These days, I’m amazed by how everyday indulgences can make me feel so good.  I’m talking about the simple, little luxuries that take only a little time and usually don’t cost much to to enjoy. Think lighting a lovely fragranced candle, buying yourself some fresh flowers, lounging in pajamas, reading your favorite magazine cover-to-cover, trying a DIY hair mask…little things that can give you so much joy. 

The root of this joy for me, I’ve found, is the intention of setting aside the time to do something for ME, with attention to the details.  Click through the slideshow above to find 11 little luxuries worth indulging in today, and tell me what you love to do, too!  Cheers, Kat

I never need an excuse to pop open a bottle of wine, but after reading The French Beauty Solution, I'm quick to pour myself a glass to enjoy wine's antioxidant-rich goodness for my skin, of course. One glass and I'm nice and relaxed!
