OK? Like what?
Flowers from the yard in kitchen, morning sun on running trail, cold water on a warm day, freshly washed and dried sheets on bed at night, borrowed book from the library, mother's home made bread from tge oven etc etc.

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.

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.

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.
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?
No. I don't.
You so silly.
Thanks for your contributions!

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?
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.
No.

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.
