Hi Melissa, I also knit my facial clothes and small towels. My husband also loves these washcloths for his body. I make his bigger so to keep them separate. I too, enjoy knitting. Hugs, Susan
Oh Susan, those are terrific ideas!!! I like the small towels idea, too. Are they like hand towels you hand in your bathroom? Or do you use them in your kitchen? I am intrigued. Thank you! Melissa
I would love to learn how to make these washcloth . Any video that you know for beginners ?
Hi Melissa. My 34 year old son just saw you on this video and he said you look 38! He said “some of the girls I date are not as pretty as she is!” You just look so amazing! I hope you realize how pretty you are! That skincare layering is working! You just glow!! 💝💝💝
LOVED the knitted washcloths!! I am going to make myself some and I think I might make some for my granddaughters as part of a "spa" basket with facial cleanser, an oatmeal mask, and some bubble bath and some other goodies. I thought they were such a good idea and I am going to stitch their names on theirs and crotchet a cute trim on them. I think that is such a great idea! Plus they are nice cotton that you can just toss in the wash and clean them well. Love it!
Hello Melissa! You look so beautiful in red! Oh yes, I do remember my Christmas note to you in YT messages...lol...Instagram is better!!! I feel so bad that I have never understood my phone so I never get to see Snap Chats or Instagram much...it's just to much for my tiny brain! I am going to try to make an effort this summer to learn more about my phone. I am missing out!!! Love you and thank you for a great video!!! Skincare....it's so fun and rewarding!!! Love you and yours!!! Oliver too! xxo Sues & The Dez
Melissa you're fantastic! I have so enjoyed watching your videos for the last few months and love all your recommendations. I have been thinking I needed to take up knitting again. My novice ability should be able to handle these facecloths. Great idea! Thank you so much. I so love your sweet southern voice and your fun informative presentation. I have enjoyed every video I have seen. It is so nice to be able to get all the ideas I need at my age to keep current, healthy and active. I have used tretinoin on and off for 30 years and it does make a difference so I am using it more in the last year and even on my eyelids the last few weeks after I saw women on TH-cam say they had used it. It did get very dry and irritated the first time and then I used oils to hydrate and then cautiously proceeded the next week to use it with my eye cream every other day. Thanks again Melissa. xo
I still love your background! I didn’t know youtube had a direct message! I better take a peek at that! I enjoy your Instagram posts. It’s like a daily visit with Melissa! I listen closely when you talk Skincare. You have beautiful skin! I’m going to try to make a washcloth! I used to know how to knit a scarf, so I’ll give it a go! We are driving to Florida for spring break! I’ll try to learn then!
Thank you for sharing!!
Much love to you!
Dawn💕
Hi Melissa, I used to love to knit sweaters for my kids when they were young and somehow along the way I dropped that hobby. I think this video may spur to pick it up again and knit some washcloths. Thanks so much, Beth
Oh Beth I do hope you pick it back up. It's just so relaxing to me, well you know how good it makes you feel. Thank you and much love, Melissa
I used the entire Obaji anti aging system the year I turned 50 and I loved the results! The last few years I have used the same ones you did, LOL I use the Blender with my Retin-A and Clear. I usually use it in the fall.
Melissa, I gave ordered the cotton yarn to make the cloths. Great idea. Thank you. I love the top you are wearing today. Have a great weekend. ❤️. Sandra
When I was 17 and first married Rogers grandmother taught me how to knit, and I still have my needles. But I need to get my bag back out and try to remember what that simple stitch was. She also taught me to crochet, and I made a beautiful table scarf with the thread that is almost as thin as thread. It's really beautiful and my mother has it. It was on her coffee table when I was there taking care of her and it's amazing that I did that. It was a pineapple design. She liked it so much I gave it to her years ago. Three years later I had our son, and well I sure didn't have time for those hobbies anymore. Then eventually I went to work. So, thanks for bringing this back to my mind, and it was great seeing you demo just a couple stitches...much love my beautiful friend..xoxo
Melissa I have to give you a big thumbs up on the washcloths. I don't knit so I ordered 3 of them off Etsy. They had the same stitch you used. OMG I just washed my face and it was so incredibly soft. For some reason I thought it might be rougher but it was great! I hope I can have great skin like you! LOL. I think I'm going to teach myself to knit so I can make them for myself. xoxo. As always love you and your channel. I learn so much. xoxo.
My Mom always sends me those cute little washcloths. I love them she always puts a note in that says each stitch is a prayer...
