THE THINGS SHE ACTUALLY USES, LOVES, AND KEEPS COMING BACK TO.

Nicole does not recommend things she has not personally tried. Every product on this page earned its spot the same way her recipes do — by proving itself in her real life, with her real family, over and over again.

HOW A FIND EARNS ITS SPOT

Nicole's approach to recommending products is the same as her approach to recommending books: if it does not move her to feel something or take action, it does not make the list.

A "Favorite Find" is not a product she saw once and thought looked interesting. It is something she bought, used, tested in her own life, and returned to — repeatedly. Something that solved a problem she did not know she had, or made an everyday task feel a little more intentional.

She shares them here the way she shares everything: honestly, personally, and with the hope that they will make your life a little better the way they made hers.

NICOLE'S FAVORITE FINDS

Personally tried, genuinely loved, and recommended without hesitation. These are the products, tools, and discoveries that have earned a permanent place in Nicole's life.

Kitchen Essential

A kitchen tool Nicole reaches for almost every day. It simplified something she used to overcomplicate, and after months of daily use, it still works exactly as well as the day she bought it. She has given this as a gift to at least three people.

Self-Care Product

Part of Nicole's daily self-care routine. This is the kind of product that feels small and simple, but makes a noticeable difference in her day. She discovered it during her wellness journey and it has been a staple ever since.

Home & Lifestyle Item

A find that made Nicole's home feel more intentional. Not flashy, not expensive — just thoughtful in a way that matters. The kind of thing you walk past in a store and think about for days until you go back and buy it.

Writing or Creative Tool

A tool that improved Nicole's writing or creative process in a tangible way. Whether it is a notebook, a pen, a planner, or something digital, it changed how she organizes her ideas — and she wishes she had found it sooner.

Food or Cooking Find

A kitchen discovery that changed the way Nicole cooks. A specific ingredient, a spice blend, a brand she trusts — something that elevated her everyday cooking and made her meals taste better without more effort.

Personal Wellness Find

Something Nicole added to her wellness routine that made a visible difference. Not a supplement — a product or tool that supports her overall health and well-being in a way she can point to and say: this works.

LOOKING FOR MORE? THERE IS A LOT TO EXPLORE.

Nicole's world spans children's books, editorial services, wellness, recipes, book recommendations, and the New York spoken word arts. Every corner of her site is built with the same intention: to help you feel seen, inspired, and connected.
