As someone who lives in Canada, I find it interesting to watch others who live in different parts of the world, particularly those I haven't been to or perhaps would like to go to one day. I think that's what the average person who watches UA-camrs etc. likes about watching these videos. It's that aspect of "seeing how the other half lives", so to speak. And what one person finds normal & ordinary maybe be completely different than others lives.
Being able to dip,into your life has meant a lot to me over the past two years while I cared for my husband during his cancer treatment and during my first year on my own. I used to share your life with him, telling him what you had been up to, how busy the area is where you live as we both loved our holidays in Italy. So it’s not a waste of time as you bring great joy, especially when you show your everyday life. Your visit to Capri was wonderful and brought back many memories of a holiday with my husband and my parents. ❤
Nicki, you do have an amazing life. I do appreciate your honesty and your wonderful creative energy. Whenever you and Carlo take on a new project, you spend so much time making everything beautiful. And so much of your life is a celebration. The fulness of friends, family, and homelife creates a lovely balance. Yes, you do have an amazing life and it has been built around hard work, determination, and much love. I'm sending everyone loving and peace-filled thoughts.
I think the most interesting people do this for a living! You have to have one for the other to happen. A life worth sharing. I suspect this loving happy couple were living life fully before youtube❤
Nicki, I appreciate how sensitive you are that you're wanting to show different phases & activities in your life, that you're a genuine person & not constantly living a life that's so enviable its not even realistic! Many people would love to create a total facade so people would at least have the impression that they are "living the dream" all the time, just to be envied! I'm really glad that you do you so very well & authentically! 🎉
I think that IS life. You get the fun, special days along with a whole host of normal days! And for me, I watch because I enjoy your ‘everyday’ as much as the ‘special’ days because it’s a different country than mine so even the ordinary, at times, is very different. Thank you, as always, for sharing.
For me personally, I love seeing the fantasy life that I would so love to have. It lets me dream. But I also love the day-to-day of what you do. It lets me feel better about my life. Keep doing it all!! We absolutely love you and your family!!
Nicki you're a lovely person and so down to earth and I want you to know I love your videos, love it when you go home and spend time with your dad. Love it when you cook and it looks so healthy and delicious. I love watching you making your house in Tuscany into a beautiful home. When I watch you doing housework or rearranging the furniture it's like we are hanging out with you. My husband and I were very blessed to visit Italy again and this time the Amalfi coast. Watching you and your friends as you visit Capri etc reminds us how much we loved it. We also love Tuscany and the view from your home is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories with us and for the beautiful places you take us too. Big hugs for you and Carlos. ❤
Your videos represent life in another country that many of us may never visit, and it's a pleasant break from our daily lives no matter what we are going through. I may never experience Italy in person, however it feels like I am right there when I watch your videos.
Nicki, what we love about you is your utter naturalness. UA-cam changes people, particularly as their popularity and channel grows, and it is so refreshing to ‘be around’ someone like you who keeps it real. Never change being you! 🙏🤗
I also love Elizabeth's channel, she is so sweet natured, lovely and adorable. Thank you Nicki for being such a genuine supportive friend to Elisabeth ❤❤❤
When you where with beautiful Elizabeth in that crazy expensive cafe, you where first treating yourself, and that is good because you two deserved, and at the same time you where showing us a reality typical of touristic places in general. I wrote once, and write again, we have much to thank you for showing us another Positano, the locals and their daily life. thank you!!
I found your site during the pandemic out of boredom ,thank goodness your site is so refreshing,not trying to sell stuff ,just being real ,thats why we love you!!!
Hi Nikki, I made your Fudgy Choc Cookies today - WOW, they're beautiful and will certainly be making them again, thank you for sharing this great recipe, I hope you'll do more of it xxx
As an amateur UA-camr, I know how much effort and creativity go into making just one video. I rarely comment, but I’ve been a loyal follower of your channel(s) for many years and truly appreciate all your hard work. Your creativity and effort shine through in every video, much like the perfect batch of cookies where every detail counts! Your videos gave me the courage to start my own channel, and for that, I thank you, Nicki and Carlo! 🙏
Your diaries and videos are a real delight to watch and follow. You both come across very well as does Elizabeth who is such a lovely friend and person.
