It has been a few months since I’ve been active on this blog. If you follow me on socials then you already know the exciting news, that I am expecting! I am very far along now and ready to pop at any moment!
If you want to follow along on our parenting journey, be sure to subscribe to Mellie Telly YouTube! There we revealed the sex of our baby:
And had a fun little competition to test out our new parenting skills:
Will keep you updated on her arrival very soon!

What a start to the year it has been, I am so ready for the weekend! I hope you are all staying safe and warm, I heard we can expect Spring-like weather soon. Yes!
If you are itching for some fun free entertainment during the lockdown, then I have what you are looking for on Mellie Telly YouTube! This Valentine’s day my husband and I decided to celebrate with matching shirts, chocolate, and an oh-so-romantic lie detector test. Because, why not? Check out the full video below.
We’ve also been noticing some strange things happening around our new condo lately. Could our home be haunted? Do we have a ghost living with us? Find out our final verdict below.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been following my new online vintage shop! I am so grateful for all your love and support. In only a few short months, I have reached over 2K followers on Instagram, thanks to you! Feel free to check the shop on Instagram, Etsy, or Depop HERE.
I’ve recently added some new accessories, like scarves! They are so classic and can add an extra touch of style to any outfit. For 8 new ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe, check out this quick video. If you are on the hunt for any particular vintage items, let me know!

It has been crazy these last few months. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe during this pandemic!
I admit that I’ve been slacking here, and blogging less then my usual. Instead of writing I’ve been adding a ton of new videos to my YouTube channel (Mellie Telly) on a weekly basis!
Previously my videos were more travel focused. With the lack of travel these days I have been finding fun activities to film at home (from cocktail recipes, to shaving my husbands beard, trying poop coffee, you name it), and sharing every moment with you. Don’t forget to subscribe to stay in the know of my latest releases.
Cheers,
Melissa
I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger as I said “I’ll be back”, and well, here I am! I am back in the 6ix (and just in time for a sweet Raptors win). I have no super crazy announcements to make…yet…so no need to rush out and purchase tickets to a play or schedule your DVR to record me on TV. However, I can say that I have been hitting the ground running, literally, since we have landed.
I have been lucky enough to reconnect with my previous agent, Scott Merritt, who has been sending me to multiple auditions a WEEK. Being back has brought on some new challenges, as auditioning in Amsterdam is quite different from Toronto, so that will take a bit to get used to again. It has been refreshing to get my feet wet in the Canadian acting realm.
For those interested, I have also started to post more regularity on my YouTube channel (Mellie Telly). I took a small hiatus (to ship our editing computer overseas of course) but I am back, with so much new content that I am incredibly excited to share with you on a more routine schedule! So please head over to Mellie Telly and subscribe now to stay notified of my latest videos, I’d love your support. My most recent videos are on the 160th Queens Plate in Toronto, and Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery.
I am also excited to announce that I will now be blogging for Master Traveller, and continuing to share my love of travel! Check out my Q and A HERE.
There are a few more exciting new projects on the horizon, and I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Melissa
We may be back in Canada, but we are certainly not done with travelling!
It will be different. We can no longer drive in pretty much any direction and end up in a multitude of countries. Although, we can explore our own country (and it’s prettttty big) or our neighbours to the South. Since we were itching to cross a border, we recently drove down to Allegheny National Forest and Park, which extends from Pennsylvania to New York.
There we explored the outdoors viewing waterfalls, hiking, visiting the largest dam I’ve ever seen, an old train track bridge that was demolished by a tornado, and so much more. If you want to read more about this, check out my latest article for Master Travellr HERE. There I outline my favourite stops that we made on our trip. I have also uploaded a new YouTube video on my channel Mellie Telly, all about our road trip! Watch me touch a waterfall, get sh*t on by a bird and eat the largest ice cream ever HERE!
Have you been there before? What is your favourite memory? Let me know in the comments below!

2018 was a year of travel adventures, starting a marriage, acting escapades, and more discoveries of expat life across the pond. I am super grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way, and cannot wait to see what the next year brings!
To start off the New Year, I’d love to introduce my latest project, my new YouTube channel: Mellie Telly. This channel is to share my travels with you, showcase my acting accomplishments, and everything else in between. Though it has been a few years since I’ve focused on editing, I hope to improve with each video and am open to any constructive and friendly feedback! Let me know what you want to see! Please have a look, and if you like what I’ve done so far hit the subscribe button, leave a comment, or like it! I would be forever grateful for your support!
You can check out my new channel HERE.
Be sure to stay tuned and have your reading glasses close, as I also have more articles coming out this year in my usual online magazines, along with blog posts on our upcoming trips to Spain and Denmark! Lately, my blog topics have covered living the expat life, travel tips, wedding planning, and my favourite places to eat. But if you want to hear more on other topics, let me know and be sure to follow me on Instagram @melissaverwey & @mellietelly for posting reminders!
So let us raise a glass of bubbly and cheers to an exhilarating year in 2019 for all of us! Who knows what is around the next corner?! Do you have any exciting plans in the New Year? What are your New Year’s resolutions? Let me know in the comments below!
