"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." -- Charles Dickens
I LOVE THAT YOU COMMENTED THIS ❤️ That is exactly what March weather feels like. Thanks for sharing ✨
Your skin is glowing inside and out :) Thank you for being so honest and open about your skincare journey, makes us normal people feel less self-conscious and reassured when our skin misbehaves!! xxx
Thank you so much, and thanks for saying that! I was really struggling with painful acne all of last year and I'm still working on keeping it clear / healing it now. Thanks for letting me know that you like when I include that stuff in my videos. That's really good to know 🥰
Your videos always have the feel of a Nancy Meyers movie. So lovely. I loved Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. The characters are so real.
Aw thank you! I LOVE Nancy Myers movies so that's a nice compliment 🥰 I felt the same way about the characters! Loved this book so much. Reading anything good now? Need to add to my list 🤗
Love the idea of repurposing failed face products! I’ve been doing the failed face moisturizer to hand cream thing for a few years now too. I love it. It’s so much nicer than the crummy hand creams they give us at work at the hospital. I’ve actually noticed a big difference in my hands not looking as old and beaten up from the constant handwashing.
That's awesome! Great minds think alike lol I know what you mean, it feels so nice to repurpose a face cream and turn it into a hand cream. Feels like such a treat and works well on my hands. Glad you can relate 🥰
Usually Im at home on Sunday mornings having breakfast watching your videos, but today im at work! ( still watching tho😅)
Nice! Hope you have a good day at work! Happy Sunday to you 🤗❤️
Good morning Nicole and have a lovely Sunday and week ahead. Enjoyed and love 🥰 this what Nicole ate in a day video with lots of 😋 treats. There's a fantastic vegan bakery in Aberdeen which I buy from when I visit Aberdeen called Vegan Bay Bakery and the food is delicious. Love 💞 Nicole.
Nice! That sounds so delicious! Happy to hear that you have a nice vegan bakery nearby. That's such a treat ❤️ Hope you have great week! Thanks for your lovely comment David!
I love seeing the places you recommend in NYC, I’m going there for the first time in a few weeks and I made a reservation at Anixi thanks to your vlog! So excited!
Nice! I'm so excited for you! Please report back and let me know what you get 🤗 I thought the Pide with the vegan mozzarella and sunny side up eggs was great, and loved the mezze platter with both the herby pull apart bread and warm pita. We also loved the dessert! Hope you enjoy ❤️
@@NikkiVegan Hi, reporting back after my Anixi experience, my husband and I pretty much got exactly what you said and it was incredible! How lucky for us that vegan khachapuri exists, I can’t wait for those yoeggs to be retailed to more than just restaurants! Thanks again 😊
Eeeeee this made me so happy! I'm thrilled that you had a good time and liked the food there. That's great to hear 🤗 I agree, it will be so nice when those vegan eggs are available. Already dreaming up recipes/meals to make with them lol Thanks for reporting back, this made me smile ❤️ Hope you have a nice Sunday!
We are having a spring snowstorm rtn. I'm not sure how to feel about it. Like, I'm ready for summer, we've had no snow up until now....but it is pretty 😊
That's how I feel about it too! So ready for summer but trying to savor the coziness of chilly weather while it's here
The brazil nut pesto pasta looks so AMAZING!! This would be nice for Easter!!😃❤
Thank you! I LOVE it! And I love the idea of serving it for Easter. I think that sounds great. Hope you enjoy ❤️❤️
@@NikkiVegan Thanks Nikki!
Hi Nikki...always look forward to your videos. Great tips for repurposing skincare ❤❤❤
Thank you! Glad you liked that tip! Thanks for letting me know 🥰❤️ Happy Sunday to you!
Another great video. I am writing down the places you visited for my trip to NYC one day. Thanks!
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that you like these recs. Right now I'd say Tompkins Square Bagels (I get a toasted everything bagel with tofu veggie or tofu scallion cream cheese) Anixi NYC, Little Cupcake Bakeshop, Confectionary, Dirt Candy, and Spicy Moon are my fav vegan spots here so far. I thought Double Zero was ok but I wouldn't put it on the favorites list. Hope that helps! ❤️
I didn’t know you were “starting a starter”! I just started making sourdough, it’s so much fun! I’m sure you have lots of tips and info already but whole grain rye flour is the way to go when you’re building your starter, it’s a game changer. You don’t have to use the same flour for the actual bread dough. :) Have fun!