Only watch You tube channels that share humble & new experiences unfamiliar to me. The world is full of injustice so love experiencing joy along with others. Nikki you (Carlos) are a bright light ☀️ in my days of great physical pain 🇨🇦 ❤
That's how I bake. I put things away as I use them because I tend to get distracted too. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing some of your life with us. Congratulations on the growth of your new channel.
Your cookies look delicious. I'm a chocoholic. I'm going to make them today as we sit and wait for the hurricane to come through. When a storm is coming everyone goes out and buys their stash of goodies to make it through the storm. Most people eat it before the storm makes landfall. We're such weak people. Hahaha. Do not feel bad about what you post. You do not make me feel bad because of the beauty you see and experience. I'm right there with you experiencing it too. You are a joy. Keep up the good work and don't stress. Love you guys.
Hi Nicki. I really enjoy your Positano Diaries and now your new channel.. I lost my wonderful husband 7 yrs ago to a deadly auto-immune disease. He was so vibrant and alive like your amazing husband Carlo. You give me joy! Keep it up and ignore the trolls .
Hi Nikki! I love watching your videos! It gives me a glimpse on your side of the world. I live in San Diego and I don’t think I will ever get to Italy where you are. So the videos you share are so interesting! Keep doing what you love and sharing the sites with us! ❤
My children are mostly on Instagram I'm not really a fan I don't post on there at all! I love your videos and you just so down to earth you and Carlos both. I'm so glad you sharing your recipes with us so yay! Your hair looks lovely and green suits you ♥️
I discovered your channel during Covid ironically just after I had visited Positano ( a month or so before lockdown) and I enjoyed your dreamy videos as a way of escaping BUT I actually just enjoy watching your everyday life content too! (Also subscribed to this channel) I think there are also a lot of people like me who are realistic and know that everyday is not dreamy and just love your content 😊😊
Don't feel bad about showing us the places you visit and things that you do! I really enjoy seeing places that I've never been to and really look forward to your adventures. I loved your book too!
Thanks for your honest comments about instagram and social media. It’s a surreal place to be and I’ve resisted joining Instagram, not sure why, but haven’t. I rarely look at Pinterest anymore…thanks for your UA-cam’s that got me through Covid time and I continue to love sharing a peek into your life! 🕊️
I watch both channels, look forward every Sunday and now this Chanel, you are what you are there is no false hood with you or Carlos. We see a natural honesty about you both. I personally don’t get aw struck by people on TV or Instagram, instagram shows a false happiness . Just carry on being you which I why I watch . Thank you
I remember ‘discovering’ your UA-cam Channel during Covid. Your channel is full of beautiful landscapes and it’s nice to see the slower pace that you show. Obviously the pace of your life could be faster, but the presentation of your channel is soothing. Plus you and Carlo are hilarious together.😂😂
This was a really interesting post. I love to watch your channel… the more ‘normal’ the things that you do, the better. I like to see how mundane things may look different in another part of the world. It is neat to watch you on your road trips ‘home’ to England… I love watching how you handle traveling with dogs (something my husband and I do). I enjoy watching how you break up your trips in interesting little towns. I gasp in awe as you ‘walk’ your dogs on scary cliffs. I enjoy seeing you visit Carlo’s mother. I like to see how you deal with all of those steps. Seriously… just the everyday stuff you do is very interesting! Thanks for sharing your life with us, Nicky and Carlo!
