Thank you very much for sharing your beauty secrets. You are absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy that you are doing well after your surgeries. We love you too!❤❤
I have always wanted to knit. Nothing big I would just like to be able to do scarfs and maybe a beanie and like no exfoliating washcloths like you did I hope it's not too late for me to learn to knit. ❤
Melissa, I think we can all agree that NO video of yours could ever be boring! Personally, I’ve always wished you would do a knitting video for your washcloths 🥰 I hope you do it!
@@Melissa55My mother and I have both been knitting them since you showed them years ago! I use them for everything- so your influence has made it to Ireland 😊
You look good with your hair like that. You look so much younger and fresh. I can’t wait for you to teach us how to knit those face wash cloths. I’ve been waiting and wishing it since you raved about it. Thank you! Praying for your quick recovery and good health. God bless!
aw, thank you!!! I am sorting out my knitting. I hope I do an okay job trying to show them. They're really easy and if you mess up it doesn't matter, use them anyway. No one else will see them. Thank you so much Carol!
As so many others have commented, you look younger, fresher and more in tune with today’s more natural and casual hair styles in this video. You are drop dead gorgeous for any age-you do not need the “big hair” of the past. ❤
I'm so sorry that you had to go through breast reconstruction and breast cancer. I just started HRT and was scared to as my Mum, Aunt and grandmother had breast cancer. My hot flashes were so bad, I'm starting to feel relief already with the HRT and crossed fingers that all goes well. Best to you! xo from Toronto
I totally agree! Even though she doesn’t look her age, anyway, she looks even YOUNGER with her hair straighter!!!!🩷🩷🩷 Would love to see her do a GRWM with the eye makeup she has on in this video! 😊
Melissa, it’s a losing battle. You have great genetics. We are about the same age. I am wrinkled all over. Like my mother was. Whatever fat is on my body is very soft. Was when I was a kid. I never took hormones. My mother took DES; I didn’t want any extra risk of cancer. Let’s age as nature intended. We are privileged to still be alive. Many don’t get here.
Always a pleasure to spend time with you, Melissa. So happy you love your Omnilux. I've decreased the amount of products I use because of the improvement in my skin, in fact I'm working on a video. There is something special about the Mary Kay cream. I am going to check out the Havaianas. Love you, my friend...MaryEllen
aw, thank you, ME. I just love LED therapy. It really has made a difference in my skin. I love you dearly and I hope this weekend will be full of many blessings!
What is your face pops up on my TH-cam subscription list, I always think to myself… Hot dog it’s Melissa! This was so good, I love spending time with you here, my friend. I’m really going to look into the light therapy for my face, thank you for letting us know how much you love it! I know I have shared with you, that I’ve been having hot flashes every day, several times a day for 20 years! I sure hope that yours leave and settle down and don’t come back..🙏🏻 you know I love you!
Melissa, I have told you many times, you are just a joy to watch. I’ve taken away many great tips and learned new things from you. However, your charming personality is what keeps me coming back for more. I just love you girl! ❤
Thanks Melissa for showing all of your favorite products and I think I want to try that red light on my face! You look wonderful! Happy Easter to you and yours!😊🐣
Dear Melissa, I have never formally written to thank you for all the years you have been reaching out on-line and for being the gracious, honest and transparent woman and teacher that you are for me, and for so many of us women. I have watched you for nearly 10 years now, and you have been my go to for style, for products, for inspiration. I am 60 years old now, and have my fair share of health challenges which continue to make it hard to be in this body i have been born with, but one thing i do have, in a large part thanks to you, is good facial skin! I am so filled with gratitude for you being 'part of my life'. Thank you for everything. You bring smiles, hope and happiness. God BlessX
Hi Melissa, I too am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 2018 with hormone positive (ER & PR positive) breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy and was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. I prefer to use a natural deodorant as well. But, the Lavanila contains tea tree which is shown to be very estrogenic and is an oil that we shouldn't probably use with our type of breast cancer history. Lavender and tea tree should be avoided. I really like to use Salt and Stone deodorant and find it very effective and smells great. May God bless you on your breast cancer journey.
