That is marvelous Susan. You can look back on so many different memories. I really want to start that and I wish I had when I was younger. I really appreciate you. Take care.♥️♥️♥️
@@Melissa55 When I look back on what I wrote at 25 it was about 3 things....my little son, my figure and money...I was about as deep as an ashtray. I so appreciate you!
Hi Melissa ! I kept a journal through my illness & it truly helped myself & so many others! I alway's go back to it for other's who ask question's about remission etc ! I am thinking about writing a book as I have so much time during the winter here ! Not for profit but to help other's! We tend to watch movies in the fall & winter as we get snowed in up here ! Thank you for sharing & keeping me inspired!
I totally agree. I wish I had been more grateful when I was in my 20s but luckily I had ab Aunt a lot like your Uncle so by my 30’s I became hugely grateful daily.
Always love seeing your favorite products and listening to your favorite tv shows. Most I have never heard of but I still enjoying listening to you talk about them. Have a great weekend Melissa. Xoxo 😘
I love this idea regarding the daily journaling of every day life. I’m going to start doing this! It’s never too late. Thanks so much and you look gorgeous as usual!❤️
Hi Melissa, I absolutely enjoyed your Favorites video! I love listening to you! You look amazing! Thank you so much for your video! Take good care!!! 🧡
It is obvious you enjoy to write in the journal very much! Brings a big smile on your face ;) You try the Marlene Dietrich style trousers. It will suit you very well. No jeans, but thin viscose fabric, possibly with a print. I myself adore the paisley print. They are so comfortable. And look very stylish/classy.
I too just watched a few of her posts. The one where she's trying to be sexy eating the french fries cracked me up. Had to show my husband and we were both laughing so hard when she's eating the hot fries ❤💚💜💙💛
You look so beautiful, I mean you ALWAYS are so beautiful, but wow does AUTUMN agree with you! I look forward to Fall every year and I look forward to seeing you, bc you're such a part of Fall beauty! Seriously! And I mean, your voice, the way you talk to everything, to include of course, your clothes, hair and makeup choices. 🍊🌞🧡
Hi Melissa , i have curly hair like you and i love your hair here ! It`s pretty strait as well . Would you consider doing a vid on how you did this style of curly please . Always love to see how other women handle they`re curly hair for busy days. Love your channel.
Thanks for sharing your favorites! I cherish ordinary days because you never know what tomorrow holds. Writing about your day is a great idea. Take care friend. God bless you. ❤️
Oh my gosh. I just listened to all the first season of Dr. Death podcast. Never heard of that doctor before today that I am watching tour videos. Thank youuu
I love the idea that you’re going to do it on your birthday. It was so interesting to know everything that my uncle had saved. And you can ask him when somebody’s birthday was and he knew because he kept a whole running journal of that too. It was fascinating. Many thanks.
I love your videos and most always trust your judgement on makeup etc. I have been on the great mascara search since Dior discontinued one in their line that I loved. I have found Wander mascara to be one of the best and have reordered over and over. I’d like your opinion and this may be a line you’d be interested in because they also have a stick foundation that I like a lot . Thanks for all the information you share. Hugs to you and your family.
You look beautiful in orange. Thank you for sharing your favorite TV shows. I love crime dramas. We don’t have Peacock or BritBox, but what a good idea to purchase for 30 days. I think I’ll try that. I love hearing about what other women my age are watching. 💕💕💕
I love journaling too, Melissa. I journal almost every day, with five things I am grateful for and a scripture of some sort. It keeps me in a better mindset and in my Bible. I absolutely love your hair and make up and that orange color on you. Thank you for all the favorites this month.
Hi Melissa, I love your makeup look today,and your skin looks great. I have a hack to share for your blush. I’ve had the same blush for quite awhile and to refresh it I take a metal nail file and gently shave off the very top. I use the side of the file, not the point. You can use any item that you have that’s similar. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much!
Hi beautiful Melissa . Ty for sharing your favorites. I need to start journaling too !!! Love the jeans on you and your lipstick too:) take care and stay safe and healthy ❤️😘🌹💄💖❣️🥰xoxo
Perfect timing! I'm in the process of stripping paint from multiple hallway doors and cabinets. I'm currently experimenting with eco-friendly paint strippers. Would love to know of your successes. methods, and product preferences. Good Luck:)
The daily journaling...my grandmother did that. I have one of hers from when my father was a child, which was almost 90 years ago. The everyday things she would write about. Just things like "It snowed today." "Eugene and I went to preachin' tonight." "Got a letter from Junior today." I have tried to journal multiple times, but I never stick with it. I am nearly 70 years old so my time to journal is growing short. I think I will put a journal on my bedside table, and when I get in bed at night to read a little before going to sleep, I will jot something down from that day. I think it would mean a lot to my daughter someday. Thank you, Melissa, for the inspiration.