She recently sent me a box of yarn. Says its good therapy. I learned as a kid to knit, crochet and cross stitch. ..never thought of using them for my face! You are something else Melissa! Xo
aw, you are lucky that your mom does that. What a blessing! I love her! Oh please knit some and see what you think. If you don't like them they are great in the kitchen!!! Good luck and thanks. Love, Melissa
Just wanted to say I came across your TH-cam channel a few weeks ago, and I have really enjoyed watching and getting some good info/tips. I’m actually in the process of knitting a washcloth...slowly. Hopefully, I’ll get the hang of it. 😊.
Hi Melissa! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for inspiring me to pick up knitting again! I taught myself how to knit with a you tube video tutorial. Now I knitting my first washcloth. 😃
Oh thank you so much, Rebecca. That is so kind of you. I tell you what, you can learn anything on TH-cam can't you? It's amazing. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Hi dear. I'm going to get stuff and try to make some. I have real bad arthritis! !😔. But I'm going to just do a little bit at a time. I can't wait. I used to crochet, and knit back when I was younger. Loved it. And you are so right. It is a calming thing to do. Thank you for sharing your beautiful face, and ideas. God bless.
I am so rubbish at Knitting, always dropping stitches and my tension was always too tight. My Nan and Mother were both talented knitters and could create anything and follow patterns etc for clothes and toys.. but me..nope. However I found that I was pretty good a Crotchet and have made and sold a couple of Afghans and toys in the past. I might just try out a basic crotchet version face cloth, it shouldn't be that much different to a knitted one. Keep up the Instagram stories!.. I look forward to seeing you and hearing about what you're up to.. you're so much fun and it makes my day :) .. Much love :x
Melissa, after watching you for years, I started knitting my washcloths last year and I love them. I always have them in my bathroom..they are the best for facial cleansing. I also use them for steaming my face after cleaning. Great tip and they are fun to make!❤️🌷
Hi Melissa, I make myself facial little towels. I use one for a day or two and make them about 45 stitches wide and like 60 rows. In other words, in comparison to my facial cloths, the towel is 1 1/2 times the width and 2 times as long. I only use these on my face. The washcloths I make my husband are 1 1/2 times the width and the length of my facial clothes which are 28 to 30 stitches and 28-30 rows. I use the facial cloths only once. I hope I explained that clearly. Hugs, Susan
Good morning, beautiful, and happy Friday. You are making me want to knit or crochet again!! Love those wash clothes. Always love to hear about your skincare, because it works for you!! Love, you Melissa....MaryEllen
Wowie! I use to knit for my Barbies about 50 years ago ... I think I can still manage a square ... LOL! Thank you sweet spirit ... you blessed my heart! Smiles, Stella
awwww, that is so sweet. I love that. Oh yes you can do them easily!!! Thank you so much, Stella. Love, Melissa
I never knitted but I use to crochet, then I developed a problem with my wrist and stopped and then I forgot LOL You look beautiful! I love you! xoxo Mary
Oh shoot, I hate that Mary. I need to knit you some. Love you and thank you so much! Melissa
Hi Melissa! I just recently got an Instagram account and I am shocked about how much I love it and love watching everyone's Instagram videos. I hardly ever get on fb anymore bc Instagram is so much fun. Anyway, I love your videos on there and you make me laugh so hard! I watched the one today where you talked about your parents and I hate to admit that I am fascinated with bad weather too, but not to the point that I would go chasing a tornado. Lol! It is crazy that your parents would not know when your bday is! Anyway, I love love love all your videos here and on Instagram and just wanted to tell you thanks for keeping me entertained and keep the videos coming bc we love them!
By the way, I love to knit and crochet too. I have never made washcloths before and I think I'll go buy some 100 cotton so I can make some. Thanks for inspiring me always!
I have never tried knitting. I love how you described it as yoga for the mind. I could use something like that in my life right now. Thank you, Melissa!
I should challenge you to learn to knit, Charlie! lol Seriously though, there is something soothing and satisfying about the clicking of the needles and before you know it, you've got a product. It's nice. Thanks so much! Love ya, Melissa
Hi Melissa! I started using the Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam last summer after watching one of your videos recommending it. I love it! I have an oily complexion that is sensitive to some cleansers & I haven't had a problem w/ the cleanser. It works great at removing my makeup. Thank you for recommending it!😎
I'm glad you mentioned the washcloths again. I cannot knit to save my neck, so when you talked about these before, I decided to make some with tunisian crochet...and I love them! And ♥♥♥ you!
