Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a journalist, content creator, and storyteller who’s passionate about travel, beauty, and everyday finds that make life easier (and a little more fun).

I started my career in the newsroom, but my love for culture, storytelling, and discovering hidden gems has taken me all over the world—and now I get to share that journey with you here on LTK. From travel must-haves and beauty staples to lifestyle picks I actually use, everything I share is tried, true, and part of my real life.

Think of this space as a mix of storytelling and shopping—because I believe the things we use every day should reflect who we are and make us feel good.

💛 Thanks for being here! Follow along to shop my favorite finds and discover something new for yourself.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

Wi Bold & Beautiful was a whole vibe! A room full of powerhouse Caribbean women entrepreneurs, coming together to celebrate, connect, and uplift each other.

And let's talk about the setting — Pantora, a stunning woman-owned bridal shop in Brooklyn, set the perfect stage for the night.

The speakers? Dropping gems. The vendors? All women-owned. The energy? Unmatched. And the roses with affirmations? Yeah, I needed that!
One thing about Caribbean women — we don't just talk about it, we BE about it! Can't wait for the next one 🫶🏾

Do Not Disturb 🌴

But seriously… the peace and relaxation I felt during my short but sweet time in Bimini was AMAZING! And honestly, I didn’t even begin to scratch the surface.

That’s why I’m super excited to be returning soon for another wonderful opportunity. Can’t wait to share even more with y’all soon.

Grateful 🥰

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel #LTKvlog

I got to visit Bimini for the first time and it was AMAZING! American Airlines has a new direct flight from Miami and had the honor of being one of the first passengers. So peaceful and so calm. And loved that I got to sport some of my new vacay fits too 🥰

#LTKSeasonal #LTKvlog #LTKOver40

Talk about having sweet hair 🥰 Love this hair perfume from Kitsch. I get compliments all day too

#LTKBeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Natural relief for muscle pain and tension… say less!

Allergy season is no fun at all! That’s why I take steps before I start feeling congested with Triquetra’s Nasomin. It really does just help to keep my nasal passages clear so I can breathe and feel good naturally 😌

#LTKstorytime #LTKSeasonal #LTKselfcare

Travel vibes in Bimini 🥰

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel

Giving my gut a little love one gummy at a time thanks to True Sea Moss 🥰

Literally my number one travel hack to make sure I’m not congested or sick 🥹

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

Always better to be safe than sorry! This is why this nasal spray from Triquetra stays with me at all times.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Because I don’t have time to be sick, especially on vacation. That’s why I carry Triquetra’s Nasomin with me everywhere I go

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Being congested isn’t fun at all! But this natural nasal spray from Triquetra helps keep my nose clear so I can breathe easier, especially when I’m traveling and on the go

I swear, Her Fantasy Box never misses! Yummy body splash smells so good and will have you feeling so soft too

Trust me when I say being funky is not the way to go. This Everywhere Deodorant from Her Fantasy Box is plant based, aluminum free, and gentle enough for your whole body.

Your 🐱 deserves to smell nice and feel good. And this sensitive wash from Her Fantasy Box definitely got the ladies covered 🥰

When a bra passes the jumping test… she’s a keeper! Love this bustier from Parfait Lingerie. Holds up the girlies real nice and perfect for strapless outfits too.

#LTKValentine #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm

This drone/self-flying camera from
HoverAIR has become one of my favorite pieces of equipment to use. And it's so simple to operate, anyone can use it. @melissarosecooper

#LTKSeasonal #LTKValentine #LTKTravel

This bustier bra from Parfait is amazing! I swore these off for so long because I could never find one I liked. But this is so comfortable and fits seamless under clothes. I’m wearing a 36C.

#LTKOver40 #LTKWedding #LTKValentine

It’s been forever since I found a sweater dress I love. I have since worn it outside and have gotten soooo many compliments. It’s really flattering on all body types too. Thank you Chic Me!

#LTKOver40 #LTKValentine #LTKootd

These towels from Clean Skin Club have been such a help in improving my skin, especially for someone like me who is acne prone. They’re super soft and gentle… not to mention amazing in removing my makeup too

#LTKBeauty #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine

Nothing beats a good lippie! And this liquid matte lipstick in Chestnut from Anastasia is amazing. It’s so soft to the touch and lasts for HOURS! And can’t forget this cute corduroy skirt from Halara. I’m 5’4” and got mine in M.

People see a 90-second news story.
They don’t see the 8+ hours behind it.

I’m a freelance journalist and content creator, which means some days I’m home editing videos, writing articles, pitching brands… and other days I’m back in a newsroom racing a 5pm deadline.

This was one of those newsroom days.

Shooting interviews solo.
Eating in the car between locations.
Writing every word.
Recording my voiceover.
Editing the whole story myself.

And somehow it all turns into one smooth little piece on TV like it was easy.

It’s a weird, beautiful in-between season of life — part freelancer, part newsroom, full storyteller… still figuring it out in real time 🥹.

What part of the process surprised you the most?
