Brits say these are the top 30 little luxuries in life - how many do you have?
A poll of 2,000 adults has revealed the everyday items and experiences people consider to be the ultimate modern-day luxuries Modern life's little luxuries include noise cancelling headphones, quilted loo roll, and pre-chopped vegetables. Others include high-end scented candles, a mid-week glass of wine, and boiling water taps. Robot vacuum cleaners, smart thermostats, and having an after dinner treat also considered to be indulgences. The survey, which was carried out by Müller Bliss, has shown that nearly half the adults feel their busy lives leave little room to to add luxury to their daily life, with the average adult enjoying a touch of luxury around five times a month. But for 38%, getting the chance to enjoy 'little luxuries' has become more important than it used to be. Great British Menu champion Kate Austen, who has collaborated with the yoghurt brand, shared her take: "For me, little luxuries are basically edible happiness, from a comfort dish to a sneaky ready-made dessert, it's my instant mood elevator." Kate has created "Bliss Bites" inspired by two new flavours: Whipped Greek Style Strawberries & Cream with miniature biscuits, and Whipped Greek Style Yogurt Lemon Meringue Pie. The poll also uncovered what once was deemed luxury but is now taken for granted, such as overseas holidays, flying, and having your own computer, along with subscription TV services, clothes shopping, and fast food treats. A whopping 82% believe small luxuries have a positive impact on their mood, suggesting making a concerted effort to enjoy them is worthwhile. However, it can be very much a private pleasure - as 70% have secretly enjoyed their luxuries alone. Some 35% have even resorted to 'extreme' lengths to do just this – including hiding away in the bathroom (43%) and repackaging it up in disguise (32%). The research, carried out through identified food as the most common type of indulgence (39%), with dessert being seen as the most luxurious meal (58%). A 'decadent taste' is the number one reason for food feeling more luxurious, followed by the sensation they get when eat and how it enlivens more than one sense. Marina Lazu, Müller Bliss brand manager, said: "Luxury is enhanced convenience, it is important we indulge in luxuries to give us those dopamine hits. "We believe luxury isn't about extravagance, it's about those small moments that bring joy. Our new Whipped Greek Style flavours offer a way to elevate the everyday with a little bit of luxury in every spoonful."

Millie Mackintosh's £60 Chelsea Flower Show dress is perfect for summer events
Millie Mackintosh wore a floral maxi dress from her Friends Like These collection with Next, and it's the perfect occasionwear dress that'll see you through all your summer events When she attended last week's Chelsea Flower Show, Millie Mackintosh not only nailed the floral theme in her maxi dress, but she also gave us some instant inspo on how to dress for summer occasions, too. The former Made in Chelsea star wore the Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress from her Friends Like These collection, and it was everything we were looking for when it came to even dressing. The dress is available at Next for £59 and is part of Millie's latest spring/summer collection with the brand, and was designed to be the perfect elevated evening or occasion look. It's currently available in all sizes from 8 to 22, although the 8 is currently sold out. The maxi dress features a flattering V-neckline and has frill detailing along the neckline as well as along the underbust seam. This combined with the tie bow in the centre and fluttering short sleeves also give it a breezy, romantic feel. It's made from lightweight chiffon which makes it comfortable to wear and perfect for warmer weather, and gives it a floaty look that nails this season's boho trend. The two-tiered hemline also adds a little volume and drama that makes it more evening appropriate. Although the colourful floral print makes it perfect for the summer, if you've got a wedding coming up and think it might be too predominantly white to wear, we've found some other great high street options to shop, too. This ASOS DESIGN Petite Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress With Ruffle Godets in Pink Floral Print is £70 and has a similar silhouette to Milly's gorgeous dress. It has short flutter sleeves that help cover your upper arms and a sweetheart neckline, and is more fitted in the bodice than Milly's flowing maxi dress. However the skirt features vertical ruffle details that give it plenty of movement and flow, whilst the pink floral print makes sure you don't end up wearing too much white to a wedding. Meanwhile River Island's limited edition Blue Floral Ruffle Slip Maxi Dress is £85 and features a bold blue background with an oversized white floral print that's perfect for making an impact. It has asymmetrical straps and a simple ruffle detail on the shoulder, whilst the dress itself has a classic bias cut slip style that's flattering and chic. However if you want to copy Millie's style, you can snap up her Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress in sizes 10 to 22 for £59 at Next now.
