💝 Little Luxuries for Everyday Joy
|
Hi, Peeps!! I’ll just say it plainly: I am a bougie girl. Through and through. I use the nice dishes, the nice glasses, the cloth napkins. But most of my favorite luxuries aren’t flashy — they’re practical. 🛏️ Good sheets. Yes, they can feel expensive upfront. (I’m still using sheets I bought ten years ago — and they are divine.) Luxury isn’t about excess. If something improves your daily life — your sleep, your cooking, your comfort — it’s not indulgent. Joy doesn’t have to be saved for special occasions. I'd love to know your little luxuries! Hugs and Smooches, people! Ashley |

Happy Sunday, Sweet Friends! Somewhere along the way, hosting picked up a reputation it never asked for. ((Social media does the perfection game no favors, y'all!)) Complicated. Stressful. Performative.Perfect or nothing. But here’s what I know to be true — from years of inviting people into my home: Dinner parties can change the world.Not because the food is flawless.But because people are fed and seen. You don’t need matching dishes.You don’t need an Instagram-worthy menu.You don’t need to...
