Oh my gosh, same boat with the dating situation. I need to be excited about someone to put the time in now. Also, something that I tried after Tara Michelle mentioned it in her vlogs is to do a video chat with the guy you're talking to first to see if you even have good chem and vibes. That tip saved me from what would have been a disastrous date, my gosh!
I completely agree. You should be only dating people you are excited about. If you’re not excited or don’t have a good feeling, it is 100% for a reason.!
I am not an OG I am the new kid on the block, but I immediately subscribe to your channel because your personality is so different from the rest of the vloggers. And your channel is very interesting chill and relaxing.
Hey Mel, I've been watching your videos for years and I grew up with you. You are really my favorite on TH-cam and motivate me again and again with your Vlogs. All the love from Germany ❤️
I’m an OG and I love watching ur videos. They bring me back to my teenage years. This one video of u sticks out to me with u wearing a white sweater w black hearts all over and ur long blonde hair and u sitting on the floor talking about ur products lol loveee
Ive been following you since I was like 18 or something and Im 32 now. It always feels like a comfort to watch your videos. I have a baby now and I love being a mama but sometimes I do miss the days when it was just me and my dog doing whatever we wanted. I feel like the right guy will find you not the other way around. Keep doing things you love. Sending so much love and happiness to you🫶🏻
I would give men you are not instantly attracted to a chance bc in my experience you don't know the chemistry until you meet - their voice, their mannerisms, their laugh, their views/beliefs etc.. Just the way a guy articulates something can alter your attraction. Be open with dating and don't have expectations. Just meet for a casual drink or coffee, get ready but don't waste too much time finding the perfect outfit etc... just a meet and greet lol
I really love your dating updates. I like how you keep it real and show how lots of times stuff in the dating world goes south. Please do more about dating and talk about specifics!!!
Question - after these guys ask you out and you agree to go, do you reach out yourself about the time or whatever? Or are you waiting for them to reach back out first? Because if you’re waiting for them, try taking the initiative first. Men can be so dumb. If I was interested at all, I didn’t play that game of waiting for the guy to reach out first, and it always worked out well for me.
Online dating can be challenging. Consider this: when you met men in real life, you didn't have a photo album or detailed personal profiles at your disposal. You connected with them, engaged in conversation, and may have found them appealing in person. The reality is that some individuals don't take flattering photos, or they make too much effort with them, making it difficult to assess people based on images. Additionally, reflect on your previous relationships-do you still feel attracted to those partners? Personally, I often find my attraction grows as I learn more about someone. Also, ponder the impact of your photos and profile. While you may think your pictures and information are impressive, consider how a truly great guy might react if he found something he misinterpreted or a photo that didn’t resonate with him due to a lack of context. These are important factors to contemplate.
Oh, Melissa! I also have watched Virgin River, I know that sequence with the muffins from Page Bakery!❤❤🎉 I'm glad to discover that we have the same taste in movies!❤
Thanks for sharing your health stuff! It’s comforting because I have a similar issue with elevated bilirubin and PCOS! Other stuff going on as well, but I find lab work etc scary so this is helping regulate my nervous system 🥰
Oohhh the not going out with someone if you're not attracted to is tricky, because physical attraction can grow once you get to know someone. Similar to when friends turn into partners.
I’ve been watching your videos since you used to work at dynamite and did your dynamite hauls, I love your channel, feels real, authentic and relatable, I also like seeing Tika 💕
omg I was subbed when you were skindeepbeautytips and that gray vneck from your back to school hairstyles vid had suuuuuch a hold on me in 8th grade!!! 😭 you were my fav youtuber and for some reason yt unsubbed me from your channel!! I was always subscribed to your backup channel (before it was the pod channel) and was like “I wonder what happened to her” and was devastated to know you had been posting the whole time 🙃🥲 definitely missed u from like 2015-2021 😭
My father-in-law had high cholesterol and after going fully plant-based it completely went away! Something to think about! I really enjoyed the video, thanks Melissa
Honestly, dating is not what it used to be. I remember when I was in my late 20s and early 30s.. now I am 42. Men were more approaching, more caring, more fun, and outgoing. They were more loving, strong minded., loyal and funny, more romantic, and had family values. You actually mattered to them, and they took every moment and time with you very seriously. And if they did something wrong, they would actually work on themselves to make it right. I am actually very happy I got to experience those moments. Cause nowadays it is very different. Most men are rude,disrespectful, obnoxious, annoying, depressed and boring, weak minded, and not fun at all. They are selfish all about themselves. And not loyal. Most have many options , you do something wrong, and they will be moving on to the next one. They don't like to commit to anything, and they are uncertain of what they really want. Appearance is everything now. Some care more about how their relationship looks to the outside eye rather than how they actually feel in it. Dating has lost it appeal for a long time. That is how I feel about it. If we compare to before and now.
First on the dating situation - I cannot STAND flaky people. I understand cancelling either a valid reason or an illness, but my biggest pet peeve is wasting peoples time - literally the one currency you cannot generate more of - and that’s exactly what these guys are doing. Uff I’m so sorry! Second - I’m shocked you were able to bring back your own sample from home! Here in the US it’s so lock and key - like no purse, coat even - just you in that bathroom locked away from any chance of swapping it for someone else’s. And that’s drug testing or anything else! I hope you can get it sorted soon and get back to your best life ❤