I didn't know that! Thank you! I'll give that a try bc my starter is struggling. I think it might be too cold in our place. Did you follow a certain schedule or recipe for yours?
@@NikkiVeganYes, absolutely! If yours is weak at the moment, try taking 25g out, putting it in a new (taller) container, feeding it with 75 grams of whole grain wheat or whole grain rye flour, and 75 grams of room temperature, bottled water. Voila, the next day your Saga should be doubled in size and very active! And ready to use! Be sure to mark where it is (after you feed it), with a rubber band, so you can see how far it rises. Good luck, you’ll get it, don’t worry!!
@@denisetemofeew7528 THANK YOU!!! I've seen those taller containers but I wasn't sure if I should be using them. Thank you so much. Do I keep adding the same amount every day or just before baking?
I always look forward to your videos! 💕
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that ❤️❤️ Happy Sunday to you!
Even before your Typology talk, I was thinking, her skin/makeup looks amazing! Thanks for the recommendation and code!
Aw thank you! I think it's honestly the combo of that moisturizer with the combo of the serum + glow drops on top. It's glowy but still looks natural. Hope you enjoy if you try it out ❤️
Nikki! wow- that pesto pasta looks absolutely scrumptious (I love that word🙃) Another wonderful vlog - love “seeing” places in Manhattan/NY. Thanks. - Sonia
Thanks Sonia! I'm so glad you like my vlogs! Hope you enjoy this pesto recipe if you make it at home ❤️
Good morning Nikki, I love ur what I ate in day videos 💓
Thank you Mel! I'm so glad you like them ❤️ Happy Sunday! Sending you love ✨
@@NikkiVegan happy Sunday 🫂
Such a treat to watch your videos and your jacket looked extra cozy! May I ask where it’s from? ❤😊
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked this video. I tried to find a link to the coat but I got it on sale a while ago and thy don't have it anymore. It's from the brand ASOS but I got it at Nordstrom and it's heavy and comfy but not super warm on its own. I got it a few sizes up so I could layer warm sweaters underneath. I've seen similar belted styles on TopShop and Nordstrom though and lots of them are on sale right now since the season is ending. Hope that helps! ❤️
These recipes look yummy😋 I'm looking forward to visiting New York and frequenting your recommendations💜💃🏾Your ring is beautiful💍
Thank you!! And yay! I hope you love visiting NYC. I'd say Tompkins Square Bagels, Anixi, Dirt Candy, Confectionary, and Spicy Moon are top of my list at the moment ❤️ Hope you enjoy!
Those caramels are my favorite in the world but I live on the west coast so I rarely get to have them. You made me so jealous. And that pizza!!! 😮. Love your cozy vibes as always. Pesto is one of my favorite things as well and I’ve never tried one made with Brazil nuts so I’m definitely giving that a try.
Yay! I hope you love the pesto recipe. It's so tasty and comforting. And I wish I could send you some through the screen! They were delicious. Do you have a favorite flavor? There are quite a few I haven't tried
Hey Nicole! I love your vibe and your videos. You always help me feel calmer and cozier. I have to give you a pizza recommendation!! Try Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop in Brooklyn. They have the best vegan pizza I’ve ever found. Try the vegan vidalia and vegan freddie prinze. I live upstate, and their pizza is so good that we take two or three pies home with us to freeze anytime we’re in the city!! ❤
OMG YAY! THANK YOU! I have been in search of great vegan pizza place and this sounds awesome. So smart to take it home and freeze. I'm totally copying that trick from now on if possible lol Thanks again, adding this spot to my list ❤️
Love seeing your RUclips. Thanks.
I'm so glad! Thank you 🤗 Hope you have great day!
