A magazine, really?
Hi, my name is Melanie Falvey and I am no longer subscribed to any magazine.
You might think that´s odd, taking into account I am about to publish Issue 1 of the new The art of relaxed luxury – Melanie Falvey Magazine.
Not really, let me explain…
Some years ago I was a subscriber for Time, Life, National Geographic, House & Garden, AD Magazine, and a few others, however I have always wished you could find range of those interesting topics in the one magazine.
The perfect blend between aesthetics and information.
When I was little, among all the creative projects I was usually immersed in, I remember putting together a magazine. I can´t remember the title but what I do remember is the content. I wrote articles on books, history, nature, how to make your own perfume (which was absolutely no good and I ended up with loads of mouldy glass bottles) , how to make a ring, a couple of recipes…and so on, you see a pattern here, right?
So a few (we won´t get too specific here) years later I am back, putting together a magazine, but this time, there´s no mouldy glass bottle anywhere in sight!
I have been trying to express my creativity via different means (my career is devoted to design and style) and this publication is a representation of my creative universe along with the best talent I am continuously searching for.
Actually one of the things I am most proud of is having been able to bring together incredible experts in different fields that have generously put forward their expertise so that you, my dear Reader can not only find the magazine enjoyable but also filled with gold- gold in the form of tips, techniques, ideas, inspiration…
A huge thank you to our Issue 1 contributors! I can guarantee you will be getting outstanding value from their articles. You will learn about each of them in the next post, so stay tuned!
I firmly believe this and it is my mission to make your life (and business life) more beautiful.
Beautiful surroundings make us happier, more creative and productive. Click To TweetAmong the pages of our magazine, you will learn many ways to bring beauty into your life, your home and your work space.
Through the eyes of our guest writers, you will discover new cities, new exciting projects and you will be given tips to grow both as a person as well as a professional.

My vision is to create a magazine that inspires , that teaches and deals with different topics in a stylish and respectful way. Click To Tweet
We write things that matter for people who matter. Click To TweetThe perfect blend between aesthetics and information.
This is the reason why I created Melanie Falvey-The art of relaxed luxury Magazine.

We write things that matter for people who matter.
Why did I name it after myself?
It has nothing to do with being pretentious, far from it (I am an extremely shy introvert!). It has actually taken me years to finally use my name for what I do.
I created my couture jewellery line a few years back and I never used my own name. It was then called Chic Jewel Couture. Later on, I changed it to Chic Jewel Couture by Melanie Falvey.
But that is just one of the things I design, I have another jewelery line, My Own by Melanie Falvey, which is still high quality designs, but more affordable than my couture line. It is a very special line that connects emotions and special moments to the people wearing it.
I also design and style interiors, events and weddings.
So, you see things that involve style, design, beauty…are in my field of passion.
I have ended up understanding that it makes much more sense to have everything under my own name, as everything I do is related to design and style and the way I interpret them.
Well actually, the name of the magazine is also The art of relaxed luxury, which is our tag line. Read about it.
Who is this magazine for?
I wrote a full article on this topic, in case you´d like to read it. In the meantime, I hope this also clarifies it for you.
This magazine has been created for someone like You, who values the small luxuries in life, someone with a discerning eye who seeks beauty and a relaxed sense of luxury. Like you, someone who wants to take a deeper look into the world , its stories and affairs.
We all have different sensitivities and people who are aware of the importance of beautiful surroundings and who seek to feel happiness in their every day life and work through the little luxuries in life, will thoroughly enjoy this publication.
It aims to inspire, teach and help you grow both as a person and a professional. In fact,if you are an entrepreneur, or in business or a professional, you will find a valuable dedicated section : The Entrepreneurial Lifestyle , think of it as a magazine within a magazine, a section focused on providing lots of value to the entrepreneur, the business related and professional individual.
Thank you for being here and let me invite you to be the first to experience a new world of style.
Your new lifestyle magazine- Melanie Falvey Magazine.
Is this Magazine for You?
Is it a Woman´s Magazine?
Absolutely not!
I don´t believe in magazines just for women or just for men.
In fact, I rather think in today´s society, there is no place for such labels.
I don´t believe in grouping people into age or gender boxes. Why would we still do that when we are striving so hard to achieve complete and real equality?
I don´t believe in Men´s magazines and Women´s magazines in the same way as I don´t believe in toys for girls and toys for boys.
I don´t believe in Men´s magazines and Women´s magazines in the same way as I don´t believe in toys for girls and toys for boys Click To Tweet
Let me explain my point:
Let´s take a Cars magazine, for some, it may be considered a Man´s publication, right?
But WHY?
Don´t women (most women, unfortunately some countries still ban them from doing so) in the 21st century drive?
Oh, my goodness, they even buy cars! And the most daring ones even dare to watch F1 races!
I hope you see where I am going…
So bringing it back to our Magazine , interesting and inspiring articles on How to make the most of your living and working space, Tips on growing as a professional, Cooking, Curated luxury shopping, Travelling, just to name a few of the features you will find in Melanie Falvey Magazine , I am certain can appeal to both men and women.
Nowadays with fashion and beauty brands approaching all genders, designers and department stores creating Gender Neutral products and departments, do you really think boxed for only women or only men have a place in a modern and free society?
Not in my world. Not in the world I want to live in.
So, does that mean I am against Women´s magazines?
In some cases, they make us look dumb and frivolous, however in most cases, they are full of useful information, so I am not against them per se, I just don´t like the label: just for women. As with everything and everyone, I believe everything is improvable.
I´d rather create a space where regardless of your age and gender, you can find content that matters and enriches you as a person, as an individual, as a citizen and as a professional without any added tags.

