Affordable Luxury; Living Opulence Your Own Way!
I know that some of you might doubt the title of this article when you read it. The words ‘affordable’ and ‘luxury’ are never used at the same time… or are they? Well, if some product or service is luxurious, it’s hardly affordable in the world we live in, right? Affordable luxury is an oxymoron as we know. But what if I tell you each one of us; average persons can achieve the lifestyle we’ve dreamed of? A ‘Luxury Lifestyle’ can be described as living a life which is seen as a state of great comfort, elegance, and pleasure without any feeling of “being poor.” The label, ‘luxury’ is traditionally associated with the word ‘expensive.’ But luxury is a very relative term, which depends on the way we look at it. Sometimes all you need is a glass of water, but a glass of beer can be a luxury at that particular moment. Or think of an instant when you just bought an expensive pair of sneakers but saw most of the people who passed by wear similar pairs. This is where the concept of ‘affordable luxury’ comes into play. Affordable luxury is based on how do we live our

Coping with the ‘NEW NORMAL’
Home is the one place where we can be ourselves. Family accepts you for who you are – or do they? Well COVID-19 will certainly test that… Family is the most priceless and significant thing that an individual has. It’s where we learn the value of affection, care, love, and truthfulness. Where our beliefs, values and personalities are formed. With the advent of COVID we are entering into ‘a new normal’. The first two weeks at home may feel exciting, cozy, and a great way to reconnect. But now as the lockdown is extending, it just seems like a crushing challenge. So, during this challenging time, what the hell can we do not to get on each other’s nerves? To stick together, to become even stronger? If we focus on family in the same way we focus on doing well with a new partner, or impressing our boss 🙂 we can get through this… No Space to Breathe In the busy routine of our lives, we often find it hard to get free time with our family, well COVID certainly changed that reality. Now, we not only have time, we are ‘locked in the same ‘quarters’ as our family.
Packing Tips
Would you like to travel smoothly through airport security? It’s become more and more congested. Passengers haven’t taken the time to read the rules, and that slows everyone down and makes the boarding process more frustrating. First and foremost, make sure your carry-on bag is the correct size.

It is amazingly satisfying to open your suitcase, and everything is neatly in place. I assure you, once you start using packing cubes, you will not pack a bag without them again. Even unpacking becomes easier! Many experienced traveler’s packs in individual packing cubes so that all their underwear, socks, and sleepwear are together.
