As a busy mom juggling various roles, Nicky Hilton knows the importance of simplifying the logistics to focus on on the fun. That's why she's always prepared for a family outing. In an exclusive interview, Nicky shares her tried-and-true essentials for a seamless and stress-free family day at Universal Studios.

Nicky says, "We did a little of everything. We shopped at the new Gabby's Dollhouse shop, had lunch at Krusty Burger, and went on a bunch of rides." This was also an opportunity for Nicky and the kids to check out the new Gabby's Dollhouse merch for the first time, since it's only available at the park.

Here are Nicky's must-have products and practical tips for parents that will make your day a breeze. She even included some picks inspired by her sister Paris Hilton and mom Kathy Hilton.

Nicky Hilton's Universal Studios Essentials

"I'm addicted to Rosebud Lip Salve. It hydrates my lips and also smells good."

Nicky's pick has 2,300+ 5-star Amazon reviews. Nicky previously recommended this in her 2022 holiday gift guide and her 2021 holiday gift guide. 

"I love Paris' blinged out water bottle. It's so sparkly and cute. It also has a strap and you can wear it like a purse."

This Paris Hilton water bottle is available in several colors.

Nicky's sister Paris previously told E!, "I'm always on the go, and so are my friends, and staying hydrated is so important, and doing so in style. It's perfect for everyday use, and what I love is that it has a carry chain and handle for any occasion." 

"I love this one because it's light and easy." You can get this charger in pink, black, and white.

"I love Ilia's tinted moisturizer. It's light, has nice coverage and has mineral SPF."
