I love how you reframe luxury as something accessible through intention and small rituals. It makes me curious are there any specific daily practices you’ve found especially grounding or mood-lifting lately?

The first one that came to mind was that I've been tracking my daily wins + acknowledgements in a note on my phone. I've been doing it since January and I'm surprised I've kept up with it but it's been so mood-lifting! It's not just big work-related things, so some days it's things like "did my laundry" or "saw a friend I hadn't seen in a long time" or "finally saw a movie I've been meaning to see." It helps me reflect on the day and even on days when I'm low-energy/stressed, I can acknowledge a small win like "I put away the dishes"

Loved the tip about reading only one page! Life with a toddler means I rarely have downtime, but that’s definitely doable. Also love your morning routine

As a fellow Taurus, I could not agree with this mindset more!! I love that silverware set and bathrobe. So cozy. The little table with a weekly changing display is so cute

I second microreading and fancy soap! Now that I have fancy soap in my bathroom (I rotate between Jo Malone, Aqua Flor, and Osmia) I actively look forward to washing my hands.

Ooh need to look into aqua flor and osmia! I have some perfume samples I love from Jo Malone but haven’t tried their soap.

As an Aquarius sun, I love this so much. The nice-smelling things are great spirit lifters for me.

So much of this I resonate with! The special glassware, the morning ritual, even the micro reading! And honestly nothing better than a fun bev at the end of the day 💛

Honestly, experiencing luxury in the littlest ways every day is what helps keep my sanity intact. Inspired now to write my own blog based on this. Will surely mention you if I do. Thank you!
