Im always so happy when I see that she uploads! So genuine and real

[@catpinto3200]

Wow, Mel! Thanks for being honest about your skin. I've also been struggling for the last 2 months and I still don't know why this is happening. I haven't had problems like this for probably around 7 years so my confidence has been down 👎 good luck with your cleanse!🤗 xx

[@danielletrexler]

I have been in the exact same boat, girl! Turns out it was a hormone imbalance. I started taking balance vitamins and I am feeling so much better and my energy is back up! Hope you are feeling great!

[@s2n9c]

THANK YOU for sharing your skin issues! Ive been having the same problems recently and knowing other people are struggling through the same thing and aren't perfect 24/7 is comforting. You're gorgeous and love your videos!

[@bgle18]

How about a video on how you cover up your breakouts? You look flawless!

[@cr9732]

Try drinking hot lemon water first thing when you wake up to clean out your system (Also clears up acne) After that drink a green juice with FRESH fruit; kale, banana,celery, green apple, ginger, lemon. Starting the day like this helps make better choices the rest of the day. Also look it food combination for a healthier gut. Love your vids ❤️

[@elanhall8362]

Would love to see the process or the cleanse too! I’ve had stomach issues, hormonal issues, exhaustion and skin issues for so long so I feel you girl!

[@nicolebetancourt4337]

I love your health videos!!! You motivate me soo much!! 💕💕

[@fatimazaka5059]

please talk about the supplements! love you ♥️

[@tangosunshine7299]

Could you please do your everyday makeup routine? Really would like to know what bb cream you use?

[@alyssastinson685]

You could add a taller tree plant next to the end table in the living room to fill up the space a bit more! Love your weekly vlogs 💕

[@kristinestocker]

I saw when you showed your vitamins that you take biotin. That can cause acne flare ups. Something to consider.

[@MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

Kristine Stocker really?? Thanks for the info! 👌🏼

[@LauraDeconstructed]

Melissa! Do you have a copper IUD? No energy, dry scalp/hair loss, breakouts, moodiness (and tones more) are symptoms of copper toxicity! I just went through all that and had to get it removed

[@YolandaChenYT]

OMG dates and almond butter is perfection!!

[@alexanne123]

A friend and I stopped eating bananas and that really cleared up our skin! Noticed it by accident at first, wasn’t having my usual morning smoothie when I traveled and my skin would always clear up. Something to think about / try! Now I just have them as an occasional treat 😋

[@CarolinaSv530]

Yes! Please do a review on the cleanse :D

[@dianamadinei]

The date and nuts smoothie looks so good. I will try it for sure ❤️

[@emanemery]

I really liked the workout you put on the screen! Will you share more of the workouts you do??? Maybe do a fitness video?? Thank youuuuu

[@morgankelling4268]

Really look into what’s in the vitamins you take...lots of them can cause acne. Personal experience!

[@brookey55]

Yes! esp Too much B12, and biotin also

[@fantasiosa20]

Have you tried retinol for the skin? It's helping my acne SO much!

[@taylor9664]

I used to eat dates all the time! I didn’t realize how much sugar is in them and I was breaking out a lot and didn’t know why. I stopped eating the dates and the breakouts lessened a ton. Just something to consider. They are very yummy though.

[@MelissaMerk]

So good! I don't usually have dates in the house. Good for once and while - especially dessert recipes :)

[@joyrebecca3063]

If your not eating for 10 days, logically you energy will go even lower💛Food = fuel & energy. So please, do what is best for your health, and a cleanse is not it. If your low energy, try and eat more so your body can thrive

[@deontoms1]

I’ve been getting the same symptoms of you, always tired skin is breaking out etc but I think it’s because my iron is low so I’ve been taking my iron tablets again, do you think that it could be your iron levels? 🤔

[@sasseekassblog7944]

Love your videos! Have you ever had your thyroid checked...it can cause a lot of symptoms but fatigue is one of them.

[@NoScottoSoKo]

Not 100% sure.. but I have the same issues with scalp and skin and was taking the biotin gummies you were. It was new to my diet and I've never had worse skin or hair since taking them for a couple months. I've decided to stop them as I read some reviews about how it can actually be bad for you. I could be wrong but just a suggestion! :)

[@francescadp4739]

I agree with Jessica. I used to taking biotin supplements, after a few months I developed severe acne and it unbalanced my hormones somehow. Fortunately now, after months of bad acne I am fine. But yeah I'd suggest you have a look at your hormonal levels, that may help. By the way, love your videos Melissa!