Oh that sounds intriguing. I'm going to look up what that is. I can't crochet! lol It's usually one or the other with people. Oh my gosh, i googled it and it looks like knitting. That is so cool. Lots of love and thanks, Melissa
Hey Melissa, Enjoyed! Very informative. Im always unsure how to layer! Love your cute top.
xoxo, Johnna
OMG, Mellisa, I make the same ones from the same yarn !!!! I work taking care of the elderly in home, and when they are sleeping, or doing their thing, I knit. Its so relaxing for me !!!!! xo SImone
It really is relaxing isn't it? Just the repetition of the hands and the needles clacking. I need to find my a cute sweater pattern for the summer. Thank you so much! Love Melissa
My Obagi sister! I agree with everything you said, and I may have to try that cleanser! Thank you! ❤️ Lisa
Did you get that cleanser? If so let me know what you think. I really do like it a whole lot! Thanks Lisa and lots of love, Melissa
Loved your knitted washcloths! Such a great idea!! 😊 thanks for sharing 😊
aw, thanks, pretty lady! I sure appreciate it. Love, Melissa
My mom tried to teach me to knit and I couldn't do it to save my life. The stitches just got tighter and tighter! I believe I can do what you're doing. It does look very relaxing. I'm going to give it a try! Thank you~ xoxo
You can do it Mel!!! You really can. It is so relaxing and calming and you feel a sense of accomplishment. Love you sweet lady! Thank you. Melissa
You always make me feel happier! I feel your joyous heart. And that skin woman. I think about your resolve as a young girl and what you knew you wanted and look what you have achieved. Always a joy to watch and I'm glad I did this morning! xxoo gorgeous woman
awww, thank you. You know the first time you commented and I saw your picture, I knew we were friends. I love that picture of you and just the pose and how you look at the camera just seemed so beautiful and sweet and I just love it! So thank you so much! Love you! Melissa
Hi Melissa, you got me knitting these wash cloths last year and my sister saw and tried one..... and yes it wasn't long before her order was in lol!!! she loves them. I hadn't knitted for a about 20yrs so it was great to do something while watching tv, good exercise for the fingers too. hugs x
Oh that is just marvelous, Cass. I cannot tell you how pleased I am. It really is great while watching tv isn't it? It makes you feel so good about yourself too. Love and thanks, Melissa
I love your videos ! I buy my facecloths from Etsy since I do not knit. The ones I buy are expensive and almost what I want ! Lol! If any of your viewers can do this and sell them I’m ready to buy ! Love the bumps in them.
Hi Melissa. I always enjoy your videos on skincare , so Thank You! I'd also love to hear about any new knitting patterns you will be starting. I love to knit and have made several of your washcloths and think they work really well on my face too. It is a type of therapy for me and find it very calming and rewarding as well. Have a Blessed weekend.
Sandra E
Oh thank you so much! I've been looking at some summer off the shoulder tops but haven't bought any yarn yet or anything. It really is a type of therapy isn't it? And so rewarding. thank you! Melissa
Obagi Blender has hydroquinone and you are using it 12 months a year....wow , that’s amazing. I thought you need to take a break of hydroquinone at least three months off then on again.You are very beautiful and thanks for this great video.Knit knit knit 👍👍👍
I think I need to start up on my Obagi NuDerm regimen again. I used it for the first time about 10 years ago for maybe one or two years. And WOW, yes, that stuff really works. I loooooved my skin - it actually looked so good that it looked better without any makeup whatsoever. It’s probably been almost 10 yrs though since I’ve used it. Time to get back to the dermatologist to get a retin A script! I love using those knitted washcloths especially in the kitchen and I used to use them all the time. I don’t knit though (not anymore🙁) and I can’t remember where I got them.....and I don’t have anymore now. I’ll have to look for a TH-cam video and learn how to knit once again!
Hey pretty lady, I love your skincare regime, the Obagi products so amazing and your skin always looks amazing! I love how you knit your own washcloths, if I lived closer I'd get you to knit me some! :) Looking beautiful my sweet friend, have a great weekend, love you, hugs, Susan xox♥
aw, thanks, Suz!!! If you lived closer, I would have those needles in your hand so fast and you would be clacking away on them! lolol When I come to Scotland someday, be ready! hahahaha. Just kidding. Love you! Melissa
Hi Melissa, I love the sound of your washcloth, and I am going to be changing and working on some skincare. I have some items I love and some I like, but Retin A or basically the Retinoid family got me a stir, in trying to figure out what I want for sure? I have some items from the ZO Obagi that I do like, but never tried the ones you have, but they do sound interesting. Love hearing the skincare from all of you, I learn so much!! Hope you have a wonderful week! xoxo
Yep, I agree knitting is very therapeutic, I will have to give the wash cloths a go. As always your skin and make up look beautiful. xxx
It really is therapeutic. Is so satisfying - the sounds and just the repetitive motion. Thanks so much! Melissa
I love to knit! I have always felt it relaxes me so much. Love your videos and IG stories! I'm going to knit myself some wash clothes now, thanks!