I will definitely need to try that Typology concealer when I'm done with my current one. I've wondered before if their skin tint would be enough coverage to even out some redness (the bottle is so classy, I just want it on my dresser 😂), but this gives me hope!
haha I know, I love the packaging 😂 I think it sounds like you might find the tinted serum to be too light for you. It is a tinted serum rather than foundation so the coverage is light. Buildable yes, but still light. I like it for that reason but it might not be right for you. The concealer is nice and not drying which is great. Let me know what you think if you give it try! ❤️❤️
Your skin looks amazing!! Need to try your pesto, I usually make mine with pumpkin seeds 😊
Thank you! It's starting to heal after some pretty painful adult acne last year! And nice, pumpkin seeds are so nutrient dense! Love the idea of using them for pesto. Hope you enjoy if you make the Brazil Nut version too 🥰
I love a good pesto, I'll be making this today❤
Yay! Hope you enjoy ❤️❤️ Excited to hear what you think! Please leave a review on the blog post if you enjoy it. That really helps more people find my recipes 🤗
I made your granola! It is so good! Yum!
Yay! Glad you liked it 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!
You're so dang lucky to live near NYC and all the awesome vegan places there!
I agree! It's been fun to check out new places and more and more are opening up which is encouraging. Yay #teamvegan! Vegan food is definitely not as common here so it can be hard to find, it takes more planning, but there have been some gems ❤️
loved the city edits
CN flavor 😉
well done
Thank you! So glad you liked it 🥰 What's CN mean? ❤
I was referring to your shots of the city in the flavor of Casey Neistat ☺️
Oh thank you! 🤗
I love a good homemade pesto! I foraged some nettle last week to make a soup and have some leftover, so I think I'll incorporate them in your pesto recipe. Until this year, I had no clue how nutrient dense they were; nettles are truly an underrated superfood!
That's so cool that you can forage them! I bet they taste best when they're fresh like that. I don't think I have ever tried nettles but thanks for letting me know. What do they taste like?
@@NikkiVegan it tastes very much like spinach, perhaps a bit punchier, which makes it a great addition to any recipes you'd use spinach for. :)
Good to know! I'm excited to try it!
Great video. I'm making your chicken roasted tempeh recipe again tonight; it's one of my favorites. Do you have a recommendation of where to stay when visiting L.A. or what areas to avoid? I'm going in May and am looking at Westchester and Manhattan beach areas but reviews have been mixed. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy that recipe. That's one of my go-tos as well! And nice, you'll love LA. I would say it depends on what you want to do while you're there. Both of those places are pretty far from the middle of LA so getting around could be tougher. But if you want to be by the beach you could try Santa Monica, Venice, or even Manhattan Beach but that's farther down. If you want to be more in the city part, I'd say West Hollywood is pretty central. I'd recommend Donut Friend for amazing vegan donuts. Pura Vita has good Italian food and Sage Bistro is fun and casual for breakfast-dinner. Crossroads is nice for something more upscale/date night and El Cocinero is a causal spot with amazing tacos. Hope that helps! When are you going?
@@NikkiVegan Thank you for the suggestions; I'm looking at the Sage Bistro menu right now! My trip is in late May; I'm super excited!
Nice! I hope you enjoy and have the best time. May is great time to go 🥰 Let me know what places you end up checking out @@chanc7219
Have you tired Tony Boloney's? They do such good vegan pizzas and on Tuesday they have a vegan taco pizza so good
I have but I haven't tried their taco pizza!! Thanks for letting me know 🤗 I didn't know they do different pizzas on different days
Looks like those are caramels from Lagusta’s Luscious. They are so good and their chocolate is actually ethically sourced. So many “vegan” chocolates are actually sourced from areas w slavery so it’s great to know you can really feel good about their products ❤
Thank you! I'll check them out, that sounds awesome 🤗
I've always heard that due to their very high selenium content, it's actually not recommended to eat more than 1 or 2 Brazil nuts per day or you can overdose on the selenium. Are you sure it's safe to make a pesto out of them?