[@lasau4284]

Love your videos ! Just moved too B.C and love Vancouver .I watched another vlog where you said you were low energy and went too naturopath and bloodwork....I did same thing but had too find a more science based naturopath....she was excellent.

[@cindsang333]

Anyone know of a good one to see in greater Vancouver ?? Please and Thank you 🙏

[@Skelem0]

You probably don't want to hear this but your breakouts could be caused by all the sugar you eat! I was eating a lot of fruit and smoothies, dates ect. thinking they were healthier than processed sugar, but they also raise your blood sugar substantially and in some people cause breakouts. For a couple months I've of cut out most fruit and carb heavy meals, pasta, bread eat and my skin has never been better!! I was breaking out a ton and didn't know why also!! It could also be causing your lack of energy, all of the sugar highs and crashes!!

[@jlb101]

Yes!! ... the very first meal she showed, although super healthy, sooo.much.sugar!

[@bambina682]

Keep us posted on the cleanse! Im so curious to see your results

[@helloteo9363]

Oh my gosh, that table is BEAUTIFUL!

[@송현정-o7l]

I love all kinds of your videos💕💕💕 Speically love your idea of daily meals and organizing video!

[@RESOLUTEFAITHVD]

Your videos are so inspiring 😍

[@miaredzhova-agova7009]

So inspiring! Love your music taste by the way. 🎶😍❤️

[@Christielynnf]

Could so relate to this video on a Monday morning!

[@hollypaceactor]

Please talk about what the cleanse is!

[@icutea]

This vlog was awesome. Please talk about celery juice in your next one! I want to know your thoughts on it. I heard it’s so good for you.

[@kristinamccardle2539]

Thank you for this video. This has helped me get my motivation back 🙏🙏

[@blessed4565]

definitely interested in seeing progress on your cleanse and explanation video on supplements/vitamins! Sounds really interesting :)

[@gabbyiversen8915]

I would be interested in a video on your supplements and why you take them!

[@sophiahuipio3306]

I got rid of my dandruff by using the Neutrogena T Gel medicated shampoo, it smells horrible but it works SOOO well. I only used it a couple times and my dandruff was gone! Highly recommend!!

[@brookeemery3720]

I’d appreciate the supplement vid 🙂

[@AB_BEE]

This video is definitely helpful! So motivating to watch!

[@taylorb3432]

I know you’ve mentioned you have hormone imbalance.... I do too. I have/had all the same symptoms. If you don’t have a regular cycle, you might have the same issue as I do... it’s called hypothalamic amenorrhea. For quite a while I was extremely slim, little to no body fat. Naturally I have the same body type as you, tall and slim, I’m active and eat pretty clean. I’ve been working out (weight training) and trying to eat more calories to put on some muscle. I was advised to cut out high intensity cardio for a while though since that increases cortisol, and stresses your adrenals, too much cortisol restricts androgens from functioning correctly. So far, this has been helping me, skin is clearing up, sleeping well and much more motivated and high energy. Advice from specialists, maybe it could help you too!

[@11kianaxoxo]

At 7:06 where did you get your tv stand from?? Love it!

[@wendycosmetics]

Please do a video about your supplements! I know absolutely nothing about them and don't know where to start!

[@daisyrdee]

Is there a difference in the flavors for the cleanse? Or do they all do the same thing?

[@organicallyhannah]

The packets of oatmeal have dried milk and tons of sugar. Diet is always the main contributor to acne..

[@aylaruby2376]

Banana on toast is the best! Chia seeds sprinkled on top is also great! 🙌🙌 Stay away from biotin it can cause acne! You could try zinc tablets, collagen powder are both great for overall skin and gut health xxx 💕 Also keep skin care to a minimal and try Eco Tan by Sonia Driver it's an Australian brand all natural and vegan products their cleanser and acai exfoliater are Amazzing 😍😍😍🙏

[@nikkimuze]

I'm loving these healthy lifestyle vlogs! I also been telling myself I need to wake up early and meditate

[@xcrunnerandjumper]

I can’t wait to hear how the cleanse goes

[@heatherrobinson1865]

Honestly the breakouts are probably just stress or a slight hormonal Imbalance. I doubt a cleanse would help your skin.

