✨ things that make my life feel expensive ✨

Always being curious to learn and actively pursuing knowledge. This is #1 for me. Constantly be trying to elevate yourself with information. There's no better time than now to be able to learn new things. Psychology, theory, fiction, persuasion, finance, history, emotional growth, nutrition, beauty, time management, philosophy, politics, strategy, classic literature, art, high fashion, hard sciences, technology, investing. There's so many things to learn about. There are a lot of free courses out there as well.

Having manners and etiquette. Smile at people. Be friendly. Be especially kind to people working in the service industry, retail, customer service.

Being well spoken. Limit profanity and slang. Don't gossip or say anything about yourself in a negative light. Think before you speak. It's okay to pause, think, and articulate.

Water, tea, freshly squeezed or cold pressed juices in champagne flutes or wine glasses.

Making fancy cocktails (or mocktails!) and putting them in proper glasses, with stirrers. It helps if you have a bar setup too, I have a cute lil bar cart with all the fixings.

Expensive smelling candles. They don't have to actually be expensive, they just need to look cute and smell good.

Fresh flowers.

Taking bubble baths.

Cooking delicious recipes from scratch, and eating at the dining room table with a full setup. Candles, glassware, cloth napkins, jazz music in the background, the whole nine yards. Ambience is everything.

Drinking tea in the afternoon out of a teapot and teacup.

Natural air fresheners. Essential oil diffusers, incense, reed diffusers. I'm a big fan of fresh eucalyptus bundles in the shower too.

Salt lamps and battery operated candles. I try to live off of low, warm lighting and sunlight as much as I can.

Houseplants.

Buying cute crystals and setting up an altar to myself. I have a pretty silk scarf laid out on the end of my vanity, with crystals, sage, written affirmations, etc.

Silk robes.

Big fluffy bathrobes.

Sunlight. Get as much as you can, even in the winter. Go outside in your puffy coat if you have to.

Being in nature, in general. Nature walks are essential.

Listening to jazz & classical music.

Reading. There are a lot of free ebooks online, or you can go to the library too.

Champagne.

Cooking with fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits etc.

Trying new hobbies. Ballet, yoga, Pilates, barre, horseback riding, etc.

Maintaining a clean and beautiful home environment.

Wearing perfumes & perfume oils. Right now I'm obsessed with Oudh, it smells incredible.

Wearing jewelry I love.

Trying new recipes out of fancy cookbooks.

Going to wineries and attending wine tasting events.

Try baking delicious and healthy treats.

Fresh, high quality bedding. Crispy, high thread count white sheets. Feathery pillows. Great quality mattress.

Get up and watch the sun rise, if you can. Sunsets are beautiful too.

Get blackout curtains, especially if you live in a city with light pollution.

Fancy coffee table books.

Fresh bread, either from a local bakery or homemade.

Going to farmers markets.

Going to museums and art galleries.

Having dinner with friends. Either at a nice restaurant or having a dinner party.

Sleeping. Resting. Hibernating. Sitting. Napping. Relaxing. Being Present. Single tasking.

Espresso drinks at home, with a milk frother and espresso machine. The cost of a mid range espresso machine will pay for itself in no time if you drink takeout coffee regularly.

Bluetooth speakers in the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen.

Big, fluffy, white bath towels.

High quality, nontoxic personal care products. This goes for hair products, face products, body care, makeup, even toothpaste. Don't throw everything out, just be conscious of your purchases when you buy new things.

Going on picnics in the park.

Dark chocolate.

Gelato.

Days at the beach.

Beautiful lingerie.

Matcha lattes.

Going to brunch.

Going to the library and bookstores.

Smoothies.

Reservations at new and exciting restaurants.

Reusing pretty candle jars as containers.

Reading luxurious magazines and newspapers. Some of my favorite are Vogue, Town & Country, Architectural Digest, Food & Wine, Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, and The Wall Street Journal.

This home in Los Osos, California is a case of rich people not knowing what kind of decor they want. Zillow calls it a “Mediterranean Castle.” Whatever. It’s $2.9M and is a study in ostentation. You’ll love it.

Firstly, I wouldn’t want to climb all these steps to get into a house, no matter how they’re illuminated. 

This is outrageous. Who intentionally builds a house w/stairs like this? Where’s the mailbox?

Anyway, let’s imagine that we climbed up to the front door, I’m needing oxygen, and we’re hitting the intercom button on the right. (My house had that same intercom and it was so dated, people made fun of it.)

As soon as we enter the foyer, we can see how confused they are. There’s a big medieval soldier with a serene Zen motif, neither of which is Mediterranean. 

Notice the tile work, the columns (still no Mediterranean) and the bright red carpet.

I’m so confused. The fireplace has gryphons and I thought it was Egyptian, but it’s painted bright red. I give up w/this house, already.

Persian rug, Italian or French statue. 

The Buddha and a Chinese dragon, plus a statue on a Greek column that bears a resemblance to Puss in Boots. Also, more stairs just to get up to the kitchen.

The backsplash isn’t Mediterranean, or is it? I’m so confused.

The dining room. This decor is a League of Nations style.

Now, they tell me there’s an elevator.

Going down more stairs, we pass by some kind of a balcony.

And, out to a very Zen meditation room. 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hot tub w/so many jets. I’m afraid of it.

Here’s a bathroom- is that a horse in a coral in the ceiling light? 

Look at the closet doors. Are those posters?

Family room, maybe?

This is the balcony we saw before. There’s a French tapestry.

So, this would be the main bd. 

And, the en suite.

Looks like a home office.

And, a shower.

Another office?  Look at this fireplace. I can’t even.

Well, right about now in the tour, I feel like I need a drink.

WTH is this? 

Wine room? With a stage?

Maybe a guest room.

A studio? 

I guess the rough terrain doesn’t allow for a yard, so there’s a deck. I hate this house.

property websites aren't for buying houses they're for fantasising about living in your own house

god I’m putting “X Historical Thing was intended to show off people’s wealth” and putting it on a high shelf with “gaslight” and “toxic” until people learn what it does and doesn’t mean

wrong: this idea that most people sat down and consciously thought “hm! what will make me look rich? I will do that, very logically and methodically!”

right: the idea that style trends, and ideas about what constitutes Sophistication, Taste, and Elegance, are usually set by the upper class, and other people often try to copy them because they think those things are Sophisticated, Tasteful, and Elegant, NOT because they “make you look rich.” BUT they often end up representing conspicuous consumption without conscious intent because they’re trends set by people who can afford The Best (and therefore most expensive) of everything, in large quantities

people have always had personal aesthetic taste, and the drive to surround themselves with beauty. where it became a Display of Wealth was not usually in a coldly calculated decision to show off, but in the fact that fashion was driven by the wealthy
