MELLY’S MEALS | 22 Time to Eat
Hey you and happy August!
AUGUST 2024
This month has been a bit of a blur, but in a good way We’ve been beaching it, spending time by the pool, doing some shopping and really just enjoying life by the coast There are so many restaurants I’m excited to try that I’m getting hungry just thinking about it I love sushi and am on the hunt for the best, so I’ll let you know my recommendations
I’ve learned that going to the beach at any time of day is a great idea. I’ve been at 8am when there’s still a nice sunrise view, during the day when it’s raining and blazing hot, and at night when the ocean looks so unpredictable and strong.
My second week living on the coast of South Carolina, I experienced my first hurricane. Hurricane Debby brought lots of wind, rain and strong ocean currents, but thankfully didn’t do much damage in my area. The scariest part was the unknown as to how bad the storm might actually be. I guess I can check that off my bucket list and I hope that no more big storms make landfall this hurricane season!
This month I want to challenge you all to do something that you’ve wanted to do for a while It can be small like cooking a new dish, buying a new outfit, trying a new restaurant, hanging out with a friend, picking up a new hobby, etc I’m going to do the same and I’ll let you know what I choose I’m not going to lie, there’s a place I’ve been wanting to eat at and that might be mine The new hobby I’ve already picked up this month is finding shark teeth
Here are some tips to find them
:
1) look for a shiny black color to catch you eye (not just black, it must be shiny)
2) look for the shape of the shark tooth in general
3) walk along the waters edge when the water comes in and goes out on the shore (not just in shell beds)
4) carry an empty pill bottle to collect them in once you find them (they’re light weight and can fly away in the wind, I’m speaking from experience lol)
As always, thank you for supporting my content. I’ve said this before, but I’m really just getting started. Thank you for being there from the beginning Cheers to an awesome month, and I’ll see you in September! Best, ~Melly~
What have you been up to this summer?
This summer has been the most epic yet! After traveling all summer, we have landed on the coast of South Carolina OFFICIALLY!!!! Living on the beach feels like vacation when it’s actually home! If you ever get the chance, I recommend living by some body of water because it’s so refreshing and relaxing.
What do you love most about the beach?
The thing I love most about the beach is searching for shells and shark teeth. I’ve been collecting shells my whole life, but over the past year have gotten the eye to find shark teeth, which so so exciting when you see one! Shark teeth searching is my newest hobby!
How is it making content on the beach?
Making content on the beach is endless fun! I can’t get enough of the ocean, sand, sun and exploring new beach sights Every beach day is an adventure I recently recorded a video in the ocean and salt water got in my charging port so I must say I was concerned with the condition of my phone. I’m happy to report it’s still working normally, but you never know what can happen when recording Mellyland content, that’s for sure!
Any exciting things happening for you?
Right now I’m excited just to be in a new environment. I’m excited to get acclimated and involved in my kid’s new schools, trying new restaurants and boating/ jet skiing withy family on the regular. There is much for me to look forward to and I’m excited to share all of that with you.
What can we expect from you this fall?
because since I’m in a new state I want to explore all of the local events. I love pumpkins patches, hayrides, chili cook offs, making apple pies, Thanksgiving, Halloween and a cool crisp feel in the air. I’m thankful that the weather will still be warm enough to be outside by the water throughout the fall season!

If you thought playing basketball in heels seemed hard, imagine walking in them in wet sand! I’m tackling a whole new beast and I must say it’s comical and enjoyable It takes balance and core strength to focus on walking on your toes so that your heels don’t sink in But my goal is to walk with such grace that it looks easy, same as on the court It’s funny to me to see others walking past me doing my content and wondering what they’re thinking It’s likely that they’ve never seen anything like what I’m doing before so in my head I’m laughing! In anything you do in life, it’s important to do things you’re comfortable with Everyone’s comfort level is different and there’s content ideas that we have that I’m like, no, I’m not doing that! Do what’s best for yourself at all times unless it hurts others and then don’t do it at all
