Thanks for watching the video This used to be the best festival in Positano
Just adore your transparent honesty and being so vulnerable 😂 Perfect… why I love to watch your vlogs
So true!🫶🏼
...and she is just SO beautiful and, could you believe it, but she is even more lovely and attractive because of her authenticity/open heart!
I do not think we get transparent honesty .I think we are told a narrative she wants us to believe to help benefit her lifestyle Vlog and income.I get that though ,but it’s reactionary and contrived don’t be taken in , accept and enjoy for what it is.
I love how humble and simple you are Nicki .... ur not ashamed to show us your flaws .... ur Real and inspiring
....your light inside shine bright and definitly you dont look your age .... your spirit is lik a Child....so fresh and so necessary in a world full of pebbles ur a precious gem Nicki .... much love from Brazil 🇧🇷 Gratitude 🙏🏻❤🌻🇧🇷😘
She is quite a Gift, isn't she?! We are lucky to be able to know them, even from afar! Carlo is also
a wonderful man, so together, it is Magic.
Is simple really a compliment lol
Nicki, never change.. unless you want to
@@kc-xb9dr Guess Simple here means natural. Not putting on airs to suit an image but having ability to be yourself.
I love how you and Carlo giggle when you are teasing each other!!! You have a healthy, wonderful relationship!!! Great dog food recipe!!!!
Carlo getting stuck in the pool when he went the opposite direction is hilarious! 😂Thank you, Nicki for this WONDERFUL channel. I discovered you 3 years ago, and I love to virtually escape to the Amalfi Coast (and other places you travel to) especially during the BRUTAL winters here. Sending ❤❤❤ from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA
Thank you for sharing the yogurt recipe! I didn’t realize how easy it was to make!
"There are bigger things to worry about"... than images of normal legs of an adult woman. Good for you Nicki!!
The well lit photo was very nice though 😉
Notice how Carlo always smiles when he is going to eat or have eaten 🥰:) delicious food….don’t need to be a fancy food, just good taste 🥰 that makes me smile too ❤️:) lovely evening to you both ❤️
Love Carlo
Nikki. And Carlo. I love how real you both are. Thank you Nikki for showing us how lighting changes things. I hope bad lighting is to blame for my recent photos lol.
❤
In Positano now. Keeping my eyes open and hoping to run into you and Carlo!😎
Say hi 👋 for us if you do ❤
Right on, Nicki for being real! Many of us are having the same leg problems but it’s not a problem unless we give into the pressures to look perfect. Better to live our lives and accept the bodies that we are given at the different stages in our lives. Enjoy your shorts and enjoy your life! Life is too short to worry about such trivial things. Carlo had better watch out about your memory. It will happen to him too! Push him in the pool 😂. Lovely to watch your routines. Thanks for sharing. 💖
😄🥰
I applaud the festival vendors for the extreme efforts they go through for this event. It must be much more costly and physically challenging to pay the restaurateurs for cooking the food, and then they have to physically haul it to the site. What happens when they run out of food? They must be very passionate about this annual event and could not wait another decade.
I live in Italy vicariously by watching your videos every Sunday morning! It's become a thing with me and my two barn dogs! It's so funny when my dogs hear yours barking they go tearing off barking like crazy looking for the dogs they know they've just heard! Then they'll come running back into the barn and look at me like... Are we crazy? We know we just heard dogs barking! I connect my sweet little tablet to my Bose speaker for really good sound and picture! Carlo you cracked me up when you said what smells so good!? And then pointed out that Nicki didn't remember carrying up the box of dog food on her head!!! Lol😂. But you still love her anyway despite her memory loss!! Haha! Yep.. and just wait until 65 comes rolling around! Oh lordy!! Lol! Everything was awesome to watch happening in your world last week, and to see all the other cool stuff going on there and to hear it also. I just wish we had smell-a-vision!! Love y'all, from your Italian American TH-cam Friend from East Texas, Annette Cinquemani (Fivehands) Falbo! The festival looked like so much fun! Great looking food too! (For dogs and humans alike!) Ciao!
Your vlogs are just SO GOOD. Start to finish. Every time. Thank you!
