“Enjoying life in the moment is the Real Luxury in life”
Unknown
I know its been a looonnngg time since I posted last and I hoping I can get back into the swing of things.
I remember a
time – the weather had a chill, I was in my awesome grey sweater cozy lounge
outfit, a glass of red wine in one hand and an amazing book in the other; a
fire roaring in the fire place and the diffuser filled with a soft romantic
blend. I totally enjoyed the whole
experience with fervor and elation, an almost, no truly a euphoric experience. I also recently had an experience after a
shower and an oil protocol and then a few moments again with a book and off to
sanctuary of my room and bed; both of these I would love to recreate every day
rain or shine (I love the rain)!
So I have set
a goal to reach a level of luxury with every waking day. And what does that mean? This is as different as each of us are. For me it means to awake refreshed, have my
morning drink, and then enjoy the beauty of my morning skin care ritual with a
yoga ritual to start the day. Dress is
comfortable and enduring whatever I encounter for the day. My lunch is healthy, light and filling,
dinner, exquisite no matter what I choose. Throughout the day I avoid the
experience of stress.
Throughout
the day I fill the time with different oil blends; sometimes to calm the air,
others to cheer things up. Others yet to
clean for clean or for health.
Then the
finish to the day; a restorative yoga practice, or a simple oil protocol before
I take a short cleansing shower with the spa products and pick up a book to
close out my night.
We can all
easily create our own luxurious day by following some simple steps making sure
to add fragrances to the air to assist in bringing the balance in. Here are a few awesome things we can do to
level up the lux! Start with the things
we wear – the comfort of our under and over garments. Less is more sometimes. With an emphasis on capsule wardrobes it is
much easier to set a higher level of comfort for you for every season. Follow this with a scent you create for you –
one that you will LOVE wearing (mine these days are all essential oils and
mostly created by me). Shopping local can be an amazing thing and do a little
hunting for treasures.
Quality skin
care makes us feel like kings and queens so make the investment in something
clean, light, and bright and don’t be afraid to have someone do it for you, say
twice a year – that’s up to you! Work
out to your skill and comfort level. Listen
all day to music that suits your mood, sing a little song, do a little
dance…. Meet a fried for coffee – this
is the best!! And cook at home, you can
always make a great meal at home with some added touches to make it more
exquisite. Make some “me” time and
eliminate “busy” times of all sorts.
Make your shower as luxurious as a nice hot bath and split anything you
classify as a chore off such as shaving, deep conditioning and anything else
you are not fond of either all in one or one each time so the stress is not as
great. And finally read, it is amazing
what a little reading time can do for you.
So my
challenge to you is “what does luxury look like for you and then how will you
create some luxury in your life?” Feel
