As someone who used to be a broadcast news reporter in a major market, I KNOW you are making a very difficult/ challenging job look easy. You are so very talented & gorgeous. A news director’s dream ⭐️
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🏻
Your perfection as always. ❤❤❤
Wow, that is a lot of work getting ready but you have it all figured out and look beautiful. I used to get up at 4am on the week-ends I worked as a nurse. I would go to my parents home about 2 blocks away and get them breakfast and help Mom change clothes (she had dementia) before my 45 minute drive to work. It was always hard but fun, because Mom would always ask me if my scrubs were new (no) and that I looked nice. That made my day start out well! Good luck with back to work!
What a precious story ❤
@@mommabear5059 Wonderful daughter❤
I love that! Thank you for sharing
I love your new path in life, bringing joy to so many all in the midst of your life taking a journey reroute ! Dominique please go and take a look at my nieces story on Louisiana Public Broadcast LPB she is 14 and is a Louisiana Hero 2024 , her name is Anna Joy Jusselin… with all the negative in the world, it’s amazing to see these young adults making such a huge positive impact on the world. ❤
@@cwm5316 absolutely!
I've watched your videos for many years and it is so nice to see you happy and thriving. You inspire so many people, keep up the great content!
But but Life Is Short. She's back to the Rat Race :/ She should just play n have fun and enjoy the remaining years. Work is work still. ❤
@@kimwieczorek1879 Like they say, find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life. 😊
This is what I call playing and having fun! We all define it differently
@@kimwieczorek1879I used to think that and criticized her a little for being in anchor mode on her channel when she could have been enjoying life. Then she got new job and I realized she is enjoying life. She enjoys the work and it is a way to inform and help people at the same time. So kind of like a vocation as opposed to a perpetual vacation if she had just quit doing things to lay around and “enjoy life” 😂 I do love her daily life routine vlogs where she relaxes etc.
Just watching God, The Holy Spirit and Audrey in action. Brings me to tears ❤️xxx
I worked until I was 73 years old and used to get up at 4 a.m. Monday through Friday. I would get home around 6 p.m. Please take care of yourself.
Thankfully, I’m home by lunchtime!
Life is short! 👁️🛑
This 4h20 am wake-up routine is a big reminder of my 4h30 morning routine for over 30 years of my career as an exécutive assistant. My salary certainly did not match this effort..... Now retired for the past year, my alarm clock is OFF for good.
That is a brutal schedule! For 10 years I got up at 4:30 to drive 90 minutes to my job at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. After a 6 hour drive home in a flood, I told my husband please move me home to SC. Now the only time I get up at 4:30 is to catch a plane to Paris! Wishing you much success with your new job!!
Wow! You're a great multi-tasker! You put on a full face of make-up while you listen AND talk to multiple people! Impressive.
Especially at that time of morning.
I am exhausted just watching you get ready. Phew!
Same! Could never do that.
...Myself as well..... I have NO desire to get up before 7 A,M. ,unless absolutely necessary.... I have raised 3 Daughters, worked almost my entire Life, and I am enjoying n o t " having to get up " and DO SOMETHING on a schedule. Lol..( I'm now in my late 60's) .
Me too!
I'm just only in my late 30s and I can't even function if I have to wake up before 8 lol I'm a SAHM with a 3yo son btw and I'm sooooo exhausted lol
I adore how unapologetically yourself you are 😌 Your natural beauty shines through in every way ❤️
You are so precious and so real, for not only showing your REAL morning routine but to have all the little interruptions in order to record it. Kudos goes out to whoever got up super early in order to film you. You are awesome!
You are ridiculously fabulous! Your routines and "day in the life" videos were how I fell in love with you years ago and they're still my favorites. You make an incredibly challenging morning process look almost effortless! You're more of an inspiration than you'll ever know! XXOO
Love the behind-the-scenes footage! True pro, doing your own hair and make-up. You know what looks good on you. Boss babe!❤
I must say that it is very impressive that you do most of your own hair AND makeup AND prep for the show! Now THAT is multitasking! There is hope for all of us ladies! Well done!! You are a inspiration!
