Nicole de Moulpied Releases “Still a Snack” — A Bold Midlife Glow-Up Guide That Refuses to Play by the Rules

There’s a moment—usually somewhere in your 40s or 50s—where the world quietly expects you to fade into the background. Nicole de Moulpied just wrote a book that flat-out refuses to let that happen.

Her new release, Still a Snack: Your Mid Life Glow Up Guide, isn’t subtle about what it’s here to do. It’s part mindset reset, part fitness plan, part skincare strategy—and all attitude. The message is simple: you don’t age out of feeling confident, attractive, or powerful. If anything, you double down.

Right from the jump, de Moulpied makes it clear this isn’t about “aging gracefully” in the traditional, watered-down sense. It’s about reclaiming control—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and doing it with a little swagger. As she puts it, this is your “permission slip” to invest in yourself again, without apology .

The book is structured like a no-BS playbook for reinvention. It walks readers through:

A mindset reboot that shuts down the inner critic and replaces it with something a lot more supportive (and a lot more fun)
A simple, sustainable fitness routine built around daily movement and consistency—not complicated gym culture
A nutrition strategy that prioritizes energy, glow, and real-life enjoyment instead of restrictive dieting
A streamlined skincare system focused on proven results, not influencer hype

What makes Still a Snack hit differently is the tone. It’s honest, a little irreverent, and completely unfiltered. De Moulpied doesn’t pretend perfection—she talks about overwhelm, mixed messages around aging, and the pressure women feel to either “try too hard” or “not try at all.” Then she cuts through all of it.

The takeaway? You get to decide.

And she backs it up with real, practical structure. Daily walks. Five-minute abs. Simple food swaps. Core skincare essentials. Nothing bloated, nothing unrealistic—just systems that actually stick.

There’s also an underlying strategy that’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention: while the book is framed as a “glow-up,” it’s quietly building long-term health habits underneath it. Look better, feel better—but also live better.

That balance is what makes this more than just another lifestyle book.

Still a Snack isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about owning where you are—and making it work for you in the most unapologetic way possible.

The book is available now. And if you’ve been waiting for a sign to get your edge back… this is probably it.

A man in a white cap, white T-shirt and light shorts embracing and kissing a woman in a light sleeveless dress, standing together on a sunny balcony behind an ornate white metal railing, in a grainy, sunlit photograph.

Erin Napier understands that a house holds a family’s memory — and in her new picture book, the house gets to tell the story. The Christmas House, published October 6 by Tommy Nelson, is Napier’s holiday companion to her bestselling The Lantern House, told from the point of view of the house itself as it is decorated and filled with joy for Christmas.

Page by page, the house watches the season arrive: decorations are carried down from the attic, a hand-carved nativity is set out, cookies are baked, and a family treasure is uncovered in the basement. At the center of it all is Grandpa’s cracked wooden Christmas star — worn, imperfect, and the most important decoration of all — in a story that gently honors a family member who has passed and the way traditions keep loved ones present. Folk artist Adam Trest illustrates, in the same warm style that made The Lantern House a favorite.

Napier, beloved as a co-host of HGTV’s Home Town, announced the book to her followers in August, describing it as a story about how Christmas traditions keep the people we love alive forever. She will take it on the road this season, with stops including Birmingham, Alabama on November 7; Jackson, Mississippi on November 21; New York City on November 30; and Laurel, Mississippi on December 5.

Written for ages 4 to 8, The Christmas House runs 40 pages and is priced at $19.99 — a read-aloud built for the nights when the tree goes up and the whole family crowds in close.
