When I think about little things that make me happy outside of my family, my work, etc I think about little luxuries. I don’t mean that in a way that it’s something that needs to be expensive to feel luxurious just things that give you joy, that are just for you. These are my favorite little luxuries in life that really fill my cup.
Favorite Little Luxuries In Life
Manicures and Pedicures: Probably my favorite luxury I do. I don’t think I have gone without painted nails (other than Covid lockdown) in 12 years. It’s how I always feel put together.
Days to myself: I have realized through therapy that one thing that makes me a better wife and mom is having alone time every now and then.
Naps on weekends: This is rare for me but something just feels right about a rainy or cold Sunday and a long nap.
Everything showers: Tell me what feels better than an everything shower? Hair mask, face mask, blow out. So good!
A slow morning: These are NOT something we get often but they feel like such a luxury when we aren’t rushing around.
Long walks alone or with a friend: I love walks alone and I love a good walk with a friend catching up on life. Both really feel like luxuries to me.
Sitting by a fireplace with coffee or a glass of wine: Thankfully in the winter – this is my reality most days.
A long dinner with friends: I love a good long 2 plus hour dinner with a friend over a good drinks just yapping!
Fancy date nights: Andrew and I don’t do a ton of fancy date nights but I love a date night where we do dinner one place and drinks another- feels so lux.
Reading a good book by the water: Probably my favorite way to relax on vacation.
Flights without children: Flights alone in general are so luxurious. Although sometimes I feel like I am missing an arm.
What is one of your favorite little luxuries?
Gosh, I can’t remember the last time I had a slow morning. That would be MORE than luxurious!
A slow morning sounds amazing to me. I get up 3 AM and immediately begin working. LOL.
It’s easy to mistake these as small things, but luxury doesn’t have to be expensive! And I agree – an “everything shower” is definitely a luxury item!
I can relate to all of these little luxuries, my favorite is shower time, pedicures, naps on weekends and weekdays…lol

Reading a book by the water is THE best luxury, in my opinion! I love sitting beachside under the warmth of the sun, enjoying a good book.
Slow mornings followed by an everything shower? Yes please, sign me up! This sounds like it would pair perfectly with a Sunday morning.
I literally felt like you read my diary! I love all of these things too! Especially a long dinner with friends! Such a great list!
I love these little luxuries! Those moments when you feel like everything is going your way and you can really savor that moment.
When two of my kids got their own apartments, I felt like I am slowing down – and actually am able to all these things on your list, even learning a language’s next niveau! love this!
