About BeHappyBeFreeBeHippy

Hi, I'm Melanie — Mel, if you like. ? Navy veteran, Tennessee girl living in Florida, and the human behind BeHappyBeFreeBeHippy and MelzWrld.

This site is my corner of the internet — everything I make and do, all in one place.

What you'll find here

? Photography — I photograph tiny things most people walk right past: dewdrops, rain, and the occasional very small fly. Some of my photos become photo packs and digital goodies.

? Secondhand treasures — I find new homes for old, loved things. The best things in life are old, loved & rescued — and I sell them on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, with everything linked from here.

? UGC projects — I create content for brands, over in my UGC lane.

? The workshop — that's the MelzWrld side of the blog: the tech I'm figuring out, the products I'm building, and how this whole little machine gets put together, in public, as I go.

How I do business

Slowly, organically, and without the hype. I stack small streams of income, one at a time, and everything starts here first — this site is the home base, and the other platforms are just doors that lead back to it.

Thanks for stopping by my corner. ?
