Nicola Coughlan has been on our radar ever since she stole the show (and made us belly laugh) in the hilarious series Derry Girls. She then showed off her romantic (and duplicitous) side in the fan-favorite Bridgerton. And she isn't slowing down anytime soon—we'll be seeing her in the next season of Only Murders in the Building and in a twisted new Netflix show.

As huge fans of the very, very busy actress, we had to ask her all about her favorite things (which are soon to be our favorite things). Here, Coughlan's exclusive PureWow Picks, aka 9 things she can't live without.

1. Lemonade at Lagana, London

“It's beautifully yellow in a way that you know it's just been homemade.”

2. Brat Sweatshirt

“I'll always wear a huge hooded sweater. I went to see Charli XCX on tour, and I got this enormous Brat sweatshirt, so that's the one I'm wearing most.”

4. The Trainline App

“I really love to travel by train. I shot Doctor Who a couple of years ago in Cardiff, and I remember being offered that they could get a car that would bring me, but I was like, 'I would like to go by train.'”
