She Prioritizes Sleep

Getting a good night's sleep is crucial, per Richie. "Everyone's doing a million things, and we have to realize that self-care and rest is just as important, and you have to have that in order to be the best version of yourself," she told Self. She starts getting ready for bed at 7:01. "I started that when my kids were young and they used to go to bed at seven. My friends would call me at 7:01, because that's when I started to turn down. Now [my kids] don't go to bed at 7 p.m., but I'm definitely trying to. So I start my routine with, well, it used to be tea. Now that has turned into wine. I'm very into Avaline wine right now. I just like to have a glass, a little splash of that, and get on the couch, watch some episodes of Yellowstone."

One of Richie's self-care routines is taking a bath with Epsom. "Joel's mom lives in Maryland, and she lives close to an Amish community. This community makes my favorite handmade soaps. So she sends me those soaps, and those are the soaps that I use at night in the bath. They're great," she told Self.

She Stretches

"The number one thing I tell myself I have to do every day is stretch," she told The Zoe Report during the pandemic. "I'm on Zooms all day, sitting down, I'm not moving as much, and it's definitely harder to be active. For me, the most important thing to do is to stretch."

She Cooks

Nicole likes cooking, especially "shortcut meals," which are healthy, nutritious, and easy to make. "I do a lot of overnight oats, lasagna, slow-cooker chicken tacos, and quesadillas," She told TZR. "I like making things that will last."
