Brooks Nader‘s life is a perfect mix of chaos, glamour, and unapologetic authenticity, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Between starring in her new reality show “Love Thy Nader” and juggling a busy career, her days are packed with family hijinks, shoots, and everything in between. As Nader puts it, “It’s been a total whirlwind! This was a whole new level of vulnerability and chaos, even for our crazy family. The best surprise to me was that my sisters and I haven’t killed each other yet. There has been some weave pulled, and blood drawn, but we’re still here!”
Through it all, she manages to find the little things that keep her grounded — whether that’s a quick swipe of her favorite lip stain, a glow-boosting serum, or lighting a candle that instantly makes a hotel room feel like home. Nader believes that “real life is messy, hilarious, fun, sometimes a wreck, that’s what makes it beautiful,” and her must-haves reflect that same spirit: practical, indulgent, and a little fun, just like her.
Even with her career and personal life constantly in the spotlight, Nader says, “Balance is a moving target . . . I believe in making space for love and fun,” and she’s figured out how to make her routines work without losing herself. And, of course, a touch of tech helps too, like her Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which makes everything from scrolling social to online shopping feel effortless.
Below, Nader shares the beauty, lifestyle, and tech essentials she swears by — the ones that keep her glowing, organized, and ready for whatever life throws her way (even if it’s a little messy).