Patty I couldn’t agree more and it’s why I wanted to start doing it too. Just to leave a little bit of myself behind. I wish I had always done it now. But it’s not too late for either of us to do this. And I think it’s going to be a good legacy for us to leave behind. And it really doesn’t have to be a lot either. Take care and we can do this.♥️♥️♥️
I really like them too. They don’t add a lot of bulk like the bigger ones do but they are looser than my jeggings are. So it’s kind of a nice medium. I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi pretty lady, you had some really good favorites. How’s everyone in your family. If they are anything like everyone I know that has had it it takes a long timers get over the terrible fatigue. I don’t hurt anywhere it’s just the tiredness, yuck. The other thing is the loss of appetite. For me that’s not a real negative because I have lost 10 pounds and I can stand to lose another 10. I do have the best nurse. My husband is just wonderful. I already knew that but but.his great qualities have just been reinforced. I thank God every day for him and everyone in my family. I am truly blessed. Well I have just rambled on and on. Take care Melissa, love you.
Thank you so much Sharon. My daughter-in-law had the worst and like you said it is the weakness and the fatigue that has taken it’s toll on her. In the middle of it I saw her through the window and I was actually quite frightened she was so sick. So like you, I think it’s going to be a slow road back to recovery. Please take care of yourself and know I am thinking of you. Much love, Melissa
So glad you discovered the no boundaries Jane's! You're right they are so comfortable, every style I've tried. I have a pair of their midrise boot cut and the pullen flares. Super affordable so we can follow the trends. I'm not throwing my skinny's out though lol. I just wear them with oversized tops and sweater dresses in the Winter
I could not believe it. I sat there and looked at Doug and he looked at me and we were just flabbergasted. I mean we sat there for five minutes in silence just kind of looking back-and-forth at each other. Take care and I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Good morning Melissa! I learn about some really good shows from you. I've kept a calendar of daily events for about 40 years. When I go back in time and read about the day, it brings back great memories. I'me definitely going to check out the dressing, sounds yummy. Blessings, and love beautiful..MaryEllen
I had no idea that you did that MaryEllen and I admire that. I so wish I had done that. I have got to get in the habit because what I’m afraid of is I will skip a day and then start getting out of the habit. Love you and thank you so much. 💋💋💋
I love your videos and you look beautiful! I’m a year younger and try to follow your recommendations for my skin but I still have neck wrinkles, crows feet and deep lines I would love to look like you!
Hi Melissa I been keeping a journal for years & I write down my blessings & morning scriptures that stick with me & just fun things to remember that I don't want to forget! I do like those jeans on you, I will need to check them out, TFS hope you are feeling well! Xx Karen
That is just wonderful Karen. I really wish I had gotten into the habit of doing it. It’s still new to me so I’ve got to learn to set aside a time every day. Thank you and take care.💜💜💜
Love all your recommendations. We love the same type shows. I have watched Unforgotten - excellent. I especially like BBC crime shows. I wondered how you could watch all those shows. I don’t turn on the TV until evenings too, so I only get an hour or two each night. I also have tried keeping a journal, but have not been successful. Time to try again! Thanks for all the TV suggestions. Love your videos.
I think just consistently watching for a few hours every single day, we end up watching and going through more programs than we realize. Or at least that’s the way it is for Doug and myself. Take care and I appreciate it. 🌸🌸🌸
Love your favorites!! I don't think your videos are long at all, when you want to share I say share all you want!! I use the Kerastase shampoo and masque too, love it. I also use the one for color treated hair and a couple of others. If you ever need to tone down the blonde it will do the trick! Thank you so much for sharing these with us today! Have a great upcoming week!!
aw well thank you for saying they're not too long. I have to use the color treated one again, too. I remember liking it. But I have noticed this one doesn't fade my color at all and the roots stay nicer longer. Yep sometimes I need to tone down the blonde so I will grab it. Thanks Tanya! xox, Melissa
📚It’s so great to hear you and perhaps some of your viewers do journaling of any kind. I’ve kept garden journals, daily gratitude journal, and my bible study journal, and like your Uncle Bill, I keep a simple tablet of things I do on a daily basis. Even when someone calls, I write it down! I love going back over them. I always wanted to write a book, but my journals will have to do! I enjoy the written word (goes back to my secretarial days loooonnnngggg ago), and it gives me peace to make note of my day and reminds me there is “always something to be thankful for”. I’m so thankful for you and your viewers, Melissa. God bless 🥰🌼🌻💐💜
I absolutely love that you do those journals!!! What a wonderful record you have to look back on. You should write a book! I like seeing things written down and organized, too. I always put an arrow pointing to each item or entry. Something about that arrow pleases me. lol Thank you so much. Please take care. Love, Melissa
It seems you have so many choices in the US. I've never heard of these great programmes you and those in the comments mention. Yes, I enjoy reading what your other subscribers have to say. I'm feeling most grateful these days as I have so many opportunities to maintain my health, great fresh food in abundance and a kind husband and happy successful son who enjoy their lives too. Love your "favourites" videos too!
