Always so happy when she uploads! I don’t even care what she posts, I click on it right away!!!

[@sarahblumental333]

me too!!!!

[@Cyn205]

I’ve been super unmotivated with working out too. I miss lifting weights and doing classes. But I’ve been trying to do more mat Pilates to slowly ease back into working out. It’s very low impact but really good for the core and stretching!

[@sarahburstein7601]

You always upload at the perfect time!!!! I literally just sat down to eat lunch. What a blessing

[@brittanyjung1100]

This is a compliment, I feel like you are naturally the Vancouver version of Allegra Shaw who I love!!

[@Megsmsndancer]

The only KZbinr I watch when I see it in my subscriptions right away!! Love your videos and so relatable!!!

[@MelissaMerk]

Thank you!

[@ChristinePosner]

When she said “when this all started” all I heard was Cardi B voice CARONAVIRUUUSSS

[@ramonaistoc8057]

Hi! Do you have a recipe for the rice,chicken, tomato lunch you show in this video? It looks delicious

[@katrinacool]

Motivation is what I need!

[@EL-tc4qx]

hey girl! I got extensor tendinitis after I ran 8 miles last Friday. I stretched a lot and put ice on my feet and let it rest for a couple days. I felt pretty normal after running 10 miles yesterday and they didn’t hurt at all. The pain is likely due to the really tight shoelaces or too many uphill runs. In terms of workout motivation I highly recommend the training programs on the peloton app and I love the guided outdoor runs and many pre/post run stretches. I hope this helps :) love your vids!!

[@naomibaldomero8224]

i'm a dancer and that happens to my foot when i use it too much or do too much running and dancing together. I use a tennis ball to stretch the under part of my foot and that helps! Don't stress it out or it could last for months (it's happened) and making sure i had a good arch support at all times helps also!

[@KristinasDigitalDiary]

I woke up to this, it’s gonna be a good day I know it 🤩 also uploaded a video if anyone wanted to support!! 💛🥰 Melissa’s videos inspire me so much 😭😭 forever grateful 💛💛

[@jenniebrian4008]

I was having pain in my feet from running and then I bought Brooks Ghosts and I haven't had an issue since! I would suggest going to a running store that analyzes your running if you have one near you/is open so you can get fitted for the right shoes!

[@MODELBODYINTL]

Tika is seriously so cute 🐶

[@Angelahhh]

New sub! You’re such good vibes. Your health/pcos journey is inspiring me in my journey!

[@ahtahs9]

Totally feel you! I’m also in this ugh stage and the weather is getting to 50 celsius here :)

[@joellek5052]

I've been using the tone and sculpt app for workouts. You pay for it so I find that that makes me more likely to actually use it. It has different guides to follow and a weekly planner. I'm currently doing the 8 week sculpt it guide and I love it. 28 minute workouts 4 days a week but those 28 minutes are intense! Just a suggestion 💕 I was THE most unmotivated person ever when it came to fitness and I've been sticking to 5-6 days a week of training.

[@sarahherron8354]

Girl I have the same issue when I run on pavement.. I started running at the beginning of all this and suddenly couldn't do lunges, and the tops of my feet hurt like crazy. Felt like the tops were almost bruised! I actually used arthritis cream to relax the nerves in my foot and it helped immensely! My uncle is an EMT and recommended it to me.

[@Forever01294]

Forgot to mention that your fiddle leaf fig is looking so much better! Can you do an update plant care video?

[@danielleinselberg5571]

For scrunching try R+Co curl prime and curl cream together! They’re so good! Also, after you scrunch, try tying it on top of your head in a towel for about 10 mins!

[@Piggypigg]

Been also trying to get into healthy living (trying gg to be active aha) you looked beautiful btw happy birthday to your mom!

[@aylaruby2376]

Yay lOVE your vlogs! 🙌🙌 It's winter here now In Australia and it's so cold all ready 😱 Thanks for sharing lovely xox

[@latisharicher16]

Would love to see your go to stretching routines pre and post workout!

[@L93NB]

Liked the morning routine/workout!

[@purplepurls77]

girl did u do a casual 10k run omg LOL amazing

[@mildapra]

Chloe Ting seriously has the best free programs! Hard and challenging but lovely!:)

[@bcs_beauty405]

Your dogs are adorable

[@marisaanna]

Hey, do you know when your candles will be restocked? My boyfriend is Canadian but I’m not and I’ve been here since the border closed and the shipping for candles to Canada is OUTRAGEOUS! Then I remembered you sell candles and I would love to try some.

[@strongerbyscarlett]

very inspiring and loved the content

[@Angelahhh]

Dude everything she makes looks so appetizing! 😋

[@Stella-cf4cl]

If you’re unmotivated to do you standard routine workout or any routine workout, then do something fun instead. Like rollerblading is super fun and is also a healthy workout. There’s also tons of belly dancing and Latin dancing workouts on KZbin’s

[@kasiowelove1]

The title is my life for the past two weeks LOL 😂 But it’s starting not to be funny anymore - I’m very harsh on myself and neglecting my workouts (which I try to do at least 3-4 times a week) makes me super grumpy. Thank you for this video ❤️

[@shannycook]

This definitely motivated me today 💓 where you ran looks so nice! I love scenic runs 😍 and 10km is impressive! I'm only doing 3-4 at the moment 🥵

[@stephiieelove17]

Love your content! I always wait for your video

[@adelaporhajasova1896]

You and your dog have the same eyecolor and sometimes even the same way you look at something 🤩🤩

[@katebertrand]

What was that recipe??? I'm trying to find new things to cook and it looked unreal

[@isabellerea167]

hey! have you noticed any difference in your skin with drinking the chlorophyll ?

[@MelissaMerk]

I have been doing a few different things so its hard to say what's working but my skin is getting better!

[@stephaniemolloy899]

If you get back into running try the couch to 5k app! Or for more of a challenge try the 5-10k app. I loved it, it’s a 8 week program, 3 runs a week - keeps me very motivated every week to get a work out in.

[@keepupwithliv]

love chlorophyll in my water!

[@natasamikic2676]

You can put that coffe residue in some of your plants soil🤗

[@kristinlee7662]

Pamela Reif has great workouts on KZbin and schedules posted on her Instagram. It's been keeping me motivated and on track with working out during this crazy time. 💪 PS. Your skin looks so much better! Cant wait til you release how you cleared it up 😊

[@yahuiwei4205]

I like how calm Darla is. :D

[@helloteo9363]

[@calliehill4620]

You should try Chloe Ting's Challenges! I've been doing them during quarantine and it has giving me something to look forward to.

[@YolandaChenYT]

Just wanted to recommend Sami Clark she has live insta workouts almost daily and they’re the perfect length!

[@mayuradeaura7805]

[@lightintheendofthetunnel]

What app did you use for your home workout??

[@user1h8u]

[@angelaflukin]

Nike training app!!! It’s free and a life saver!

[@porterexsik]

Is she engaged to her boyfie?

[@jmb5813]

No, they just live together

[@Blondie970821]

But the ring was a gift from him i think, so that might be what's confusing :) but same as the comment above

[@romarvillon3742]
