“TSLL casts a much more interesting proposition than just being another lifestyle blog that encourages its visitor what to buy. I believe the most powerful concept from Shannon is this – It’s not just about LOOKING luxurious, but more about developing a WAY OF LIFE and a MINDSET that makes us FEEL our life is RICH and REWARDING.”

“TSLL is an engaged and optimistic online community that’s a joy to be part of. I’ve followed countless suggestions from TSLL for books, podcasts, articles and magazines over the years, used Shannon’s listings for suggestions on where to stay/what to do when I travel, I cook from her recipes, learn from her approach to gardening, decor and style, I’ve changed my exercise routine, taken up daily meditation- the list goes on. TSLL has literally changed the way I do things, how I think about the world and go about my everydays. I encourage you to go ahead and join- you’ll be so glad you did.”

“The Simply Luxurious Life has been a treasured part of my reading life for years. As a longtime top-tier/premier member, I especially look forward to Shannon’s book recommendations, the evolution of her home and garden, her decorating choices, and whatever she is cooking.
I share Shannon’s love of France and England, and having had an apartment in Paris for many years, I particularly enjoy the French influences woven into her everyday life. Add bookshops, beautiful interiors, and gathering around a table, and there is so much here that speaks to my own interests. I especially enjoy following her decisions as she renovates and decorates—seeing a home take shape over time is such a pleasure.
Shannon has created something I deeply appreciate: a place where the everyday details of life deserve attention and care. I often leave with a book to find, something to cook, or a fresh idea for my own home. There is a lovely sense of companionship in returning to her work, and that is what has kept me reading all these years.”

“I cannot begin to cover all the ways that TSLL content has improved my life: practically, emotionally, thoughtfully, etc.. I discovered a way to incorporate meditation into my daily life—just one example; capsule (lifetime) wardrobe; capsule menus (which I just discovered); the idea that luxury need not be tied to money; the concept of contentment, and, crucially, a place where I feel like so many other community members are similar to me in habit, thinking, temperament … so much. And I am so grateful.”

“I look forward to reading Shannon’s various articles as they’re insightful and informative. She takes the time to really explore an issue so that I always feel that I have learned something or am inspired to action. The weekly posts are a treat to be savoured with a cuppa of your beverage of choice.”

“I just love the variety of topics on TSLL and thoroughly enjoy reading all contents. It relaxes me and inspires me at the same time. Many thanks Shannon!”
—from Tanya S., 10/31/2026
“Thank you for the bountiful content you provide! I love reading about the many different areas to cultivate a life of contentment, especially in simple, everyday ways. The Contentment Masterclass is life-changing! I also love your books and have all of them. Being a TSLL Premier member has enhanced my life in so many ways, including starting a morning meditation practice this year. Thanks for all you do!”

“The Simply Luxurious Life has changed the way I look at an ordinary day. I have followed Shannon’s blog and listened to her podcast for ten years, and in that time, I have learned that luxury isn’t about spending more, but about noticing more, savoring more, and caring more about the simple things in life. Her encouragement to move through everyday routines without rushing has helped me become more intentional about the little moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Through A Cuppa Moments, Shannon has created a community of like-minded people who are encouraged to connect with one another in a sincere and respectful way, sharing stories, ideas, and inspiration for savoring the everyday.
If you’re looking to bring a little more calm, beauty, and delight into your everyday life, The Simply Luxurious Life is the place for you.”

“The Simply Luxurious Life is the only blog of its kind I subscribe to, and it has become a much-loved part of my everyday life. Shannon writes beautifully, offering thoughtful reflections on living intentionally and finding joy in simple moments. After years of reading her posts and books and listening to her podcasts, I feel a real connection with her way of thinking. Reading the Monday and Friday posts after my daily walk is a ritual I treasure. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to bring more care, attention and enjoyment to everyday life.”

