7 QUALITIES OF A LUXURY LIFESTYLE

Once I made the decision that there was a certain type of luxury that I was looking for, and it was one that I had to create, I began making a list of attributes that I felt you would find in a luxurious lifestyle. These attributes go beyond just having money to spend, and revolve around comfort and value of self.

1. GOOD FOOD
   

            People who attract and achieve great wealth enjoy great food. But not always the quick fast food crap. Mostly, they are quality meals, prepared in their homes by a chef or by themselves. They use fresh ingredients and are a lot of times of high nutritional value. Lenny Kravitz showed his gorgeous Brazilian farm in the Open Door series by Architectural Digest, and one of the main things that I remember about his home was the pile of fresh native fruit sitting on the dining room table, ready to be eaten and prepared.

1. GREAT PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES
   

If all of your friends are balling and going places, you’ll be balling and going places. I love seeing groups of people together who enjoy similar activities, are in similar places in life, and all are successful in their lifestyle of choices. Ultimately the people who run in wealthy crowds emanate high vibes and attract the best of life to themselves, including people. This basically means cutting out the negative and the limited, and no more giving play time to dusties. This also means being willing to curate experiences and entertainment for you all to enjoy together, whether in your home or in other intimate settings.

1. EARLY MORNING ROUTINES
   

The top business people in the world get up at or close to the butt-crack of dawn. This time isn’t usually taken to work though. It’s to romanticize the early morning air, do a little self care & journaling, and to exercise. 

1. RICH MIND
   

My mother disagrees with my viewpoint, but I love how free Kylie Jenner is. The girl is young and rich. Yes, she and her family have been the faces of controversy for many years, and Kylie may have been raised wealthy. However, if you were to really break down the mindset that most people with money have, especially White people with money, there’s no hesitation in their minds about where their money will come from, if the money will come, or about splurging on the things that they want. None of the Kardashian/Jenner women behave like they’re going to lose their privileged lifestyle anytime soon, and honestly I don’t think that has much to do with what they currently have. Their belief in the impossible was instilled in them, and they continue to have one, manifesting all of their goals and dreams. Doubting your own abilities or the beauty of your own life is the first thing that will block your achievements. If you want to live luxury, you have to already feel and think in luxury. Own it no matter what.

1. CLEANLINESS
   

It is not uncommon to see spotless mansions or penthouses. Organized homes are a sign of “money” or of being well put together. It is essential that the home looks clean and smells clean, but don’t stop there. Walking out of the house looking dirty is also a no-no if you are living and attracting a high-value lifestyle or person. Nice skin is a major focus, especially if you plan on being in front of the camera a lot. So investment in cleaning products that will improve your appearance and your living space are a must.

1. TASTE FOR ART
   

I noticed that wealthy people enjoy the arts and go out for experiences that involve performance art. It’s a privilege to enjoy a live stageplay or opera. I was exposed to a lot of performance art growing up, which later on in life I found out many of my peers hadn’t been so fortunate. Spending your money on experiences, as well as material things, allows you to enjoy things that enrich your life and lends itself to your being more interesting in person. Buying art pieces is also seen as an investment. According to moneysthegame.com, investing in art is like buying pretty stocks and bonds that you can hang in your home and enjoy visually on a daily basis ( more from that article https://moneysthegame.com/post/why-do-the-rich-invest-in-art/). This is also a great things to consider when decorating your home; having a high value home should include interesting art pieces, sculptures, patterns, and furniture.

1. PEOPLE AROUND YOU THAT KEEP YOU TOGETHER
   

Though it’s totally possible to get fit on your own, to get to the goals that many wealthy/celeb people have been able to achieve, a trainer can be very helpful. The same thing goes for staying organized and productive at a high rate. The busiest business people have managers or assistants who specialize in keeping dates, timelines, and files. There’s a person to do your nails, a person who does your hair, and a therapist or someone you go to when things get stressful. Knowing who to go to for what you need to continue running your company and your life is essential to living in luxury. A proper network keeps the stress down, freeing up brainspace to relax and enjoy.

1. LIMIT THE FCKRY
   

I think that it’s unfortunate that many wealthy Black women artists are promoting a toxic standard for showing how much money you have. The energy behind putting down other women, behaving rambunctiously in public, or being rude or disrespectful because it’s cool to be “savage” is disturbing. I find that the wealthiest people ride a higher vibe, spreading that vibe around, only speaking publicly about what matters. They carry themselves with class in front of others. They limit their complaints & gossip, well aware that any negativity that you put into your environment can come back to you and mess up all of your manifesting without expecting it.

Anything, I miss? Let me know!
