hi, friend!

welcome

I’m Mel *hand wave*

I grew up in the sunshine state, I'm obsessed with anything marble, I love hiking, picnics at sunset, and making friends with the neighborhood pups.

I express myself through Plane & Cheesy and take pictures every chance I get… for the visuals, of course. Between road trips and plane rides, I try my best to connect with people from all walks of life. I love to inspire others to live a life full of food tastings and travel experiences. Do you need a taste tester buddy?!

LET'S PLAN IT ⟶

@nctv17 🤝🏽 inform, connect, & empower Sinc @nctv17 🤝🏽 inform, connect, & empower Since I was very young, my family instilled in me the importance of giving back. Over the years, I have volunteered with multiple organizations and always wanted to be the connector helping others do the same. After earning my Master of Business Administration in another state, meeting the love of my life, and moving across the country a few times, I have settled in Illinois. As a new resident, I am excited to continue my nonprofit work with Naperville Community Television (NCTV17). Throughout my personal and professional life, I strive to be a philanthropist, connector, and driven individual. With the mentorship of those back home and my new leadership, I am eager to explore Naperville’s culture. Thank you for the warm welcome over this past month-ish! #Philanthropy #Naperville #Growth #NewOpportunity
Don’t be stub-boar-n & buy Hogsworth 🐷🥃 @ Don’t be stub-boar-n & buy Hogsworth 🐷🥃 @bhaktaspirits launched Hogsworth Bourbon about a month ago. @drinkhogsworth is touring #Illinois with Ted! If you’ve heard of @whistlepigwhiskey, you’re in the right place. But really, Ted is the star of the show. 🐷 A bit of history though, @rajpeterbhakta ages the bourbon 40+ years from France. Hogsworth marries the finest American bourbons with rare and exquisite Armagnacs! It toured all of #Illinois in 30 days. Can you believe that!? See us in #Naperville! #AD | #planeandcheesy #drinkhogsworth #hogsworthtour #sponsored #Illinois #GetYourHogsworth #OinkOink #BourbonWhiskey #Armagnac #Batch1Blend9 #Hogsworth  — THANK YOU to my friends for making this possible for me! I appreciate you & am so so grateful to have you follow along in my shenanigans!
the #wedding planning process in seconds Most peo the #wedding planning process in seconds Most people don’t realize that I was engaged for more than 2.5 years before we tied the knot. Tyler & I have had so much transition in our lives the last few years & we’ve finally settled down in #Illinois. It’s crazy to think that brides get wild during their wedding planning process. The one thing I vowed to myself & told my peoples to keep me accountable for was for NEVER being a #Bridezilla 🥲 I had so much time to plan & figure out exactly what we wanted. It was a blessing for sure! I planned my own wedding but had the best team for weekend of!
