Drs. Appointments and Grocery Haul | Week In My Life Vlog

[@kasiowelove1]

I love how clingy Tika is! Wherever you go, she follows immediately. So cute 🥰 Also, I have a video request for your „mood improvement routine”!

[@courtdwest]

17 minute vlog!?!!? BEST SURPRISE EVER

[@CoIorful]

Hoping to see details about what your blood tests you mentioned last video revealed. Were they all in normal ranges?

[@xcrunnerandjumper]

Love these type of vlogs. I have similar hormone issues. I can’t wait to see how all of the naturopath stuff works out

[@mermaidlow]

I'm not sure if you've ruled this out yet, I can't remember if you talked about it in other vlogs but, you may want to look into Eczema as the source of your eye/scalp problem. I have pretty bad Eczema myself and nothing worked for me until I switched over to all CerVe products. There were ingredients in those high-end cleansers and moisturizers that would irritate the crap out of my eyes and face. I still get a bit itchy if I leave eye shadow on for too long but otherwise, it's a million times better than it used to be.

[@crystalalemay]

Lauren La Roche Rosay worked for my Eczema. It doesn’t have any of those additives that irritate the skin

[@mermaidlow]

@@crystalalemay I just looked them up, I had no clue they sold this line at Target! I might have to try a few things. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@AlyssaMazur]

Just found your channel last week! Love your vlogs. I'm from Kelowna, but living in Edmonton now. I'm your age and find you super relatable. Thanks for sharing your life with us! I've been going back and watching all your past videos lol.

[@Itsjordywebb]

AlyssaMaz i’m from van! fun seeing comments of people on here all from B.C. and enjoying vlogs :) i make vlogs too if you wanna check them out 💗 hope you’re enjoying edmonton! xo

[@kahs1348]

You’re allowed to “rant” girl. You’re going through a lot right now and it’s totally okay to vent and have a place to do so. Sending lots of positive vibes your way ❤️ Also try Aquaphor and Cetaphil products atm since your skin is so sensitive and as my Indian mom would say, “cut out red meat and shellfish out of your diet” if you have any sort of allergic reaction or sickness. It really does help!

[@shayjaramillo4855]

Loving that you’ve added all of this in, real life problems!

[@hollypaceactor]

Girl i SO feel you with everything happening at once. When it rains it pours!

[@n1cole33]

girl i know you may/may not have eczema, however i used to get it just like this around my eyes. i can't recommend enough the avene cold cream. it is super super heavy, and for sensitive skin and COLD so it feels amazing on irritated skin. I would put it around my eyes before bed and it would clear up by morning.....it's a lifesaver!! good luck

[@gabriielalala22]

I’m sooo glad I’m not the only one that finds moldy stuff when I clean my fridge 😅🤣

[@MsNicolewarren]

lolol same

[@CiaraHilton]

I do all the time 😂

[@LittleMissD33]

🙋‍♀️

[@SovereignSelf2095]

I’ve had the mucual cyst before in the exact same spot and I used alum powder religiously for 2 weeks and it eventually fell off on its own. I know how it feels and it was the worst time. I think stress was what caused it so I would recommend to slow down with everything in life and really try to calm your nervous system down. The more you obsess about it the more it makes it worse. Hope everything turns up for you!! Sending you lots of love!!!

[@antonianass9552]

If you go to Cambie whole foods they have wrap options in the back fridge by the hummus... They have them flat in the fridge so it’s not easy to see

[@jessicac6961]

The wraps at whole foods is in the refrigerator section where they have the ready made pico and the guac

[@lindsayvanarnum1723]

I had the same bump in my mouth and I had it removed, super easy, painless ( took less than 5 mins) and was healed literally within 2 days. Super annoying and totally worth just getting it taken care of. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@lindsayvanarnum1723]

Oh and a dermatologist did my removal. Covered by insurance. My dentist wanted to charge me 1,000 as well.

[@kayleemahon3261]

Love the mel-weekly!!

[@rebeccashealthylifestyle6386]

Try putting chamomile tea bags on your eyes. Soak the tea bag in hot water and then once Luke warm put that on your eyes for a couple minutes. Keep doing this daily. Hopefully this helps a little.