I appreciate it, Nancy. I'm going through my knitting and trying to remember the size and number of stitches I used!!! It really is a simple way to do a washcloth. Thank you!
Wow Melissa! You look like you’ve reverse aged about 10 years! I LOVE your hair like this. 💜 I think it’s a much younger looking style. But your makeup is equally as beautiful in this video. Could you do a GRWM using exactly what you did in this video. I would love to see it. Your foundation looks flawless! So glad you’re feeling better! 🥰💜
So many products you mentioned that I use! I wish I could keep my Haviana's by the door but our dog (still in the puppy phase) chews shoes! Speaking of dogs, it was great to see Oliver. I hope that you are doing well. ♥ Love Elle
Please show us how to knit the cloths. I would love to know how. Also, tell us exactly what kind of yarn you use. You have been a superstar during your cancer surgeries.
I like the straight hair in the video. I like most of your looks but you can absolutely rock the straight look if you want to let it go, in a hurry or just want that look. I’m not kidding it looks good!
I gotta try that Glytone! I totally love my red light therapy too. If I go a few days without using it, I notice a difference. Using it every day makes my skin look so much better, I almost can't believe it!
Thanks, Heather. I am so happy! I feel so blessed that the cancer journey is over at least for now. I will always worry that it will come back but I'm doing the very best I can to prevent that and that's all I can do. I am determined to really enjoy life. So thank you!
Melissa you are Never boring - ever. I can't wait to get the Mary Kay for my feet - I forgot about MK because I haven't used it in so many years - I use to love their scents so much. I Love the eyebrow Benefit pencil too - used it for a long time. I also want to get the deodorant sounds healthier to me. I use the exfoliating gloves - bought them a long time ago on your suggestion and I just love them- I order them in bulk. I want to also get the floss you use - I have a problem with floss and this one sounds and looks great. Please do a video with knitting the washcloths - I would love to know how. I crochet - I've never tried to knit but I think I would really enjoy it. See this was an excellent video! I'm getting things I hadn't thought of myself haha - but it's for things I really want to try. I'm going right back to watch this again to get it all down. Your the best gf you've never steered me wrong on any products you've talked about. I hope your doing well - you look fantastic! I realize this is a crazy long reply but I wanted you to know how excited I am to get several things you like as well. I just love you!! Take care my lovely friend - xoxo Deb :-)
Melissa, its so good seeing your beautiful face!!! I would love to see how you knit the face cloths. Continued prayers for your recovery and healing. ❤
I bought the dr gross mask for my red light therapy and I can attest that it has made a difference in my skin. It is something that will be a staple in my skin care regimen.
Does it get warm on your skin? Have you consulted your dermatologist to see if it is okay to use? I’m hearing that if you take prescription retin A , you get brown spots.
Thank you for your video! Could you please tell us if you use retin a all year long or do you not use it in the summers? You are wonderful and I truly look forward to your videos!