Hi Melissa!! You look very pretty in orange. I like that you shared some food items. The dressing & pesto sound yummy! I subscribe to apps just like you suggested. I start and stop Hulu all the time. Every now and then they have a series that I can only find there. Enjoyed your favorites!!😘❤️🌾
That dressing, Dawn! It makes my mouth water to think of it. Yes, they have gotten pretty competitive on the apps so you can work things around and really watch some good shows without making a long-term commitment. It's been pretty neat. Take care and I thank you! Love, Melissa
I agree with you on the skinny jeans. I think the mom jeans look awful on me. I don’t think the skinny will gone anytime soon. No one wants to look baggy and heavier. Love Celeste Barber too. She’s a hoot.
BB Sandwash Pink, Classic!! It's been in my makeup collection for 20 years. There's also a matching lip liner that goes on nicely. Great product, fairly priced. 👍
Love Acorn TV. For a few years now, I've been getting it for a month or two, watch what I want and then cancel. Later new content appears then I do it again. Same with Britbox. I love so many shows like Doc Martin, Escape to the Country, Homes Under the Hammer, etc. They also lots of great documentaries :)
Those jeans look so good on you!!! I am the same as you - 57 yrs old, 5 feet tall and 91 lbs. Loooove my skinny jeans and have to be careful wearing anything too baggy as the jeans take over my frame!!!! I think you are a wonderful person and I truly enjoy visiting with you each week!
Well thank you so much Jody. That is so kind of you. My daughter is petite also and she just gets overpowered if she has too big of things on her. I bet you look beautiful in your skinny jeans. I think they’re extremely flattering. Take care and I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Honestly, I can't get over that your over 65. You don't look a day over 50! Beautiful! I also don't get the fire stick. I never used to be technically challenged but I am now! The only thing I've installed lately is my chrome cast. That let's me cast apps from my phone and I love it except if I'm not here, other people can't watch what I can. I just got a new smart TV and had to pay Comcast to come set it up!!! I love your personality Melissa, you're a sweetheart! ❤
Well I have a confession to make. If it weren’t for Doug I would not know what the heck I was doing with these apps either. LOL. And sometimes I think we have so many remotes I can’t tell which one to use. LOL. Take care and I really appreciate this. 🌷🌷🌷
Melissa, we share similar tastes in TV shows. I’ve loved your recommendations and if you can get your hands (or eyes) on Endeavour, Grantchester, The Bletchley Circle or Maigret (with Rowan Atkinson), you will enjoy those :)
Yes indeed we do. We watch all of those except for the last one. I will check that one out. But yeah we do have similar taste. Take care and I appreciate it.❣️❣️❣️
Fun video! Have you heard of “Only Murders in the Building”? Is stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. It’s funny and intriguing. It’s on Hulu!!
The idea of a journal changed my life. I started 10 years ago just jotting 3 things a day that I’m thankful for. It evolved into just writing trip notes….clothes I bought…. Things I saw on my walk.. simply looking for fun things that day. 😊
Video definitely not too long. Love hearing about all of your shares and reviews. I'll have to check out the sand wash pink lipstick. I know many people like the distressed look, but I just can't understand it!!! Lol. But glad you found something that works for you. We have an app too for tv watching but may change it. Yes, prices are competitive. Yay!!!!! We used to pay for cable. Too expensive. Love that color top on you! I love remodeling. Will you show it on TH-cam??? I first redid my mom's house at age 21 (painting, redid kitchen cabinets, repairs, new carpeting, new curtains, new flooring, etc), then recently redid it again in the past year. What are going to do in your kitchen??? Its so easy these days with peel and stick materials (like back splash), etc. If you want a fast new look. I know what you mean when you clean something and it still looks dirty because its worn out. Take care. See you next time, bless you;).👏👏👏🤗🤗❤❤❤❤
Those jeans look good on you Melissa. Thanks for sharing all your favourites. Mind you, we can't get a lot of them in UK. I would like to eat my way round the US. Your food looks and sounds delicious 😋.
aw, thanks, Rose. We probably eat too much fast food in the US. lol I love visiting the UK and I tell you what, you all have some great TV shows!!! We love them. Take care and thank you!!!
When you have a sensitive stomach and intestines you better watch very carefully what is in the products you eat. Not too much fat. Not too much salt or sugar. Not to much additives. What i saw of your kitchen i absolutely loved!! I love the old style.
I love the jeans! I am going to look for them. Mom Jeans are big fat no for me.. LOL. Celeste Barber is the best! I give her high points. She is so happy and comfortable in her own skin. I need Acorn TV. You always have good recommendations. We don't turn our TV on in the daytime either. Thank you for all the shares! xoxo
Celeste barber makes me actually laugh out loud. The way she goes about sort of poking fun at the models in those videos just cracks me up. I don’t know how she thinks of these things. But she is so funny. No big old baggy jeans are a big no for me also. Take care and I appreciate it. 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for this interesting video Melissa, I always look forward to hearing what you’re watching on Tv! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have watched Outlander!! Now I’m looking forward to the next season AND I’ve read the books too. Hope you and your family are all well since Covid - it’s a dreadful illness isn’t it?! God bless and stay safe xxxxx
Melissa, I just saw you on a commercial for Hydra Rich Serum, do you like it? I saw it on facebook. I have found in the past that these companies are taking pictures of you ladies on the beauty channel and using them to promote there brands. Heads up.
