Would it be a fine dining experience in a world-class restaurant? Perhaps you’d prefer to extend your moment and take a cruise around the Caribbean Islands or a trip through the wine country of France. Maybe you’d go for a luxurious day at a spa complete with a body scrub, facial, and massage. Or, maybe, you’d love to walk through an English garden when the roses are in bloom.

There is a fascinating series on PBS that explores just such luxuries and it’s a true feast for the senses. Bill Stubbs, host of Moment of Luxury, takes you around the world as he explores castles and gardens, mansions and vacation retreats, the finest wines and the most delectable chocolates, and much, much more. Best of all, you get to experience all the lavish outings and sumptuous delicacies from the comfort of your couch. What could be more luxurious than that?

Bill is a great choice for host—not only is he warm and engaging, he makes luxury accessible and fun. Bill also knows all about it: he’s is an award-winning designer with his own interior design firm, William W. Stubbs and Associates. In fact, Architectural Digest recognized him as one of the world’s top 100 designers.

According to Bill, experiencing luxury doesn’t need to be expensive. I interviewed him on Feisty Side of Fifty Radio and he shared his thoughts on simple ways we can add moments of luxury to our lives every single day. Take a listen to our interview and learn about his favorite Christmas tree. Hold on to your hat—this one cost him a whopping $2.50! And he’s got lots more tips on giving our homes that added flair and style without breaking the bank.

Be sure and check your local PBS listings for Moment of Luxury and don’t forget their website. There you can find and watch episodes of the show. Also, you won’t want to miss Bill’s great ideas for creating special moments of luxury in your own life. (He’s loaded with ‘em!)

After all, there’s no doubt about it, as women over fifty we’ve earned each and every moment of luxury we can get. So relax and enjoy—you deserve it!