With you darling Melissa with the Retin-A. Started in my early 20s and was told to never stop using it. Great advice. A big yes to Vitamin C serum. I need to see if I can use red light therapy. I do use self tanners in the summer, but it does cling to the darn age spots. Thank you for sharing your ride or die products. Love you lots. Have a great weekend. ❤❤🥰
You're a voice of reason, Melissa. As you mentioned things, I found myself nodding along as I expected most of them. I admire that about you! You have found what works for you & you aren't on the hunt every other month for the next best thing. My theory is that many women don't use a product long enough to let it do its job; they/*we*,lol, just get entranced trying the next thing. Your products work for you! Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
Jackie you are so sweet! And over the many years we have known each other you have always been such a positive force in my life. I am truly grateful. Yes, you have to use something for three months to know if it will work and honestly, sometimes things look much worse before they look better. Thank you, my friend. Love, Melissa
Thank you so much Melissa You've been through so much and yet you still will get up and post videos for us because you're so loyal‼️ I think every one of us loves everything you show I watched you with Havana's and I Love those the Urban decay naked heat palette 🎨 Loved it for years God bless you and thank you for putting up another Great video for us and I agree with everyone else You look like you're in your 40s God bless we all love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are such a sweetheart, Rose. You really are. Oh I love that UD Palette, too and I know it looks stunning with your beautiful eyes. I hope this is such a blessed weekend for you. Much love to you and thanks, Melissa
@@Melissa55 oh Melissa you're the sweetheart it's not me ‼️ Thank you for saying that You've been through a lot lately I swear you're so brave you have no idea they would have had to put me to sleep before they put me in your car 💯 I have such bad panic attacks and I haven't even left my house in 4 months You don't know how brave you are you fight girl for your husband for your children for your grandchildren You are a born fighter in God's eyes 🙏and he's helping you fight God bless you You need to rest take a lot of naps I spend half the day in bed I think mine's because I'm so old lol ‼️Love you my sweet friend please please rest 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ And God bless you 🙏
I loved your favorites, Melissa! I appreciated your adding in some very practical items as well. You look so youthful, so I was definitely taking notes!! I was wondering how often do you use your omnilux mask? I have one too (a different brand) and was just wondering how often I should use it.
Enjoyed hearing what your favs are. I want one of the Omnilux so bad and saving up for that. Your hair always looks good but I know what you mean I like big hair too. XO
"I'm an old lady" 😂🤣🤣 OMG, Melissa, I can only wish and pray that I look as stunning and youthful when I get to your age.. you look incredible. God bless you and your loved ones. You are a huge inspiration!
Love your recommendations. As a former at home consultant for The Body Shop, it’s heartbreaking that they are bankrupt or restructuring or whatever. So stock up from the stores that are still open while you can. I even met Dame Anita Roddick at a convention and she was sick a rock solid and personable businesswoman. RIP.
Oh that really hurts me for them. Did you really meet her? That is amazing. I love those exfoliating gloves. I'm going to stock up for sure. That last forever, too. Thank you!
@@Melissa55 Yes. She was so personable. Even suggested to one lady to stop smoking. She told me to stay in the activism game. I have (a little). I was sad when she died shortly after selling to L’Oreal. What a pioneer!
I’m. 69 now and love learning about new products! Learned so much from this video! I’m finally embracing my grey hair…what a journey…6 months but staying the course! I’m very petite..5’ 100 pounds…striving to dress and use makeup fitting for my size and age!!! It’s daunting at times! Have been learning to knit for a year so want to make those wash cloths!!!
I love these types of videos, love seeing everyone's favorites! Are you familiar with the Alpha Skin Care Revitalizing Body Lotion? It also has glycolic acid & is a little less expensive.
Hi Melissa! Your hair looks great! I i always enjoy seeing your favorite products. I’m looking forward to your washcloth knitting video. I’d love to learn to knit. Have a wonderful weekend 💕🌸☀️
aw, thank you, Dawn!!! I just have been out of the loop a bit so have not caught up with you, so going to watch your latest video now. Take care and thanks!
Melissa, I really enjoy these videos. Many of the products you’ve shared I’ve bought and continue to use from some of your videos from years ago. You’re always spot on with what you use and I have never been disappointed with any of your recommendations. Thank you for being so transparent with us. It’s quite rare on YT for our age group. Sincerely, Robin ❤️
Hello, Melissa, your looking well and I love the highlights. I plan to do mine in April for a nice spring fresh up. I have seen all your favorites many times over the years and you are definitely loyal to them. The weather has been so nice and warm here in N.Y. and our winter was mild with only 7.7 inches total. I feel bad for the folks in Colorado. It was nice to see Oliver wandering around in the background. Have a good week!
