Luxury is often associated with high ticket purchases reserved for those rare (and sometimes guilt-ridden) moments of self-reward. Christian Louboutin heels, Fendi's "Spy" bag, and Herve Leger bandage dresses are all items that we associate with "the good life". While I agree that each of those are worth the wait, I advocate a little taste of luxury each and every day. Living well is about finding that piece of happiness, however small and simple, and savoring it. After all, god is in the details of life. Whether it's finding time to meditate and reflect, dining at a fantastic restaurant, or keeping fresh flowers at your bedside, indulge in a bit of luxury. Those few extra dollars will enhance the beauty of life amidst the busy and mundane. Here are a handful of simple pleasures that I love, but share yours with me!
