A few years back I sent a BLACK FRIDAY FAVORITES email chock full of my most beloved products. Folks loved it so here we are again…
FIFTEEN OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
Oprah has her list and I have mine.
Some of these items I receive commission on, some I do not.
I share this lovingly because I have a big mouth and it thrills me to talk about what works…
If you’re new to my list, you can look back through my other substacks and see this is not my usual shtick but at this time of year it’s nice to share the good word.
Feel free to take a peek - I stand by either the brand or the products and hopefully both. Reply here if you have questions…
Enjoy.
QUALIA MIND // SENOLYTICS: Use this LINK. Use this code NICOLE.
I sound like a broken record AND I don’t care. I love this product so much, I can’t share it enough. Qualia Mind is my absolute go-to for clarity, swift recall, focus, supplemental brain health and drive. The development team at Qualia rigorously evaluated countless ingredients to formulate this synergistic blend, ensuring each component works in concert with the others. It now contains 32 premium brain boosters such as:
Ginkgo Biloba and Alpha GPC..
Celastrus seed extract, revered in Ayurvedic tradition.
Rhodiola root extract, celebrated for enhancing mental stamina.
Cognizin, a clinically studied form of citicoline known to boost attention and recall.
If you’ve ever fasted and brought your body into a state of Ketosis you may be familiar with the feeling of a super charged brain. It’s truly how I feel when taking Qualia consistently.
Qualia Senolytics are another super fab product. A BIG reason we start to literally feel past our prime in our 30’s and 40’s, is senescent cell accumulation. Senescent cells are also known as zombie cells. They’re old worn out cells no longer performing a useful function for your health, wasting your energy and nutrition. And accelerating your aging process. The good news is science has FINALLY discovered a group of plant-derived ingredients called senolytics, to help your body eliminate senescent cells. Qualia Senolytic is a clinically tested vegan formula that combines 9 research-backed senolytic ingredients to help SLAY your zombie cells fast, so you can feel in your prime again. Younger feeling joints, faster workout recovery, youthful energy levels “Health and Wellness” runs far deeper than the body, and when you get brain health right, every aspect of your life will reward you for it.
THE ARYUVEDA EXPERIENCE SKINCARE: Use this LINK. No personal code needed.
This DAY & NIGHT oil is my all time fav, fav, fav!! I’ve referred this combo to so many friends and was so grateful to my facialist Nina for telling me about it years ago. It’s affordable, it’s natural, it’s made by a company that stands behind their products and uses ancient aryuvedic wisdom to formulate each batch. I also use this Black Gram Booster in place of or with body lotion and it makes hydrates, nourishes your skin for the silkiest glow. This is hands down the biggest sale of the year and the time to grab it all. I’m honestly tweaking looking at these prices. LOL It’s so exciting.
GAIT HAPPENS: Use this LINK. Use this code NicoleS10.
Wait till my podcast episode drops with Dr. Jen Perez and we get to jabbering about ALL THINGS FEET. It’s such a testament to the value in beginning your foot fetish love affair today. I always say your feet are the first line of communication to the terrain and the world beneath you, it makes sense to prioritize them, learn about them, support them and train them. I know they have a super sick product coming out soon and I get to be one of the first to share it with my community. Follow them, check out their memberships, virtual consultations, and stick around so you can hear about what’s coming…
CLEAN PEOPLE: Use this LINK. No personal code.
I have no clue how I found this company but Lordy do I LOVE their laundry sheets. No plastics, no dyes, no strange perfumes and if it can clean MY CLOTHES, it can clean anything. As the self proclaimed SWEATIEST human, I’m the perfect spokesperson. I do like the dryer sheets but often don’t use them. My favorite is the “BABY SCENT” and I auto subscribe for convenience. Let me know what you think and congrats on being SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN, CLEAN.
PROLON: Use this LINK. Use this code NICOLEFMD.
The best RESET for your dietary habits of overindulging in foods that do not support your well being. This 5 day mimicking fast will not only have you reassessing your relationship with food, it will help you move into autophagy where your bodies cells can clean house by using old dysfunctional cells as energy. It’s a great jump off for ketosis. Dr. Valter Longo, creator of PROLON FMD, has tested the science, benefits, and value behind fasting. His . I’ve completed 8 rounds of this program and every time it’s been a wildly different experience. All the soups and crackers, olives and snacks, teas and supplements you need are included in the 5 day Fasting Box. The deals and savings offered are found in the LINK ABOVE. Grab one, or two or more and watch what happens on day six.
AVIATOR NATION: Use this LINK. No personal code but you can practice yoga with me here at SANTA MONICA AVIATOR NATION RIDE. Saturdays 9am and 10:15am and Sundays 10:45am.
We all know the Aviator Nation clothes are super cozy and not cheap. Her Black Friday deals offer great savings plus most things sell out and are not always restocked. She is consistently dropping new styles which is cool but if you like something, now is the time to grab it. See you in yoga class at RIDE this weekend.