Thank you for sharing the dental floss ! I have a permanent retainer and it is a pain to use those threaders! You’re not boring! And I love your hair! ❤
I love all of your "must haves" and I have a few as well. Sometimes you just can't beat the older products that have been out a while. That tooth threader I have been using for years for my implants and you can't beat it! Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!
I know you like tour hair with a little puff but I like it this way too. I also like you sharing the products that you like. May have to try some. Prayers for good healing.

Melissa, I have told you many times, you are just a joy to watch. I’ve taken away many great tips and learned new things from you. However, your charming personality is what keeps me coming back for more. I just love you girl! ❤
You turned me on to Glytone years ago and I have never gone back to anything else❤❤❤❤thank you
Thanks Melissa for showing all of your favorite products and I think I want to try that red light on my face! You look wonderful! Happy Easter to you and yours!😊🐣
I actually love your hair like this! Looks very youthful! 😊
Dear Melissa, I have never formally written to thank you for all the years you have been reaching out on-line and for being the gracious, honest and transparent woman and teacher that you are for me, and for so many of us women. I have watched you for nearly 10 years now, and you have been my go to for style, for products, for inspiration. I am 60 years old now, and have my fair share of health challenges which continue to make it hard to be in this body i have been born with, but one thing i do have, in a large part thanks to you, is good facial skin! I am so filled with gratitude for you being 'part of my life'. Thank you for everything. You bring smiles, hope and happiness. God BlessX
Yes- please show us how to knit the wash clothes with kinks to the supplies please! :)
That dog in and out of the background kills me! 😂 You’re looking spectacular, Melissa. Keep well.❤
Thank you!!! Yes, Oliver loves to see what's going on. I Sure do appreciate this!!! Much love, Melissa
Lovely to see you Melissa! You look fantastic! Your not an old lady! You look in your 40's just beautiful! Love you lots girl!!🌹💋❤❤❤
aw, you're so sweet. Girl, I'm totally an old lady, but I do feel young! So I guess that's all that matters. Love you and thanks!
Melissa you are such an inspiration and a joy to watch! Praying for you. Thank you for making your videos for us
God bless you Melissa, you look beautiful ❤
Hi Melissa, I too am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 2018 with hormone positive (ER & PR positive) breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy and was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. I prefer to use a natural deodorant as well. But, the Lavanila contains tea tree which is shown to be very estrogenic and is an oil that we shouldn't probably use with our type of breast cancer history. Lavender and tea tree should be avoided. I really like to use Salt and Stone deodorant and find it very effective and smells great. May God bless you on your breast cancer journey.
I love your hair like this!
Retin-A for 37 years! Wow! Thanks for the video ❤
I would love a knitting video showing how you make your washcloths.
Same here:)!
Same!
I appreciate it, Nancy. I'm going through my knitting and trying to remember the size and number of stitches I used!!! It really is a simple way to do a washcloth. Thank you!
Wow Melissa! You look like you’ve reverse aged about 10 years! I LOVE your hair like this. 💜 I think it’s a much younger looking style. But your makeup is equally as beautiful in this video. Could you do a GRWM using exactly what you did in this video. I would love to see it. Your foundation looks flawless! So glad you’re feeling better! 🥰💜
Melissa, Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous this way. I mean you look so young with this style. Wow!!!
So many products you mentioned that I use! I wish I could keep my Haviana's by the door but our dog (still in the puppy phase) chews shoes! Speaking of dogs, it was great to see Oliver. I hope that you are doing well. ♥ Love Elle
I always love a dog cameo.
Please show us how to knit the cloths. I would love to know how. Also, tell us exactly what kind of yarn you use. You have been a superstar during your cancer surgeries.
I love your skin!! you are glowing girl!!! So beautiful Sweet Melissa!! xoxo
Stay confident in your choices and your followers. We are loyal and appreciative. Thank you for this fantastic video! Continued healing and hope. ❤
That is such a lovely thought. Thank you so much for that boost. It means a lot to me. Much love!!!!!