Girl-we LOVE to follow you because you're interesting AND you are real!! ❤❤❤ The everyday stuff in another country is exciting. As karenv from Canada said we might want to visit where other UA-cam people live. Yes, please 🙏 Thanks for all you share ❤❤❤
I really hope internet doesn’t implode!!!! I love to travel on sundays afternoon to Positano and/or Tuscany. I also travel to France, England, Australia and many other places. I have learned so much about the world thanks to the great work you and others do. I also appreciate this new format with you just sharing your vision about “things”, and cooking. It keeps you real and human. Of course you are real and human when going to Capri, or the beach in Positano. That let us dream for a while. But seeing you cooking in your kitchen while I do my dishes puts you in “a best friend level “ 😁😁😁😁
I would love to know what other channels you watch. I also like to travel via UA-cam. I find learning about the daily lives of others fascinating. One particular one I like is Cecelia Blomdahl. She lives on an island near the North Pole with her boyfriend, Christoffer and their dog, Grim. Hope you have a good day ✌🏼
Nicki, I just finished your wonderful book, I loved it!! I hope you will continue to write!! I love just the everyday kinda stuff in a country I will never get to see in person. Your everyday stuff is a lot of peoples vacations
We are a community of old timers who love your videos, a lot. We don’t have instagram because for us, it’s just something we do not need or use. Thank you for your videos, any videos…
As much as I used to love Instagram, I feel it’s changed, like it’s 90 percent advertising, or maybe my peeps are posting less, as am I. Perhaps one day the algorithm will have more balance. Talking about balance, I posted a photo including roses and a few thorns back in the Spring Strangely recently I got brand newfollowers of that photo whose profiles were a series of sexy “model “ type photos. What is THAT exactly? A phenomenon, I suppose. A phase, I hope. Hopefully not AI hitting on my thorny roses😅
Love these new videos! It’s like taking a relationship with a friend to a new level. Please don’t feel you need to apologise for having a beautiful day - to me all your days look beautiful! And that is partly because it is all very natural - or it seems like it - and not too curated - it’s just your life. I think as a creator you should just film what you want to film - because it’s genuine & natural & you & Carlo are so lovely - it all works & never looks showy offy or as if you’re trying to convey anything other than just what is. Keep being you - it works & we love it! ❤️
Nicki, you are a woman of substance, a wife, a mother, a professional, a daughter, sister, friend and amazing you tuber. Can you just always be you. There will always be jealousy, envy, disagreeable people out there, they are the part of the diversity that exist in the world and they have issues, problems that somehow makes them feel justified to be critical. But I am sure that most of your audience genuinely admire what you have accomplished and continue to share on UA-cam. Keep up the great content, I absolutely love it, especially today when I am feeling very sick from the Covid vaccine and the flu shot from last evening. Give Carlo a big hug too. I love your channels and thank you for brightening my day!!!
Honestly, this was a very interesting and relative video. Your insight and opinion about how you experience and contribute to our social media pleasure is important so we have a better perspective about it all. The fact that you don’t want to sensationalize your life by showing both the beauty of it along with its challenges says volumes about you (and Carlo, as well). I love both your channels for different reasons. Keep being you and sharing your thoughts. It’s a joy seeing your post in my inbox every week…a highlight for sure. PS. Cookies look delicious!
Thanks so much for sharing, Nicki! The cookies look amazing and the chat was lovely. I remember when that little clip went viral. I had seen it somewhere else and thought, "That looks like Nicki's house!" Little did I know, you have blown up online! I love seeing all the little moments in your life: the mundane, the fabulous, and everything in between.
I first saw the video pop up on my youtube feed a couple years ago. I was already a subscriber to your channel and when I saw the thumbnail I recognized the door and the stairway and thought "OMG that's Nicki and Carlo's house!" 🤣 I love the video as I am a big fan of heavy rain and thunderstorms. (As long as the water isn't seeping into the house!!) It's probably a fairly common sight for you and Carlo when there's heavy rain, but it was a big "WOW" to the rest of us. It's amazing how water seeks the path of least resistance. To me it's quite beautiful. 🥰
Nicky, I think you can see by all the positive and lovely comments on here how much people love your channels. This new channel is a dream, it makes me (and probably lots of others from their comments) feel like we have a friend in the house having a chat. It’s lovely to ‘share’ your life - it’s like having a whole other family as a friend. X
I will not bake the cookies...because I'm currently having a horrible time trying to get my sugar balanced. But they looked delicious. I love all your videos. I used to be on facebook and instagram, but no longer. I think many of us are having to dial back the social media for sanity. I do still watch youtube because of my favorite people like you and Carlo. If I ever get to Italy, I sure would love to meet you. I have been following a long time, and can't be sure how I came upon your channel. But since finding yours, I now follow several others that you introduced us to like Sara & Luca, Julie Viscountess, Elizabeth, and others. I am so glad to still have the opportunity to see you all and enjoy your side of the world.
