Do you think living a luxurious life means you have to have a lot of money?
What if you could elevate your everyday life without elevating your credit card balance?
Who decided a luxurious life had to be an expensive one?
I think we’ve confused luxury with expensive. Luxury, to me, is intention. It’s how you care for yourself, your home, your time and the little details of your day.
Here are 10 ways to live a more luxurious life without breaking the bank: 🍾
1. Buy yourself the flowers. Grocery store flowers in a beautiful vase can completely change the feeling of a room. If you don’t want to spend money on real flowers, you can go to HomeGoods and purchase fake ones.
2. Use the good dishes. Stop saving the pretty glasses, china and cloth napkins for company. You can purchase these through garage sales or thrift stores. You live there too.
3. Create beautiful lighting. Turn off the harsh overhead lights. Lamps, candles and soft lighting instantly make your home feel more elevated. I switched all of my lighting over to Amber lighting and that warm lighting creates a very luxurious feel.
4. Make your morning drink a ritual. Coffee in a beautiful cup. Sparkling water in a wine glass. Take five minutes and actually enjoy it.
5. Edit instead of constantly buying. A smaller wardrobe of pieces you love will always feel more luxurious than a closet overflowing with things you never wear.
6. Keep your bedroom beautiful. Fresh sheets, a made bed, cleared nightstands and a lovely scent cost very little but change how you end your day.
7. Romanticize your meals. Even a simple salad, pasta or piece of fish feels different when you plate it beautifully, sit at the table and put on some music.
8. Take yourself somewhere beautiful. A museum, botanical garden, bookstore, café, park or even a walk through a beautiful neighborhood. Your life does not have to revolve around spending money.
9. Create at home what you keep paying someone else to create for you. A Sunday facial, a long bath, beautiful music, candles, body oil and a glass of something lovely can turn your bathroom into your own little spa.
10. Stop saving everything for “someday.” Wear the perfume. Light the candle. Open the bottle. Put on the lipstick.
Remember, you are the luxury you are the occasion.
