Little daily luxuries

You can send these back to be recycled! I used to be really anti-Nespresso for that reason, but I recently found out that they have a recycling program. The pods are aluminum, which is a desirable material, and I think that probably increases the chances that they are *actually* getting recycled

Maybe a weird one, but I splurged and bought myself a very expensive record player so that I could play my beloved 70s and 80s albums. I love playing dj. DH installed speakers!

Nice body lotions from brands like diptyque or Molton Brown.

Molton Brown is one of the most overrated brands. Thier formulas are super drying. It's like MrBubble in fancy packaging. I think people only buy this stuff once. Then they learn the real meaning of "fool me once...."

I have dry skin and I actually find the products moisturizing and love their scents. Not quite Mr. Bubble.

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"

Yeah — still think you don’t know what it means.

Another word people misuse a lot is “chic”

That's how I feel about sandwiches. They're always better made by someone else; even if it's something a simple as a BLT.

Not sure why that is, but I completely agree about sandwiches. No matter how high quality the ingredients, they never taste that great when made at home.

I have never made a sandwich at home for this reason.

Fancy chocolates.

Drive at sunrise and discovering what freshness is. (Nothing like this one.)

First and business class seats.

Nightly long shower with random memories.

Fancy coffees.

A nice luxury ... but probably not a "daily" one?

Please don't sit by me ever. Your "perfumed body" has GOT to be overwhelming.

Feel free to get up and move.

How about you feel free to not impose scents on everyone else? DP

A clean house all to myself, fresh flowers, a hot mocha from Starbucks, then curling up in bed with my favorite lelo.com friend.

That seems super fake to me. And they’re heavy to ship.

My little luxury is to eat organic foods.

Another little weekly luxury is to have an hourly chef who comes and preps meals for the week AND makes one meal for a dinner party for 6-10 people. I like ti entertain but I no longer want to do the work of cooking,

I buy a weekly bunch of flowers from the grocery store.

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?

I'm gonna guess you don't use a washcloth either

If you have a good skin biome, you will not be a flaky, stinky human.

I agree Molton Brown is awful. I use Oribe or Keratase hair products.

Hot tea. Belgian chocolate. Cozy Asian blankets. If you don’t know what these are you are missing out!!!