I have challenges balancing my blood sugar, too. Earlier this year I got a Free Libre3 monitor. You affix it to your upper arm and it hooks up by Bluetooth to your phone. You can get a glucose reading anytime you want it 24/7 just by looking at your phone. It has helped me bring my A1C down to 7.1 in just a few months. If there’s any way you can get this type of monitor I highly recommend it. This is covered by my insurance. Good luck getting your blood sugar stabilized. The struggle is real 🫶🏼
You should be proud of yourself, Nicki! You’ve moved to a different country, raised beautiful children, successful in your careers, be it your makeup, or You Tube channels, and a lovely relationship with Carlos! Most importantly, you’ve managed to be your own person and maintain it! I like watching your channels because, the simplicity of the way you live has a calming effect on me. Definitely puts a smile on my face and look forward to seeing your videos whenever they come out.
What I love the most about your videos is that they are real; you are not constantly showing us a fantasy world of perfection. Instead, I feel as though we are friends, and that my life can me exciting and fun like yours is.
Nikki, I think you do a great job balancing the everyday things you do with the fabulous hours/days when you get do do something extrodinary!! Its because of where you live and the goegepus views you have that add an extra level of excitement for us. And the way you describe the way of life in a Positano during the on and off seasons is wonderful. Thanks so much, and please don’t stress over it!! Your videos are “perfect just the way they are”! 💙💙💙🙏🏻🌎☮️☘️
From one Nicky to another, I dont thjnk you understand the impact you have on people. You are the highlight to my Mondays , I’ve always wanted to live in Italy and I’m vicariously living through you. 😂 love the new channel x
I think your perspective is right on because you didn’t start this at a very young age so you have the wisdom to see what really matters in life. Your work ethic is great but you know that you have to smell the roses. You do both beautifully!
I love slice of life vlogs. I find pretty much everything about everyone interesting to some degree. I stick around when I really appreciate the person’s humor, outlook, sensibilities etc. I really enjoys just hanging in the kitchen and listening to how it is having what I would consider such an active social media presence. I do so enjoy both of your channels and IG.
I loved that shot of you looking back at Capri!!! No need to feel guilty, it was a lovely shot! Enjoyed the video and your & your friends escapades there!!
As a new habit, when using recipes I always convert to grams. As an American living in the EU I find in so much easier to use grams for consistency, especially baking. I also place the items away that I’ve already used in the recipe as I have made a few a few errors. Thanks for making me smile. Keith
Thanks for the fab recipe. Loving the new channel and the casual chat it brings. You are doing amazing things at your house in Tuscany, it was great to see your lovely dad got to enjoy it too.
You are so lovely!❤🎉❤ Keep being you. That's why i watch and re-watch ALL your amazing videos! Moving to italy in the very near future. Your videos have really helped me so much in understanding what to expect. Carlo and his beautiful italian have also been instrumental in my year-long journey to learn the language. It really helps to listen to him and get the cadence and speech pattern as close as i can to authentic. I love you guys!!!❤ please give Holly and Indie a kiss from me!😂🎉❤
I love watching your videos and seeing your Instagram posts as it’s a form of escapism from ‘real life’. I watch them and feel refreshed and energised after a long day at work. I visited the Amalfi Coast in 2021 and watching your videos brings back such fond memories!
Hi Nicki, It's Marie from Melbourne, Australia. I have been watching Positano Diaries for a while now and really enjoy your content in Positano and Tuscany. It is one of my favourite channels to watch. As I am from an Italian background, I love seeing the places you film in Italy and hearing yourself and Carlo speak Italian. Your new channel is really good - Aperitivo 50 and I am enjoying the content you post too. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making the videos. Regards to yourself and Carlo. P.S. I love the green top you were wearing yesterday. It looks really pretty.
Same. Here. U tube only No social media Love watching niki and Carlo and their life in two parts of Italy. As I never will see other in real life. It is fun watching niki talk about her life Keep up the good
I remember that video of the water falling down the steps beside your home in Positano so well. My daughter and I enjoyed it and having travelled to Positano (staying in Nocelle to be exact), we were astonished at the amount of rain you received. This video was so interesting to hear the backstory behind that! I loved your down to earth talk about Instagram, followers and such (while making cookies no less!) It really is exciting to see the lives and experiences of others, but the number of followers we have should not define us. For me, the joy lies in sharing my experiences with others, seeing their experiences and then getting to meet them in real life like you said! That's the best part! Anyway, thanks for the cookie recipe. I'm a chocoholic so these are right up my alley! :)
I was amazed how you managed to chat away as you were making those choc cookies, I always have to concentrate when I’m doing a recipe even if I’ve made it a load of times or I will forget to put something in. I love watching your videos but I am really enjoying these shorter chatty ones as well 😊
I like these short videos the bonus on this one is another cookie recipe that my husband will love. Your videos are like having a favorite friend visiting that always has the best stories to share. I can see why your waterfall steps video went viral it was the perfect storm of rain,weather and beauty all mixed together.
