If you've made it all the way down here, thanks for taking the time to read though all my stuff :). In case you are curious, the vast majority of what I show on my channel is purchased by me. Occasionally, I will agree to partner with certain companies who will provide me with their product for consideration. I will ALWAYS mention in the video if a product is provided to me for review. I also make sure that the company I am working with knows that I only share my honest review of their products. If I love it, I will share that. If I hate it, I will share that as well. I will also always tell you why I love or hate a product. Also, I utilize Magiclinks to link my products for you guys. Magiclinks is an affiliate program, which means if you use the link to make a purchase, I will receive a small commission from the sale. I always appreciate you using my links to shop!

Thank you as always for watching and take care!

I LOVE the Mega Pro 4 Palette. I have all of the other Mega palettes and this one is my favorite. Thank you for putting yourself out there and talking about the importance of women's health. Praying for good test results for you. I love watching your channel.

I hope your test comes back OK. You're in my prayers. :)

With regard to my TJMaxx and Marshalls, I've figured out theymust get a lot of stuff from JCPennys Sephoras and Ulta. Like the Kendo stuff. I get Kat von D, Marc Jacobs, Perfect Day hair stuff, Laura Geller and they always have a tong of Estee Lauder skincare, Shiseido and Ole Henrickson. I've gotten Bare Minerals, Boscia and Dr. Jart from time to time but my best find was the Bite Beauty hand-cut lipsticks that were discontinued. I was able to get all 8 shades for $6 a piece. Magnetic closure and everything.

Thinking of you Melanie! Praying all is well with your test results! Hugs!!

Yes, us women should go every year for our paps and mammograms. Do not skip. It sucks but just make that appointment and get it done and over with. I made the mistake in skipping 2 years because I told myself I was too busy. Big mistake as they found a lump towards the back of the Breast wall which I NEVER would have felt with a self examine. It was cancer, stage 2. Had a lumpectomy, then chemo and radiation. Diagnosed October 2015, went thru treatment 2016 and still getting over all that to date. Sucks.
Thank you for sharing and reminding us lady's to take care of ourselves! Breast cancer awareness is in October! Prayers for you that the results come back just fine!

I wish you the very best of health. And your hair is lovely.

[Danit.Talkscentswithme]

Aww, sweetie, I’m praying for good results for you💗I need to get test done too, I already have a breast tumor I get checked every year

[MKBSC]

I thought about not getting my pap this year. Thank God I did. It came back abnormal. They did the test and it came back that I have cervical cancer. I'm having a hysterectomy Oct. 12th. I really hope your test comes back good and everything is ok with you.

[luanwebb]

Thoughts are with, all the best for a good result ❤️

[gailpetrie]

Hope your results are ok.I had that surgery done in 2004, my results came back as pre
cancerous . Touch wood all my pap results have come back normal since.Love your honesty and making people aware to go for their pap tests.I have just ordered the Lorac palette for my daughter, she has all the rest.Might need to try they AHA for my daughter excema.

[angieclementine]

Melanie, I so hope everything goes okay for you! Sending positive vibes your way. ❤️

I just looked at the Sol de Janeiro website and wow is that Bum Bum Beauty Escape kit cute! Seems like a decent value, too, especially if you can get 20% off.

I have the Paula's Choice AHA and BHA body lotions, and I use them both regularly. They are nice, but so expensive! I want to try the Alpha one eventually. Dermstore carries it and they have good sales all the time.

We have a soccer game at 8 am, with soccer pictures at 7:20am tomorrow. I want to cry. Hope you get the medical all clear soon.

Good luck with your test results. I had that test a year or so ago and luckily the paps have been fine since. Not sure if different states do things different but because mine was abnormal I now need to go every 6 months (my doctors said).

I'm so glad u addressed the KP skin issue I have that and thought that's what it was so I did some research on it. I was looking at products to pick up and get it taken care of. I have oily skin in my face and my body has drier. Lol what to do? But anyway I will check out ur links I was on Amazon looking. Anyway.i will figure out and get something soon. I have a great internal med doc female and just did my mammogram a cpl wks ago and all it was a 3D. All clear. I have Lymphoma so that always make it to close for comfort for me. Anytime I'm in seeing her she checking to see if I'm up to date. On everything I do Pap every 3 yrs. I'm doing it in Nov. mammo was Great. So pleased she keeps me up and reminded.i will be praying everything turns out Good for U ❤️

Thanks for mentioning the Sol de Janeiro site. After MUCH resistance to even trying the Bum Bum cream I rec'd a mini in a (100% cruelty free!!) Sephora Favorites set that I recently picked up & OMG....I'm beyond in love. Probably not a good thing as I won't have the funds to keep up the habit but I'll at least splurge for one full size tub at some point & was keeping an eye on Sephora's site in hopes some good holiday sets might pop up. Not sure why but I wouldn't have thought to check their own site but am super psyched for the set w/ the cream, mist, & lip butter - prob the three items I would have picked up if money wasn't an issue - plus they have a 20% code for email sign up so no need to wait for VIB. Thx bunches! BTW, I know you're probably swimming in skincare but the "Scouted by Sephora" Favorites Kit I picked up is pretty great & actually includes several products you've used/ reviewed. It might even be worth a mention to others as it's SO rare for one of the kits to be fully cruelty free - there's not even any brands w/ parent company testers - and the value is truly fab (legit $130+ for $44, as I did the math) w/ quite a few really decent sized products, i.e. .5oz of DE Babyfacial, 1oz of the YTTP male Spinach Cleanser, .5oz of Herbivore's Blue Tansy Mask, etc.

PS Thinking of you as you await the testing results. I live in a land of medical uncertainty due to progressive neuro disease & it's never a fun place to be.

Prayers for only good results. I used to be charge nurse at an OB/GYN practice for 5 years. I remember having to call my girls and schedule all the different procedures. I know it's nerve racking
