Sometimes, the secret to a better lifestyle isn’t in the latest app or trend — it’s hidden in habits from the past. There’s a certain magic in doing things the slow, old-fashioned way. These rich girl rituals bring a sense of charm, intention and mindfulness into your everyday routine.
4 Old School Habits That Can Elevate Your Daily Lifestyle
So if you're looking to elevate your lifestyle with a touch of nostalgia, here are four old-school habits worth bringing back.
Writing With A Fountain Pen
Yes, it’s time to ditch the gel pens and embrace the elegance of a fountain pen. There’s something deeply grounding about writing slowly and deliberately with ink that flows as freely as your thoughts. Journaling, jotting down ideas, or simply creating a to-do list — using a fountain pen adds intention to even the most mundane task. Plus, it makes your handwriting look effortlessly chic. Stationery snobs will agree: this one’s a lifestyle flex.
Listening To Music From A Gramophone
Swap your Bluetooth speaker for a gramophone — and no, it’s not just for the ‘aesthetic’. The warm, rich sound of vinyl records played through a gramophone is pure auditory bliss. It forces you to slow down, savour every note, and really listen. Adding this habit to your Sunday unwind or evening ritual is like pressing play on pure vintage therapy.
Using Vintage Puff Perfumes
There’s something incredibly regal about spritzing perfume from a vintage-style puff bottle. Unlike today’s spritz-and-go sprays, these bottles make applying fragrance feel like a ritual. The glass, the atomiser bulb, the soft mist — it all adds a layer of luxury and femininity to your vanity.

Aromatherapy
While not exclusive to the past, aromatherapy in its oldest form like essential oil diffusers, incense sticks, and oil burners, brings back that spa-like calm without needing to leave your home. Lighting a candle or putting a few drops of essential oil into a diffuser can completely shift the vibe of your room and mind. Add this to your wind-down routine or morning stretch and thank us later.
