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.

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 🫶🏾

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

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.

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

Quick fit check before dinner. And this Halara corduroy skirt was a hit... plus it has shorts underneath 🥰
I'm 5'4" and wearing a M.

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?

This sweater dress is everything! Super comfy, stylish, and hugs the curves in all right places. Perfect for multiple occasions too… including Valentine’s Day!

Out past my bedtime but at least my fit for dinner is cute 🥰 Corduroy mini skirt is courtesy of Halara and linked blow. The shirt is an oldie but goodie from Express and boots from Nine West. Linking some similar pieces as well :)

Really the best ring light ever

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

I love makeup — I just don't always feel like putting it on.
On those days, I still want my lips to look healthy, hydrated, and put together. This does that without trying too hard.
The OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment is glossy but comfortable, deeply moisturizing, and made with lip-specific peptides that support your natural lip shape and give a fuller-looking finish.
I grabbed the duo so I can switch it up depending on my mood.
It's linked if you want to take a look and see if it's your vibe too

Never going back to lotion again!

Lotion and me defintely broke up once my Yummy came in the picture 🥰

#LTKselfcare #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty

I will never go back to a traditional ring light ever again!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKvlog

The fact that this corduroy skirt is cute AND has shorts already underneath is a huge win for me. It’s so flattering and comfy too. Halara for the win!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal #LTKootd

But seriously… this dress really is the best 🥰 I haven’t worn a sweater dress in YEARS. But the way this hugs my curves and is super comfy too is amazing. I’m 5’4” and got it in M

I hadn’t been to Senegal in over 10 years and the only thing I could think about having again was dibi.

I was first introduced to this wonderful food when I first touched down when I made the life-changing decision to study abroad here while I was in college. Usually grilled lamb over charcoal at street-side dibiteries, eating dibi with family and friends is a best feeling.

On my first trip back in over a decade, I found myself craving it — not just for the taste, but for the memories tied to it from when I studied abroad here. (That’s another story for another day LOL.)

I almost didn’t get to have it but thankful I was finally able to make it happen.

If Senegal’s on your travel list, this is one experience worth seeking out.

Never have to ask anyone to help with your content ever again! When I tell you this HoverAIR drone is everything… Believe me! And it’s super easy to use too

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKdayinmylife

I love this self-flying camera! It follows you with ease and gets all kinds of angles you want. And best of all, you don’t need anyone’s help to do it. Super user friendly. Definitely one of my favorite purchases I’ve made!

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKdayinmylife

This self-flying camera is AMAZING! So simple to use for anyone. You don’t even need a separate control to use it. And the footage is QUALITY!!!

Made it to work today looking like people 😂 so I decided to take a quick selfie to mark the occasion. High puff thanks to my trusty Puff Cuff and matte lipstick courtesy of Anastasia in the color crimson 🥰

I didn’t expect an ATV to become my main way of exploring Curaçao… but somehow it turned into one of my favorite days on the island.

From riding alongside cars (slightly terrifying 😅), to fresh coconut on the roadside, a quiet beach break, and learning more about Curaçao’s Afro-Portuguese roots, experiencing the island in motion was simply AMAZING.

Would you try this while visiting Curaçao?

To see more on what this beautiful island has to offer, check out Runaway with Mel now streaming for free on Fawesome TV, Stash TV , and Relay TV.

And if you want to get in on my next big adventure, now is your chance! Come run away with me Thailand this year for a one of a kind experience I cannot wait to share with you. Check out it all out in the Travel with Me highlight ❤️

This sunscreen from ⁠ is AMAZING! A friend put me on to it a few months back and l've been obsessed since. I love how the glow screen gives your face a nice look and it doesn't cause any issues for my problematic skin 🥰

#supergoop #sunscreen #glowingskin

For anyone wondering why your skin isn’t clearing up — check your towel 👀 These clean towels have been a lifesaver for my sensitive skin. I’ve been using them for months now and honestly can’t go back to regular towels. Shop them on my LTK 🫶🏾