I like the straight hair in the video. I like most of your looks but you can absolutely rock the straight look if you want to let it go, in a hurry or just want that look. I’m not kidding it looks good!
Love all your posts, Melissa! Yes...we would love it if you could show us how to knit the wash cloths. Please show for beginners, like me!
I gotta try that Glytone! I totally love my red light therapy too. If I go a few days without using it, I notice a difference. Using it every day makes my skin look so much better, I almost can't believe it!
Oh Isn't the red light therapy amazing? Yes, If I go more that a couple of days my skin just doesn't look as nice. I love it. Than you and much love!
Your hair looks wonderful! And you seem even more happy than usual and that is a lot of happy!
Thanks, Heather. I am so happy! I feel so blessed that the cancer journey is over at least for now. I will always worry that it will come back but I'm doing the very best I can to prevent that and that's all I can do. I am determined to really enjoy life. So thank you!
One of your very best videos!
thank you beautiful Melissa.
Melissa you are Never boring - ever. I can't wait to get the Mary Kay for my feet - I forgot about MK because I haven't used it in so many years - I use to love their scents so much. I Love the eyebrow Benefit pencil too - used it for a long time. I also want to get the deodorant sounds healthier to me. I use the exfoliating gloves - bought them a long time ago on your suggestion and I just love them- I order them in bulk. I want to also get the floss you use - I have a problem with floss and this one sounds and looks great. Please do a video with knitting the washcloths - I would love to know how. I crochet - I've never tried to knit but I think I would really enjoy it. See this was an excellent video! I'm getting things I hadn't thought of myself haha - but it's for things I really want to try. I'm going right back to watch this again to get it all down. Your the best gf you've never steered me wrong on any products you've talked about. I hope your doing well - you look fantastic! I realize this is a crazy long reply but I wanted you to know how excited I am to get several things you like as well. I just love you!! Take care my lovely friend - xoxo Deb :-)
You look AMAZING!
Thank you for this video!
Enjoyed this SO much!!❤
Thank you! You are a doll!
I have all three pieces of the Omnilux red light… and it is truly amazing… people think I have had procedures but had none!❤
How long have you owned yours? Is it red light and infrared? What made you pick Omnilux over Equinox brand?
What improvements have you seen? I have a red light panel but I don't see any results, so I stopped using it.
Melissa, its so good seeing your beautiful face!!! I would love to see how you knit the face cloths. Continued prayers for your recovery and healing. ❤
Thank you so very much, Diane!!! I sure appreciate it so very much. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
Yes to the knitting video!! That would’ve so fun and helpful!!
Yes...would love to know how to make the washcloths
You are absolutely precious!
I loved this video. Not boring at all😊
You are so kind. Thank you!
Yes, please do a video on your knitted cloths!!!
I love your straight hair!!! ❤
I bought the dr gross mask for my red light therapy and I can attest that it has made a difference in my skin. It is something that will be a staple in my skin care regimen.
Does it get warm on your skin? Have you consulted your dermatologist to see if it is okay to use? I’m hearing that if you take prescription retin A , you get brown spots.
I'd be interested to see how you knit your wash cloths and what type of yarn you use 🧶
Thanks for the floss recommendation. I use the same type of product, but a different brand that was more expensive.
I just ordered the glytone lotion, hope it works as well for me as it has for you!
Hi Melissa Yes please for the washcloth knitting video. Thank you have a great weekend
Thank you for your video! Could you please tell us if you use retin a all year long or do you not use it in the summers? You are wonderful and I truly look forward to your videos!
With you darling Melissa with the Retin-A. Started in my early 20s and was told to never stop using it. Great advice. A big yes to Vitamin C serum.
I need to see if I can use red light therapy.
I do use self tanners in the summer, but it does cling to the darn age spots.