Thanks for all of the recommendations on the shows, really enjoy watching good programs. Love your jeans, so cute on you and I'm definitely going to try the Ranch dressing, i was thinking how good that would be on some wings, I'm set for the weekend good programs and good food, lol. Have a great evening, Melissa! Love your videos ( and they're not too long) 💕
I love to journal and I love the Kerastase mask. I hope everyone is having a beautiful day. I love some of the shows but some of the intense ones… I’m not sure I could sleep 😉🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Yeah if you want something a little less intense I would start with McDonald’s and Dodds. Although the podcast crimes of the century is very interesting and historical. Thank you so much. You take care.🤗🤗🤗
Well I appreciate it. No same old color but sometimes I think when I add heat, like a curling iron it makes it look blonder. Anyway I love you girl and take care. Stay safe..
Are you still using any products for stimulating hair growth and if you are, what are you using? I agree with everyone else, you are a joy to watch so don’t slow down!
Melissa, I forgot to mention that my husband’s journaling has also helped us figure things out with timelines. So many times he’s referred to it for figuring out things we did on certain days. Also I’ve only heard of this in WV but it’s called (people order fries & blu or celery & blu) but they mix ranch dressing and blue cheese, we dip our fries in it & boy is it good.
Hiya Melissa! You look gorgeous! I enjoyed hearing your favs. The Podcasts sound great. Our favorite season is right around the corner. Love autumn. It's going to be 90° up here tomorrow. It's been a hot summer. I can't wait for it to be done.🤣 I'm in an autumn state of mind. I always love seeing you. Take good care. Love ya! 🌸🍃
Oh Mary it’s always great to just read your comments. I so look forward to you commenting. I feel like we’ve known each other for a really long time and I just always appreciate you. . Yes our favorite season is almost upon us. I always know when Starbucks comes out with pumpkin spice latte. LOL.The leaves are starting to turn here and I’ve got to make a trip to the mountains and film that. It’s just beautiful up there. Take care and love you dearly.♥️♥️♥️
I’m really going to try with this. Your husband is like my uncle Bill. He never missed a day. I think the trick might be to set aside a certain time every day to do it. Thank you and sending you lots of love. 🌻🌻
Hello Melissa! Looking great. Thanks for sharing your favorite of the month. What time and day of the week is the show on PBS? Thanks Take care . Blessings
Good Morning Melissa! Well orange 🍊 is just the perfect colour for you!! What a fun idea with the journals 📔 You brought tears to my eyes with the thankfulness you have for life and your family ❤️ Those are truly the things that are important! Luv Ya my beautiful friend 💖 x Stacy
Well Doug says every woman looks beautiful in orange, because those are his college colors. lolol I really want to stick with this Stacy. I tend to start with things and then let them drop so I hope I keep doing it. You take care of yourself. Love you and stay safe!! xox, elissa
@@Melissa55 Well I think is a wonderful idea! I should do the same.. because I have so many things to be Thankful for and You are one of them Melissa! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Hey, good to see you. Your hair looks great. I've been back at work so don't really have as much time as I used to to watch videos so I'll try to check in every now and then. Hello to the family! :-)
I appreciate you checking in today. And listen I know the feeling of going back to work and getting busy. Take care and stay safe. That’s the main thing. I appreciate it.
I recently discovered Dr. Death and it is so good in the worst way. I’m a nurse and those stories are just horrifying. I binged all the episodes when I found it. Just wild. Girl I wish I was bottom heavy like you. You aren’t bigger than a minute. Thanks for sharing your faves💕
Oh my goodness I bet you were just sitting there watching it with your mouth open. I could not believe how much and how often he escaped closer inspection. It was frightening actually. But anyway like you enjoyed it and binge watched it. Take care and many thanks.♥️♥️♥️
Great to see you! Please don’t cut down your videos. You are a joy
Well you are very very kind to say that. Thank you. I can get long-winded. LOL. Many thanks.💋💋💋
**** First!!!! Melissa!!! My lucky day!!!! xxooo Love you! I have kept journals since I was 25 years old...! :)

Oh my I cannot stop cracking up at Celeste Barbers page, thank you for that! Much needed humor right now. 💕
I knew if people start watching her they would crack up. She just kills me. LOL LOL. I am so glad you like her.🌹🌹🌹

I love hearing about your house. Old homes are so interesting. 🏡
Oh Melissa, I just love you, never change! I live not far from where McDonald and Dodds is filmed in Bath, a beautiful city!
Thanks for sharing your favorites! I cherish ordinary days because you never know what tomorrow holds. Writing about your day is a great idea. Take care friend. God bless you. ❤️
aw, Debbie, that made me choke up. It's so true. And I have a feeling happiness is in the ordinary. Love to you, and take care. Love, Melissa
Oh my gosh. I just listened to all the first season of Dr. Death podcast. Never heard of that doctor before today that I am watching tour videos. Thank youuu
You look beautiful- as always. I love your journal idea! I’m going to start that when I turn 49… 2 more months.