[@emilyeby3887]

What bb cream do you use?

[@maggielynndeboard8611]

I had the same issues and went to a holistic doctor who ran a full blood and hormone panel and then treated me with nutrients and food after and it fixed everything!! (With time obviously) if you’re still having these issues maybe it could help you too 🤗

[@ilsetiscareno]

Adore your vlogs!!

[@phoebecrawford9293]

Such a nice video! I was wondering what blender you use? Love from NZ xxx

[@MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

I'm at the same situation with my acne. I am not used to having acne as a teenager. I just started having them now that I'm 33. 😩 And I am finding all possible solutions to get rid of them. 😓😢😩😫 Found out it was with whey protein, oats, soy, and so on. I am planning to take a skin patch testing to know if from where I am getting this aside from what I mentioned above. So stressful... 😢

[@LauraBeautyFashion]

Hey Mel, did u try not eating banana for a while? Me and my husband struggle with acne and it always gets better when we don’t eat bananas. It has something to do with their hormones

[@callalys]

Do you have any tipps for red tired eyes?

[@nourishwithjass]

Hey girl, you should look into the candida cleanse! It sounds like your symptoms are rooting from candida, which is extremely common.

[@graciemarshall0]

Those packs of oatmeal are so bad for you! They’re just a bunch of sugar! Try just the plain oats you can buy in the larger containers. I add peanut butter and banana to mine and it’s ~delish~

[@EmilyZapotocny]

Yes to the supplement video!! Also, if you've never tried Liver Health pills in combination with a probiotic (I have the Target brand gummy bears) I would totally recommend. Idk what the deal is, but since I started those CONSISTENTLY my energy has been through the roooooooof. It's awesome haha!

[@hockeygirlfan183]

I love your health videos!!!!

[@jessiebosley1243]

Where is your floor mirror (in your living room) from?

[@wendycosmetics]

love your vlogs!!!!

[@MB-mw2qc]

Where was that table from please? And how much?

[@perlaquintana4397]

Yes to the supplement video 😄

[@brainibot1629]

I loved your breakfast. Finally someone eating bread haha

[@kasiowelove1]

I always schedule my workouts once a week (I just write down a specific KZbin video I want to use for every day in my calendar) so I avoid wasting time trying to figure out what I want to do instead of already moving my ass :) Also, for meditation I use Headspace and I think it’s great especially if you’re a beginner like me! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you! ❤️

[@Nakdfashion]

Love the video😍

[@jackieperkinson]

Where is your phone case from?! 😍

[@ashleyr9042]

What blender do you use .?

[@yvettegarciaa]

What is the training app?

[@twpharaoh4537]

You look so much younger and youthful since your fillers have gone down

[@bethcahill9785]

Im always excited when I see you’ve posted! 👏🏼✨ I just put up solar lights (from amazon) in my yard and I really love them! It keeps our energy bill down and they are shatter resistant! 👌🏼

[@BeautyAddict04]

Love the rose sports bra! Could you please lmk where it's from? I need to invest in new sports bras as well.

[@mackenziet2459]

BeautyAddict04 it’s from lululemon!

[@BeautyAddict04]

Mackenzie T Thank you!!💛

[@audreymacleod4552]

you should make an amazon page!

[@LittleHeart5]

I'm doing curology for acne and LOVE it. But its not available in Canada :(( I'm not sure if there is something similar there..

[@makeuplover9246]

LittleHeart5 Why did you choose curology and what kind of improvements are you seeing? I’ve been looking into it.

[@LittleHeart5]

@@makeuplover9246 I used Curology after a year of constant acne- at 30yrs old. It wasn't dramatic or all over a large area, but still really bothered me esp after never having issues EVER in the past. I was so frustrated and felt like I had tried everything, cutting out dairy, and everything else and nothing seemed to help. I tried Curology almost as like a what the hell why not type of thing, nothing else worked so I figured I would try the trial. I believe its just pay shipping for a month of treatment. I started seeing results just in my trial package- in about a month. I haven't had any new breakouts since about week 4 or 5. I'm SO happy I did it. I would recommend it x1000!!

