Life is all about the little luxuries. Between your full-time job and your full-time side hustle, sometimes you just have to let yourself indulge a little bit. Whether it's getting a latte with two sugars instead of black coffee (a.k.a. hot bean water), or treating yourself to a bit of a fancier dinner (but trust us, nothing on this list will leave your wallet in starvation), it's okay to give into yourself sometimes.
The world is a loud and busy place, but Vancouver has got a few places that you can turn into a sanctuary for your indulgences. Here are 42 little luxuries to treat yourself to in the city.
