Little daily luxuries

[Anonymous]

What are some things you consider minor little luxuries? Here are some of mine:

Lush bath products - I only recently began to partake and they have amazing lip scrubs and conditioners that feel like a small luxury

Expensive socks - Balega specifically for me

Chameleon cold brew - It is like $10 instead of $4 for cheaper brands but I buy it every week and love it for making protein coffee drinks daily

Good water bottles - I drink a lot more water if the water is ice cold

Buying a cup of coffee - It’s far more expensive to purchase a cup at any cafe than to make at home. I get such enjoyment out of a coffee made by anyone outside of me.

I reject the premise - you are basically asking people to list all the stupid ways they waste money in a day, and congratulate each other on their money wasting.

I have similar: Lush shower gel and peppermint foot lotion, Bombas socks, and a fancy water bottle.

But probably the big one is fresh flowers. I don't get them all the time, but when I want an affordable luxury I get an arrangement. I bought some fancy tea while at the Omni Bedford Springs resort this week as well -- "blueberry pancakes" tea that I tried in their spa.

I take my coffee out on my back porch and spend at least 15 minutes doing absolutely nothing but enjoying it and reflecting, mostly on things that are good.
My DH "puts me to bed" at night much like you would a kid, brings me water, a little backrub (I used to do the same for my kids)
A break in the middle of the work day for some light stretching or a stroll around the park with some good music
using "the good china" for no reason at all for a family dinner when we can make it happen

I bought a fancy new face serum that was $$$ and it makes my skin feel silky and amazing.

I think that's about it! I'm pretty frugal and cheap otherwise.

I use cubed sugar in my coffee.

I only wear wool socks and sleep under thick wool blankets.

I often eat my lunch outside, preferably on a picnic blanket so I can kick off my shoes and really enjoy a bit of midday relaxation and refreshment.

I don’t think you know what “luxuries” means…

We have cute short stemmed wine glasses that were a wedding present. I don’t think we ever used them prior to having kids, but I started making individual servings of jello or pudding in these glasses and the kids love it. I must admit it feels very fine dining to eat jello out of a crystal glass.

I love this! And short stemmed wine glasses are useless for wine anyways, so what a great use