You are a girl after my own heart Patti!!! awwww thank you. You will love those washcloths even if just for your kitchen. Love and thanks, Melissa
Going to Walmart today to get some yarn...going to give these washcloths a try!!!! Thanks Melissa! xoxox Gabrielle
Hey Gab!!! You can do it girl. I have lots of faith in you! Love to you, Melissa
You hooked me on using the Obagi Blender with my Retin A. I haven't quite finished the first bottle yet, but I already have the back-up. Thanks for sharing the way you apply your products. I am always wondering if I am doing things the "right" way...then ask myself...is there really a right way? I used to knit...years ago...old fashioned pillow covers. I am going to have to pull those needles back out. You are so right...it is yoga for the mind...it is just something soothing to do. I think that is why I like to iron as well. I can just see the results so quickly and it allows you to think...You look so pretty...as always. I checked out below...but didn't see...what blush do you have on today? Blessings:D
Melissa your washrags look so good..A friend made me one year ago and I use it until there was holes in it..lol I just loved it..Guess I am going to have to find a video and try..You look so beautiful in red (or any other) color..You are so pretty!! Love to you Loretta
Thank you so much, Loretta. Oh you can do it!! It isn't hard at all and you might really enjoy it. You really feel like you've accomplished something. Good luck! Love, Melissa
Melissaaaaa! Girl you don't even KNOW how many times I watched your early Obagi videos! Loveeeee hearing you talk Obagi! Awwww your washcloths! I love those! Makes me want to learn to garter stitch! You and our sweet Elle BOTH love to knit! I'm gonna learn!! Getting yarn this weekend and turning on a video to learn! Did you say the yarn we need? Does it matter? Love you you sweet girl! And ALWAYS love your skincare! Kisses!!! xoxoxo!!!
Oh I wish remembered how to knit! This video was wonderful, Melissa! You’re such a ray of sunshine! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us! I appreciate you very much!! Have a fantastic weekend! 💗 xoxo
aw, thanks, girl. I bet it would come back to you in no time. You are so sweet!!! Thank you so very much. I am the one that appreciates you, believe me. Love, Melissa
I was just watching Darlene knit washcloths on her channel. I wish I remembered how to knit. I use to do it as a teen. It was so relaxing.
It really is relaxing, Marla. It would be so easy for you to pick it up again. I really get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Love ya sweet lady! Melissa
Looking gorgeous GF!💘 My mom knitted me a few washcloths ever since you had mentioned it. She enjoys it plus it helps keeping fingers limber.😊 Much love, xx
awww, I love that cause I knit them for my daughter, too. It makes us feel needed!!! Love to you and thanks! Melissa
I use the knit cotton washcloths all the time and just love them. Only I'm a snob and use undyed organic cotton. Haha! The poem is: In through front door / Run around the back / Peek through the window / Off jumps Jack!
Aren't they just wonderful! You know, I think undyed organic cotton might be even better. I'm going to get some and see what I think. OK, I'm going to take a picture of that saying so I can remember it. lol. Many thanks! Melissa
I just started on retin A and am doing it slowly on twice a week and haven’t noticed much difference but my skin had been dryer and hope to get some good results !!! On my 6 th week Your skin is so beautiful and young looking !! I’m also going to knit some wash clothes too !!! Great video and Love to watch you and you are so GORGEOUS INSIDE AND OUT !!! ❤️much love
Oh good luck, Jackie! You might not notice as many results until you add more nights. It's really a process to make it work isn't it? A LOT of patience! I remember that feeling. aww, thank you. I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
Hi Melissa!!!I love hearing your routine...I like that about the toner too!! I have a question...All your makeup comes off with the Shiseido White Lucent and your washcloth even your eye makeup???? If so wow!! You are so unique in your skin care....but your results are gorgeous!!! Now I want everything you use!!! ha....Love you!!! xoxoxoox Carol
Thank you so much Melissa! Your video made me want to start knitting. I feel it will be better than yoga! xo
awww, thank you. Well Yoga is pretty good too, getting those muscles going. But thank you so much. xoxox
The wild curl is gone lol 😆💚 I enjoy your insta stories ☺
Love spending time with you Melissa. Those wash cloths look great. When I was little my Mom was always knitting. So very long ago, I don't remember how to anymore. Loved hearing about your skincare routine. Your background looks pretty. It always did. Doug's surgery is getting closer and I will be praying for you both. Love you sweetie pie, xoxo Mary
Thanks so very much, Mary. aw, I love that your mother was a knitter. Really, you could pick it back up in a heart beat. Doug's surgery is Wednesday, so thank you for the prayers!!! I really appreciate you Mary! Love you back, Melissa
