Stepping Out, Finding Inspiration (and Ditching the Mic)

Ever feel stuck in a rut? As Henry Ford famously said, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." Well, that's exactly what happened to me.

I recently attended a wedding in Wales, and those four glorious days away from my computer screen, surrounded by beautiful scenery and amazing people, completely re-energized me. It made me realize I'd been stuck in a creative slump for months!

Coming back, I've had a major shift. While I love podcasts, I've realized video lets me express myself more freely and connect with you in a way that feels more natural. There's something about the visual element that gets lost in audio, especially when it comes to the world of fragrance.

So, with a heavy heart (and a spring in my step!), this will be my final episode.

But fear not, fragrant friends! If you want to delve deeper into my world of perfume adventures, from lavender fields and jasmine farms to perfume exhibitions and of course, my ever-growing bottle collection, then head over to my YouTube channel, The Naked Perfumer by Melanie Jane.
