Little daily luxuries

Anonymous wrote: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

Why do people have to scrub their lips?

OK? Like what?

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

PP here.

How do you define it?

I define it, as most dictionaries do, as "a condition of abundance or great ease and comfort" or "an indulgence in something that provides pleasure, satisfaction, or ease"

If you have to ask this question, you are fortunate.

They can get very dry and flaky if you have dry skin or are prone to dehydration.

Right, but I askd you to either tell me where I am off or tell me what you think it means? Don't want to?

Daily coffee purchase. It’s my one luxury which didn’t seem so luxury until Starbucks raised their prices and it feels pretty luxurious now.

Expensive candles and bath products that smell luxurious.

I get myself a fresh baked sourdough loaf and a large bottle of fresh squeezed orange juice from Whole Foods every week. Not cheap but it makes my mornings so much nicer.

Also, Meloria Laundry Powder. It's such an upgrade from regular detergent.

Yet the first thing that popped into my head was the fact that a few years ago, I switched to using half and half in my coffee instead of milk. The extra richness feels like such a treat. And like PP who had to defend her definition of luxury, I have it on the porch.

Bliss.
