Petit Plaisirs

The French define le Petit Plaisir as a simple indulgence that brings great pleasure and enjoyment. The English translation, small pleasures or simple pleasures.
Petit Plaisir posts began being shared on TSLL in January 2014, and when The Simple Sophisticate podcast premiered in September 2014, they punctuated the end of each episode: an idea to make the everyday all the more enjoyable. From a recommended and loved book, a film, a show, a recipe, anything that satiates your sophisticated taste, Petit Plaisirs elevate our lives, help us savor the present moment and need not be of great expense and sometimes are absolutely priceless. Look for a new Petit Plaisir with each new episode of The Simple Sophisticate podcast.

Ahhhh France - Normandy, France, and their colorful spring crops as seen during my trip this past April. I share this pic today because a new episode is on the podcast sharing My 10 Things I Do to Lessen Jet Lag (flying from the west coast to Western Europe), and nope, there is no cure-all, as I share at the top of the show, but there are things to reduce its effects. Tune in to Episode #333 on @thesimplesophisticatepodcast now wherever you enjoy your favorite podcasts.

Weekend calm and grounding (whilst 'standing' on the clearest blue water watching the trout swim below).
A new month begins and that means a new A Cuppa Moments w/Shannon video chat with fellow TOP Tier Members from around the world, each living their own unique simply luxurious life. 

This month's chat is more than 50+ minutes full of books, films, French series and events, take walks with Norman, spend time in my garden, articles that caught my eye and much more. 

Wishing you a wonderful start to July. 😌
Summer mornings at Le Papillon.

In TSLL's free monthly newsletter which arrives on the last day of each month, along with the round-up of the month's post, an exclusive letter from the editor is shared with subscribers offering inspiration for the new month ahead. Just a handful of hours ago, June's monthly newsletter arrived in inboxes, and the letter this month focused on the discovering of a deeper peace and calm in my days than I have ever known before and sharing ideas for subscribers to savor and create their own as well. 

If you would like to sign up for this monthly newsletter (TOP Tier Members are automatically signed up), there are many routes to the page on the blog to do so: (1) click on the link in my IG profile and then scroll to Newsletters in the list, (2) visit the blog and click Newsletters in the upper right-hand corner or (3) visit directly ➡️ https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/newsletter-signup/

Wishing you a wonderful final day in this month of June. Bonne journée 😌☀️