I am 83, and I watch your videos and remain amazed at the following: your drive and stamina, positivity, flexibility, and your ability to embrace change.
Thank you for taking us along on your morning! The alarm sound on your phone is the same one I woke up to (at 0420) when I was a nurse. Brought back memories! So happy for this new chapter of your life. 💜
Dominique looks soooo happy! It's good to see her thriving and loving what she does. She's so good at it! Love her ❤
I been watching you for years now and I still do. Congratulations on your new job by the way you deserve it. Sorry to hear about your mother passing I’m sure she’s so proud of you. I noticed too that all of you at the station get along together especially with the other ladies . Keep up the good work 😊
Oh my goodness, YES, what a morning routine!!! Isn't it just so AMAZING how Gods timing works! A few years ago could you have imagined all you have been through and where you are today! You are truly a WONDERFUL inspiration! So VERY thankful for all you do! Much love and blessings to you my friend...
I congratulate you with the spirit you have. So many people feel so tired and fatigued from life challenges and suffering. You faced so many things and still in high spirit. There are so many things to learn from you ❤❤❤
I don’t think any of us realize the preparation that goes into your routine. I think we just think anchors appear on news/talk shows like magic!!! Thanks for sharing your morning. You looked beautiful as always💕
Too much stress! 🤨👁️🛑
Beautiful as always and you're so organized, Dominique. I love how you can do your own hair and makeup and look gorgeous and professional on-air. Blessings ❤
Awesome! Lots goes on behind the scenes for a Morning Show! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Backstage, behind the scenes. As a Pro Makeup Artist, this is my world. Thnx for the sneak peak at the prep, it's a lot before the camera's roll. Makeup for both of you looked gorgeous!!❤❤
Thank you so much!
This kind of work is intense and a lot of hours of dedication. Thank you for showing us some of it! It is amazing that you have to learn about new stories while putting on makeup (and in your case taping the event as well). You and your partner looked great after all that make up!! Take care. Hope you do get to rest and let your hair down on the weekends!!! "Whew!"
God bless you 🙏🏻 getting up so early and getting ready yourself no makeup artist or PA helping you. You are amazing ❤❤
Dominique, you are just an absolute pleasure to watch and listen too! You do an incredibly beautiful job with your hair and make up 🎉🌟🤍 (I’m a hairstylist for 30 years) & LOVE doing my own make up as well. 😊 Just love watching your morning show, along with watching Dr. Phil in the evenings. Thank you for bringing so much positivity and great energy to all of us. I love your cohost too,🎉🤍👏🏻 you guys are a great fit! God’s blessings to you and the MERIT family. Love, Joy from Staten Island NY 😊
When I saw your digital clock showing 4:20 a.m., I remembered the many years I got up at that time for a 7:30 a.m. start at my job. Now retired since 2020, I allow my body to wake up naturally, which turns out to be around 7:30 a.m. You amaze me with your energy! I'm glad you are happy!
My alarm goes off at 4:20 a.m. also and Coffee first! But I think I'm grateful now that I can get ready at home!!!! You're doing great!
I love how your natural beauty and love for your amazing life show up in the smile on your face, after one sip of coffee, good morning world🙏😘
Love how you woke up with us and took us to work with you. Love the look and you were rockin' that blazer. So happy for you in this new adventure. You're so amazing!
You go girl ! Beautiful as always. I’m so glad you are happy!
Dominique I love that you share your life with us! Loved this video, it put a smile on my face! I know there is a lot of time, energy and sacrifice in each and every video. I want you to know I so appreciate what you do for us, your audience! Much love!! ❤😊
Love how you keep it real…😍 So proud of you in all your accomplishments and journey just wanted to tell you.. Your Mom would be so proud…🥰
This was really interesting. I love seeing morning routines. It inspires me. And I particularly enjoyed this because it is different from my routine. But I feel I’ve been lacking some things I need to accomplish in the mornings so this was really very helpful and gave be great ideas. Really enjoyed it
Sheesh…exciting, gorgeous, empowering, exhausting…makes me think back to your peaceful days of yoga sessions, salon appointments, times on the balcony, coffee chats. I’m not sure I could go full throttle anymore like you’re doing again.