Thank you for sharing your ride or die products. Love you lots. Have a great weekend. ❤❤🥰
You're a voice of reason, Melissa. As you mentioned things, I found myself nodding along as I expected most of them. I admire that about you! You have found what works for you & you aren't on the hunt every other month for the next best thing. My theory is that many women don't use a product long enough to let it do its job; they/*we*,lol, just get entranced trying the next thing. Your products work for you! Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
Jackie you are so sweet! And over the many years we have known each other you have always been such a positive force in my life. I am truly grateful. Yes, you have to use something for three months to know if it will work and honestly, sometimes things look much worse before they look better. Thank you, my friend. Love, Melissa
Thank you so much Melissa You've been through so much and yet you still will get up and post videos for us because you're so loyal‼️ I think every one of us loves everything you show I watched you with Havana's and I Love those the Urban decay naked heat palette 🎨 Loved it for years God bless you and thank you for putting up another Great video for us and I agree with everyone else You look like you're in your 40s God bless we all love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are such a sweetheart, Rose. You really are. Oh I love that UD Palette, too and I know it looks stunning with your beautiful eyes. I hope this is such a blessed weekend for you. Much love to you and thanks, Melissa
@@Melissa55 oh Melissa you're the sweetheart it's not me ‼️ Thank you for saying that You've been through a lot lately I swear you're so brave you have no idea they would have had to put me to sleep before they put me in your car 💯 I have such bad panic attacks and I haven't even left my house in 4 months You don't know how brave you are you fight girl for your husband for your children for your grandchildren You are a born fighter in God's eyes 🙏and he's helping you fight God bless you You need to rest take a lot of naps I spend half the day in bed I think mine's because I'm so old lol ‼️Love you my sweet friend please please rest 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ And God bless you 🙏
I loved your favorites, Melissa! I appreciated your adding in some very practical items as well. You look so youthful, so I was definitely taking notes!! I was wondering how often do you use your omnilux mask? I have one too (a different brand) and was just wondering how often I should use it.
Love your videos Melissa👍 Would be great to see a knitting video on the washcloth
Enjoyed hearing what your favs are. I want one of the Omnilux so bad and saving up for that. Your hair always looks good but I know what you mean I like big hair too. XO
"I'm an old lady" 😂🤣🤣 OMG, Melissa, I can only wish and pray that I look as stunning and youthful when I get to your age.. you look incredible. God bless you and your loved ones. You are a huge inspiration!
Loved seeing what you buy over and over. ❤❤❤❤😊
Oh thank you!!! I was afraid it would be too boring. lol. I sure appreciate it.
Love your recommendations. As a former at home consultant for The Body Shop, it’s heartbreaking that they are bankrupt or restructuring or whatever. So stock up from the stores that are still open while you can. I even met Dame Anita Roddick at a convention and she was sick a rock solid and personable businesswoman. RIP.
Very sad! The Body Shop is a Canadian company. I’m aware that they filed bankruptcy here in Canada.
Oh that really hurts me for them. Did you really meet her? That is amazing. I love those exfoliating gloves. I'm going to stock up for sure. That last forever, too. Thank you!
@@TheBohemianStyle So sad.
@@Melissa55 Yes. She was so personable. Even suggested to one lady to stop smoking. She told me to stay in the activism game. I have (a little). I was sad when she died shortly after selling to L’Oreal. What a pioneer!
I’m. 69 now and love learning about new products! Learned so much from this video! I’m finally embracing my grey hair…what a journey…6 months but staying the course! I’m very petite..5’ 100 pounds…striving to dress and use makeup fitting for my size and age!!! It’s daunting at times! Have been learning to knit for a year so want to make those wash cloths!!!
I looove that floss! Life changing for sure!
Glad to see you’re doing well. 😊
I tried the shiseido facial cleanser and I love it! You’re right it’s just enough,not greasy removes makeup easily with no residue left behind. ❤
I love Shiseido cleansers! My daughter in-laws mother told me to use their cleansers years ago and she was right! Thank you!
