Now that I’ve reached a point in my life where comfort is my top priority, I’ve learned the art of splurging more mindfully. Lately, I’ve been drawn to fresh flowers— they have a way of bringing joy and beauty into my space. Of course, it’s no small investment. Buying a bouquet or a box of these blooms costs nearly as much as one sack of rice (or more!) but the happiness they bring makes it all worth it.
I’ve also upgraded my pillows, a small luxury that has made a world of difference. Gone are the days of settling for the cheapest ones from the nearest public market. Now, I have a pair of pillows that transport me back to the comfort of the many hotels I’ve stayed in—soft, plush, and offering that perfect level of support. It’s these mindful upgrades that have added a touch of indulgence to my everyday life, without losing sight of practicality.
Waking up to the sight of fresh flowers in my room feels like a gentle nudge from nature herself. These vibrant blooms, perched on my woven table, blend seamlessly with the soft tree-themed wallpaper that surrounds me. The contrast between the bright reds, peaches, and whites of the carnations and the greenery of the wallpaper creates a calming yet energizing atmosphere that makes mornings feel even more refreshing.
But it’s not just the mornings that these flowers enhance. In the evening, as I’m winding down, the gentle sight of these blooms sets the perfect mood before I sleep. They remind me to pause, breathe, and appreciate the beauty in the little things. The flowers, along with the golden batik shawl I brought back from my trip to Bali, Indonesia many years ago, create a sense of warmth and nostalgia that makes my space feel extra special. The shawl, rich in color and memories, drapes over my bed, complementing the natural tones of the room and making it a cozy retreat at night.
And then, there are my pillows —though I can’t quite remember the brand (it might be Hush), they are definitely not your ordinary pillows. Soft, supportive, and designed for quality sleep, they make my bed the ultimate comfort zone, making it even easier to drift off with the fresh scent of flowers nearby.
No matter the time of day, these little details—whether it’s the flowers, the pillows, or my treasured batik shawl—transform my room into a space of calm and beauty. It’s these small elements that bring a soothing and vibrant energy, making me feel grateful to have such a peaceful environment to begin and end each day. --- What do you think of this version? It captures the idea of appreciating the flowers at any moment, both in the morning and at night, while creating a beautiful vibe in your room throughout the day.
