San Nicola Arcella is a breathtaking cliffside town in Calabria, Italy, with stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, charming piazzas, and secret beaches like the famous Arco Magno. Since I am a local, these are my personal recommendations for what to see, where to eat, where to stay, and a few favorite travel tools that will make your visit go smoothly. Whether you're planning your first trip or dreaming of a return, here’s everything you need to explore San Nicola.

I am a lover of binging TV shows. I honestly like watching shows better than movies. The story is richer and more intense plus you can get really attached to the characters as it goes on and it almost feels like you've lost a friend when it's done. For this list I'm going to be showing all of my favorite shows to binge while you're editing. Keep in mind these shows are all ones that you can half pay attention to and not really feel like you're missing anything. I won't be putting shows on here that require your full attention no matter how many times you've seen it (ie Game of Thrones)

This one is near and dear to my heart. In 2023 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge shock for all of us, especially when it has never ran in the family. There is not a lot of time to process a diagnosis like this, and treatment has to be done FAST. My mom was given the choice to go through chemo, where there was no guarantee it would destroy all the cancer, or to have a double mastectomy. She chose the mastectomy. I cannot say that I know exactly how she felt, but I know it was a really dark time for her. She had a hard time accepting she was losing her breasts and she felt like a piece of her womanhood was about to be taken from her. It was so important for me to give her as much love and support during this time for her. I am so thankful to say, she is doing so much better and was able to have a reconstructive surgery. I tried my best to provide her with items that were helpful after her surgery (for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery). These were items that my mother told me were her favorite and we would love to share her favorites as it might help someone else navigating this journey. If you or someone you know is battling breast cancer, I just want to say I am praying for you!
There is nothing worse than feeling overwhelmed while trying to pick out makeup products, especially when you do no want your face breaking out. As someone who always had dry/sensitive skin, these specific makeup items never irritated me.

Books will always be a great option for gifting and also for organizing our lives. I adore my iPhone lists and My Disney Experience app, but sometimes having a physical planner or a real life journal is just more satisfying.
This list includes books to help plan your ultimate Disney vacation including for visitors with disabilities along with books for gifting to the Disney fan in your life who has everything.