I still don't get why she quit the previous job if she is working again now?
Boy,she put tons of make up on her face
Yeah I don’t care how much it pays, I’m not getting up at 4am for anything
After working so hard for so many years, seems soooo hard to start over.
I thought the same thing! God Bless her-and from evening to morning! At least she has the rest of the day for her personal time.
Fantastic! Love your energy, organization and can-do spirit!!! 🎉. Thank you for sharing 👏
Love love these morning routines Dominique! Thank you for being so real❤
That was fun; You’re definitely in your element. So beautiful Dominique ❤
Dankeschön für diese Einblicke ,immer wieder super...😊
I've been watching you for so many years Dominique back to when you were just starting out in your bathroom. And now look at you moving on with your life and your new routine. Best wishes to you my dear.😊
Love the cup and look at that smile😊
I love that you bring so much positivity and love into our world by sharing your life. You are a ray if sunshine my dear ❤️🙏🏻 Blessings 💗
So inspiring - watching you live through so many life changes in the last few years, pushing through some tough times, doubt, the grieving process, etc. but coming out the other side. Admire this a lot! To those who seem to want to criticize this new chapter for Dominique - this a talented, VERY professional reporter who had the courage to go out in new directions, prove herself on her own - and has now chosen to go back to do something she is very good at. Why not?. Give her the credit she deserves! She's proven herself on her own, and is now going back to being part of a company. Besides, she just lost her mother and her son is away at college, I think being around a busy, interesting, new landscape full of people she understands will be exciting and interesting for her and a way to make new friends, colleagues and have even more new experiences. She's a big girl now - if this decision isn't the right one or she decides she's happier doing something else, she now knows she can make changes and thrive. AWESOME - GOOD LUCK!
I love your routine so much ❤️🥰 thank you for sharing it !! It would be great if you could also share soon your updated eating routine since I guess your schedule for intermittent fasting has been quite impacted with your new job 🤗🤗🤗 love from France 🇫🇷 🥰
Love you Dominique!💕Can't wait to see if you are planning another hair cut or color change in the works for Summer!!💁♀Love when you surprise us with a cool new 'do... Your salon visit videos with Ceron have always been so fun. I guess new salon in Dallas now😊
Hi Dominique, After your sharing of night and morning GRWM, I have a new found respect and admiration for you. You are a beautiful person, outside AND inside ❤
Fascinating! Loved it all! So happy for your new journey! ❤
Well THAT was super fun!! Thanks for bringing us along! I just love the fly on a wall aspect to it all. Love more of this!
This was SO insightful 😮 I loved seeing all that you go through.. thanks so much for going through the trouble to film that for us!! Loving Merit in the Morning!! I watch on the app ❤
Great morning routine from the beginning to the beautiful results.🌺❤️
Watching you in the mornings… You are the best! Sending love hugs prayers and a daily dose of encouragement. ♥️🙏🏼🌹🦋👍🏼
Ciao Dominique.... sempre in forma...anche al mattino nonostante l'orario si nota la voglia di iniziare una nuova giornata con l entusiasmo giusto...il trucco è impeccabile come sempre...un grande abbraccio con simpatia 😘😘
Dominique you are a star.❤
Loved the video Dominique you are so good in doing your makeup and hair yourself. Best of luck in this new job. ❤😊
Didn't realize you had returned to work. Must be a true passion bc that's alot at 4am.
Audrey is shining down on you and you are radiant!🩷
Wow, I'm EXHAUSTED!!! Gorgeous as usual!! 😍
Love your morning routine ❤ gosh not sure if i could cope with 4.30am wake up.😮😊. Thank you for sharing sending ❤ to all. From Rosie O from a sunny warmer Devon, England at last. 🏴 x
I am glad that you are applying our advice on double cleansing!
