Melanie Lampro

With roots in Cornwall and a home right here in South Yorkshire, I'm simply navigating life's adventures, often with my rescue dog by my side. My world revolves around the pursuit of well-being, creative expression, and fostering a strong sense of community.

I genuinely believe in the power of self-care and community support. My passion for animal rescue runs deep, and in my downtime, you might find me exploring vegan recipes, cultivating my houseplant jungle, or sharing the uplifting power of aromatherapy. I also love to get out into nature whenever I can, especially woodland or the seaside.

My passions are broad, encompassing music, art, literature, folklore, film, and more. I feel truly fortunate that I can also weave the majority of these into my career. This extends to spirituality, particularly an appreciation for the natural, earth-based power of the universe. I aim to embrace a truly well-rounded lifestyle that incorporates all these areas.

As a TEMPLESPA Consultant and #FairySpamother🧚‍♀️ since 2017, my aim is to bring a bit of that luxurious, Mediterranean diet-inspired spa experience directly to you. I focus on providing personalised consultations and product recommendations, hoping to guide you on a skincare and wellness journey that feels just right!

My dedication is to helping 'every you' feel good about their skin health and overall well-being, always with an inclusive, vegan and cruelty-free approach. It's truly rewarding to hear feedback like, "I trust her skin care advice implicitly," or "Always easy and hassle free to order," and "Cannot recommend her enough."

I'm also the creator of #XSelfCare💋, a community hashtag made for sharing real, everyday moments of self-care on X. From skincare rituals and journaling to quiet resets and boundary-setting, it's care sent with love — from you, to you.

Since 2017, I've had the pleasure of being a co-host for the vibrant #UKGiftHour and #UKGiftAM communities. I try to bring a bit of #BreakfastClub energy to weekend mornings, aiming to help connect indie creatives and small businesses. It's really rewarding to contribute to curating content and fostering a supportive environment, ultimately hoping to boost their visibility and networking opportunities across the UK.

Beyond my work in skincare and community, I'm also involved as the lead vocalist and songwriter for Braver than Fiction. Since 2013, we've been crafting our alternative folk-rock sound, which we describe as 'dark, loungey swagger.' Our aim is to create something distinctive, and we've sometimes heard comparisons to the 'grotesque glamour' of Tom Waits and even Fleetwood Mac's Rumours era.

We've had the chance to perform live in various UK cities, and it's always great to hear feedback. For instance, Counterfeit Magazine once said we "sound even better live than they do recorded and polished." It's rewarding to contribute to something that resonates with people.

My world is filled with well-being, creativity, and building community. If you're interested in TEMPLESPA skincare, discussing vegan living, finding connection in nature, or exploring any of my diverse interests, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
