How Do Trees Talk to Each Other?

Hello, my lovely!

Looking back on the past two weeks since my last newsletter, I've had a packed schedule! More birthday celebrations with my cousin becoming a teenager -- I baked him the best chocolate cake ever (of course, I was in charge of cake!).

Plus my aunt invited me to this super fun dress-up gathering she has with some friends every year. I unintentionally turned myself into basically an elf, I think it might be my natural inner self shining through! Check out my outfit pictured below. ⬇️⬇️ We went to a cool Alice in Wonderland themed tea/cocktail place and had high tea. One of the coolest days I've had so far this year! Thank you, Aunt Celine 💚

In blog news, I have officially changed my domain name! So instead of withlovemelissashop.com, I am https://www.withlovemelissablog.com/ . This means that Google is going to take a little bit to catch up, so if you search my website it may still be the old domain (which you can still click on to get there!) in the search results. You may not find a particular page in the search results just yet either. My new domain needs to be indexed. So just get to the homepage and search through my search icon in the top right corner to find something. I also have a site map.

I am also doing a massive site-wide audit, going through every single blog post because some links might not have changed over, so if you see anything funky, just know I haven't gotten to that page yet!

I'm giving my ebook bundle an update. Since you are already subscribed, I am going to leave a link in my next newsletter as a thank you for staying around! I consider my newsletter supporters, my number 1 fans 💚 If you are still here, thank you for reading to the end of all these important updates!


See what I read last year! You can view my favorite books of 2023 here.

See what else I've read on my Goodreads! Feel free to friend or follow so you can have updates on your feed and we can talk books!


Did you know trees communicate with one another and support each other? Nature nonfiction books are such a fascinating subject to explore. Learn some new things today! I recommend listening to the audiobook on your commute :)

Embroidery is one of the easiest hobbies to start! Try out a new craft with plenty of resources to find free patterns or make your own.
