What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

Darling, I’d love to tell you it’s something dazzling and cinematic — sunrise yoga on a Parisian balcony, or dictating my memoirs while a string quartet plays softly in the background. But the truth is far simpler, and perhaps more powerful: it’s my morning ritual.

Every single day begins the same way — coffee, lipstick, and a notebook.

The coffee isn’t just caffeine, it’s ceremony. That first sip is the spark that tells me, “Today has begun, and you’re ready for it.” The warmth anchors me, like a steady drumbeat beneath the chaos of the world.

Then the lipstick. Always red, always deliberate. It’s not vanity, it’s a promise to myself: that no matter what the day throws at me, I’ve already chosen to show up bold. Lipstick is my little rebellion against invisibility, my daily reminder that presence is a choice.

And finally, the notebook. Even if I don’t write much — sometimes just a line or a word — it’s my way of listening inwards before the world gets too loud. Scribbles, half-thoughts, grocery lists that turn into story sparks… it doesn’t matter. What matters is the pause. The moment of checking in with myself before I check in with everyone else.

This tiny trifecta — coffee, lipstick, notebook — doesn’t take more than ten minutes. But it transforms the whole day. It’s not about glamour, though it feels glamorous; it’s about grounding.

And I think that’s the secret, darling. The habits that truly improve your life aren’t the loud ones. They’re the quiet rituals you repeat until they weave themselves into your bones — until missing them feels like forgetting to breathe.

So yes, that’s my daily anchor. What about you? What’s the habit that steadies you, polishes you, and whispers, “This is who you are, and this is how you show up”?

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