Your honest and very relatable. I particularly admire the way you address comments from people who make inappropriate comments. 👏. Your life, your vlog.🌟
You are perfect, Nicki!!! We are not statues made by Michelangelo, we are humans!!! Sei perfetta, Nicki!!!❤
I love the way that food is treated with so much respect and celebration in the rest of Europe. I also love the way you’re not worried about your legs or untidy stairs!
How sad that silly bureaucracy can stop such simple good fun: per usual the Italians will find a way around it. Bless the restauranters. I love the way your videos are full of every day chores and problems and you always manage to get a laugh out of simple situations. Great video Nicky and Carlo and any legs that can carry you up and down those stairs are great legs. Blessings to you both and the doggies. Cheers, Muffy from Oz.
Nicki never be ashamed of being real!
So many lovely things in this video! I appreciate your honesty in showing us the reality of life from bad lighting to lapses in memory. We all have those experiences, and it would be easy for you to edit them out of your videos. Brava for being transparent and leaving them in! I loved the footage of the Sagra and even watching you tidy for your guest and make dog food, because of the genuine person you are. The spread on the table at the end of the video looked so delicious! Have a great week!
Love the Positano Diaries. You are so relatable, watching you and Carlos is like watching a more exciting version of our lives. We are looking forward to our trip to Italy next year, October.
Thank you lively Nicki. Just a correction - the 180 and 110 degrees are Fahrenheit not Celsius like you said. The boiling point of cow's milk is around 203°F (95°C). Love your videos. Greetings
Thought I was going mad... Thanks for this.
Literally tried this recipe, and was rather worried thinking to myself I don’t know how on earth I’ll get this milk to 180 C when it’s threatening to boil over at 90 C ! Thank you for the clarification
O , I love to try making yoghurt so I'm glad I saw this .
I will look at the degrees in Celcius before I start , thank youuuu
Super fun video today and love that it shows real life. None of us have perfect bodies, always spotless houses or remember absolutely everything all the time so it refreshing that you have no problem showing us how normal you are.
Thank you for being so REAL...Your beauty goes beyond lighting.....Life IS short...and in my dad's village, we had a bean festival too... so miss the simplicity of it all... we run to much, going to fast, and going nowhere to enjoy..... Your videos are wonderful
Bless you Nicki, your vlog has immensely cheered me and it's hard to put into words. Love it all. Bless you, and I wish you all the health and love that life has to give. So happy for your house in Tuscany. Smart to plan ahead. You're so multi talented, beautiful and modest.
I love the picture of smiling happy Holly as pictured in your into. You caught her just perfectly. 🥰🥰
My dogs love homemade over canned dry! I made ‘us’ supper-ground turkey, carrots, celery-half to them, half to me (I added spices to mine). Thanks for posting.
I do love your home Nicki .It just has a lovely feel about it. Holly loved your home made food she looked like she was smiling when Indie went off like a petulant teenager . You are a great couple and i love watching your life every Sunday . Sending much love x
Hi! Nicki & Carlo, thank you for sharing your life, home and country through your channel. We enjoy your walks, trips to visit your Dad, and the gardening you do. Its all lovely! Thank you both & your family & friends so much.
We started watching your videos during Covid and they have remained a staple in our household every week. We look forward to seeing the now familiar faces in Positano. I even got to meet Andrea the painter during our visit in June and give him a photograph I had taken of him a few years earlier. We also stopped at blue star for a hello. 😊 Thank you to you and your family for taking the time to share your life and videos with us. Cheers!
I love the festival footage and all of the rest. Very much enjoyed watching the making of home made dog food and the freshly made yogurt.💕 Oh, and the talking bird segment was delightful.💕
Grazie Nicki for showing us how the 'light' can enhance or distort images. With just a few pictures Nicki's message of "there are bigger things to worry about", hit the nail on the head! Brava🎉
I think you are the Martha Stewart of Italy! You can do everything and Carlo seems so laid back. ❤ I will try the yogurt recipe. Thanks for another great video.❤
The festival looked like a lot of fun. There's nothing any better than having a house guest to motivate one to keep clean and organize. You made the little upstairs space very inviting.
