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.

Summer in Nice, France.
What’s does 7am look like for you? 7am is usually the time I wake up, everything happens a little later when you are on holidays. My day starts with a run down the Nice Beach esplanade & a cup of coffee, of course!!
Where are you around noon? Noon is for the beach! We have been spending our days at various beaches across the French Riviera, laying in the sun & reading a good book, or playing sudoku (my new found hobby).
What's your favourite indulgence after a long day? My favourite way to end a long day at the beach is to have a shower & rinse off all the salt. I then apply my Super Hydration Serum and Barrier Balance Cream before sitting on our beautiful balcony with a glass of French champagne. Nothing better really!

Where are you around noon? 12pm - Around noon I’m either at the beach or somewhere basking in the sun.
What part of your home do you retreat to after a busy day? 5pm - After a busy day I hop in bed and drink my homemade blueberry matcha to unwind.
Are there specific rituals that help you unwind after a busy day?
I have been making an effort to journal each evening, even after a long day. It is nice to reflect on my day and put all my thoughts on paper!