Nicki there is balance in your videos ,love watching you & your family & I’m also watching Elizabeth 😊, love that you show the the exciting /fun & normal times with both you ladies.
I love the way you dump flour on the counter!!😂. Your new Chanel is great, I also LOVED the white dress! When you live in a beautiful place, you take beautiful pictures!!
As someone who lives in Canada, I find it interesting to watch others who live in different parts of the world, particularly those I haven't been to or perhaps would like to go to one day. I think that's what the average person who watches UA-camrs etc. likes about watching these videos. It's that aspect of "seeing how the other half lives", so to speak. And what one person finds normal & ordinary maybe be completely different than others lives.
As a fellow Canadian, I fully concur with you❤
@@sunnyrlc4411me too❤
True for me too. Rhode Island, USA
Ditto, a fellow Canadian.
Yes, I also enjoy that aspect (from Texas, United States!)
Being able to dip,into your life has meant a lot to me over the past two years while I cared for my husband during his cancer treatment and during my first year on my own. I used to share your life with him, telling him what you had been up to, how busy the area is where you live as we both loved our holidays in Italy. So it’s not a waste of time as you bring great joy, especially when you show your everyday life. Your visit to Capri was wonderful and brought back many memories of a holiday with my husband and my parents. ❤
I’m so very sorry for your loss 🙏🏼
Fame is fleeting, but a great chocolate cookie touches the divine.
So true.😂😂😂😂😂
I only follow you on UA-cam, am not on any other social media. One addiction is enough! And I really look forward to your Positano and Tuscany videos.
Same here
Totally agree with you, just YT, one addiction is enough! LOL
Same. UA-cam is enough for me 👋
Me too lol...
I’m enjoying your new channel of chats and everyday things.
Hello 👋🏻
Oh I love this chatty relaxed kitchen chatting with friends vibe Nicki.😊Love it!!!!
Hi there
This was delightful, Nicki! You're so natural on screen. I love the Positano Diaries and your friendly chats on Aperitivo are a welcome addition.
Hello 👋🏻
Everyone gets a pretty day once in a while! Cherish that memory and don't worry so much!
Absolutely!
I remember that video. It was so pretty and surreal looking with the Blue door.
I had a vivid memory of that video, likely because the stair waterfall seemed so incongruous.
Nicki, you do have an amazing life. I do appreciate your honesty and your wonderful creative energy. Whenever you and Carlo take on a new project, you spend so much time making everything beautiful. And so much of your life is a celebration. The fulness of friends, family, and homelife creates a lovely balance. Yes, you do have an amazing life and it has been built around hard work, determination, and much love.
I'm sending everyone loving and peace-filled thoughts.
Hi Nicki, thank you (always) for your honesty. You are everyone's dear friend!
It's crazy how few realize that your videos is your job that allowes you to live your happy, wonderful life.
I think the most interesting people do this for a living! You have to have one for the other to happen. A life worth sharing. I suspect this loving happy couple were living life fully before youtube❤
Nicki, I appreciate how sensitive you are that you're wanting to show different phases & activities in your life, that you're a genuine person & not constantly living a life that's so enviable its not even realistic!

I wrote once, and write again, we have much to thank you for showing us another Positano, the locals and their daily life.
thank you!!
Nicki back again with the relatable baking content, those cookies look great!
My motto through life is, "What you see is what you get." Keep it real! That's what I like to see.
Hi 👋🏻
I found your site during the pandemic out of boredom ,thank goodness your site is so refreshing,not trying to sell stuff ,just being real ,thats why we love you!!!

Don't feel bad about showing us the places you visit and things that you do! I really enjoy seeing places that I've never been to and really look forward to your adventures. I loved your book too!