Thank you for the lesson in lighting! It helped me understand why my legs can look so horrible from behind in my bathroom mirror but absolutely fine in my bedroom mirror. I'm still wearing shorts too!❤❤❤❤😊😊
I just love your channel! I feel like a visitor in your home. By the way, we all are so busy and running in so many directions that yes, we forget things. I’ve been experiencing the exact same thing. It’s not quite the older age, it’s life! 😊
wow, i LOVE how you did the section on lighting and the your body confidence pep talk! 🥰🥰🥰 thank you Nikki, that is what we need more of in this day and age!
Omg, love Carlo playing in the water...... hours of fun for him and hilarious to watch!! And YES at 48 my memory ain't what it used to be, definitely having my 'moments' (and it was pretty bad before!!!) Nicki we don't care about your legs, good or bad lighting (no offense) We are too busy enjoying the delights of your videos and the 2 of you living life 💙
The joy of watching you two just living your life....stay blessed
Maybe now in Tuscany the lovely dogs will get their special vlog or episode....I just adore them
Swimming pool looked so inviting. As a kid we did exactly what he was doing going against the swirling water.
love your house, your abundant stuff, your kitchen! i love it there and it brings me to tears to see it. that’s perfect dog food, not a thing wrong with it, lucky puppies. Beautiful festa! you’ve made the guest area lovely!
lovely relaxing vlog. Its always the same when we say " I'm having a relaxing day and not doing anything". Things just find us. 😊
Yes, Carlo. WE have so much on our minds that some things just slip on by. But, we remember the important things like how very lucky we are.
The weather looks great crowds are gone good for those who live there. I love that feast it looks delicious 😋. I watch your videos because you are like us real and that is what I love about you and Carlos. The pooches are so lucky Yummie food and lots of love and love back to you both🐕❤️🐕. Thanks every week for making us smile 😀
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability in showing the contrasting photos of your legs! That took courage and i say bravo!
They are very lucky dogs to have you and Carlos for their 'parents '!!😊
What a busy couple days. The festival looked like a success. The dog food prep looked like work. Holly enjoyed it, shes always good and faithful to her family.
And the room looked so welcoming for your guest. I understand about never having enough room and any flat surface is irresistible to put things on. Have a nice visit. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your yogurt recipe. Reminds me of my days in Greece 🇬🇷 Where they would make fresh yogurt everyday and put the local honey and walnuts in it. 😋
That sounds luscious ❤
Ive just caught up...what an absolute pleasure this was to watch 😍From the food at the festival,the community spirit between everyone,the sunshine,the scenery etc etc.
That dog food looked delicious...de-luxe. I bet they enjoy it😃
I love how wonderfully natural you both are. You are like old friends that i catch up with... sometimes im a bit behind but always watch every one of your fabulous videos.Hope you had/having a lovely week. I will look forward to watching you on Mondayas Sunday im working all day. Lots of love to you both and Holly and Indie💛💛xxxx
You did a fantastic job of making a good meal for your dogs. Our Westie, Willow, is on a raw food diet. My husband and I are true believers of a well-balanced diet for our dog. She is now six years old and has a beautiful, white, soft coat. We give her a raw egg three times a week and also give her coconut oil. I love the relationship you two have. Yes, I am forgetful at times. So many things going on in my brain at the same time.
Thank you Nicki for you honesty regarding the “lighting.” Believe me the lighting continues to keep you humble and hopefully brave! I’m 66 and sometimes I wonder who is looking back at me, but I’m healthy and fit and 66! You are an inspiration! 🤗
I make homemade yogurt frequently using an Instant Pot. It’s so easy! My Instant-pot actually has a “yogurt” button. It keeps the mix at the proper temp for 24 hours. I use 1/2 gallon of whole milk with 1/4 cup of whole milk plain yogurt as the starter. Delicious!
You can buy live starter bacteria in most health food stores or online. Not expensive. They often come with a wider spectrum of good ‘bugs’. Then use your own yogurt as starter. Like keeping you’re own sourdough bread starter.
Your vlog shows why you and Carlo are so liked Nicki.😄☀️🎉
Thank you Nicki and Carlo! Loved the video. Laughing and enjoying the small things in life is the key to happiness! 💕✨
I appreciate your authentic personslity.
Thank you for my Sunday treat. Chilly in Chicago, I made a cup of tea after my walk and enjoyed your episode knitting a hat. 🎉🎉
I just realized I have watched this video as a rerun before. Twice, even. I guess I must have loved it. I am nuts I guess.