I love the idea that you’re going to do it on your birthday. It was so interesting to know everything that my uncle had saved. And you can ask him when somebody’s birthday was and he knew because he kept a whole running journal of that too. It was fascinating. Many thanks.

That pumpkin top color and your eye makeup is so pretty on you Melissa. Don’t shorten your videos please, I love them.🥰
Our CVS carries some Kerastase products. I will have to see if they have that one because I always have a 40% coupon lating around.
Had to add: love Vera!
Hi beautiful Melissa . Ty for sharing your favorites. I need to start journaling too !!! Love the jeans on you and your lipstick too:) take care and stay safe and healthy ❤️😘🌹💄💖❣️🥰xoxo
Thank you for these videos. Always so enjoyable and your recommendations are always spot on. Love those jeans on you!💕
You’re the sweetest person Marlene. I appreciate you always. Thank you thank you thank you. Take care.🌷🌷🌷
Thank you Melissa. Your hair looks extra pretty in this video. I always enjoy your recommendations, I go searching for everything you talk about!!
That is so kind of you, Paula! I really appreciate it so much. Take care! Love, Melissa
I LOVED Unforgotten !!! So so good. I do the apps too like you do. It’s so easy and you can just pick and choose !
Yes, we do too! It's just so easy to kind of work with them. That ending on Unforgotten!!! Wow. May thanks!
Perfect timing! I'm in the process of stripping paint from multiple hallway doors and cabinets. I'm currently experimenting with eco-friendly paint strippers. Would love to know of your successes. methods, and product preferences. Good Luck:)
Yes! Love Walmart No boundaries!!
I am OBSESSED with Vera. I didn't know you watched it. I was so mad when they replaced Aiden.
The daily journaling...my grandmother did that. I have one of hers from when my father was a child, which was almost 90 years ago. The everyday things she would write about. Just things like "It snowed today." "Eugene and I went to preachin' tonight." "Got a letter from Junior today." I have tried to journal multiple times, but I never stick with it.

But it’s not too late for either of us to do this. And I think it’s going to be a good legacy for us to leave behind. And it really doesn’t have to be a lot either. Take care and we can do this.♥️♥️♥️
Hi Melissa! When blush gets that hard layer on top use a piece of scotch tape and tap! It will remove it and be just like new! Hope that helps!
I love that Tn orange top!
Thanks for brightening up my day x
Love you favorite so much always enjoy your new treasures and stories your so lovely love lloydy
Oh thank you so much for that. It's so kind of you. Many thanks! Melissa
Omg. Celeste Barber is hysterical! I will lay in bed and laugh and laugh. 😂
LOL LOL. Me too. And I always have to show Doug. She just cracks me up. She’s got that great physical comedic timing. I love her.
I bought a pair of GF jeans, too in a different brand. I love them.
I really like them too. They don’t add a lot of bulk like the bigger ones do but they are looser than my jeggings are. So it’s kind of a nice medium. I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi pretty lady, you had some really good favorites. How’s everyone in your family. If they are anything like everyone I know that has had it it takes a long timers get over the terrible fatigue. I don’t hurt anywhere it’s just the tiredness, yuck. The other thing is the loss of appetite. For me that’s not a real negative because I have lost 10 pounds and I can stand to lose another 10. I do have the best nurse. My husband is just wonderful. I already knew that but but.his great qualities have just been reinforced. I thank God every day for him and everyone in my family. I am truly blessed. Well I have just rambled on and on. Take care Melissa, love you.
Thank you so much Sharon. My daughter-in-law had the worst and like you said it is the weakness and the fatigue that has taken it’s toll on her. In the middle of it I saw her through the window and I was actually quite frightened she was so sick. So like you, I think it’s going to be a slow road back to recovery. Please take care of yourself and know I am thinking of you. Much love, Melissa
So glad you discovered the no boundaries Jane's! You're right they are so comfortable, every style I've tried. I have a pair of their midrise boot cut and the pullen flares. Super affordable so we can follow the trends. I'm not throwing my skinny's out though lol. I just wear them with oversized tops and sweater dresses in the Winter
Jeans not Janes. Ugh autocorrect
Thank you for introducing us to Celeste Barber. She is hysterical I laughed till I cried
Miss me jeans are GOURGEOUS! I absolutely love mine .
Best free app show is THE CHOSEN. Every episode and season just gets better. Awesome show.
Kind regards from Johannesburg, South Africa
It sounds just wonderful!!!!! 💋💋💋💋💋♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I Loved Unforgotten and was devastated at the end. 😭
I could not believe it. I sat there and looked at Doug and he looked at me and we were just flabbergasted. I mean we sat there for five minutes in silence just kind of looking back-and-forth at each other. Take care and I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Good morning Melissa! I learn about some really good shows from you. I've kept a calendar of daily events for about 40 years. When I go back in time and read about the day, it brings back great memories. I'me definitely going to check out the dressing, sounds yummy. Blessings, and love beautiful..MaryEllen
I had no idea that you did that MaryEllen and I admire that. I so wish I had done that. I have got to get in the habit because what I’m afraid of is I will skip a day and then start getting out of the habit. Love you and thank you so much. 💋💋💋
Have you done a video showing how to do this hair style?