Thank you for giving us a sneak peek into your early-morning and how you get ready to go live on air!
So sweet that you took everyone’s advice and now double cleanse. Your skin will thank you with all the makeup you have to wear. You look wonderful at your job. Seems like a great group. Hope you will enjoy it for a long time.
Thanks for taking us along! You both look very beautiful and you are very insightful and entertaining. I've been enjoying it!
You're a morning gal now! Let the transformation begin, just beautiful. Interesting to see the behind the scenes and show prep. I hope it was a great day!
Love you Dominique! Busy life, thanks for taking us along! Love MSM especially Morning on Merit Street, I’m biased ❤
This is so sweet of you to bring us along on this morning routine Dominique! And to include your colleagues as well. You are admirable and inspiring.❤ Thank you.
You are truly an amazing woman. I see so much of your mother in you. My daughter’s name is Audrey and she is beautiful and full of life too. You are inspiring to us women when sometimes we are worn down. You give us a pick me up. Thank you for sharing your world with us and I hope you continue to have a blessed life. 🌸🐝
I love how you make mornings look so calm and organised ❤ I'm like a wet lettuce in mornings ..go girl ❤
You really are a very courageous lady! Thanks Dominique Jennifer 😊
That was so interesting especially the at work bit!! Thank you 😊
What an amazing video! You're fantastic at multi-tasking. Great to see you thriving Dominique 😊.
Glad you actually do your own make-up, you do it so well. Love from Australia.
Wow! What a morning!
You are such a pro D and you look beautiful as always!! Have a great weekend!! 💕
Thanks for taking us along with you. I love these morning routines videos! ( I think I prefer Lisa’s peaches skincare routine lol but hey, we are all on different Morning paths) too fun! ❤ ☀️
My goodness! After watching that, I feel like I had a cup of espresso! Good thing you’re in great shape and naturally good looking! That is a serious daily schedule! Enjoy watching you and Merit Street Media!
I love your new place. So happy for all your new adventures!
Oh I have the same alarm sound (harp)...I used to have this more jarring one that instantly put me in a bad mood...and my waking up is now so much more gentle and pleasant...
I love your new home and am so happy for you and all the new blessings you have!
Dominique you are just amazing and I'm in awe of you LOL.... How you manage to do everything in your life and to do it so well is astonishing. I just have to ask you, is there any part of you that misses your old life? You know, that you we're able to get up leisurely at 8:30 a.m., do your yoga, workout in the gym in your building, have your best friend in the same building.... Just wondering if any part of you misses your old life?. You are simply an amazing human being and I'm so glad you are relishing your new life!!
I totally loved this one! So cool. Excellent editing as always💯
Thanks for taking us along! Love to see you in action.
This was cool! Thanks for this insight. You are so refreshing
Dominique, you are amazing and so inspirational!
All by yourself! Impressive. Love it
I think that's one of my favorite videos of yours
Its so nice to see you again and know that you are doing okay. Best to you.
I love that Partners in Crime tumbler! 😍☕️
Speaking of crime, should reporters who knowingly lie to the public be prosecuted in military tribunals?
Keep up the good work D! Looking Fabulouso!! ❤🎉
Ok, you’ve inspired me (again!) - I’m going to sort my sleep out. You look more refreshed at 0420 that I do tipping out of bed at 7 to make it to my desk when I’m working at home.
This is great! Quick question: who takes care of Oscar when you work? Have you hired a dog Walker or someone who comes regularly (maybe you already covered this and I missed it). Thanks for sharing your routine with us!!❤❤
That was my first thought! That's the first thing I have to do after I turn the coffee maker on!
It's probably Courtney
He goes out in the morning to do his business, and then I’m home by lunchtime, so there’s no need for someone to take care of him. It’s no different than somebody who works at 9 to 5 and owns a dog.
