Lean Luxury

Lean Luxury is first and foremost about being healthy - both in mind and body. In the words of Winston Churchill:

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

If we strive to make our individual worlds as luxurious as possible we not only give ourself the best chance to be healthy we also gift this to those who share our life - our family and friends.

So it starts with healthy delicious satisfying chef driven recipes and then it's is all about the details,  little touches to create a beautiful luxurious life.   Flowers on the tray, a new book at lunchtime to read as you sip soup or a linen napkin with family supper - treat yourself and those around you.  I like to think of them as little gifts I give myself and others to create happiness.  You don't have to spend a lot of money on this Lean Luxury - I find simple, inexpensive ways to create an oasis of beauty to live in and share with others that I like to call Lucy's Life Hacks.