That Kerastase sounds lovely!👍❤️
I love your videos and you look beautiful! I’m a year younger and try to follow your recommendations for my skin but I still have neck wrinkles, crows feet and deep lines I would love to look like you!
Hi Melissa I been keeping a journal for years & I write down my blessings & morning scriptures that stick with me & just fun things to remember that I don't want to forget! I do like those jeans on you, I will need to check them out, TFS hope you are feeling well! Xx Karen
That is just wonderful Karen. I really wish I had gotten into the habit of doing it. It’s still new to me so I’ve got to learn to set aside a time every day. Thank you and take care.💜💜💜
Love all your recommendations. We love the same type shows. I have watched Unforgotten - excellent. I especially like BBC crime shows. I wondered how you could watch all those shows. I don’t turn on the TV until evenings too, so I only get an hour or two each night. I also have tried keeping a journal, but have not been successful. Time to try again! Thanks for all the TV suggestions. Love your videos.
I think just consistently watching for a few hours every single day, we end up watching and going through more programs than we realize. Or at least that’s the way it is for Doug and myself. Take care and I appreciate it. 🌸🌸🌸
Love your favorites!! I don't think your videos are long at all, when you want to share I say share all you want!! I use the Kerastase shampoo and masque too, love it. I also use the one for color treated hair and a couple of others. If you ever need to tone down the blonde it will do the trick! Thank you so much for sharing these with us today! Have a great upcoming week!!
aw well thank you for saying they're not too long. I have to use the color treated one again, too. I remember liking it. But I have noticed this one doesn't fade my color at all and the roots stay nicer longer. Yep sometimes I need to tone down the blonde so I will grab it. Thanks Tanya! xox, Melissa
📚It’s so great to hear you and perhaps some of your viewers do journaling of any kind. I’ve kept garden journals, daily gratitude journal, and my bible study journal, and like your Uncle Bill, I keep a simple tablet of things I do on a daily basis. Even when someone calls, I write it down! I love going back over them. I always wanted to write a book, but my journals will have to do! I enjoy the written word (goes back to my secretarial days loooonnnngggg ago), and it gives me peace to make note of my day and reminds me there is “always something to be thankful for”. I’m so thankful for you and your viewers, Melissa. God bless 🥰🌼🌻💐💜
I absolutely love that you do those journals!!! What a wonderful record you have to look back on. You should write a book! I like seeing things written down and organized, too. I always put an arrow pointing to each item or entry. Something about that arrow pleases me. lol Thank you so much. Please take care. Love, Melissa
Thank you ms Melissa can you say where you got your top love it !!!!!❣️
I bet you’d look good in a pair of dark wash trouser jeans. Love the autumn look your wearing today!
Oh I like that idea of those pants. I’m going to have you come over and dress me. LOL. I sure appreciate you. Take care and stay safe.🌹🌹🌹
It seems you have so many choices in the US. I've never heard of these great programmes you and those in the comments mention. Yes, I enjoy reading what your other subscribers have to say. I'm feeling most grateful these days as I have so many opportunities to maintain my health, great fresh food in abundance and a kind husband and happy successful son who enjoy their lives too. Love your "favourites" videos too!
Love your videos !! What blush did you show that you are wearing. ? You look amazing!!!
Hi Melissa!! You look very pretty in orange. I like that you shared some food items. The dressing & pesto sound yummy! I subscribe to apps just like you suggested. I start and stop Hulu all the time. Every now and then they have a series that I can only find there.
Enjoyed your favorites!!😘❤️🌾
That dressing, Dawn! It makes my mouth water to think of it. Yes, they have gotten pretty competitive on the apps so you can work things around and really watch some good shows without making a long-term commitment. It's been pretty neat. Take care and I thank you! Love, Melissa
You would look great in boot cut jeans. You should try some
I agree with you on the skinny jeans. I think the mom jeans look awful on me. I don’t think the skinny will gone anytime soon. No one wants to look baggy and heavier. Love Celeste Barber too. She’s a hoot.
Love you and your videos. I've never felt that you talk too much or that your videos are too long! Thank you for all your recommendations. 🙂💜
I loved all of this! So interesting!
