Luxe Multi-Hyphenate

Life can be chaotic, unpredictable, and downright exhausting at times—but I’ve found that holding on to a few small, steady joys can make all the difference. These aren’t grand events or once-in-a-lifetime experiences. They’re simple, grounding parts of my day that bring a little light, no matter what’s going on.

Here are five things that bring me happiness every single day:

Prayer Starting or pausing my day with prayer keeps me grounded. It’s a moment of connection, reflection, and peace—a reminder that I’m never alone, no matter how noisy the world gets. A Hot Morning Shower There’s something about that first shower of the day that resets everything. It’s quiet, it’s calming, and it feels like a clean slate—literally and mentally. Coffee (obviously) That first sip? Pure magic. It’s not just about caffeine—it’s the ritual. The warmth in your hands, the aroma in the air, and that moment when the day starts to officially begin. Sunny, Warm Weather Nothing lifts my mood faster than sunshine and warmth. A clear sky, a gentle breeze, and that golden light on your face—it’s like nature’s way of saying, “Today’s going to be okay.” A Healthy Family At the end of the day, this is what matters most. Knowing my loved ones are safe and well fills me with gratitude. And let’s be honest—pictures of my nephew? Easily the highlight of any day. Those little moments, those smiles, those reminders of love and innocence—they’re everything.

Happiness doesn’t always come from big things. Sometimes, it’s these daily rituals and reminders that keep your heart full.