Another great video! I never once thought your hair was flat!! It always looks good!
I bought the same red light therapy that you have,!! Love it so far!!
What made you buy this brand over other ones? I’m shopping for one and I don’t know what brand to get.
Great video!! I love the threaded floss too. Prayers for your continued good health!!
You are such a doll, and a true Inspiration! Thank You😘🫂
Beautiful Melissa!!💗Have a wonderful weekend🌸
I love these types of videos, love seeing everyone's favorites! Are you familiar with the Alpha Skin Care Revitalizing Body Lotion? It also has glycolic acid & is a little less expensive.
Good seeing you today and your go to products. You're always beautiful.
Hi Melissa! Your hair looks great! I i always enjoy seeing your favorite products. I’m looking forward to your washcloth knitting video. I’d love to learn to knit. Have a wonderful weekend 💕🌸☀️
aw, thank you, Dawn!!! I just have been out of the loop a bit so have not caught up with you, so going to watch your latest video now. Take care and thanks!
I knit too & Ive knitted washcloths too but I’d like for you to do a video & let us know the size needles you’re using. Thank you.
Wow your hair on a "bad" hair day looks better than mine freshly washed 😂
You look amazing ❤
Melissa, I really enjoy these videos. Many of the products you’ve shared I’ve bought and continue to use from some of your videos from years ago. You’re always spot on with what you use and I have never been disappointed with any of your recommendations. Thank you for being so transparent with us. It’s quite rare on YT for our age group. Sincerely, Robin ❤️
awwwwwwww, thank you so very much for this Robin. Girl, you made me smile and made my day. Thank you! Much love!
Thanks for sharing - keep smiling Melissa❤!
Love seeing your favorites and so glad you are doing well. Always excited to see a notification from you. I would love a knitting tutorial
I sure appreciate it!
Happy Friday Melissa!! I love my omnilux and retin a I’m going on my 16 year of continual use 🙌🏼🙌🏼💕
Thanks for this Melissa! I first found you by searching Retin-A on youtube and boy oh boy am I ever glad I did find you. You're a treasure!
I love your videos as. Woman in her 60s . You are a breath of fresh air . Love your advice
Hello, Melissa, your looking well and I love the highlights. I plan to do mine in April for a nice spring fresh up. I have seen all your favorites many times over the years and you are definitely loyal to them. The weather has been so nice and warm here in N.Y. and our winter was mild with only 7.7 inches total. I feel bad for the folks in Colorado. It was nice to see Oliver wandering around in the background. Have a good week!
Thank you for this ! You look fantastic !
You are looking for Melissa. And. Your energy and positive attitude am sure contributes to the way you look. Blessings 😊
Thank you for sharing the dental floss ! I have a permanent retainer and it is a pain to use those threaders! You’re not boring! And I love your hair! ❤
Retired dental hygienist here, and super floss is awesome. Used it for years in my office and hubs uses it for his bridge as well. Great stuff!
@@StarsHollow214 It's amazing! Honestly, it's the difference with me flossing regularly!
I love that floss. It just makes it so much easier to floss. Best thing invented in a long time!
Lovely to see you looking and feeling well. Could you say how often you use your mask on your face and also your neck. Continued good health 🙏
OMG Melissa, you were talking to me!!😥 I appreciate the wake up call...thank you🙏🏽💖
I do not know which vitamin C serum is actually good, would you mind sharing which one you are using, please? Thanks!
I noticed your hair yet you look absolutely beautiful. Your skin is glowing.
I love all of your "must haves" and I have a few as well. Sometimes you just can't beat the older products that have been out a while. That tooth threader I have been using for years for my implants and you can't beat it! Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!
I love that cleanser also. I use the Shisheido brush with it. Have you tried the brush?
I know you like tour hair with a little puff but I like it this way too. I also like you sharing the products that you like. May have to try some. Prayers for good healing.
Melissa! You look absolutely beautiful! You are getting younger each day! Great skin care recommendations.