Dominique, you are fabulous ❤ Have a wonderful weekend ❤
I absolutely love makeup - everything about it - and not only never leave the house without being made up, I almost always get "ready" with make-up, hair and nice clothes, even if all I'm doing is staying home. I do this because I enjoy the process and the results. And, of course, Dominique, you do it so well and look so beautiful. But I could not help but wonder how late a guy could sleep as all he would have to do it take a shower to be ready for anything. The idea that intellegent, educated, sophistacted, informed and talented women have to spend so much time and money looking beautiful and glamorous to do their jobs is disturbing. And, no matter how much a woman enjoys this process, there is no doubt that it is expected. And this makes me feel uneasy.
So true. I always wondered why it's necessary to wear so much makeup to report the news.
A little contradictory given that you said you do it even if not leaving the house. And the men will still wear some make up on TV. I think the make up is a normal part of Dominique's routine, so, like yourself, she's doing it for her, and because (she's mentioned before) the studio lights are brutal, so she will avoid looking washed out
@@samc5877 I'm 76 years old and retired. Some days I put on make-up and cute clothes; dressing nicely and feeling attractive at the grocery store is fun. I don't get up at 4:30 and don't have to do this for my job. I don't have to do this at all. I worked in health care and wore scrubs, had short nails, short hair and no jewelry because that approach helped my efficiency and kept me and my patients safer. Now, some days I play with makeup and some days I don't even get out of my pajamas or wash my face, if I'm not in the mood. Men on TV certainly don't do what women do and probably never give a thought to looking "washed out". But as I watched the video I felt this concern about women pushing themselves to live up to some standard that has nothing to do with anything but their physical appearance. I am not trying to be critical, I just feel concern and certainly an awareness of double standard.
@@melodireyes9687Well said. It's about expectations and double standards. I didn't see any contradiction in your original post. 👍
@@samc5877 I do not think she was being contradictory at all. She acknowledged that she enjoys make up and wears it daily, however fact that all of the makeup that female news anchors wear is expected makes her uneasy. So basically makeup is expected in the news industry even for women who don't exactly like wearing makeup the same way she does, whereas men do not have to go through the same rigorous process. Yes, men wear makeup on TV, but I think we all can agree that whatever makeup process men on TV have, it's nowhere near as intense and involved as the makeup process is for women on TV and I also don't think people would say very much if men decided they were no longer wearing makeup on TV. People would probably barely notice, however if women decided they were no longer wearing makeup on TV news, that would probably become a TV news story in and of itself. To me, what she was saying makes perfect sense in that I would be willing to bet if we asked men on TV what their morning routines include it wouldn't compare to women's morning routines timewise and effort-wise by a long shot and whatever extra that is included in the women's process is what is expected of women and that's the part that makes her feel uneasy, as it also does for me. Just a comparison that was made about what is expected of women vs men in TV. You'll see more older men on TV news and rarely do you see anyone on TV news with a little extra pounds but when you do, more often than not it's a man. These are my observations, not the OPs. I can't tell if you're male or female judging by your name, but I'm not declaring a women vs men war. Just a comment about things I've noticed. Have a good one.
I applaud the early work risers. Especially having to do full glam! I work from home so I am up at 7:30 to walk to the next room in my leggings. We need a video jazzing up the storage/changing room 😊.
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing am and pm routines! I just starting a second job freelancing for a major news organization (you inspired me to dip my old lady toes into these waters!)
Your hair looks amazing.
Wow, doing your own makeup and hair for live tv. Well done! You look amazing!❤
Love how you use the Velcro rollers to give some volume to morning /2nd day hair ! I’m transitioning from washing my hair everyday to every other day+days . Hope you’re enjoying your new gig at Merit Street ! 💕
I love this "take us along" morning with you! It's so impressive. Don't think I could keep up with this pace at my age but I have so much respect for you. ❤ Thanks Dominique.
Fun! Love a good behind the scenes!❤
OMG, thank you for double cleaning your face! I was cringing last wk! I guess your natural oil in the am works as a natural moisturizer! You're beautiful, thanks for sharing! 😘🤗♥️