[@CourtneyCoxx]

Great video girl 👏🏼 This is gonna sound odd, but I was OBSESSED with oatmeal, + I noticed my face was breaking out all the time. The only thing that had changed were the oats. I cut out the oats to every now and then, and my face almost instantly cleared up 👏🏼🤷🏼‍♀️ Weird i know, and idk why, but it worked 💚

[@ladywhitehead1]

When I was a teenager, I began an obsession with oatmeal, and also noticed that my usually very clear skin began to break out. I went off the oatmeal, and it cleared up! Probably a coincidence, but you never know!

[@CourtneyCoxx]

ladywhitehead1 I read somewhere it can actually break you out, so something with it, may be causing breakouts for some ya know 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ola333221]

Courtney Cox interesting, have you tried gluten free oats instead?

[@shelleyymarie]

I think cleanse is a good idea to help body get back on track.. would love to see a video!! && not to get too personal but wondering if you've had your thyroid function checked? It can effect soo much.

[@MelissaMerk]

I had blood testing done and I don't think anything cam back for that. I thought it would for sure!

[@shelleyymarie]

I hope you get to the bottom of it and feel better soon!

[@rakhikaur6086]

Love your channel so much

[@MelissaMerk]

thanks for watching!

[@magdalenajeffries6059]

Please follow and post about your cleanse!!! That would be super cool to watch and learn more about!

[@MeghanElinor]

Check your horomone levels! Same thing happened to me a few years ago.. Plus I also highly recommend Tati’s Halo Beauty original HSN pills for skin and hair health!!

[@s19purple]

i love your videos!!!

[@pinapplemangobananna]

YES! Do the cleanse!

[@LittleHeart5]

Are you stil taking st.tropica hair vitamins? Do you have a hair update coming?

[@MelissaMerk]

update should be up this week! :) (next week if not this week)

[@joyrebecca3063]

A "cleanse" will not solve your problems❤️

[@jenniferjune3563]

Put a big orchid plant on that table to fill the space😉

[@lauraannej6935]

You've probably heard this already but biotin (in certain doses perhaps) is a bitchhhh for your skin, Ive always had clear skin but when taking biotin for my hair my skin broke out super bad.

[@RM-mz1hp]

If you but an orchid artificial flower up of the new table it will be looking nice , just a idea for you + love you 💛💛💛

[@SLT22xx]

Please vlog whilst you do the cleanse! It will be so good to keep up with you while you do it

[@Meliiiiif]

Yes do a supplements video :)

[@ivyjacobs5187]

Great video! I’ve noticed from watching your videos that you eat a lot of sugar. Tons of fruit, honey, agave, flavored yogurts, smoothies, and oatmeal with sugar added. Just something to think about.

[@Sofia-sz6kf]

Please document the clense if you do it!!

[@ozturk4088]

perfect chanel melissaa♥

[@jenniferjune3563]

Eat no dairy, eggs or meat. Eat more fruit and leafy greens to clear up your skin. Vegan diet is the way to go 😉

[@lizzichi]

Finally someone says it!

[@frescesiita]

yes please do the supplements vid

[@naille0]

Hi Melissa! Love your content. Maybe you should check your thyroid that can cause hormonal imbalances. And you are right, you have to heal yourself from inside. It's really true that "you are what you eat". xo

[@ariannahornby5736]

Yes supplements video pleasee

[@brittneymarsh1764]

It looks like you’re having cystic acne breakouts which is hormonal. You should look into Essence of L Medispa in White Rock, Leah has an acne program online that might help you a lot. First things first, stop consuming dairy and peanut butter!!

[@jenrose896]

Real talk, do you only consume roughly 1000 calories a day or are some things "not filimed".... based on vlogs steming back a year or two...

[@MelissaMerk]

No! I eat closer to 2000. I don't film most of my lunches and dinner

[@ladysmithrose]

Melissa watch "What the health " and "Forks over knives" on Netflix Very good information on food and health ,has helped me and my hubbie alot. Try it for 30 days. earthlings documentary is another one that if you can handle it.Warn you it's brutal. God bless you and your lovely family :)