I also love the pumpkin lipstick you are wearing:)
Well I appreciate it so much. I did feel very Fall-ish in the lipstick and the eyeshadow colors. LOL. You take care and I appreciate you. 🌸🌸🌸
BB Sandwash Pink, Classic!! It's been in my makeup collection for 20 years. There's also a matching lip liner that goes on nicely. Great product, fairly priced. 👍
I had no idea it had been around that long. I really did it. OK now I’ve got to get that lip liner. Thank you for the heads up.🤗🤗🤗
Love Acorn TV. For a few years now, I've been getting it for a month or two, watch what I want and then cancel. Later new content appears then I do it again. Same with Britbox. I love so many shows like Doc Martin, Escape to the Country, Homes Under the Hammer, etc. They also lots of great documentaries :)
Those jeans look so good on you!!! I am the same as you - 57 yrs old, 5 feet tall and 91 lbs. Loooove my skinny jeans and have to be careful wearing anything too baggy as the jeans take over my frame!!!! I think you are a wonderful person and I truly enjoy visiting with you each week!
Well thank you so much Jody. That is so kind of you. My daughter is petite also and she just gets overpowered if she has too big of things on her. I bet you look beautiful in your skinny jeans. I think they’re extremely flattering. Take care and I appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
I love the acorn app!
Oh me, too!!! It's a good one!
Honestly, I can't get over that your over 65. You don't look a day over 50! Beautiful! I also don't get the fire stick. I never used to be technically challenged but I am now! The only thing I've installed lately is my chrome cast. That let's me cast apps from my phone and I love it except if I'm not here, other people can't watch what I can. I just got a new smart TV and had to pay Comcast to come set it up!!! I love your personality Melissa, you're a sweetheart! ❤
Well I have a confession to make. If it weren’t for Doug I would not know what the heck I was doing with these apps either. LOL. And sometimes I think we have so many remotes I can’t tell which one to use. LOL. Take care and I really appreciate this. 🌷🌷🌷
The sweater you're wearing is gorgeous!
xo~linda
Thank you for sharing these videos. Always so enjoyable and your recommendations are always good. Jeans looks good on you!💕
Oh thank you so much!!!!! You should have seen the ones I originally bought. lol They were horrid. lol Many thanks!
Melissa, we share similar tastes in TV shows. I’ve loved your recommendations and if you can get your hands (or eyes) on Endeavour, Grantchester, The Bletchley Circle or Maigret (with Rowan Atkinson), you will enjoy those :)
Yes indeed we do. We watch all of those except for the last one. I will check that one out. But yeah we do have similar taste. Take care and I appreciate it.❣️❣️❣️
The jeans look great on you!
Fun video! Have you heard of “Only Murders in the Building”? Is stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. It’s funny and intriguing. It’s on Hulu!!
Love this show too!
The idea of a journal changed my life. I started 10 years ago just jotting 3 things a day that I’m thankful for. It evolved into just writing trip notes….clothes I bought…. Things I saw on my walk.. simply looking for fun things that day. 😊
Video definitely not too long. Love hearing about all of your shares and reviews. I'll have to check out the sand wash pink lipstick. I know many people like the distressed look, but I just can't understand it!!! Lol. But glad you found something that works for you. We have an app too for tv watching but may change it. Yes, prices are competitive. Yay!!!!! We used to pay for cable. Too expensive. Love that color top on you! I love remodeling. Will you show it on TH-cam??? I first redid my mom's house at age 21 (painting, redid kitchen cabinets, repairs, new carpeting, new curtains, new flooring, etc), then recently redid it again in the past year. What are going to do in your kitchen??? Its so easy these days with peel and stick materials (like back splash), etc. If you want a fast new look. I know what you mean when you clean something and it still looks dirty because its worn out. Take care. See you next time, bless you;).👏👏👏🤗🤗❤❤❤❤
Please can you tell me what nail polish you are wearing. Also living in such an old house do you have a ghost(s) ?
Oh I'm so sorry, I don't know. I just saw it at the salon and they put it on without telling me what it was. I hate that!
Love the video! You ROCK the mom jeans 👏🏻 ❤️ go out and have a great week!
Would you still use the spice liner with the Bobbie Brown Sandstone Pink lipstick? If not which liner goes well for you?
Those jeans look good on you Melissa. Thanks for sharing all your favourites. Mind you, we can't get a lot of them in UK. I would like to eat my way round the US. Your food looks and sounds delicious 😋.
aw, thanks, Rose. We probably eat too much fast food in the US. lol I love visiting the UK and I tell you what, you all have some great TV shows!!! We love them. Take care and thank you!!!
When you have a sensitive stomach and intestines you better watch very carefully what is in the products you eat.
Not too much fat. Not too much salt or sugar. Not to much additives.
What i saw of your kitchen i absolutely loved!! I love the old style.
I love the jeans! I am going to look for them. Mom Jeans are big fat no for me.. LOL. Celeste Barber is the best! I give her high points. She is so happy and comfortable in her own skin. I need Acorn TV. You always have good recommendations. We don't turn our TV on in the daytime either. Thank you for all the shares! xoxo
Celeste barber makes me actually laugh out loud. The way she goes about sort of poking fun at the models in those videos just cracks me up. I don’t know how she thinks of these things. But she is so funny. No big old baggy jeans are a big no for me also. Take care and I appreciate it. 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for this interesting video Melissa, I always look forward to hearing what you’re watching on Tv! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have watched Outlander!! Now I’m looking forward to the next season AND I’ve read the books too. Hope you and your family are all well since Covid - it’s a dreadful illness isn’t it?! God bless and stay safe xxxxx
Great video! I am going to look for that ranch dressing.👑🙏❤️
i love your orange sweater top. It looks stunning on you. Where can I find it?
