Romanticize your life. This phrase is everywhere you look whether on Pinterest, Instagram, or a YouTube video. I love this concept and appreciate how well it is embraced in culture right now. And while I presume that most everyone reading the blog has implemented some form of romanticizing their everyday life in some way, I think that this concept is elevated even more by also romanticizing the details of everyday life too.
A beautiful life starts with how we go about performing tasks and routines in a more gentle and luxurious way, but I like to tend to the details of my life with opportunities to refine the experience by elevating the details of everyday life as well. While curating and showing up for these moments are important, bringing in a touch of luxury through beautiful objects and details to me is also equally important. I am always on the lookout on how to elevate these moments in my life and love discovering new ways to make any moment a more beautiful one.
Romanticizing life and romanticizing the details of everyday life are different concepts though related. In this concept it’s not about what you are doing (romanticizing life), it’s about how you’re doing it (romanticizing the details).
-Savoring a coffee in the morning is romanticizing life, doing it from an elegant cup and saucer is romanticizing the details.
-A weekly face mask at home is romanticizing life, using a delicate mother of pearl caviar dish, spoon, and brush to apply the mask is romanticizing the details.

In life I really do believe that it is the thoughtful touches and attention to details that elevates a moment from one that may be ordinary into one of enchantment or luxury. Incorporating these details into everyday moments will ensure that your days are infused a touch of glamour and intention.
