15 Simple Luxuries for the Modern Woman
April 13, 2015
There is a deep therapeutic quality about treating oneself. It alleviates the mind and nourishes the soul. Cultivating a life of self-love is the best gift we can give to ourselves. This goes beyond what money can buy and makes me think of Tom Ford's words "Time and silence are the most luxurious things today". We must be judicious about what we bring into our life, meticulously aware of our needs and desires in order to curate a life of real luxury and meaning. The modern woman lives an examined life that is filled with simple moments that ripple into a lifestyle of deliberate living. Today I'm sharing 15 simple luxuries that create a more fulfilling life.

One of the things I did last year for my birthday was a two-day escape to a beach side resort. And the trip went far beyond my expectations. It was on this voyage that I came across the above quote. Eat healthy, sleep well, move harmoniously. Simple, yet immensely complex. So many factors are involve in us getting the right stuff in our system, the right amount of sleep, and the adequate number of physical activity. And that's what I love about the quote, it simplifies all of that. So instead of stressing myself about how I should eat, sleep, and move I'm simply reminded that I should do it. And so far that mentality has been producing the best results.

Like you I love surrounding myself with beauty and simple loveliness. Life's so much better that way. And one place in the house that I think should be pure bliss (besides the bedroom, of course) is the kitchen. I love cooking, the smell food brings to a home, and the aura that the kitchen brings to a home. And this week I am inspired by gorgeous kitchen tops and how they just make the room.

Final Look No.5

Last week I ran an entire mile for the first time in my life. A whole mile, non-stop. It still blows my mind. Naturally I thought that this week would bring greater success. I was dreaming of an easy 1 mile run to start, followed by a hard earned second mile. But no! I ran three times this week and probably only mustered two-fifths of a mile, non-stop. I was definitely disappointed, but mostly scared. Yes, scared. Honestly, it doesn't bother me that I didn't reach my goal this week, I was so proud of myself for making three runs. What scares me is the fear that I may never eclipse that 1 mile non-stop run. What if I can't do better? I really want to do better. And as I sat on the ocean shore and reflected on this I came to realize that that's life. We proceed with confidence towards a dream, one day we're soaring and the next we're slumping. It would be too easy to give it all up during the downcast moments and that's why I'll continue to run, because I know that by the summer I'll be running my first 5K. It ain't gonna be easy, but it'll be worth it.