Hi beautiful Melissa! I really enjoyed hearing how you layer your skincare. It can be confusing if you use a number of different products! I think those wash cloths are such a great idea! They would give the perfect exfoliation. I must try knitting some. You look so gorgeous! I love that colour on you. I hope you are having a great week. Lots of Love, xoxo Daphne.💖💖
Thank you so much, Daphne. You are just so sweet. I am hoping you aren't still getting lots of snow. You all really got so much. We don't get much here in the south so we would have been shut down if we had gotten that much. lol. Thanks so much, sweetie. Love, Melissa
Hi Melissa, you always look gorgeous. I don't even know how to use instant messaging on TH-cam and on Instagram I'm so sick of strange men wanting to talk to me, I do like chatting with my friends on IG but I wish the creeps would go away! 😀 It's always a joy to spend time with you, I don't knit my mom use to, I doubt I'd have the patience. LOL Lots of love, Cathy xoxo 😘
Hey Melissa! I love to knit and crochet! I've used that cotton yarn many times and it's easy to work with! Gonna whip one of these up tomorrow. I have some in a natural color left. It's so therapeutic! I make baby blankets for whoever I know that's having a baby and usually monogram the name on them! I probably made 2 dozen if not more! They make the best gift! You look extra Beautiful today! Hugs! XO💋💋
You know, it really is easy to work with isn't it, especially for the price. It really is therapeutic. Just very satisfying down to my soul or something. lol awww, I love you make baby blankets! That is so sweet. Love and many thanks, Melissa
Hi Melissa, Your complexion looks pretty so keep doing what you are doing. Those wash cloths look great. I use wash cloths too, but so far just the terry cloth towels you buy at the store. I will have to check out the You Tube videos on how to knit. My veterinarian gave me a knitted wash cloth as a gift one year. One of her clients knits them. Your make up looks so pretty and your lacey top is pretty too. Have a wonderful rest of the week! xoxo, Karen
Blissful ignorance works well in 30+ years of marriage I can agree:)) My husband doesn’t understand Facebook let alone Instagram but he knows it’s a form of communication I enjoy and doesn’t even ask questions about it anymore. Like you I like a simple routine and feel we have to all just try things until we find what works best for us. Thanks for all you do and I enjoy your Insta stories everyday! It’s like having morning coffee with one of your girlfriends. Have a great weekend. Much love, Kat
Love that your skincare routine is simple. I use a couple more serums than you but mine is pretty simple too. I wish I could knit...my friend tried to teach me years ago with no luck...LOL. Hope you have a great weekend Melissa! Love ya!
I do like a simple skincare routine. And it's really important to make it work for your particular skin I think. Oh girl, I wish I lived near you. I'd have you whipping out washcloths in no time! lol Many thanks, Melissa
Happy Friday Melissa! I love your videos. Your sweet smile and happy attitude make my day better!! xoxo
Oh Lisa thank you! And to tell you the truth, this comment just made my attitude and my whole day better. Thank you! Love, Melissa
Lol, you are so cute and funny! I never though of knitted wash clothes but I can see how they would be nice. I tried knitting during the holidays but in my case it ended up as knotting. 😖 but maybe I will give it another go at some point. I can see it is relaxing. Enjoyed the video. Thanks Melissa!
1st !! Lots of love Melissa !! Thanks for this video !!! I’ll be layering mine too like you .cause I’ll have what ever your having !! Your skin looks amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi Melissa, good to see you.
I want to start knitting again, especially your wash clothes. I haven't knitted since I was 20 yrs old and I will be 60 in August.
Could you please tell me what kind of needles you have and the size and where I could find them? I sure would appreciate it, Thank you
You Take Care and GOD BLESS YOU xoxo 😇❤
I used to knit when I was in my 20's but I haven't done anything with knitting for a very long time. I think I'll take this up once again.
It really has been enjoyable to make some cute tops and of course these washcloths. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. Thank you! Melissa
Ok melissa, I finally signed up for instagram! Hope I can figure it out and follow you. I just finished watching your May video GRWM where you do your messy bun. You mentioned you are a bit discouraged with TH-cam and really like to do Instagram stories. I don't know what those are but I'm looking forward to them :)
Hi Melissa, You are a joy to watch. You are always so upbeat. Maybe I will start knitting at some point. It sounds relaxing . I really like your earrings. They are so unique. Do you have a favorite website where you get such cute earrings? Thanks for all the tips you give us. I always look forward to your videos. Blessings.
aw, thanks so much, Debbie!!! It really is so relaxing. I get a lot of my earrings from Daniela Palatnik. She has some really unique jewelry.www.etsy.com/shop/danielapalatnik?ref=l2-shopheader-name
Thank you so much! Melissa
I will try knitting a few washcloths. It does look so relaxing. You look beautiful, as always!
