Our Founder Nicola Elliott’s Monthly Musings For November

Hello November

It’s that cosy crossover month - one foot still in autumn, one dipping into the Christmas season. I’m all about little sparks of joy that make grey days brighter. Oh, and we’ve had a new arrival… meet Mitzi, my miniature long-haired dachshund! She’s already stolen everyone’s hearts (and most of my socks). Expect plenty of puppy content incoming over at @nicolaelliottneom.

Those Little Wellbeing Wins

Kaigum

Love a natural chewing gum with no rubbish in it and honestly, it’s so hard to find. This could be my best discovery yet. Fresh, clean, and feels like a tiny wellbeing win every time I pop one in.

Book I Can’t Wait For

Suzy Reading – How To Be Selfish

Adore all of Suzy’s books, but I think this could be her masterpiece. It’s one for you, your best friend, your gift list... basically everyone. I definitely recommend snapping up a few copies before Christmas.

Latest Podcast Love

Call Her Daddy – Kim Kardashian Episode

Judge me if you like, but I loved it. Smart, surprising, and refreshingly honest. Proof that there’s always more to the story if you listen properly.

Mum & Teen Moment

Charlotte Tilbury Makeover

I took my teen for a makeover, and it was such a cool thing to do together. The space is very Instagrammable, the team were fab, and it’s £70 for an hour - all redeemable against products. She absolutely loved it.

Words That Stuck

“Progress beats perfection every time.”

Honestly, I’m into this mantra big time. A gentle reminder that moving forward, however small, is what really matters.

A Festive Favourite

NEOM Sparkling Joy 3 Wick Candle

I've already burnt several of these! It’s brand new for 2025 - 100% natural fragrance of ginger, lime and vetiver and made with 100% naturally derived wax. Think the magic and sparkle of Christmas morning in a jar and that's Sparkling Joy.