Hi Mel! We talked a while ago about PCOS and supplements but about 5 years before I was diagnosed with PCOS I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. I’d like to know more about how you’re going to navigate these upcoming health changes in a holistic way!! ❤
New subscriber here. I thought I was subscribed!!! I've watched a few of your videos. Well, I'm subscribed now. Sending healing vibes your way. Peace 🕊️
Hi. I also went through the high bilirubin while everything else was normal. I am in shape and the PCP told me it was probably nothing. I ended up going down the rabbit hole and got a Hidascan and an MRE. You clearly care a ton about your health, so it might be worth checking into those. Can't trust blood tests to tell you the whole story of underlying stuff, they just more or less give you a quick general overview.
Hi Melissa I love all your videos and I have been watching you for about 10 years now. I pray you get your health figured out and everything goes well. Can I asked where you got your red Mac cover for your laptop ?
Loved this video!!!! Can you share the recipe for the green sauce you put on your chicken and broccoli?! Looks so delicious. Also, in regard to your health, as a nursing student, my advice to you is to be your own biggest advocate for your health. Do as much research as you can as it relates to your situation and seek out a functional medicine doctor. A functional medicine doctor will look at you holistically and help you better than a traditional doctor who will send you for bloodwork after bloodwork with no real answers on how to cure yourself. Good luck! ❤
What is your lip combo in the beginning of the video when you’re in your car?? Around 1:30 min in. So pretty! Love the vlog as always! Excited to watch the new series!
Ugh idk girl - so relatable. My family thinks attraction grows over time. My friends say it has to be immediate. Personally, I've dated men for MONTHS without ever developing a romantic spark & it felt like wasting both of our time. Maybe it works for some people who meet organically...but I can say for myself, it has never ever happened that way. And I've given dozens of men a "chance" when I wasn't physically attracted.
Love watching your vlogs! Is your bloodwork done through a naturopath or a GP? Is there a naturopath you can recommend in the lower mainland? I have many of the same things you mentioned and I find it really hard to get my doctor to take me seriously, but your doctor sounds really proactive which is great! Hope your week is going great ❤
I use Telus heath virtual consults. I've found a few really nice female drs. through them that have been helpful and have ordered me tests :) I do find you have to go to a naturopath for certain ones, dependant on the situation.
I have PCOS and have similar symptoms - elevated cholesterol level and fatty liver - as well. I am little concerned that this may lead to diabetes 😢 Thank you for sharing PCOS information!
I feel like I’m having the same issues with the attraction with online dating. I get very overwhelmed bc I do get alot of likes/matches, but very very few do I find attractive based off photos. I think part of it is being attracted to more than just appearances, so basing who I will like off photos just hasn’t been successful for me. I am suprised you only had 4 dates last year, I take a lot of breaks too, do you always wait for the guy to ask you on a date? I am the type where I don’t want to message back and forth for more than a few days, at that point if they don’t ask me out and we are having a good or decent convo I will ask them out so I can move on if we aren’t going to actually meet up.
I know you probably don't want any advice about breakouts, but I read that some people have had some acne problems after starting bone broth and certain people have the opposite reaction to too much collagen. Anyway, I know my LED face mask has helped improve my skin so much, can't imagine being without it now! You look beautiful all the time, love the length of your hair, too!
Hey Melissa! I struggled with elevated bilirubin, jaundice-type symptoms, PCOS etc. Highly recommend Medical Medium's book "Liver Rescue" I owe my life to his information. Hope you give it a chance 🍎
If he asks you out and doesn’t make plans right away you should cancel on him. There is no point making you wait other than he has several options. And for all guys reading this: make plans before asking out! Or just talk about your intentions. Men know exactly if they wanna hook up or want something serious
I highly recommend you incorporate more fatty meat in your diet. It's probably related to anemia and/or gallbladder issues. This means skip the low fat (animal fat) lean foods. Much more meat, eggs, dairy. You body desperately needs these things! Meat, fat, and eggs ARE very good for human beings.
Love the new era daily diaries!
Oh my gosh, same boat with the dating situation. I need to be excited about someone to put the time in now. Also, something that I tried after Tara Michelle mentioned it in her vlogs is to do a video chat with the guy you're talking to first to see if you even have good chem and vibes.

I think this is a fantastic idea!
Oooh I love this idea!!

We get homemade organic applesauce from a local farm. It's also that pink colour and they told us it's because they keep the peel on.
Makes sense :) thanks!
I hope you find love this year wirh a great guy...i loved this video..sooo peaceful ❤❤
I’m an OG, back when you lived with Stephen I think. ❤
Jenny and Steven :)
Me too! I learned how to make “the mixture” from you!
LOVE the longer videos!!!

Great video. Thank you!!

hey melissa, i also have pcos and was curious what made you suspect it might be related to your liver? thanks so much
Not to be nosey what happened to Carla?
Never go out with someone you are not excited to meet up with and are not attracted to
Amo que tenga traducción en voz en español❤️

I am 100% a flaky person/friend. I have multiple chronic illnesses and you just never know what might happen 🤷🏻♀️
Your baby’s soooo cute
I "ran" when I saw dating updates.
You have a cute dog, Melissa! Does she sleep with you when you are just in the house, or do you just cuddle, play and feed her?
جميل ❤
I don’t get it…you’re perfect! I would date you❤
very beautiful and simple girl