It really is. Just the creating something and the sound of the needles clicking is wonderful. awwww, thank you!!! Love Melissa
You look so beautiful in this video Melissa. I’m going to try knitting some wash cloths x
How the heck are you Carra!!! It's so good to hear from you. Oh girl, you will love them, even it you just use them in the kitchen! Love and thanks, Melissa
Mommy told me how to knit and crochet when I was 5 and I never stopped! You're totally right sweetie, knitting is yoga for the mind. I knit everywhere and anytime, watching TV, in the garden, waiting at the doctor... I knit clothes, blankets, cushions, washclothes, I always have a "work in process" and enjoy it. Is it Spring that makes you look so young and beautiful? You look like fresh flowers in my garden ma jolie. Sending you my love and kisses. A très bientôt belle dame. xoxo Chantal
I made some of the wash cloths when you showed them along time ago and I love them. My Aunt use to crochet them but I like them knitted better. Love ya! xoxo
awwww, I didn't know you had done that! That really tickles me. I can't crochet to save my life. lol I wish we could sit and knit together! Love ya and thanks, Melissa
Good afternoon 😃 gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your skin care options and how you layer each one. Yes you are the Instagram insta story queen 👸. Wash clothes ...I don’t like the Clarisonic either. Excellent advice for us mature gals. Stay fabulous. Hugs 🤗
Hey there girl!!!! I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much!!! I sure appreciate you. I don't know why I don't like the clarisonic. I should, but I just don't. Love to you! Melissa
You inspired me to pick up my needles again. I have been so lazy. You look gorgeous. Stay well my friend. Love ya 🍀💚
I KNOW how beautifully you knit, cause I use your dishcloth all the time! :) Lots of love, MA, Melissa
Wow, what an awesome idea! I don't knit but I will be dusting off my crochet needle, thx!
Oh perfect!!! The crochet ones work just as well! I just don't know how to crochet. lol. Many thanks, Melissa
Enjoyed this video! You have me wanting to learn to knit! My daughter enjoys knitting, I think I'll get her to help me! Thanks for showing how you layer your products! Have a great rest of the week!
aw thanks, Betsy! You can do it! It really is a relaxing hobby I sure appreciate you. Love, Melissa
I had to chuckle at you when you said you didn't want Doug to know all you share. I tend to be very open too. LOL Your top is soooo pretty XXOXO
I just realized that I think I’ve been watching videos and not commenting. I think… I’m finding I’m remembering things so well anymore. LOL. xoxo, Swoozie
Hi lovely lady. . Well your routine is sure working because your skin is just beautiful, as are you. You look at least 15 years younger than you are, I really mean that !
Re knitting - Its funny that you should say about it being relaxing because my husband has always loved it when I take up knitting he says its so relaxing and "homey" . You've got me hankering after it now so I need to get out my knitting needles forthwith !!!! I've hever used instagram so Im going to take a look at that too.
How are you liking your new bed ?
By the way, just looooove that top, colour is gorgeous on you. Thanks for the video. Whenever I see your lovely smiling face pop up on my notification page I smile from ear to ear and can't wait to watch your latest video. Thanks for sharing sweetie, or, as we say in Wales "Diolch o galon" (thanks from the heart)
Xxxxxx
Melissa, I have to say that my husband and I watched Broadchurch on your recommendation. We have watched all three seasons already. We really enjoyed it!! We are sad they aren't making more. Thanks for mentioning that show! ♥
Hi, no more Broadchurch unfortunately but look for Unforgotten which is also excellent. 2 series so far and one more to come. Both series were big hits here in the UK. Enjoy.
Lee Lush Thank you Lee!
Hi Melissa, dermatologist will tell you that toners, today, are just not necessary. Astringenet toners were used in the past to counteract the alkalinity of soap but facials cleansers now typically are Ph balanced or slightly acidic by themselves.
Glad to see you knit with circular needles, too. Love them. Right now, my knitting is all about socks for my son who says mine are the only socks he likes. I finally taught myself to knit two at a time which speeds up the process. Knitting is a favorite hobby for architects and engineers because it uses mathematics and creates a 3D object from a 2D design. Cheers!
Palladio 747 Not exactly... Soaps are acidic and toners today do much more than rise your skin pH. Some have vitamins and AHA to do a mild exfoliation.
I just have never liked toners. I just like stuff right next to the skin. I really prefer circular needles even if knitting straight. Oh you have my utmost admiration if you are knitting socks. I have to admit they are not my favorites. that is so interesting about architects & engineers! I appreciate it! xoxox, Melissa
Melissa55 Again, if you put a strong acid directly on dry skin it will strenght its potency/side effects as more amount of the product will be absorved into the skin.
