25 Little luxuries worth every penny

Hey friend,

Plot twist: Luxury is not Prada, Porsche, or Patek Philippe.

In fact, the best little luxuries in 2026 don't cost a penny.

🎧 New Episode: 25 Little Luxuries That Are Worth Every Penny in 2026

We're calling out the consumerism disguised as wellness and self-care that's all over social media.

You don't need expensive bath bombs, face masks, or aesthetic organizers to feel luxurious. You don't need to buy anything at all.

Luxury has become synonymous with status. So it’s easy to see why facials, vacations, and expensive accessories are the social media poster children for luxury.

But true luxury is creating a life you don’t need to escape or destress from.

It’s having the self-confidence that doesn’t require inanimate objects to legitimize.

Real luxury is found around you, not on Amazon.

We feel so strongly about this episode, we hope you’ll check it out. We even share our personal favorites in The Lightning Round at the end of the episode, so you'll get to hear what brings us joy without spending a dime.

And if you haven't already, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. We have a commentary episode coming up soon deinfluencing self-care overconsumption, and you're not going to want to miss it!
