Melissa opens by describing her battle with a cold and a lingering fever blister but wastes no time delving into the invaluable beauty discoveries she made over the year. The majority of these items have made a noticeable difference in her skincare and beauty routine.

Melissa enthusiastically discusses the benefits of red light therapy, specifically using the Omnilux devices for her face and neck. This therapy has notably improved her skin elasticity and appearance, making her feel more confident as she undergoes hormone suppressant treatments. She mentions that the Omnilux, while not offering a specific feature for the upper lip, can be supplemented with a specialized eye mask.

Haircare was another focus area for Melissa this past year. She explains how starting her medication led to significant hair challenges, including hair loss. To address this, she recommends the Luxe 4in One auto wrap air styler she purchased from Sally's Beauty, as its technology is gentle on fragile hair and helps maintain healthy ends.

Furthermore, Melissa shares her experience with the Revitalash volume enhancing foam, which she found effective alongside the Nutra Ox system. This regimen has shown positive results in reducing hair loss and improving volume and thickness, which was not achieved with the Nioxin system she initially used.

Melissa notes the practicality of the Gray Away root cover-up, which has significantly improved her confidence by addressing grey roots between hair coloring sessions. The EverPro product proved essential in maintaining a more consistent hair color appearance.

Besides beauty products, Melissa briefly touches on her favorite jewelry, emphasizing a versatile necklace from Uncommon James and sharing the practical use of magnetic clasps for easy wearing.

As she concludes, Melissa expresses a heartfelt wish for a less challenging new year, plans for more regular video uploads, and extends gratitude to her audience for their continuous support.
