Nicola Elliott's Monthly Musings For April

Spring might just be here! With it comes the feeling of a clean slate, longer days and the urge to shake things up (in the best way possible). This month, I’m leaning into simple joys, small luxuries, and a few new discoveries that are making a big difference in my wellbeing.

Here’s what I have loved so far and in Wellbeing Toolkit this month

Podcast Pick...

We Need to Talk with Paul Brunson - yes, the Paul Brunson from Celebs Go Dating. He’s a genius, and his deep-dive conversations on relationships, mindset, and human connection are totally binge-worthy. If you haven’t yet, give it a listen.

Wellbeing Tip of the Month...

Asparagus season is here! This vibrant little veggie is packed with vitamins, minerals, and all the good stuff your body needs. Now’s the time to make the most of it - whether it’s tossed into salads, roasted to perfection, or simply steamed with a drizzle of olive oil.

On My Beauty Shelf...

Paula’s Choice Vitamin C - fabulous. My skin is absolutely loving this radiance-boosting powerhouse, and with the brighter mornings creeping in, it feels like the perfect glow-up companion.

Instagram Inspiration...

I’m currently obsessed with Lucy Williams’ home - it’s all about that laid-back, lived-in, cool-girl aesthetic, and I’m channelling as much of that effortless vibe as possible right now.

In My Kitchen...

Fresh ingredients. I’ve started growing my own basil (and honestly, why didn’t I do this sooner?). It’s a total game-changer- so much better than store-bought. My go-to right now? Homemade pesto: Fresh basil, a squeeze of lemon, pine nuts, good olive oil, parmesan, a pinch of salt. Toss it with pasta, spread it on sourdough, or swirl it into soup.

Best Piece Of Advice...

Remember who stuck with you through life’s plot twists and detours; those are your people. This one’s been sitting with me lately. It’s easy to get caught up in the fast-moving world, but the ones who weather the ups and downs with you? They’re gold.

Wardrobe Staples...

Currently living in With Nothing Underneath shirts on repeat. If you know, you know - they’re effortless, chic, and make getting dressed in the morning feel like a breeze.

Current NEOM Favourite...

Right now, I’m reaching for our brand-new Complete Bliss Hand Wash on the daily. The scent? Moroccan blush rose, lime and black pepper. A moment of calm every time you wash your hands, and let’s be honest, we all need that!