Unlike you, I do the French/Korean 5 steps skin care at night (4 steps int the morning, instead of moiturizer I use a creamy sun blocker ). I use an oil to remove my makeup ( it removes it all, even eye waterproof makeup!) put lots of water to take it off (plain water is acidic...) and a toner after to hydrate and balance my skin' s pH. Serum/cream/oil came after, no oils on summer.
I don't use foams or soaps on my face, cause of the drying/stretching effect, only micellar water. But my skin is getting more and more dry, I work in cold (18° celsius) operating rooms with very low humidity (30%) the entire year and I like to feel my skin very hydrated and plumped. I'm also a skin care freak, and like to try new stuff, alternate a lot!, right know with skin growth factors Serum.
I have a good skin at 45 yo, I don't smoke or drink alcohol, no real wrinkles (some fine lines on eye contour area and forehead...), spots or sun damage, and excellent genetics. People give me less 10 years. I don't know what happens after menopause, when women really start to age. I don't know if my skin routine is better than yours (or not) but it makes me feel great spoiling my skin every night. Have a nice Sunday!
I think your routine sounds marvelous!!! I think probably your skin routine is better than mine because it works for you! lol What I mean is to me a skin care is successful if it works for that person and they are happy with it, but it might not be for everyone. I think the harsh products I use wouldn't be good for someone in a cold climate, it would be too harsh because they already live in a harsh environment. So they would need to find the right products for them. And the nice thing about TH-cam is we can share and talk about experiences and just get good ideas from each other. I love that. When I was a younger woman I never would have dreamed I would be able to talk to women from all over the world. It's an amazing time we live in. Thanks so very much!! Love Melissa
Melissa, I watch all your videos but still can't get how you have such a wonderful, beautiful skin, its glowing! And you are such a beautiful woman, greetings from Russia!
Oh thank you for commenting!!! I really appreciate the compliment. And Russia looks like such a beautiful country. I hope to be able to visit someday. thank you, Melissa
To learn to knit I got a knitting for kids book. It was right on my creative skills level!
Kathy Hegert what a good idea! What book did you get?
I remember talking with you about those washcloths four years ago!!!! I said, you needed to start a business and sell them! I can see now, that they are easy to make!! You look gorgeous in this video!! Have a fantastic weekend!!
I remember that Linda! We have known each other a long time haven't we? Yes, they are super simple to make. They can be knocked out in no time!!! Thanks and lots of love to you! Melissa
This was fun! Thank you, Melissa for demonstrating the wash cloth making, I’m going to try my hand at it. I stopped using my Clarisonic some time ago, am always looking for a gentle, yet thorough face cleanser. I’m SO happy that you share daily on instagram, I look forward to seeing you. I love you, and carry on!
Thank you so much, Cin!! Oh please try to make them. I'm anxious to hear how they turn out. I really like it for my face. I wipe very gently. aw, thank you and I love you to death! xoxox, Melissa
Melissa55 I’ve a feeling you’re going through answering comments....you MUST know this, I saw your answer pop up on my phone (while talking with my “TENN) daughter....you called me Cin.....I teared up right away, as only ONE other person in my life called me that all of the time, my precious niece Melissa (daughter of my only sister Carole, who tragically passed in a car accident when “Missy”was just 7 years old). My Melissa (Missy) passed two years ago this week, aged 50...in her sleep, had always been so healthy...well, when you said Cin..I swear I felt warm all over...makes you even more dear to me, I do love you!
I am so so sorry about the death of Missy. I know how hard it must have been on you. I tend to call the people I care about little nicknames, so it just came naturally to me. Love you!!! And thanks Melissa
Melissa55 ❤️❤️❤️ well, I’m honored! “Cin” is just fine! Love love 🙋🏼💜
I look forward to your Instagram stories every day!
awwwwww, thank you!!!!! You just made my day! xoxox, Melissa
I'm knitting the 10 stitch blanket right now - mindless for sure! But it's fun and goes pretty fast. I've knitted dozens of washcloths - Jim loves them for dishcloths and like you Melissa I've given away so many. I'm confused about direct messages - do you mean private messages? OK, I need to do more on instagram....Love ya..xoxo patti 🎀
Oh that is going to be so beautiful Patti. Don't they make the best dishcloths? And just throw them in hot water until they fall apart and knit some more. Yes, the private message folder has just gotten to be spam for me now. Wanting to know how my business portfolio is going. I don't have a portfolio for investing! lol. Many thanks and lots of love Melissa
You had the most amazing skin! I'm going to give knitting a try.
Oh gosh thank you, Elaine! You can do it with the knitting! Many thanks, Melissa
You're adorable. Love those earrings! Enjoyed my tea watching this! Hugs
Beth
aw, thanks, Beth!!! I think I'll go fix me a cup now too! lol Love ya, Melissa
I'm going to see if my knitting friends could knit me some, and then when my GF visits in the summer have her show me lol I need more personal direction.
