With a new year about to begin full of potential and possibilities, I wanted to take a moment before TSLL returns to its regular posting tomorrow (at the moment, I am nestled by the fireplace, sipping tea, and feel fortunate to have Nelle snuggled in next to me) to share with you all you can look forward to.

2026 is shaping up to be a special year here on TSLL. Full of new premieres and the publication of TSLL’s 4th book, along with all of the regular content you have come to look forward to enjoy, but there is so much content that sometimes it can be hard to remember what is posting when!

So! As a reference for all readers, long-time and those who have just found TSLL, I wanted to take a moment to share what you can look forward to enjoying on a regular weekly and monthly basis. In many ways, TSLL is that home base for living well, finding inspiration for cultivating your simply luxurious life. Since 2009, TSLL has been the online destination where you can depend on consistency: certain topics will be shared on a particular day of the week, so that you can visit on your schedule, all the while trusting that your favorite content will be available.

And this post is a psst, psst head’s-up: if you aren’t already a TOP Tier Member, there will be a special first-of-its-kind sale beginning tomorrow (January 1st) and lasting only three days. Get ready to join TSLL international community and save. The promo code will be sent to everyone who is subscribed to one of the following (free) newsletters: daily, weekly, monthly, and Style Inspiration. So long as you have subscribed to a newsletter before the end of 2025, you will receive the promo code in your inbox. Choose which newsletter you prefer here.
