Yes, Valentine’s Day has been and gone and yes, it’s a while to go for a birthday or Christmas but really, aren’t we all worth a little luxury every now and again?
The answer is a resounding yes and if you’re looking to drop a hint, or even just treat yourself, we take a look at some of those little luxuries in life that are going to brighten up your day and leave you with a little glow of happiness.
Moonstone Diamond Ring – Enchantment
Bright and Shiny
Nothing says “I love you” better than an unprompted gift and whether you want to do the treating or feel like splashing out a little then look no further than buying some unique jewelry.
If that special ring does not look like it’s coming any time soon then why not choose your own? Find something with stunning good looks that take your breath away. It doesn’t have to cost the earth but why not commission a jeweler to create something that is totally unique to you or for the loved one you’re shopping for? If you’re local to DC, definitely check out Shah & Shah! They can even take outdated heirloom pieces and create something new and special!
Time to Glow
Now we know that those drug store face creams and beauty products can be just fine, but how about just spending a little bit a lot, extra on some creams that will give you a real lift? Try this la prairie product on for size. The last word in luxury skin care, this cream guarantees nourished and rejuvenated skin and starting around $500, we should think so too.
Accessories
You’ve got enough you say? We thought not. It doesn’t have to be big or extravagant, it doesn’t even have to be jewelry but when you want something to give you a lift and chase away those wet weather blues, a little bit of accessorizing never hurt anyone.
Check out luxury handbags from designer stores such as Burberry all the way down to Mango. Break out of your usual neutral shopping pattern and choose something bold and daring to go with those new shoes you’re just about to buy. And you know what? Shoes do count as accessories so buying that pair that’s been calling you for ages is totally justified. Buy what makes you happy whether it’s some cheap earrings from a market stall or a designer bag.
While sometimes saving, staying in and generally being very responsible with your money is absolutely the right thing to do, there are times when a little splurge is just what’s needed.
Whether you’re treating yourself or a loved one, think unique. There’s little point splashing out on brands for the sake of it, but rather opt for one off, handmade pieces that say as much about your personality as they do your bank balance.
Drop that hint if you need to but if you need to take matters into your own hands, make it count and add some glitz, some glow and some glamour into your life.