“I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you how much I’ve been enjoying your weekly meditation series. This is something I’ve been meaning to tell you ever since you began the series back in January.
I’ve been listening every week, and it honestly feels like you always seem to get exactly where I am in life and what I need to hear in that moment. Your meditations have been incredibly grounding, encouraging, and comforting, and I’m so grateful that you’re sharing them with us.
Thank you for creating such a thoughtful and meaningful space each week. It has truly made a difference for me.”
—from Stephanie O., 8/1/2026
“Hello, Shannon, to echo the other wonderful members of this community, thank you for all that you do! This space, regardless of the tier you chose, is inspiring, uplifting and a place where one can truly be oneself within a community of others doing the same yet still feeling a part of the whole. Having started long ago as non-member then moving quickly up the tiers to the now Premier, what you provide is contemplative, inviting, encouraging and entertaining, usually all at once. I’m looking forward to what waits for us down the road!”
—from Nanci., 6/5/2026
“The content you create here on the blog is so thoughtfully put together, second to none and worth the subscription. I have been following along for many years, even before the subscription was available and I must say it was an easy choice to become member.”
—from Rona., 6/5/2026
“Thank YOU for creating such a fabulous, joyous, erudite, and welcoming space that celebrates tous les petits bons moments de la vie! Gros bisous 🥰 (Et bien sûr, pour la Belle Nelle aussi XOXO).”

“While I’m emailing, I just wanted to say how much I value being part of the TSLL community. I’m not much of a commenter, but I always read your posts and regularly listen to the podcast while I’m running around my local London park. TSLL is a big part of my life and I’m deeply grateful for everything you do.”
—from Kristi A., 4/5/2026
“I want to tell you that TSLL has been life-changing for me. A couple of years ago, I made the decision to cultivate contentment, and the content you provide has been (and is still) pivotal to this work. I honestly don’t know what I would do without your guidance.
“The blog offers so much, and the Contentment Masterclass is a deep dive in how to adopt and implement contentment skills. Both have helped me make a profound change in my life. I live everyday now using the skills I have learned from you to live in the details of my everydays, noticing, and savoring. Thank you for being such an inspiration and for all that you do on the blog. It means so much to your followers.
“And, I’ll say here too that your content on the blog and the lessons you teach in the Contentment Masterclass have helped me come to know that following my inner compass is a way to a life of love, peace, and true contentment. Thank you for the lessons you teach, the guidance you give, and the inspiration you are. See you on the blog!”

“I really enjoy your podcast and have listened to almost all of the episodes, some of them multiple times, like your travel episodes or the ones about creating the perfect wardrobe. I don’t know how to say this without sounding a little bit weird, but you mean so much to me. I have learned so much, gained perspective on my life and how to live with purpose and content[ment].”
—from Sue, 2/1/2026
“I so enjoyed A Cuppa Moments today. I look forward to these posts to begin each month, it’s like a friend dropping by for a chat . . . It is an absolute pleasure and a privilege to be part of the TSLL community. I mean that most sincerely. I gain so much inspiration and confidence from your posts.”
—from Danette, 1/17/2026
“I am currently a Top Tier member and truly enjoying your content – thank you so much for sharing your insights and creativity. I try to read your posts as often as I can, especially when I need a little ‘pick-me-up.’ They always leave me feeling inspired, encouraged, and grounded.
“I especially enjoy your cooking shows and often find myself watching several episodes at a time, whether simply for leisure or when I need inspiration to step into my kitchen and whip up something nourishing. Your approach to food feels so intentional and comforting. You’ve also inspired me to decorate my kitchen with greater thoughtfulness and purpose and I draw so much inspiration from your home-decorating content. I truly appreciate the way you emphasize savoring one’s home and environment – it resonates deeply with me.”

“Shannon feels like a good friend who is well-read, well-travelled, and sophisticated with an honest, personal touch. She never runs out of advice on books, films, health, beauty, style—you name it. I’ve become a top-tier member, and I’m getting so much out of the ample material; it’s definitely having a big impact on my life!”
—from Abigail, 9/2024
“Your writing and podcasts are ‘just the thing.’ Their brilliant — thoughtful, beautifully recorded, human and relatable, covering topics relevant to those looking to reflect, grow, savor, offer their best to the world, and practice fiscal savviness while living a simple life of luxurious contentment.
“In the nearly 10 years I have been visiting the online destination, listening to podcasts, sharing in the joys and challenges of Shannon and fellow readers (kindred spirits), enjoying the content, watching the development of TSLL, reflecting and growing as a person — it’s been a delight. Looking forward to another 10 years of Shannon’s journey and TSLL.”
—from Jess F., 4/5/25
“’I’ve been listening to your podcast for years and have gotten a lot of pleasure from it. Thank you for your hard work.
What prompted me to email you was that I stumbled across a word that made me think of you and I thought you would enjoy it.
It was quaintrelle: a woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.”
—from Dale T., 4/25
“Hi Shannon,
Your posts are like literary hugs. They are so inspiring.
Thank you for the work you do.”
—from Diana P., 10/31/25
“I’m so grateful I found TSLL and you! Your steadfastness in publishing deeply thoughtful content filled with recommendations that feel so spot on with my take on the world gives me immense joy and a feeling of connection. Thank you so much. I am well aware of how much time it must take you to research, write, edit, embed and send these emails. Just incredible.”
—from Elizabeth B., 10/29/25
“I just want to share that your posts about contentment and savoring are so helpful to me. I’m in a very busy period right now, and what keeps me from feeling overwhelmed, is remembering to pause and savor … It makes possible such an incredible mind shift —from overwhelm to contentment with everything just as it is! Thak you so much for all of your visual and written reminders that you share with all of us.”
“I’ve been thinking more about your sharing the importance of savoring… and something that I think is very important that you inspire us to do, is to try to make every moment, no matter how humble, an opportunity to savor. For example, even when you are at your potting table, you pour a pretty cup of tea, have a few ginger biscuits, and enjoy the beauty of the scene. Also, I find it so inspiring to see all of your photos of your office desk ready for work with your pot of tea and snacks. What I love about this approach, as in the busiest of days, with deadlines and long list that must be done, we can still savor that process, if we make it our intention to do so with small pleasures! Thanks again for the invaluable inspiration!”

