    Dearest Mel I feel like I owe you babysitting money...I just starting watching my 3 month old granddaughter and she LOVES you. I watch your channel all the time....so naturally her first viewing of you....She smiled a huge smile and just stared at you smiling all the while. Today she gurgled and cooed at you. She’s truly mesmerized by you.... it’s so funny and cool to watch her “flirt” with you! 😂

    @roselynmvm Před 3 lety +15

    Just fyi, succulents do need a lot of indirect bright light. They’re NOT low light plants. And bathrooms have lots of humidity and succulents don’t dig that. So if you don’t want to eventually get them looking funny or kill them, get them out of your bathroom asap! You can go into any nursery and ask them for low light plants and they will point you into the right direction (like zz plants or some calatheas).
    Love your makeup today!!

    Hi dear eyeshadow queen, how are you doing? Loved the video, thanks!!!👍🤩🤩🤩🤩 I am in love with that Intensifeyes product, Mel, i am really happy with it!!!! The PMG palette nr. 9 i really like. It's a bit more difficult, being 51 now, using glitters, but i love these palettes so much! My most favorite eyeshadows of the months were the 2 Tigers (single shadows) from Chantecaille, such beautiful colours, and so easy, 1 swipe in the crease and under my eyes with the taupe, and the green shadow on my mobile lids, some eyeliner, ready. Pat McGrath is much more work, but still love it. But i find Sydney Grace and most of Natasha Denona palettes/singles mostly easier to apply. Love your Huda look you created, wow!!!!!!!! Sending you lots of love, enjoy your day!!!🖐😘😘😘😘

    Hello Mel, I got that Nars palette because of you. I seen your eye look and I said I really have to get that. I love all the shades in that palette. I didn’t purchase the Pat McGrath mothership palette cause I really looked at it and it looks like some others. I always love your eye looks. That purple shade is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your favorites & fails. Till your next video have a great weekend & holiday. Love you Mel.

    Rinse tins before they’re tossed and designate a few Ziplocks in your freezer for fruit & veggie waste until trash day. It helps keep the fruit fly population down.

I am so picky with fragrances and very sensitive to coconut which seems to be in everything nowadays lol. But I love the fresh aquatic type of fragrances. So basically you sold them to me.

      I wanted to tell her same thing but did not want to sound negative and its not my business after all. Glad you did. Mel stay away from fructose and lots of veggies. Fructose goes straight into your liver and you will have insulin increase wich is inflammation. Veggies have a lot of fiber and we don't digest fiber microbiota does and if you have not enough of it fiber will eventually hurt your colon. Look into keto and carnivore thats what pulled me personally literally from vegan hell back to life. Veganism ruined my guts and carnivore and keto actually healing me.

    Oud Minerale is definitely not one of my favorites. Love his Ombre Leather. But, by the description of the notes you like, try Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Gentle Fluidity Silver or Creeds Royal Mayfair (which goes on horrendously, but the dry down is everything). My favorite from Kilian is Love Don't Be Shy. I worked at S5A when he came there in person to launch his line. Wow wow wow....charming little beauty, he was!!!!