I love how grounded and honest you are, Nicki. I think that's why people are drawn to you 🤩
I remember seeing that reel of your door and the stair waterfall and the immediate recognition from your youtube channel 😊
Thanks for your honest comments about instagram and social media. It’s a surreal place to be and I’ve resisted joining Instagram, not sure why, but haven’t. I rarely look at Pinterest anymore…thanks for your UA-cam’s that got me through Covid time and I continue to love sharing a peek into your life! 🕊️

Love the green top color for you Nicki. So happy you’ve got your new channel. I’m sure it’s going to boom!! 👍
Thank you nicki that was delightful to hear from you in the middle of the week love it cookies looked great enjoy until Sunday stay well
Girl-we LOVE to follow you because you're interesting AND you are real!! ❤❤❤
The everyday stuff in another country is exciting. As karenv from Canada said we might want to visit where other UA-cam people live. Yes, please 🙏 Thanks for all you share ❤❤❤
I remember that gorgeous waterfall. The flowers, and blue door was spectacular 💙.
I really hope internet doesn’t implode!!!! I love to travel on sundays afternoon to Positano and/or Tuscany. I also travel to France, England, Australia and many other places. I have learned so much about the world thanks to the great work you and others do. I also appreciate this new format with you just sharing your vision about “things”, and cooking. It keeps you real and human. Of course you are real and human when going to Capri, or the beach in Positano. That let us dream for a while. But seeing you cooking in your kitchen while I do my dishes puts you in “a best friend level “ 😁😁😁😁
I would love to know what other channels you watch. I also like to travel via UA-cam. I find learning about the daily lives of others fascinating. One particular one I like is Cecelia Blomdahl. She lives on an island near the North Pole with her boyfriend, Christoffer and their dog, Grim. Hope you have a good day ✌🏼
I am so glad you started this one, I am enjoying it/ I hope it takes off for you. love watching you.
Nicki, I just finished your wonderful book, I loved it!! I hope you will continue to write!! I love just the everyday kinda stuff in a country I will never get to see in person. Your everyday stuff is a lot of peoples vacations
Nickie your natural outlook on life and living is very friendly and very enjoyable to view, So please dont stop..😂😂😂❤❤❤
We are a community of old timers who love your videos, a lot. We don’t have instagram because for us, it’s just something we do not need or use. Thank you for your videos, any videos…
I'm sending you love from another old-timer.
Me too! I don’t have anything but text, email and UA-cam! I don’t have any other social media accounts.
As much as I used to love Instagram, I feel it’s changed, like it’s 90 percent advertising, or maybe my peeps are posting less, as am I. Perhaps one day the algorithm will have more balance.
Talking about balance, I posted a photo including roses and a few thorns back in the Spring Strangely recently I got brand newfollowers of that photo whose profiles were a series of sexy “model “ type photos. What is THAT exactly? A phenomenon, I suppose. A phase, I hope. Hopefully not AI hitting on my thorny roses😅
Love these new videos! It’s like taking a relationship with a friend to a new level.
Please don’t feel you need to apologise for having a beautiful day - to me all your days look beautiful!
And that is partly because it is all very natural - or it seems like it - and not too curated - it’s just your life. I think as a creator you should just film what you want to film - because it’s genuine & natural & you & Carlo are so lovely - it all works & never looks showy offy or as if you’re trying to convey anything other than just what is. Keep being you - it works & we love it! ❤️
Ps am literally going to make those cookies NOW. I have everything except the choc chips so no reason not to!
Hi Nicki! Please continue with more stories of your experiences as a UA-camr. Thanks! 🌸🌸🌸
Love your honesty Nicky.
Nicki, you are a woman of substance, a wife, a mother, a professional, a daughter, sister, friend and amazing you tuber. Can you just always be you. There will always be jealousy, envy, disagreeable people out there, they are the part of the diversity that exist in the world and they have issues, problems that somehow makes them feel justified to be critical. But I am sure that most of your audience genuinely admire what you have accomplished and continue to share on UA-cam. Keep up the great content, I absolutely love it, especially today when I am feeling very sick from the Covid vaccine and the flu shot from last evening. Give Carlo a big hug too. I love your channels and thank you for brightening my day!!!
