What Does Luxury Living and the Soft Life Mean to You?


Luxury living transcends mere opulence; it's a deeply personal experience that intertwines comfort, well-being, and the pursuit of refined pleasures. In this blog post, we invite you to explore and define what luxury living means to you. Whether it's the serene simplicity of a well-curated space or the joy derived from life's finer details, your interpretation of luxury is unique and significant.

Defining Luxury
Luxury living goes beyond material possessions; it's a state of mind that encompasses comfort, time, and experiences. It could be the freedom to indulge in exquisite meals, the ability to travel to dream destinations, or the simple pleasure of a quiet evening surrounded by beauty. Take a moment to reflect on what elements elevate your life and make it feel extraordinary.

Comfort and Wellness
For some, luxury living revolves around creating spaces that cocoon them in comfort. Plush furnishings, soft textures, and soothing colors contribute to a sense of opulence within the home. Prioritizing wellness is also a hallmark of luxury living — whether through spa-like bathrooms, fitness routines, or mindfulness practices that nurture both the body and the soul.

Exquisite Experiences
Luxury is often synonymous with memorable experiences. It could be a weekend retreat to a serene destination, savoring a meticulously prepared meal, or attending exclusive events. Consider the experiences that bring you joy and a sense of fulfillment, and how incorporating them into your lifestyle contributes to the luxury you seek.

Quality Over Quantity
In the realm of luxury living, the emphasis is on quality over quantity. This principle extends to possessions, relationships, and experiences. Thoughtfully curated items, meaningful connections, and memorable moments take precedence, creating a life rich in substance and significance.

Personal Style and Expression
Luxury living is an extension of your personal style and taste. Whether it's through fashion choices, home decor, or the way you spend your leisure time, your individual expression adds a layer of authenticity to your luxurious lifestyle. Celebrate your uniqueness and let it shine through in every aspect of your life.

The Freedom of Choice
One of the luxuries that modern life affords is the freedom to choose. Whether it's choosing how you spend your time, who you surround yourself with, or the experiences you pursue, the ability to make choices aligned with your values contributes to a life of luxury and fulfillment.

As we delve into the intricacies of luxury living, it becomes apparent that it's a dynamic concept that evolves with our aspirations and personal growth. What does luxury living mean to you? Perhaps it's a harmonious blend of comfort, experiences, and personal expression that creates a life truly worth savoring. Take the time to explore and define your own version of luxury, and in doing so, elevate every moment to a state of opulence uniquely tailored to your desires.

A Humble Beginning

Strawbabies,

Everyone starts some where. The beginning may not be the perfect start or ideal timing but it is the Start. Last week I got an opportunity to go back to my hometown Fort Gaines, Georgia. It is 2 hours and 48 minutes from Atlanta. The Atlantans consider this as the other Georgia. But I consider this my Georgia.


LOCATION ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐





Nope, Im not from fancy pants NYC or LA. As a matter of fact I'm not from a city period. I am proud of my START. Its my start and I am so grateful and honored that it took place here. It is the most beautiful place in the world to me and yes I have been all over the world. When I left Fort Gaines I had big dreams and many opportunities ahead of me. Alone the way the journeys have not always been great or peaches and creme how the country folk say. But again this has been my journey.  I often get emotional when speaking of my town. My town is a family oriented place. everyone knows everyone and you would not just pop up here. Unless of course you knew someone who knew someone who bought you here. Get it.

Fort Gaines beauty can be defined in millions of ways. From the people with colorful characters. to the homecooked meals, to the lake, to the view of the millions of stars, to the fields upon fields, to the quietness of peace, to the no city skyline to the wilderness.




It is a place of gratification and solitude. I have traveled thousands of miles and days to feel this solitude. I have LAUGHED until I could not laugh anymore here and at the same spectrum I have CRIED until I could not cry anymore here.

It is a beautiful secret that I hold in my heart each day as a fight the hustle and bustle of city life. I often wisp myself back there with a phone call or two. I am constantly reminded how proud my Fort Gaines is of me and I am reassured what will happen will be. I often tell my new friends about Fort Gaines and I can tell from their facial expressions with their fancy degrees, million dollar homes that they are clueless about my journey here. I proudly boast my hometown name with crickets left in the room and the mapquest person who says o Albany Georgia. I know exactly where you are. When clearly you dont because you are almost 45 minutes off the mark. I just smile and say maybe one day you can come home with me.

THE LAKE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




My Strawbabies who are from Fort Gaines see this a hundreds times a day and are not excited about the Lake.


THE FIREWORKS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



 But I am here to tell you our town is a hidden Jewel tucked away in Georgia and to be from there is valuable in itself.

Eat Breakfast Boys

Strawbabies,
Let’s do brunch in CP. CP as in College Park, Georgia.
Place: Breakfast Boys
City: College Park, Georgia (Atlanta Metropolitan Area)
Purpose: BRUNCH
How many Stars?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️




Listen Strawbabies everything was everything. But the catch to enjoy the total experience and miss the total excitement of something sooo good is to go during the less popular Brunch days. The weekdays. The times posted on the website is 8am to 3 pm.





The menu is down below🠟 




The drinks were amazing as well. 




The parking can be challenging and please please don’t park at the next door Subway lets just say BOOT 👢 and not the kind you wear. The kind your car would. 
The wait times can be frantic as well on the days we previously talked about but after these little kinks.

 My experience was worth every one of them.




A smart move would also be to just make a reservation. 



The staff is amazing, the drinks are EPIC  I could do 2 or 3 or 4 maybe more.
 I think this is a 10 of 10 I definitely RECOMMEND. 



You will not be disappointed and let’s just say we can absolutely, definitely do Brunch at Breakfast Boys. We are definitely brunching in 4th quarter 2022 and 2023.