[@Rebex0]

I take a oil each day called bestow beauty oil. Not sure if you can get it in Canada or if you can find a similar product but it’s cleared up my skin issues and a friend of mine has dermatitis and it clears that up as well. I just put a table spoon in a smoothie each day! Works amazing for us

[@Nikki__F]

The wraps are in the produce isle with the fruits and veggies, there is a refridgerator section with the sliced zuccini pasta, that's where they are. :)

[@alyciajohnson5959]

I had the same lip thing for 2 years!!!! I was so fed up and about to get it surgically removed then I tried alum religiously for like a week and it went away!! The worst part is that you think it's gone and then it comes back with vengeance. But the alum definitely worked. Good luck!

[@Megsmsndancer]

Have you tried the first aid beauty ultra repair cream? I have such extreme eczema and it’s the only thing that helps me!

[@MelissaMerk]

I have some in my cupboard! I'll have to bring it out

[@Rachel-kj5tr]

I’ve had horrible eczema on my face since I was a kid during the winter and this product saved me 😂 so amazing!!

[@lizzichi]

Also Vanicream is a great one! Cheaper, too. It's recommended by the National Eczema Association.

[@MsNicolewarren]

you should get one of those fridge organizers for pop cans, and put the cans in there inside the fridge to free up the door space

[@maliaferrozzo435]

Alum is also what gets rid of canker sores inside the mouth faster so I can totally see it working for your lip!

[@lizzichi]

Yay! Long vlog! Get well soon, Melissa!

[@Zooay29]

I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well- there is nothing worse than being in poor health. You will be all better in no time, it’s just frustrating right now cause it’s all coming at once but it will all pass. YOU GOT THIS!

[@JennV-B]

When I get a similar thing with my eyes a prescription dandruff shampoo clears it up! I can check the name if you want since I’m in Canada as well. Also be careful not to leave it on too long and rinse thoroughly without opening your eyes at all as you know lol. But do it in the shower and actually put it on your eyes (not completely dry from being in the shower) leave it on for like 1-2 mins max (prescription one) works miracles. If it’s dry in Vancouver a humidifier might help out your itchies a bit. Mine definitely makes a difference. Also don’t take super hot showers. That dries out your skin. The struggle is real...

[@Vampi223]

I miss seeing you riding the Jeep, I luv how simple & realistic vlogs

[@user-hv1vq9cn7p]

I love your vlogs! Tika is the cutest as alwayssss 🥰

[@ericab.1089]

I had a mucocele too! Such a pain. The alum trick worked for me. Try crushing it up when you’re creating the paste...if you’re still dealing with it. Took it right off.

[@Keolani7]

Hey girl! I legit just had one of those on my lip a few months back. My doctor told me the same thing of having to possibly get it removed. I let mine just naturally heal - it did take a few months to fully go away, but it did go away on its own. Hope you feel better.

[@oliviacote763]

You might be able to find different wrap selections in the Deli area of Whole Foods! They sometimes put them, there - took me years to figure out

[@britney6781]

I love the drunk elephant protini moisturizer for my dry skin!!

[@melissab6144]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@heyannskii]

Have you been to a dermatologist? I get eczema around my eyes sometimes and I either use a mild steroid cream(very small amount), aquaphor or Avene xera calm xd balm moisturiser (the avene I highly highly highly recommend!) depending on how bad the skin is around my eyes are.

[@ashleymurray2170]

I have psoriasis and it causes an extremely itchy scalp and has also flared on my face. You might want to try and get into an dermatologist to rule that out. Hope everything clears up soon! ❤️

[@sydnepowell361]

If you have the cicalfate cream by Avene, try it on the skin around your eyes! I work at a pharmacy and it has worked wonders!

[@kianaquinn-charron7164]

I think you should try avene as well since, it’s great for ezcema it’s the only thing I use for my extreme dry skin since I’m allergic to a lot of things that cause my face to break out ans I use bio oil as well on my face to keep the scarring and hydrating of my face with I use for my whole body before a hydrating with a think Vaseline creme

[@kyragillan5663]

So looking forward to the home vlog!