You look gorgeous, Melissa! 😄💕
Melissa, I just saw you on a commercial for Hydra Rich Serum, do you like it? I saw it on facebook. I have found in the past that these companies are taking pictures of you ladies on the beauty channel and using them to promote there brands. Heads up.
Great job Melissa!
Thanks for all of the recommendations on the shows, really enjoy watching good programs. Love your jeans, so cute on you and I'm definitely going to try the Ranch dressing, i was thinking how good that would be on some wings, I'm set for the weekend good programs and good food, lol. Have a great evening, Melissa! Love your videos ( and they're not too long) 💕
Oh my goodness yes on wings! That’s going to be the next thing I put them on. Yep prepping for the weekend. LOL. I sure appreciate it Sandra.🌷🌷
I love to journal and I love the Kerastase mask. I hope everyone is having a beautiful day.
I love some of the shows but some of the intense ones… I’m not sure I could sleep 😉🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Yeah if you want something a little less intense I would start with McDonald’s and Dodds. Although the podcast crimes of the century is very interesting and historical. Thank you so much. You take care.🤗🤗🤗
@@Melissa55 🙌🏻🍑
@@Melissa55 thank you for responding 🍑
yes super cute jeans!!
Thank you!!!! They sure were a heck of a lot better than my previous ones I had bought. lol Take care, Penny!
Love your hair it’s a new color isn’t it. 🥰 Pat
Well I appreciate it. No same old color but sometimes I think when I add heat, like a curling iron it makes it look blonder. Anyway I love you girl and take care. Stay safe..
Are you still using any products for stimulating hair growth and if you are, what are you using?
I agree with everyone else, you are a joy to watch so don’t slow down!
She just posted a new video today showing her Nioxen and derma roller
Melissa, I forgot to mention that my husband’s journaling has also helped us figure things out with timelines. So many times he’s referred to it for figuring out things we did on certain days. Also I’ve only heard of this in WV but it’s called (people order fries & blu or celery & blu) but they mix ranch dressing and blue cheese, we dip our fries in it & boy is it good.
Hiya Melissa! You look gorgeous! I enjoyed hearing your favs. The Podcasts sound great.
Our favorite season is right around the corner. Love autumn. It's going to be 90° up here tomorrow. It's been a hot summer. I can't wait for it to be done.🤣 I'm in an autumn state of mind. I always love seeing you. Take good care. Love ya! 🌸🍃
Oh Mary it’s always great to just read your comments. I so look forward to you commenting. I feel like we’ve known each other for a really long time and I just always appreciate you. . Yes our favorite season is almost upon us. I always know when Starbucks comes out with pumpkin spice latte. LOL.The leaves are starting to turn here and I’ve got to make a trip to the mountains and film that. It’s just beautiful up there. Take care and love you dearly.♥️♥️♥️
My husband has been journaling for years!! I try & only last a couple days then forget to keep it up 🤦🏽♀️. See you tomorrow on the gram. 😉
I’m really going to try with this. Your husband is like my uncle Bill. He never missed a day. I think the trick might be to set aside a certain time every day to do it. Thank you and sending you lots of love. 🌻🌻
Hello Melissa! Looking great. Thanks for sharing your favorite of the month.
What time and day of the week is the show on PBS? Thanks
Take care . Blessings
Good Morning Melissa! Well orange 🍊 is just the perfect colour for you!! What a fun idea with the journals 📔 You brought tears to my eyes with the thankfulness you have for life and your family ❤️ Those are truly the things that are important! Luv Ya my beautiful friend 💖 x Stacy
Well Doug says every woman looks beautiful in orange, because those are his college colors. lolol I really want to stick with this Stacy. I tend to start with things and then let them drop so I hope I keep doing it. You take care of yourself. Love you and stay safe!! xox, elissa
@@Melissa55 Well I think is a wonderful idea! I should do the same.. because I have so many things to be Thankful for and You are one of them Melissa! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Hey, good to see you. Your hair looks great. I've been back at work so don't really have as much time as I used to to watch videos so I'll try to check in every now and then. Hello to the family! :-)
I appreciate you checking in today. And listen I know the feeling of going back to work and getting busy. Take care and stay safe. That’s the main thing. I appreciate it.
Ooh I’m so happy to see you 😆😁
aww, thank you and likewise! I appreciate it!
I recently discovered Dr. Death and it is so good in the worst way. I’m a nurse and those stories are just horrifying. I binged all the episodes when I found it. Just wild. Girl I wish I was bottom heavy like you. You aren’t bigger than a minute. Thanks for sharing your faves💕
Oh my goodness I bet you were just sitting there watching it with your mouth open. I could not believe how much and how often he escaped closer inspection. It was frightening actually. But anyway like you enjoyed it and binge watched it. Take care and many thanks.♥️♥️♥️
