At Strange Luxury, we believe that true beauty is found in the moments we take for ourselves; the quiet rituals, the small acts of self-care, and the mindfulness that nourishes both body and soul. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Dear Angels, a new content series dedicated to celebrating real lives, real routines, and the extraordinary beauty of everyday rituals. These are moments from around the globe.

How do you make your first few hours feel gentle or grounding?
Sun before screens!! if you listen to Mel robins you might have heard about it. I use to gravitate to my phone each more Now I make an effort to open the blinds and sit in the sun (or clouds) and open my eyes outside before looking at my screen. It was not an easy habit to crack but it has changed my life.

What helps you wind down after the work part of your day ends?
Now that it’s winter the ocean is so flat and perfect. I have been making an effort to see the sunset most afternoons.

What part of your home do you retreat to after a busy day?
My trampoline desk! I sit out here for hours. It feels like I am laying in the grass beyond the trees.

Where do your nighttime rituals happen - sink, bed, floor, bath?
If its my night on on dinner usually start with prep in the kitchen, I then shower the day off, do my skincare and get into my comfy clothes.

Are there specific rituals that help you unwind after a busy day?
If I don't make it to the sunset we will still do afternoon walk around the neighbourhood. I am huge on manifesting /mindfulness atm, i try and run through the things that I am grateful for or even a small win of the day- sometimes verbally or written.