[@LittleMissD33]

I hope you get better soon! Just keep the positivity 💪

[@libby_33]

Your poor eyes :(( I developed contact dermatitis on the back of my head, and under my armpits just last year. The human body is just crazy sometimes. I’m sending you all the love for healing ❤️🥰

[@saraawagnerr]

go to breakfast is always toast and/or smoothie, you can never go wrong with either!!!

[@michaelabishop1131]

Glad you are seeing a naturopath :) my boyfriend had similar scalp problems and he also got his doctor to refer him to a dermatologist for it! Which helped lots

[@jennyelsie]

As a teen, I had several mucoceles on my bottom lip on the inside, just where you have them. They were there for a very long time and would deflate & then inflate again. I finally had to have them surgically removed by my dentist. Good luck.

[@AbbieKS]

It will be interesting to see what your results are from the natural path doctor. I have been through similar experiences with me eyes. My doctor told me to use baby shampoo for around my eyes and I feel like that really helped a lot. Plus using Flonase and otc eye drops that are for allergies. I don’t know if you are still using hydrocortisone around your eyes but a pharmacist that I work with said you should never put a steroid cream on your face! He said the skin is already thinner and more sensitive on your face so it’s not a good idea to put a steroid on it. I also have had scalp issues too and a dermatologist gave me ketoconazole shampoo that helped. Now I use an Apple cider vinegar rinse with essential oils every time I wash my hair that helps my scalp a lot.

[@luvbug1331]

I have had the same hormonal acne/rash/dry bumpy skin and I’ve been using the Cera va salicylic acid lotion and I promise you it is a miracle worker!

[@Itsjordywebb]

rebecca glover thanks! i’m going to try this!

[@samwest1078]

Love the sunglasses. What brand are they from?

[@VitaminV29]

Ok Teeka hoping into her little harness... so cute!!!!! Sorry about you lip. I just went on vacation and got a bump just like that on my lip. Like it came on in 30 minutes. It went away in about within a week.

[@kaylaramos]

You should consider seeing an optometrist to troubleshoot what it is! They can also refer you to an ophthalmologist if needed. GP’s aren’t eye experts and optometrists can take a better look and pinpoint the problem. If it is eczema, I’ve battled with it for the past two years on my eyelids and I’ve been using Elidel which is a non-steroidal cream and it helps tremendously!

[@janav9279]

Sending all the love your way! When your up to it, would you do a new fall clothing update which includes how you match clothes/outfits together (tops and bottoms)...I'm horrible at pairing clothes so looking for some inspiration haha :) Love the vids!

[@yayabrazie]

My favorite smoothie >strawberries, raspberries, sherbert, yogurt, vanilla powder (protein or whey), peanut butter and cranberry juice 👍

[@sarahomar8658]

Am feeling so sorry for what’s happened to your face, scalp and eyes .. i felt my body hurting me while i was watching 💔😅 i hope you’re feeling better right now. ILYSM MELLY 😘😘

[@aylaruby2376]

I love your vlogs 💕 🌟 💕 Your must be feeling so much better with your symptoms getting better babe! There's nothing worse then being unwell with conditions, I have vertigo today sucks loss of balance and dizzy 😱 😱 Love ya from Australia xxxx

[@MelissaMerk]

Thank you!

[@MsNicolewarren]

go to breakfast for me is a piece of toast, with sambal oelek (hot chili paste) and then mashed avocado with the everything but the bagel seasoning. so yummy! i'm not a fan of spicy food but the sambal oelek is sooo good

[@lizzichi]

Wow. That "sounds" amazing!