I'm seriously considering retina as I'm approaching 49 and my fine lines are becoming less fine lol.
If you have a chance/see this, could you tell me does it help with the puffiness/bags under the eyes?
Thanks I enjoy your videos and so many good tips.
Hi Melissa!! I love your videos and I loved hearing what your skin care routine is!!
My mom knits these same washcloths. She is all the time making them because she can't keep me, my sister and brother plus the rest of the family in stock LOL I have tried to knit.....I don't find it to be as relaxing as you all say (I'm sure it's me!!)
I love your insta stories and love your videos as well!! Was this the video where you were talking about the curly Q hair?? LOLOL
~Hugs Kim
Hi beautiful Melissa⚘! Gorgeous in that red top! Your skin is just so beautiful! Your very dedicated to an excellent skin care regime!!Hah hah I have to learn to knit again, did years ago, I made a baby blanket, it turned out to be the size of a magic carpet lol!!So enjoyed your video as always!!! Xoxo❤❤❤
aw, thanks so much Miss Laura!!! I sure do appreciate it. Oh yes, you need to pick it up again! It's so relaxing. Hey magic carpets are good! lol Love and thanks, Melissa
Melissa55 ..hahahah yeah your right.... my magic carpet lol!Don't know how you find the time to do all you do, and still look gorgeous gorgeous!!! Big hugs XOXO ❤❤❤ Sending healing prayers for Dougs pre/post op surgery 🙏XOXO
Beautiful Melissa!! I wish I could knit!! Melissa do you think you could make some to sell to us? I’d buy some! Also which is the extra forte or reg to use am with the vitamin c? What do use after those two? Thank you ❤️
I also knit my own washcloths and use that same peaches and cream cotton yarn on the cone. Wal-mart carries it at a pretty good price.
You just can't beat the price of that cone cotton can you!!! lol Thanks so much! Melissa
I love your videos when it comes to your own personal skin care products you use and routine. You must be doing something right to look amazing at your age. Can you comment on how you keep firmness and volume on your face? What do you think has help keep your skin so firm and have good volume?
Oh Chris, I can't thank you enough for this. I don't know about the firmness and volume - I feel like it's sagging, but maybe the products I use? I do know if I use a Clarisonic or if I ever add moisturizer to my skin it sags to high heaven. So maybe using drying products keeps it firmer? My cheeks are a little fat cause I'm carrying some weight I'm trying to get off. I am working on it (as I eat some pizza. lol ) Lots of love! Melissa
Melissa55 I have a full face also and losing some weight. I want to keep skin looking firm.
Chris Harrison ehat about retin a? Probably that’s it
I was wondering if peptides does the firming?
Can peptides and retin a be mixed?
How I wish I could flick my yarn like you. I have thrown it for 51 years! I’ve tried to flick and it’s so hard to get the tension right. Oh! Please show everything you’ve knitted. Clothing and other stuff. Please!!
Would love to see the sweaters you have knit. I enjoy knitting as well but haven’t done it in a while. Love your wash cloths!
I haven't don't it in a while either. I used to show the sweaters I had knit, but I haven't knit any new ones so I have't shown any more. I really want to knit something this summer though. Thank you! Love, Melissa
Melissa I enjoyed this so much. I would love to learn how to knit. You have such beautiful youthful looking skin. You are such a sweet sincere person. Too bad we don't live closer to one another so we could hang out. Hope you have a blessed weekend. Take care.
I just really appreciate this. You really can learn to knit. There are wonderful teachers on TH-cam and it's a really easy stitch to do. I would love to hang out with you!!! Love and thanks, Melissa
I thought about making wash cloths..... uhh was that last year or so when you talked about them .... so I guess that I will think about it again HeeHee .....Love your videos ....Hugs ..... Shirlene
I KNOW you can make them Shirlene. Really you can. Find a good knitting tutorial and you will be flying on them. Thanks so much! Love, Melissa
That is so funny! I just took my second knitting class. My grandmother taught me when I was about 7, but I forgot how! Now I'm addicted. I love the idea of the washcloths. Do you know what the fiber content is of the yarn you use? I have to make some. Thanks as always for a fun and interesting video! BTW - love the red lace top.
I wish I could knit, but I can't, my mother in law tried to teach me once, well lets just say that didn't work out,lol,at all! I need some yoga for my mind! Love you! XOXO
lolol, awwww, I wish I lived near you. I'd have you clacking those needles in no time. Love you lots, Susan!!! xoxox, Melissa
i make my own as well, but I crochet them. I love them.
Oh that's terrific! I don't know how to crochet, but I think I'll learn someday. Switch it up! lol Many thanks, Melissa
