Living a Life of Luxury on a Budget

March 7, 2019 No Comments

When it comes to living luxuriously, many people assume you need to be dripping in Gucci, flying in a private jet, and kicking back in a Tesla. But, that isn’t living luxuriously, that is showing off wealth. Luxury isn’t about what you spend, it’s about how you feel. For some people, luxury is their beautiful beach condo and fresh coffee each morning. For others, it’s the smell of their wet dog after a run through the woods in the rain. Real luxury, in most cases, is the little treats that we can give ourselves that don’t put us in debt. […]

Valentines Day Couples / www.vanessahwood.com

Who doesn’t love a good love story? I know I sure do! I love to watch romantic movies and read romantic books. I also love to read and hear about how people and “fell in love”. Just like everyone, celebrities have romantic meet-cute stories. For example, did you know that Chrissy Teigen met John Legend on the set of his music video for “Stereo” where she co-starred as his love-interest? And did you know that Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend? So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d […]
