How to Add Luxury to Your Life at Home

Floral Arranging. Woman doing floral arranging. Floral Arrangement

One thing I’ve learned with time is the importance to invest in things that make you happy.  With so many of us spending time in our homes how do we switch up?

It doesn’t have to cost an arm or a leg but the intention and meaning behind these things or actions are so valuable.  I love bringing things to my life to add beauty and luxury.  Here are 5 easy ways to add a bit of luxury to your life.

Fresh Flowers

Adding flesh florals is an instant way to add color and luxury to your home.  I remember while away at college I would treat myself after acing a test to some fresh flowers.  It was an expensive treat for a college kid.  I promised myself that when I was older I would always have fresh flowers in my home.  It’s an instant pick me up.

Wear Perfume You Save for Special Occasions

Don’t wait one second more to wear that fragrance you only whip out for an anniversary or date night.  Every moment alive is a special occasion and deserves to be treated as such.  So go ahead and dab some of the special scent to the nape of your neck.  You’re worth it.

Light Candles

Growing up, candles were associated to preparing for inclement weather. We never lit them unless the power went out during a hurricane.  I was missing out on all the vibes scented candles bring to your space.  Whether I’m working at home, watching TV or taking a shower; lighting candles have become a main part of my lifestyle.

There’s something about taking a bath by candle light that feels extra plush and so luxurious.  Add essential oils and flower petals to the water to elevate your bath time too.

Play Jazz & Drink Wine While Cooking

Creating the perfect Jazz playlist took me years but it’s so worth it when you can just hit play, pour a glass of chianti red and whip up a delicious pasta dish at home.  Rich Auntie Vibes for sure.

 

Stay Lovely!

The great Carrie Bradshaw once said, “They say nothing ever lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go but friendships never go out of style.”
I  couldn’t agree more!  There is something about a classic.  It’s tried and true; dependable and trustworthy.
Just like my Creative Lady Gang — these women are “mon amours” and I celebrate them today in the spirit of love.
Sure, there maybe a special person in your life, but my girlfriends?
They are my soulmates because they feed and support my creative and entrepreneurial side and I support theirs.
We allow one other to fully be who we are creatively allowing our individuality to shine bright without dimming the light of each other.  It’s truly about women supporting women; it’s more than a hashtag or gimmick.  It’s the real deal.

Carissa is the powerhouse behind the lens.  She’s a mother of two and yet still makes time to work on her craft that she happens to be amazing at so effortlessly.
Ashlea is the creative mind behind all the flower arrangements that you see in my photoshoots.  She started her business as many of us do without knowing everything.  Her honest and determined spirit make her so successful and I couldn’t be prouder of her.
Natalie is behind the camera creating videos for my channel.  She is so impressive to be young, humble, kind and so talented.  It was the best decision to slide into her DMs to ask if she wanted to work together.

I was initially drawn to all of them because of the beautiful work they created and soon quickly we became friends because they embody something authentic.  More than that — we are ladies of a tight knit group of creatives and I love our genuine and sincere support for one another.
That’s why I absolutely love the new products and gifts in the L’Occitane and Rifle Paper Co. collaboration — where the enchantment of Provence meets the ultra-femme loveliness behind this amazing lifestyle stationary brand, showing the beauty, strength, and love behind women empowerment and entrepreneurship.
The classic, decadent, best-selling Shea Butter collection gets a vibrant new look with the feminine flair of Rifle Paper Co.  (which by the way is a woman founded and owned business)!
But this new design is more than a pretty face. These products help to provide economic opportunities for women in Burkina Faso.  Through business development training, L’Occitane empowers over 10,000 women in environmentally friendly shea processing.
Anything from the L’Occitane x Rifle Paper Co. collection would be a perfect gift for the amours in your life.  What better way to celebrate your girl squad, creative tribe or lady gang?!  Make sure to follow me on LikeToKnow.It and use the code “KISS” to get your free gift and save 20% off a future full priced purchase.  Ends 2/14.

Stay Lovely!
