Top 10 Ways To Add Sparkle To Everyday Life
Top 10 Ways To Add A Little Bit of Sparkle To Everyday Life
Sponsored post in association with American Express®
I’m not sure if you are agree, but I feel like we are “rewarding” ourselves with little things far more. I wouldn’t call these “guilty pleasures”, they are more like everyday perks that add a little bit of sparkle to our lives.
It’s not just milestone moments like booking a trip of a lifetime or putting a deposit down on a house that are making us happy, sometimes spending on something as small as a lipstick on our lunch hour or a coffee on route to work can truly add a little sparkle to our lives. The current trend for “everyday treats” is on the rise.
A recent survey by American Express** revealed that Brits treat themselves to a little treat, on average 3 times a week, with one in six (17%) doing so at least once a day. I expect I fall into that bracket!
Brit’s official Top 10 treats are:
1 Ordering a takeaway (30%)
2 Reading a book (27%)
3 Going out for dinner (26%)
4 Watching a favourite film or TV show (23%)
5 Having a lie in (22%)
6 Going to the pub or bar (19%)
7 Eating ice cream (18%)
8 Having a bath (16%)
9 Buying a new item of clothing or pair of shoes (16%)
10 Going to the cinema (14%)
It’s so true, because a lot of the things I do fitted in nicely with the findings. That’s why I’ve teamed up with American Express to share some of my top every day perks. I’d love to hear what yours are too?? Please leave me a comment below!
Being a lover of fashion and style, I love giving myself a little mid week treat, be it shoes or a gorgeous new perfume to boost my mood.
Pampering
Being kind to yourself is such an important thing to do and something I think we often forget. It’s so good for our bodies and minds to occasionally be pampered and looked after. Book in for a relaxing massage or simply enjoy an indulgent bath at home for free. Bliss!
Food and drink
Two of life’s greatest pleasures are food and drink. From little everyday treats like a coffee from the local deli on route to work, to enjoying breakfast in bed on the weekend to going for dinner and drinks with friends and family, I love spending time over food and really enjoying it.
And my top 2 treats, being a travel blogger are indulging in an ice cream and hitting the beach, even better if it’s both at the same time!
Which is exactly what I’m off to do now. See you next time guys.
Bon Voyage xx

Daily Dream Home: Terrell Hills
Today’s home in the Terrell Hills area near San Antonio, Texas is a classic English Tudor built in 1900 and envisioned by architect Atlee B. Ayres. His exquisite taste for English style is evident in the richly detailed elegance of the home`s facade of striking dark red brick, asymmetrical gables, slated roofs and gabled dormer windows.
The elegantly crafted home is comprised of approximately 11,000 square feet, and subtly brings together rich Elizabethan and Jacobean detailing. The grand formal living room is distinguished by plaster ceilings with delicate fleur-de-lis detailing. The focal point of the room is the oversized herringbone fireplace with columned marble mantel.
The adjoining family room with dark oak floors is accentuated by a ceiling modeled after Skibo Castle in Scotland. The dining room exhibits one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Gracie wallpaper and notable leaded-glass windows with crests, while the grand study showcases original Moravian tile. The chef`s kitchen features white marble counters, stainless steel appliances and island with seating.
The outdoor space includes multiple patios and a reflecting pool, harmoniously blending to create a rare convergence of incomparable grandeur with unique elements of a bygone area. These idyllic accents create an unparalleled private compound in the heart of Terrell Hills.
This classic estate is listed for $5 million with Phyllis Browning Company and is showcased by Luxury Portfolio.

Kitchen Renovation to Remember
I came across this kitchen on Instagram and it’s definitely one for the future home file. It impressed me even more after I saw the before photos on ArchitecturalDigest.com. Designer Katie Hackworth took the family’s dated kitchen from the 1960’s and brought it into the 21st-century in a beautiful and functional way. The lack of upper cabinets opens up the space and allows for more light. Because I know you’ll ask, the walls are Benjamin Moore Crisp Linen pale green and the upper cabinets in the back are Plantation. For some reason, they don’t give the paint color for the bottom cabinets. I was just having a conversation about brass fixtures with a friend. In this kitchen, they mixed brass cabinet pulls and light fixtures with darker hardware on the windows and pendant fixture, and what looks like a chrome faucet and stainless stove. Somehow it all works together to create a harmonious kitchen that makes me want to renovate mine and will probably make you want to renovate too.