Another great vedio Nicki!
The pink dress that you were wearing when you meet your friend looked beautiful on you!
Love you guy's! ❤
Loved the bean festival. Such a good vibe, families and live music too. The food looked amazing. Wonderful to see the unity with the restaurants doing the cooking. Your pumpkin harvest is awesome. I used a probiotic to make my coconut yoghurt but your recipe is easier. 🍶🥛
The bean fest looked like a GAS🤭
Always nice to see Elizabeth & the girls ❤
ha ha parp @@helensimpson2816
Great video! Btw....Just finished reading your book, and it was really good, a real 'page-turner'! I thought it was really sweet how you named the pair of little girls that Wendy and Amanda saw after you and your friend, Celine. Great touch!😊
I’m in Tuscany and Cohn in Castelnuovo Berardenga. There is ribolito Festival in the neighborhood. There was also another food festival today in another small town in chianti classical . region. celebration of food, wine, and seasonal change is part of the life of this area. I have been coming here since 94. I strongly recommend that You visit this area when you have your place in Tuscany
Sounds like they have lots of good fests to look forward to ❤
Seem so good but remember that in ALL THE ITALIAN REGIONS there are hundreds festivals usually about food (and maybe also about the saints) so keep travel and discover the real italian people deal...CIAO😁👋👍
Love those little cars!😍
That photo you had blown up is very pretty! You’re a brave woman - re the lighting on your legs!❤️🍁‼️
What a busy video that was! Nicki there is no end to your talents, making yogurt and lovely dog food too! It was really great to see everyone enjoying such a fantastic food festival, I love how much everybody takes pleasure in joining in. What a marvellous variety of food, made me feel hungry😊. Is the food in Tuscany different to Positano? xx
Another awesome and fun video. Thank you for taking is us through the festival and every day life again. Also, meeting another lovely friend of yours. Lovely to see you and Carlo interacting with each other. Have a fabulous week - see you next week :)
Loved you journey through cleaning preparing for your friend.
Your tips on light and photos and being so truthful while showing your legs caught in the wrong angle and light made me realise why I watch your videos,your simplicity and truth thank you.❤
Loved the fagioli festa what an awesome atmosphere and the enthusiasm for cooking ,the whole town joining in.
Loved your yoghurt making we have been making this without the thermometer ! Wondering how ,homemade dog food was a treat too .
Nicki & Carlo...keepin it real! There's a great book called "The Forever Dog" by Rodney Habib that focuses on homemade nutritionally balanced food. INCREDIBLE information! Adding even 10% of real whole food to your doggies bowl can have a profound effect on their health. 🐾🐾💖
Nice real daily grind stuff! Good on you for sharing the unflattering photo and showing how good lighting and angles do make a difference! I think you look pretty good ALL the time 😊!
Nikki, you're riggt! Life is too short! Enjoy every day to the utmost ❤❤
It's finally cooling down here in NW Georgia and enjoying it!!
Thanks for sharing another beautiful video!💐
Bravo Nicki - life is short and we feel beautiful when we have eyes to see what truly matters in life. You and your legs are beautiful in every light :)
Loved your vlog at the bean festival,I think all these traditions need to be kept alive for the younger generations 😊and your dog food looked tasty 😮brain fog is so frustrating as we age ,I hate it 😂😂walking into a room and forgetting what you went in for ,I even do a list for the store or I’d come home without what I need ,your weather looks amazing ,love seeing Positano xx
You and Carlo look so happy and i love the way you invite us into your lives and share so much, even the dimply thigh look?! Wish my legs were as shapely and smooth😅
I recently got new reading glasses and was horrified by all my wrinkles!! Yikes! At 73 i guess i earned them😂 thanks for all the wonderful treats you bring to us from your beautiful Positano❤home🎉🌺🐾🌼💞🐶🦜🍕🥗🍲🍝🍧🍡
Holy smokes, I'm going to try that yogurt recipe. It looks really easy. Aloha from Hawaii! It's only 5:50 Sunday morning. Great way to wake up watching your videos.
