Achieving Luxury in Everyday Living
It’s no secret that here at By Palais we are all lovers of luxury but we also deeply believe that luxury doesn’t require a large price tag and often doesn’t have a price whatsoever. In an effort to challenge us all to reevaluate what truly brings us joy we’re sharing a few ways to find true luxury in the small things that really are the big things.
Mindful Mornings. There’s nothing that makes us feel like we’re living a life full of richness like a quiet morning enjoying a perfect cup or coffee or tea. The ability to carve out this time in solitude is invaluable and even better if you can take a moment to simply appreciate the majesty of a sunrise no matter the view.
Your Home, Your Sanctuary. Making your home a sanctuary doesn’t require a full scale remodel or a designer’s touch. Finding a fragrance that makes you feel rooted and calm is the perfect starting place. Another way to create a haven is by playing with textures like airy sheer curtains or a heavy, chunky throw blanket on your favorite spot to lounge.
Gourmet Delights. Another way to increase the luxury in your life without breaking the bank is to add a bit of luxe to meals at home. Elevate home cooked meals with artisanal seasonings or cheese, handmade creations like pasta, or specialty sauces. Take it to the next level by creating a small scale herb garden or tending to a patio tomato plant for example.
Digital Detox. And of course there’s no better way to appreciate where you are and what you have by unplugging and stepping back from those ever present screens. Be sure to connect with nature as often and you can whether that’s on a walk or simply sitting in a park. Give your eyes a rejuvenating resting place like a wide open green space or calming blue oceans.
We’re always searching for more ways to connect more deeply with our inner and outer worlds. Keep your eyes and heart open for the priceless moments in life that make you feel more content and at peace.
