This curated itinerary is your blueprint for a day of slow luxury: intentional rituals, gentle productivity, and indulgent self-care.
9:00 a.m. — Fresh Start, Fresh Sheets
Wake naturally—no alarms, no urgency. Strip your bed and toss your sheets into the wash while the morning light filters in. There’s something deeply cleansing about beginning the day knowing you’ll end it in crisp linens
9:30 a.m. — Hydrate and Ease In
Drink your first tall glass of water (we’re working toward 80 oz today). Open a window, light a candle, and let quiet music fill the room while you scroll Pinterest. Move slowly—this isn’t a morning for multitasking.
10:30 a.m. — Gentle Movement, Elevated Mood
Book a low-impact, grounding class—barre, Pilates, or yoga sculpt. Let the movement feel like meditation, reconnecting you to your breath and your body. On your way home, pick up a fresh pastry and special drink. Sip the beverage now; save the treat for later.
11:45 a.m. — A Spa-Worthy Shower Ritual
When you’re back, dim the lights and step into a long, steamy shower. Use an exfoliating scrub, then lather up with something that smells luxurious—bergamot, black rose, or amber. After, smooth on your favorite lotion. Add a hint of self-tan for a warm, sun-touched glow that carries you into the week. This is also your time to apply a hydrating face mask.
12:30 a.m. — Hearty Brunch, Minimal Effort
Prepare a comforting yet chic meal: sourdough toast layered with eggs, avocado, bacon, and greens. Enjoy it in a matching lounge set, with a 30-minute comfort sitcom playing in background (think Gilmore Girls, Sex and the City, Friends).
1:15 p.m. — Light Declutter, Clear Mind
Set a timer for 15 minutes and do a gentle reset around your home. Fold throws, tidy countertops, put away laundry. The goal: visual calm.
1:30 p.m. — Laundry, Luxe Edition
Switch your sheets to the dryer. When they’re done, spritz them with linen spray and inhale. Fully remake your bed.
2:30 p.m. — Quiet Afternoon, Glossy Inspiration
Pour a tall glass of lemon water and curl up with a beautifully designed magazine. Flip slowly through the pages—let your mind wander through travel spreads, interiors, and fashion editorials.
3:30 p.m. — Cozy Television Hour
Switch on The Great British Bake Off or something equally comforting (Lydia Millen YouTube vlogs are a great option, too). This is pure, permission-granted leisure. Nibble on the sweet treat you picked up earlier. Option to needlepoint, draw, or do something else with your hands while you watch (so long as it isn’t scrolling).
5:00 p.m. — Simple, Chic Supper
Dinner tonight is effortless yet indulgent. Try a baguette sandwich layered with prosciutto, arugula, and fig jam, or an elevated grilled cheese with caramelized onions. Pair it with a fizzy mocktail in a elevated glass. Put on slow, cozy tunes and turn off any overhead lights. Lamps only.
6:30 p.m. — Gentle Planning for the Week Ahead
Spend 30 minutes reviewing your calendar, jotting down a few priorities and small joys to look forward to. Visualize your gratitude, productivity, and rest for the upcoming week. Find an outfit on Pinterest you want to try to emmulate this week. Decide on a small surcee (think under $20) you’re going to treat yourself to on Friday.
7:00 p.m. — Evening Glow-Down
Another glass of water. It’s time to get in bed! Slip into fresh sheets. Let your skin drink in the last of your lotion, and let your body unwind. If it’s cold, plug in a heating pad or grab an extra blanket. Keep your muscles warm and relaxed. Respond to text messages and voicemails from friends and family. Give yourself 15-minutes (set a timer!) to scroll TikTok or Instagram and giggle.
8:00 p.m. — Herbal Tea and Quiet Calm
End the day as it began: soft, still, and intentional. Set your alarm for tomorrow morning, then put your phone away. Brew a mug of chamomile or lavender tea and crack open a good book—something buzzy with a beautiful cover. Sink right in to it. Let the words lull you as the steam rises from your cup. Unwrap a piece (or two) of dark chocolate. Exhale. You’ve spent your Sunday exactly as it should be spent—restoring from the inside out.