[@MsNicolewarren]

@@lizzichi it's sooo good!! sometimes ill add sliced hardboiled eggs too

[@Stephaaniee93]

ive been dealing with an issue with my eyes too .... i got some allergy meds & some Cera Ve moisturizer to stop the itch and its been helping. As for the dandruff and sore scalp ive been dealing with that for years and hundreds spent. I use OGX argan oil shampoo and a treseme conditioner & remember cold water if possible. Hope you get things figured out girl ♥

[@annapichler2872]

I think you just have extremly dry skin, its called neurodermatitis. I have that to since I was little. You just have to apply vaseline on the eyearea every day before bed or if it doesnt work then try with a light cortisone cream (like 1%). But dont overdo the cortisone because its really not god for the eyes. Just use it until its fine and then use vaseline. Try a cortisone shampoo on the scalp too, leave it on for 5 minutes like a mask and then rinse it out. :***

[@lexiaudette]

This might sound super dumb but have you tried putting salt on your lip? And drying it out? I get bad kanker sores and salt is the only thing that helps.

[@nancy8811]

Maybee it's a nonsence but I used to have big problem with my eyes. They were sore and red and I had an huge headaches and was sensitive to light and all the problem was that I had really dried eyes (i work with computer all the time and not blink enough). So I got eye drops for dry eyes and its completely gone now. 🙂 Just an idea 🤞fingers crossed ☺️

[@korileighmay6271]

I had the same thing around my eyes and I took a daily non drowsy allergy medication and it went away 😊

[@koolaiddancer]

I’ve also had one of those thingys in my mouth before!! I popped it with a sterile needle

[@joycooper4023]

My hormone irregularities lasted for years until I ate more and exercised less. Some of us are more sensitive to exercise stress. I work more on walking and some weight lifting.

[@Kendrareneecolter]

Love the cleaning montage!

[@MostlyBeauty]

So question... have you ever tried Castor oil for your eyes and scalp... it’s a natural dandruff remedy and helps with the dryness due to dandruff in the eye area... it kills the fungus (dandruff) have you tried it? Or if you’ve heard of that... please try it and let us know an update

[@heatherfarr57]

Hope you feel better!

[@chelsearoble8032]

I've had to switch to glasses for the last two weeks because my eyes have been pretty red, so I can completely relate to you not wanting to go out to a class because people might think you're contagious. My thought was actually "I don't want people to think I'm on drugs" hahah.

[@LakenShana]

You should try taking pictures of some of your symptoms. I was getting hives one summer at random🙄🙄(allergies) and it was good to have something to show my doc. Edit: I haven't used selsun blue around my eyes but I have used for my hair it made a huge difference

[@Cyn205]

Girl vent, vent, vent. It's good to let it out and it's also a great way to get suggestions from your viewers as well! Sending you well wishes xoxo

[@saragrenzer2]

Get well soon😘

[@sana7777aloul]

omg i feel you... best of luck!!!

[@eludeofsaturn]

Hope all of your stuff clears up soon! So unfortunate to see you go through all of these things at once

where is that grey comfy looking hoodie from?

[@crystalalemay]

Plain bagel toasted with butter, bacon, ranch and med dd - From Tim Hortons 😍✌🏻

[@EvaAntonia1]

Oh, I want butterd chicken now!! 😀 Great vlog 😊

[@Eyeliketosmush1]

You should try Paulas Choice skin care, their ingredients are amazing and actually work

[@tamarahilbrecht8354]

Hey with the eyes the eczema/dermatitis is usually due to dry AND dehydrated skin. Usually there’s something that’s aggravating it like even Vitamin C products. Dragons blood extract and cucumber oil mixed into a light cucumber gel base works amazingly!!! I’ve had clients who had weepy skin which repaired in a week and being consistent with it makes the skin stronger! Do not use dandruff shampoo please! The ingredients are not made for the delicate eye area

[@Skelem0]

Hope you get some answers soon Melissa! Maybe you should see a dermatologist if you haven't already!

[@Piggypigg]

A long video, after a long day.. yaaay :)

[@irinouk87]

Hoping you get well soon 😘🤗

[@hollywoodhoney1]

Hahaha I thought you said “put alum on my bum again” and I was like waaat 😂

[@meghanvandermolen1065]

Is your mouth sore like a canker sore? I get canker when I'm stressed and they last over a week.

[@MelissaMerk]

mucoceles are from a blocked saliva gland. I bit the inside of my mouth a few weeks ago which caused it!

[@lisastjohn5075]

Where is your sweater from? It looks so damn comfy, I need it lol.
