I’m sure by now you’ve heard the girlies reference “the soft life,” and if by chance you haven’t, let me be the first to tell you that it is indeed a thing. But what does it mean? In short, living the soft life means living in comfort and luxury – kicking your feet up, eating all the snacks, and taking some much-needed downtime…super-prioritized self-care if you will.
It’s about enjoying the finer things without breaking the bank while making you feel like you spared no expense. Champagne on a beer budget, anyone? At first glance, it might seem like an unattainable lifestyle. But, with a few simple tweaks to your daily routine, you can easily slip into the soft life. Here’s how to get started!
1. Start by making yourself as comfortable as possible. Make sure your home is stocked with all the comforts of home, like cozy blankets, fluffy pillows, and fresh flowers. If you want to go the extra mile, invest in luxury items like a nice robe, heated foot massager, or scented candles. These additions can help you relax and truly savor the soft life experience.
2. Treat yourself to a bit of luxury every now and then. You don’t have to break the bank- splurge on something small that will make you feel special. If you’re feeling extra fancy, plan a spa day or take a relaxing weekend getaway.
3. Lighten up and have some fun! Make sure to add activities that bring you joy, like organizing art projects, reading your favorite books, or watching movies with friends. These simple and enjoyable things will help you relax and make the most of living a soft life.
4. Take time for yourself. Everyone needs a break from life’s everyday grind, and relaxing can be the perfect refresher. Whether it’s an hour of yoga in the morning or simply snuggling up in bed with a good book, taking time out for yourself will make living the soft life more enjoyable and stress-free.
5. Rediscover the joy of cooking. Eating out can get expensive, so why not use your downtime to brush up on your kitchen skills? Get creative in the kitchen and whip up something delicious you wouldn’t usually find in restaurants – who knows what culinary masterpieces will come out of it?
6. Make every day a spa day. Draw yourself a hot bath, make your own facial mask, or give yourself an at-home mani/pedi – whatever helps you to relax and feel pampered! Living the soft life isn’t just about luxury – it’s also about taking care of yourself.
7. Revel in the little things. It’s easy to get caught up in life’s big and stressful moments, but take some time to enjoy the beauty of everyday life. Listen to the birds singing outside your window, appreciate a good cup of coffee in silence, or sit back and admire the sunset – life can be beautiful if you take the time to notice it.
Living the soft life isn’t just about being comfortable – it’s also about taking pleasure in the little moments and appreciating all that life has to offer. So, kick up your feet, curl up in a nice plush blanket, and start living a bit softer today!