Honestly, this was a very interesting and relative video. Your insight and opinion about how you experience and contribute to our social media pleasure is important so we have a better perspective about it all. The fact that you don’t want to sensationalize your life by showing both the beauty of it along with its challenges says volumes about you (and Carlo, as well). I love both your channels for different reasons. Keep being you and sharing your thoughts. It’s a joy seeing your post in my inbox every week…a highlight for sure. PS. Cookies look delicious!
Thanks so much for sharing, Nicki! The cookies look amazing and the chat was lovely. I remember when that little clip went viral. I had seen it somewhere else and thought, "That looks like Nicki's house!" Little did I know, you have blown up online! I love seeing all the little moments in your life: the mundane, the fabulous, and everything in between.
I first saw the video pop up on my youtube feed a couple years ago. I was already a subscriber to your channel and when I saw the thumbnail I recognized the door and the stairway and thought "OMG that's Nicki and Carlo's house!" 🤣 I love the video as I am a big fan of heavy rain and thunderstorms. (As long as the water isn't seeping into the house!!) It's probably a fairly common sight for you and Carlo when there's heavy rain, but it was a big "WOW" to the rest of us. It's amazing how water seeks the path of least resistance. To me it's quite beautiful. 🥰
Nicky, I think you can see by all the positive and lovely comments on here how much people love your channels. This new channel is a dream, it makes me (and probably lots of others from their comments) feel like we have a friend in the house having a chat. It’s lovely to ‘share’ your life - it’s like having a whole other family as a friend. X
I will not bake the cookies...because I'm currently having a horrible time trying to get my sugar balanced. But they looked delicious. I love all your videos. I used to be on facebook and instagram, but no longer. I think many of us are having to dial back the social media for sanity. I do still watch youtube because of my favorite people like you and Carlo. If I ever get to Italy, I sure would love to meet you. I have been following a long time, and can't be sure how I came upon your channel. But since finding yours, I now follow several others that you introduced us to like Sara & Luca, Julie Viscountess, Elizabeth, and others. I am so glad to still have the opportunity to see you all and enjoy your side of the world.
I have challenges balancing my blood sugar, too. Earlier this year I got a Free Libre3 monitor. You affix it to your upper arm and it hooks up by Bluetooth to your phone. You can get a glucose reading anytime you want it 24/7 just by looking at your phone. It has helped me bring my A1C down to 7.1 in just a few months. If there’s any way you can get this type of monitor I highly recommend it. This is covered by my insurance. Good luck getting your blood sugar stabilized. The struggle is real 🫶🏼
Always love your chats 😊❤ thank you Nicki 🤗 much love to you and Carlo!
Little moments of joy. I love that. ❤ I’ll definitely try the cookies. Yum…
You should be proud of yourself, Nicki! You’ve moved to a different country, raised beautiful children, successful in your careers, be it your makeup, or You Tube channels, and a lovely relationship with Carlos! Most importantly, you’ve managed to be your own person and maintain it! I like watching your channels because, the simplicity of the way you live has a calming effect on me. Definitely puts a smile on my face and look forward to seeing your videos whenever they come out.
What I love the most about your videos is that they are real; you are not constantly showing us a fantasy world of perfection. Instead, I feel as though we are friends, and that my life can me exciting and fun like yours is.
I am enjoying your new channel Nikki, loving the casual chats :)
Nikki, I think you do a great job balancing the everyday things you do with the fabulous hours/days when you get do do something extrodinary!! Its because of where you live and the goegepus views you have that add an extra level of excitement for us. And the way you describe the way of life in a Positano during the on and off seasons is wonderful. Thanks so much, and please don’t stress over it!! Your videos are “perfect just the way they are”! 💙💙💙🙏🏻🌎☮️☘️
From one Nicky to another, I dont thjnk you understand the impact you have on people. You are the highlight to my Mondays , I’ve always wanted to live in Italy and I’m vicariously living through you. 😂 love the new channel x
I think your perspective is right on because you didn’t start this at a very young age so you have the wisdom to see what really matters in life. Your work ethic is great but you know that you have to smell the roses. You do both beautifully!
Thanks for that great brownies recipe,,your videos are always fun to watch on both channels ❤
Enjoyed the chat time. Lovely as usual , thank you Nicki
Butter, sugar and chocolate!! Sounds like my kind of cookie lol
I love slice of life vlogs. I find pretty much everything about everyone interesting to some degree. I stick around when I really appreciate the person’s humor, outlook, sensibilities etc. I really enjoys just hanging in the kitchen and listening to how it is having what I would consider such an active social media presence. I do so enjoy both of your channels and IG.