Love the festival!!! It is always a pleasure seeing Carlo and Nicki on Sundays, Thank you again for sharing. Just beautiful!!!!🙂🙂🙂
That was a lot of fun on a wet cold Tokyo Monday. Temperature dropped 10 degrees suddenly
I love this kind of video with a mix of lots of different things! The festival looked wonderful! I totally understand about being forgetful! I don't know how many times I walk into a room and try to remember what I was doing!🤔 Carlo, I love making whirlpools in my daughter's pool for my grandkids! Once I go around a few times, they love floating in the current! So much fun!❤
The look that bird gave you!!😂😂 Too cute
I used to do the same thing in my pool that Carlo did. So much fun . It shows the child inside of you. Always love seeing different food dishes prepared. Have tried some of them. Carlo and. You make such a cute couple.
This time I saved up three videos to watch and it was killing me waiting so long to watch 😂 When I see your instagram post and stories I try to convince myself I should just watch right away. But like I said I love to watch when I can watch in peace without any interruptions. Thank you again for another beautiful life in Positano video- and yes, cleaning, making dog food and laughing along with Carlo makes my day. Now on to your video two weeks ago 😂
OMG. We ❤️ that restaurant. My husband is from the area, Cioffi is his name. We were there years ago for a rehearsal dinner, and since my husband speaks Italian (same dialect) they loved him. We were invited into the kitchen and felt like family. Love you guys.
This video left me with a big smile on my face, thank you! Cheers from New Jersey.
I love that there was video of you bringing the fog food down! I too forget what I already did so you are not alone!
The festival was super fun to watch. You both really do live a charmed life. I know that it has its ups and downs, but OMG, Positano is magical.
Carlo looks like he's playing, but that's great low impact exercise! Good for him!
I’m in SE PA so we’ve only started to get cool at night. We have a spring fed creek in the back yard that my son loves. Right now it’s like emulation therapy! He said it helps with his anxiety ❤
Oh Nikki you're beautiful in any kind of lighting.🤓❤️🌟
A million thanks to this inspiring video where you taught me how to make yogurt. I never would have guessed it’s so simple. The result is the best yogurt I’ve ever had. Since your video I’ve been making yogurt weekly. What I do differently is I now use the 10% cream instead of milk. I tried them all. 3.25 % milk, mix of milk and 35% cream, in different proportions but I ended up with the best one that is the one from 10% cream. Many, many, many thanks. I might never buy yogurt from the store again.
That festival was just lovely. You are so real and relatable, thank you!!
Always fun watching you Nicki.
Oh dear. The memory thing. Me too! Very funny. 😂
God bless you Nicki for your honesty and transparency! You are truly refreshing. 🌹🥂
I love the children enjoying the music 🎉🎉🎉
Nicki, I’ve also been making yogurt; I’ve been making it for 19 years now. I never buy yogurt anymore. Just set aside your two tablespoons from your batch of yogurt and use this as your starter for the next batch!
Another great video! Your honesty is so loved! You are so creative in your recipes and decorating and all you do. I really look forward to your videos every Sunday. I was a week late In watching this one. Keep it up! ❤️
Wonderful ✨✨
It’s Sunday here in Seattle and my favorite channel never disappoints. It doesn’t matter what your content is Nicki. I just love watching you and Carlo💙🧡
Agree about wearing shorts no matter what. I'll wear mine all summer with my cottage cheese thighs haha!! xx P.S. I make butternut squash in my air fryer. I cube it up then soak in olive oil, garlic and a dash of cinnamon. DELICIOUS! That goulash looks so tasty!
Nicki, thank you for the yummy yogurt recipe. It seems so easy to make. I miss that we have become so commercialized we dont "make" anything any more like our parents and grandparents.
Your advice on lighting is so good. Something to keep in mind.
The weather looks beautiful. I hope it holds out for our visit next week.
I am SO SO looking forward to your areas food. I am such a "foodie"!!
Once again, thank you Nicki and Carlo for a lovely Sunday get-away with you and the pups!!
Luv, Joe & Terry (TX 🇨🇱)
Best episode so far
Thankyou for the yogurt recipe Nicki, I will definitely make it. The Festa looked like it was a success. I love it when people get together like this and have fun. ❤
We used to make veg and chicken soup for our dogs, they seemed to love it.
