SMART LUXURY
AT THE END OF THE DAY TREATING OURSELVES MAKES US FEEL GOOD
BREAK AWAY FROM THE STRESSES OF EVERYDAY LIFE
BUILD YOUR MOTIVATION WITH A LITTLE REWARD
WHEN WE FEEL GOOD OUR INTERACTION WITH OTHERS IMPROVES
SMART LUXURY ➽ PERSONAL BENEFITS
We all love to reward ourselves with luxurious indulgences from time to time, yet we feel the need to justify them. Some new research has shown that there are great psychological benefits from splurging on ourselves; it allows us to break away from our daily routines and boosts our confidence. Buying that great pair of shoes, new car, or diamond earrings can make us feel that we are working for good reason.
➽ LUXURY GOODS MAINTAIN THEIR VALUE
GO AHEAD, REWARD YOURSELF IT MAY SOUND INDULGENT, BUT SPOILING YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN CAN BOOST YOUR EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND FOSTER LONGEVITY. YOU SPEND YOUR TIME WORKING, TAKING CARE OF OTHERS, AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. WHAT IS ALL THAT WORK FOR? SO YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU NEED AND WANT? THE TRUTH IS, WHEN OUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL NEEDS ARE BEING MET, WE ARE BETTER AT EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE.

Most seekers of luxury goods focus on quality, craftsmanship, and goods that maintain their value. Luxury brands have reached over $200 billion in annual sales. Goods that are crafted with the best materials, to the highest standards of quality, and with timeless classical style are worthwhile investments because they stand the tests of time, diminishing the need to purchase replacements.
➽ BOOST YOUR IMAGE
Many people buy luxury goods to signal to others that they know about the best things in life and are worthy of owning them. The opulence, grandness, and lavishness associated with luxury brands can be societal calling cards for many consumers.
➽ INDULGE IN THE EXPERIENCE
Often, the experience of shopping for luxury goods is part of what consumers pay for; the boutiques often offer champagne or other beverages, the sales people are knowledgeable and enjoy talking with customers who are versed in the language of quality, construction, and material excellence. Walking out of a boutique with the most fabulous pair of shoes or diamond earrings or driving off the lot in your new luxury vehicle is empowering and uplifting.

Offering an eclectic selection of over 35 tapas and live entertainment makes for a great bachorelette party spot.
LUXURY DINING ➽ TRENDSETTING TAPAS mix with and industrial chic environ-
ment, great art, and live music to bring clients a total package of culinary, visual, and audial indulgence. Everywhere you look, top eateries are now presenting “small plates” in an effort to capture their share of the ‘less is more’ trend. In Savannah the trend setter was Jazz’d Tapas Bar. Jazz’d opened its doors in the fall of 2003 with a menu that most found unfamiliar; a tapas menu but not of the traditional Spanish-Mediterranean type, rather it was an Americanized eclectic version. Walking down the stairs, again visitors found a fresh, ‘industrial chic’ environment, new to Savannah. Dimly lit, with large brightly colored abstract paintings, a large serpentine bar, lots of metal and art deco lighting, it feels and looks more like something one might find in a big city. True luxury is having the total package, with live entertainment six nights a week, an award winning bar, and the most amazing tapas in town, Jazz’d is the total package.