“Your Friday posts are the BEST!” (learn more about TSLL’s Friday posts here, a tradition that began back in 2011)
—from Vickie I., 8/2024
“Hi Shannon, it makes me smile to know that I am one of the Simply Luxurious Life’s early followers. I hope you can understand how truly grateful I am to have this community in my life. Learning to savor life’s moments has been quite a journey for me and I so appreciate all of your wonderful guidance. I’d say that you truly have identified your dharma, which is such a wonderful thing- to really know what your gifts are and to put them out into the world! I wish you many more years of success, joy and contentment. Thank you for your lovely gesture of appreciation and thank you for all that you do. Merci!”
—from Beth T., 8/2025
“Your passion for what you do for TSLL is always evident but especially during British and French Weeks. I have greatly enjoyed living vicariously through you this past week as you have shared many of your experiences during your latest sojourn to France. Thank you for the time you invest in creating such lovely content!”
—from Julia, 12/8/23
“I am not a member who has been with you since the beginning, but once I found TSLL, I knew it was something I would enjoy on a regular basis. And I was so right.
There is so much content of all sorts available online, social media, streaming, etc., much which provides information along with a fair amount of angst. At TSLL I have found a platform that is not just informative, but provides the knowledge and guidance with calm and great intention. Quite simply, it is lovely to read, listen and watch!
Cheers to you Shannon for all you do for this community!”
—from Sarah, 7/28/23
“I’m recently single and realize we live in a world that equates a fulfilling life with romantic relationships and consumerism. There is little content out there showcasing women who enjoy solitude and simplicity who are peaceful and happy. Thank you for being that light.”
—from Michelle, 7/4/23
“I am in England for the first time, and I made sure to stop into James Smith and Sons’ umbrella shop upon your recommendation. I can’t even tell you how excited I was to be in the shop and to just be in England! Thank you so much for your recommendations and this amazing community you’ve created!”
—from Isabel M., 2/3/23
“It’s a treat to read and enjoy so many of Shannon’s suggestions on living a simply luxurious life. Enjoying every minute of it!”

“Let me please thank you one more time for all the good quality job you put out there for your fans. When reading your books I can appreciate life in a deeper level thanks to your tips and reminders, always reinforcing the message of quality over quantity.
You give me peace with your voice and wisdom while listening to your podcast.
And I finally have the best support in my kitchen with your cooking videos.
Thank you so much for all the love and effort you put into every single think you share.”
—from Rona, 11/24/22
“Shannon, I want to send you a quick ‘Thank You!’ for all of yoru creativity and love you send our way via the blog, the podcast and cooking show! I am so grateful for all you-and your lovely furry companions-do and share. (Everyone, if you are not already a member of The Simply Luxurious Life, I entreat you to do so. Shannon has created such a lovely, happy space, you will not regret it.) xoxo.”

—from Beth L., 5/5/19
“What an inspiring blog. I often find myself thinking about what I have read from Shannon or have listened to on her podcasts. Smart, timely, full of common sense solutions to make everyday count 100%. The Simply Luxurious Life has helped me to develop my goal for this year— to be more active and less busy. The recipes and dietary ideas are first class as well. I love her videos and have tried several of her ideas.”
—from Rachel H., 4/4/19
