If you asked me a couple of years ago how I would spend my money if I were filthy rich, I would tell you there are three things. They aren’t extravagant things, but things to have constantly.
In 2016, a reporter interviewed a guy named Issac Carranza about what he would spend his money on if he won Powerball. He replied, “Hookers and cocaine!”
In reality, the man was married with two small children and said it as a joke. He got tons of laughs as people watched his candid, quick-witted response. That was his 15 minutes of fame; you can watch it on Youtube.
The first item on my list would be to have fresh-cut flowers in my home all the time. When I see this on tv shows or magazines, I know it’s a planned set, but I love the look and idea.
Do I really have to be rich to have this “luxury” item? No. Three summers ago, Marty traded with a flower farmer spätzle for flowers every Saturday. Each week the flowers were different and lasted more than a week. I loved it!
An organic farm, Lovin Mama Farm, has fresh-cut flowers along with their certified organic produce this year at the Troy Farmers Market. Their kids love our spätzle, and I love their flowers, so they traded yesterday, and Marty brought home beautiful pink tulips. 🌷
My second lux item would be to have fresh linens on my bed every single day. The reality of putting freshly washed sheets on our bed every day isn’t going to happen; however, I do make our bed every day as I would with clean sheets. Most busy days, I don’t actually make the bed until bedtime, but I can’t sleep in a wrinkled unmade bed. A nap? Shit, I could sleep on a cactus. 🌵
My last item would be crystal clear square ice cubes. I know some people are like, she’s bat shit crazy; why does it matter? Well, because it does.
I am a person who not only likes to drink cocktails, but I have an appreciation for well-made, gorgeous, sexy AF cocktails; ice cubes do matter. I have ice molds that I use, but I want the cubes to be crystal clear, and they are not. I have to do my research on how to make this happen, I am sure there is a Youtube video out there.
Are these three things really luxurious? No. Are they important things? No. Are they necessary? No. Are they ridiculous to other people? Definitely yes. When I was living my life on the destination and not the journey, they represented a “Look, I made it” achievement. Now I can see these items are obtainable right now on my journey and don’t have to wait until I become rich. I AM already rich with everything in my life. 😊
Hi, use filtered water to make crystal clear cubes.
