She spends her day transforming ordinary rooms into extraordinary showpieces. It was my immense pleasure getting to pamper and treat Melissa to a makeover of her own! Her good friend, Nikki, told Melissa about the Nifty 50 photo experience. &quot;S<span style="color:inherit;">he asked me and she is an amazing, hard working, dedicated &amp; beautiful individual so I was happy to participate.&quot; And she is so glad she said yes! We asked Melissa to share about her experience and here is what she had to say:</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;">&quot;</span><span style="color:inherit;">I felt very pampered! I loved the make up and seeing how a professional would &nbsp;interpret it, &nbsp;and the camaraderie of the women involved.&nbsp;</span><span style="color:inherit;">When I arrived I had a few jitters but they didn’t last long.&nbsp;</span><span style="color:inherit;">It took a little getting used to with my olive skin but I’m always open to new looks and loved having it done for me!&nbsp;</span><span style="color:inherit;">The photography session- she was SOOO good. </span><span style="color:inherit;">I loved the experience and I thought each of you brought a special touch to the table.&quot;</span></p></div>