Good question! The recipe calls for 1/2 cup per lb of pasta so it ends up being a few nuts per serving. I've found that doing that every once in a while (as opposed to every day) is perfectly fine but I'm not an expert so do what you think is best. You can sub cashews or almonds for a similar result ❤️
Love your Eyebrows ❤
Thank you! I started tweezing them a little differently so it's so nice that you noticed 🥰 You made my day! Hope you're having a good one ❤
@@NikkiVegan They Look Amazing! Great job it looks soooo professional 😊
Aw thanks Jamie! 🥰
Love seeing delicious and nutritious plant-based meals being shared in this video! Come join me if you want to discover more about living a compassionate and sustainable lifestyle.
Thank you! I'll check it out ❤️❤️
You make me want to try making pizza and the starter. Why does that freak me out so much? I would love to make a loaf of sourdough but can't wrap my head around the starter😅
That was me too! I'm still figuring out the whole starter thing, I think our apartment might be too cold because it's growing very slowly lol I'll keep you posted and we can learn together ❤️
@@NikkiVegan fantastic!
If you haven't already, you gotta try Screamer's Pizza
No yet but it looks so good! I really want to go there soon! Thanks for letting me know you like it. We were nearby once but the line was long so we went somewhere else. Need to check it out asap, thank you 🥰
❤❤
❤️❤️
Let me know how you like the book it was like a 3.5 stars for me last year
I really enjoyed it! Hard to sum up how I feel about it without spoilers but I felt the characters were very real. Flawed and imperfect, learning and coping as they grew and experienced life. Marx was my favorite. He was so caring and optimistic. And I loved how Sam and Sadie created worlds (games) while simultaneously creating their own lives and identities in the real world (growing up) I thought the book was very creative in parts, like the gates in Japan, the game Sam made to connect with Sadie, and flying over the strawberry fields. Parts of it were very moving and thought provoking. Overall I thought it was unique and special. I'm glad I read it but I have such a hard time rating books! Idk what number I'd give it but it's up there 🥰 What other books have you enjoyed? Looking for some new ones to add to the list 🤗
Yes, I agree. I think my biggest problem with the book was that I found it really hard to like Sadie 🤣
haha same!! I got so frustrated with her and how much she doubted her friend's intentions. That was so hard to read@@laurabogan3021
Squalane is from shark liver oil.
There's squalane and there squalene. One is plant based, one is from sharks. The spelling makes it look so similar though! This one is made from olives and 100% vegan ❤️
Thank you for the clarification!
My pleasure! I was confused too lol they sound so similar
If you're doing weight training, you definitely should try to eat more protein in your diet. I feel like you didn't... so least on this day. All in all, love your videos, Nicole. 🥰
Thanks! I definitely keep it mind when making meals ❤️ What are some of your favorite high protein meals?
Tikka masala with either airfried tofu or tempeh, grated tofu tacos, chili, lentil loaf, etc . I learned a lot of these recipes from you, so pull them out again, girlie!😄 Also, it's important to start your day with more protein, especially since you're lifting weights. When I saw what you had for brekkie, I was like, "She's going to be hungry again real quick like"😅 And you were... thus the banana and nut butter. 😄 So I would say eat a higher protein meal for breakfast. I meal prep breakfast on Sundays for the week...tofu scramble, protein waffles and pancakes, chia pudding with protein powder, etc🫶🏽💓💓
Yum! Love all of those kinds of meals. And grating tofu has been a fun thing to try recently. Such a nice texture! And LOL about the banana and almond butter...you knew! We've been doing big oatmeal bowls cooked with soy milk and topped with yogurt and almond butter, also tofu scramble (but I actually love that as a "breakfast for dinner" kinda thing so we have that on the meal plan this week) and Nicholas really likes the protein waffles from Vans. Have you tried them? They're like frozen Eggo waffles but plant based. Pretty good! Thanks for the recs and ideas! I appreciate you@@sw9868 🥰❤
Loved the book, one of my favorite reads of 2023. Also I am obsessed with Wegmans even though I leave every time thinking how I spent that much money!! 🥲
I agree! Just finished the book today and it was so wonderful. I hope they make it a movie or mini series ❤️ and right?? Wegmans is so nice but pricey. I only got some produce there but it was fun to look around