BC STRENGTH: Use this LINK. No personal code but Black Friday Sale is happening…
The only GLUTE LOOP / BOOTY BAND you’ll ever need and despise, all at the same time. Brett Contreras has a PH.D in booties and his products do not disappoint. They are well made, stay in place, and come with an insane amount of resistance. I tell my clients to only buy S/M bands if you are 5’2 and under. The S/M size is very restrictive, so much so I can barely get it over my thighs (I’m 5’8, 153lbs). My suggestion is size M/L for everyone else. Size 1 is friendliest, size 2 is uncomfortably manageable, and size 3 is Satan’s choice. Good luck.
YUMMY MUMMY: Use this LINK. Use this code NICOLE250
Laura Conley is a Unicorn. She’ll talk about how we all think we are special unicorns, unable to lose weight for the last time, however she proves everyone (myself included) wrong on a regular basis. I say SHE IS a unicorn because her energy, drive, passion, wisdom and coaching skills are UNICORN-Y. hahaha. She is the real deal.
The Yummy Mummy Method teaches you how to lose weight for the last time (guaranteed!) and end food chatter so you can live your best life once and for all (all while having fun along the way!).
It is different from any program out there because we focus on science backed strategies that actually work, like:
- hunger hormone balance (no more calorie or marco counting or tracking!)
- mindset (if you feel like you know all the things but you still aren't at your happy weight THIS is the missing piece!)
- emotional intelligence (if hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution, we learn how to feel instead of eat)
- daily loving accountability (there is proof that when you are accountable you achieve what you want!)
- becoming your own bestie (you can't hate yourself thin! it doesn't work!)
Each Experience is 6 months of group coaching, coursework and a private community. This is the new and unique solution you thought didn't exist! Borrow Laura’s belief (and my belief as well) in you that you really can do it and let’s freaking go babe!! All unicorns welcome.
GO METHODOLOGY (CA only): Use this LINK. Use this code NICOLE52AE
I loooooove this meal delivery program. The recipes are so creative and the food is always fresh and tasty. I have tried many different meal delivery programs but this one is unparalleled in flavor creations and value. It’s not super cheap but the value is there. I wish they delivered nationwide with the same nuance they have avail for CA residents but if you’re curious, check them out and use my code to save some dolla dolla bills.
YOLKED: A children’s book about taking chances. Use this LINK.
No personal code because it’s my book and I don’t know how to do that. Thanks for all the support. This is a great stocking stuffer for ages 4-9. The hardcopy is my favorite.
COZY EARTH: Use this LINK. Use this code NICLE9461.
A freshly made bed with Cozy Earth bamboo sheets is heaven on earth. The second best thing to heaven on Earth is 45% off of Cozy Earth bamboo sheets. Use my code above (it’s time sensitive - maybe 5 more days) and grab all your Christmas gifts and fresh sheets. I can’t tell you how excited I get plopping into bed and pulling the covers up. I’ve stayed in some NICE places with the best accommodations and my Cozy Earth bamboo sheets surpass them all. You spend 1/4 of your life (maybe more) in your bed. Why not up level your nightly voyage with the best sheets on earth.
SPLITS59: Use this LINK. No personal code but Black Friday sale is happening.
Nine out of 10 of my leggings are from SPLITS59. I’ve partnered with them for years and have seen the brand grow and expand. I can attest to the brand ethos and the products themselves. I am also a wear tester and send HARDCORE feedback on new and upcoming styles and fabrics every quarter. This has provided me with an opportunity to speak for the customer and I’m so thankful they are always working to make epic products that deliver value and are built to last.
SLEEP AND GLOW: Use this LINK. Use code BF10
When influencing changes your life…LOL.
I was sent this Omnia pillow in late 2018 and holy smokes did I fall in love. This pillow has changed a bit over time, but I own 2 now and couldn’t be happier. It’s for SIDE SLEEPERS…they have other styles too. The neck support is perfect, the cut outs keep you from developing sleep wrinkles, and the pillow case fabrics are divine. I reached out to them again and we haven’t been in touch but I’m forever grateful they found ME because my sleep is so important and these pillows are worth every penny. Hope you enjoy. Sweet dreams…
VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY: Use this LINK. No personal code.
Well, she did it. She said I’ll be a SPICE GIRL and an EYELINER WHISPERER. This Satan Kajal liner is all you’ll ever need ladies. It’s liner, it’s shadow, it’s long lasting, blendable and just awesome. I now own four because I’m insane and so impressed (except for the color FIG. It’s a different texture and presents almost wet. Not a fan. It’s too bad but now you know.) I use Cocoa, Orchid, and Cinnamon all the time. You can have my Fig pencil because meh. LOL
I also wanna give a second place shout out to Laura Mercier Caviar Stick (use this link) in Cocoa. It’s $10 cheaper and very similar (IMO it’s just as good). Posh Spice has more color options, a thinner point for precision and I like the blender brush on the end. That’s why the Spice Girl is in first place. I’m not a makeup conspiracy theorist but I’m wondering if these two companies aren’t using the same factory and just changing the labels…Either way, enjoy.
This concludes my BLACK FRIDAY DEALS email and we’ll be back to my usual rumblings and ramblings next week.