Click To TweetFurthermore, I believe we should let (and encourage) children express their individuality without judgement – it is the only way that we will be able to create a judgmental-free and respectful society.
It is in our power to do so. And I have set this as a personal goal. I want to live in a completely respectful society, where every point of view and every way of life (which doesn´t go against any human right) , has a place.
It is time to end stereotyping every product, every person, every behaviour, every activity… every thought.
At such a tumultuous time , where our guiding principle of freedom is being jeopardized, how can we morally defend our society´s values if things (in many aspects) are still so archaic?
We can change things and improve them but let´s be honest, that change must start within our own society.
So getting back to the point…Is this Magazine for You? If you are a person who matters (which I know you are, or you wouldn´t be here), we will write things that matter to YOU. Interesting topics with a focus on relaxed luxury living, in a quest for all things beautiful, which I firmly believe, make us happier.
We write things that matter for people who matter.

I know this is a very personal view on just one tiny aspect of our world today, but it is the editorial line we shall be following at Melanie Falvey Magazine. I hope you embark on this project with us, feeling as much enthusiasm as our contributors and myself.
Thank you for reading.

What is a backdrop?
So, what exactly is a Backdrop?
In today´s business world entrepreneurs are asked to get in front of their audience and potential clients on a daily basis. Facebook live, webinars, Periscope, Busker, Blab, videos and courses make this type of communication the new, most important marketing and communication tool.
When you are on camera, there is a space around you and behind you that has to be properly designed to that it becomes a powerful marketing tool and so that it portrays a professional image. Completing your message on a visual and emotional way.
A backdrop is a very powerful communication and marketing tool.
To be able to portray your knowledge, your business style and your expertise, you should be displaying a professional and stylish backdrop that communicates all this.
I will teach you how to create one that enhances your expertise and makes you portray a professional and stylish image to your viewers.
The rest of the books in the series (to be released shortly) will teach you simple, yet effective ways to create and maximize your work space or office.

Why is it a good idea to create a Perfect Backdrop?
Let´s start with a few facts.
Video is the most powerful way to communicate your brand story, build relationships with your customers and educate about your product or service.

Moreover, it is not just a fad, it is here to stay.
Video is the future of content marketing. More than half of companies are already making use of it – a figure that’s predicted to rise rapidly over the next few months.
Companies big and small should get on board as soon as they can to make the most of this incredible tool, within the reach of anyone with a video camera or a mobile phone!
Not only that, including video on your landing page, increases conversion rates by 80%.
As much as 90% of users say that product videos help them in the decision process.
An outstanding 95% customers state they learn best when using video (alone or combined with other medium).
Furthermore, the younger generations use video as an everyday tool to communicate with friends and brands, are you flexible and adaptive? In this fast paced world we live in, only companies and individuals who are, will able to stay ahead. Do not miss out on this opportunity. If you cannot adapt fast enough, you will soon be missing out on millions of potential clients- all the younger generations and millennials.