Happy to see your videos twice a week.
Thank you for being normal ❤
Glad to spend time with you during the week❤
I loved that shot of you looking back at Capri!!! No need to feel guilty, it was a lovely shot! Enjoyed the video and your & your friends escapades there!!
You and Carlos are a joy to watch
As a new habit, when using recipes I always convert to grams. As an American living in the EU I find in so much easier to use grams for consistency, especially baking. I also place the items away that I’ve already used in the recipe as I have made a few a few errors. Thanks for making me smile. Keith
Thanks for the fab recipe. Loving the new channel and the casual chat it brings. You are doing amazing things at your house in Tuscany, it was great to see your lovely dad got to enjoy it too.
Love the new channel!
Really like the green shirt you're wearing here. Where is it available?
You are so lovely!❤🎉❤
Keep being you. That's why i watch and re-watch ALL your amazing videos! Moving to italy in the very near future. Your videos have really helped me so much in understanding what to expect. Carlo and his beautiful italian have also been instrumental in my year-long journey to learn the language. It really helps to listen to him and get the cadence and speech pattern as close as i can to authentic. I love you guys!!!❤ please give Holly and Indie a kiss from me!😂🎉❤
I love watching your videos and seeing your Instagram posts as it’s a form of escapism from ‘real life’. I watch them and feel refreshed and energised after a long day at work. I visited the Amalfi Coast in 2021 and watching your videos brings back such fond memories!
Hi Nicki, It's Marie from Melbourne, Australia. I have been watching Positano Diaries for a while now and really enjoy your content in Positano and Tuscany. It is one of my favourite channels to watch. As I am from an Italian background, I love seeing the places you film in Italy and hearing yourself and Carlo speak Italian. Your new channel is really good - Aperitivo 50 and I am enjoying the content you post too. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making the videos. Regards to yourself and Carlo. P.S. I love the green top you were wearing yesterday. It looks really pretty.
I remember that gutsy drive by your self. We were all so proud of you. Oh yeah the blue door vlog
I am enjoying your new channel. Thank you for the recipe and for sharing all your adventures. We all owe it to ourselves to live well.
Really enjoy this format. Thanks
Same. Here. U tube only
No social media
Love watching niki and Carlo and their life in two parts of Italy. As I never will see other in real life. It is fun watching niki talk about her life
Keep up the good
I remember that video of the water falling down the steps beside your home in Positano so well. My daughter and I enjoyed it and having travelled to Positano (staying in Nocelle to be exact), we were astonished at the amount of rain you received. This video was so interesting to hear the backstory behind that! I loved your down to earth talk about Instagram, followers and such (while making cookies no less!) It really is exciting to see the lives and experiences of others, but the number of followers we have should not define us. For me, the joy lies in sharing my experiences with others, seeing their experiences and then getting to meet them in real life like you said! That's the best part! Anyway, thanks for the cookie recipe. I'm a chocoholic so these are right up my alley! :)
Love watching longer-chit chat videos of you!!
Your new kitchen looks so good, tile, shelf, paint and ovens, plant, etc.
Not to worry. You're real and honest and lovely. A breath of fresh air.
I was amazed how you managed to chat away as you were making those choc cookies, I always have to concentrate when I’m doing a recipe even if I’ve made it a load of times or I will forget to put something in. I love watching your videos but I am really enjoying these shorter chatty ones as well 😊
You look so good today! Loving the hair!
I like these short videos the bonus on this one is another cookie recipe that my husband will love. Your videos are like having a favorite friend visiting that always has the best stories to share. I can see why your waterfall steps video went viral it was the perfect storm of rain,weather and beauty all mixed together.
Nicki there is balance in your videos ,love watching you & your family & I’m also watching Elizabeth 😊, love that you show the the exciting /fun & normal times with both you ladies.
I wish my hair would grow long and pretty like yours. At 64, it’s all but stopped. Love the new channel!
I love the way you dump flour on the counter!!😂. Your new Chanel is great, I also LOVED the white dress! When you live in a beautiful place, you take beautiful pictures!!
