0:00.0	Who doesn't love the good things in life? Even though a lot of us, including myself, enjoy a little luxury.
0:05.4	I don't want to spend money for luxury prices. That's why I'm so glad that I discovered Quince.
0:11.0	Quince is my go-to for luxury essentials at affordable prices. Quince offers a range of high-quality
0:17.4	items at prices within reach, like 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters from $50,
0:24.2	washable silk tops in dresses, organic cotton sweaters, and 14-carat gold jewelry. The best part,
0:30.6	all quince items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. By partnering directly with
0:36.3	top factories, quince cuts out the cost of
0:39.1	the middleman and passes the savings to us. And Quince only works with factories that use safe,

1:30.8	slash farmhouse. Having, like you said, like a handful of meals that you can pull out on any of those
1:36.8	certain occasions, it is from scratch, but it's not going to impress anyone. I think people take
1:42.3	from scratch and they take it to mean it has to be
1:45.4	way more than it even is. And then also there's definitely something to be said for getting good
1:49.4	at something. If you make bread, you've made it hundreds of times. It's not even hard. It's not
1:53.7	something you have to think about. That's a really good advice. It's just finding a couple
1:57.5	things that you can really focus on and become really good at. So when it comes to the point where you're just tired or whatever, you can just throw it together.
