Hi, I’m Nicole

I’m a Clinical Herbalist, Holistic Esthetician and the CEO of NAHLA, an organic skincare company I founded in 2001. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve written a newsletter to my customers on a nearly weekly basis. This practice has led to a surprising wellspring of friendship, community, laughter, commiseration and compassion that I never expected but only want to make more of.

This space is a saltier extension of NAHLA’s newsletter and we’ll cover a lot of ground. Here I’ll share some of my more personal posts on love, parenting, the slippery road to self-acceptance, kismet, aging, trauma recovery, loss, travel, dealing with crazy in-laws, pushing past your limits and whole foods recipes, plus plenty of discerning and unsponsored personal care product recommendations and tried and true wellness tips that have made a difference in my own life.

You’ll also get real world beauty tips from the trenches of middle age (no TikTok nonsense here, loves) and my honest take on everything from cold plunging to celery juice to high frequency facials. Don’t know what the hell a high frequency facial is? I do and I’m here to tell you all about it!

I’d love for you to join me in this exercise in humanity and weird internet friendships.

Love,

Nicole
