When we think of being lucky, we often picture four-leaf clovers, pots of gold, or stumbling upon something wonderful by chance. But what if luck isn’t just something that happens to us? What if it’s something we create every day, in the smallest, most beautiful ways?

At Matcha Nude, we believe luck isn’t about winning the lottery. It’s about the people who show up for you—the friends who become chosen family, the ones who cheer you on when life feels hard and celebrate with you when life feels sweet. It’s about finding gratitude in the seemingly ordinary moments that, when you really pause to notice, are extraordinary.

There’s luck in the way the sun sneaks through your window just right when you’re sipping your morning matcha. It’s in the rainbow that appears after a storm when you weren’t even looking for it. It’s in that tiny flower stubbornly blooming through a crack in the sidewalk, refusing to be ignored. Luck is all around us, waiting to be noticed.

But how do we train ourselves to see it? Here are some simple ways to start noticing—and cherishing—the luck already woven into your day:

Start your morning with intention:

Before you dive into your to-do list, take a moment to breathe. Like a really nice deep breath. Sip and savor while you set an intention for your day, even if it’s as simple as “I’ll find one small thing to be grateful for today.”

Pause for beauty breaks:

 Look up from your screen every so often. Notice the way the light hits your desk, the sound of laughter from the next room, the warmth of your favorite sweatshirt. These tiny moments are easy to miss, but they’re little pieces of luck we often overlook. When you notice them, take inventory of what happens in your body. Were your shoulders at your ears and now they are relaxing?

Celebrate small wins:

Did you finally clear out your inbox? Call a friend you’ve been missing? Make it through a tough workout? Give yourself credit! Luck isn’t always about big, life-changing events—it’s also in the small victories we achieve every day. Share the joy by texting someone in your life that will celebrate your win with you!

Share your gratitude:

Text a friend to say you’re thinking of them. Compliment a stranger. Leave a note of appreciation for someone you love. Putting kindness into the world not only lifts others up but helps you recognize the abundance in your own life.

End your day by reflecting on tiny joys:

Before bed, jot down three small things that made you smile. A perfectly frothy matcha latte. A song you had on repeat. A kind word from a coworker. It’s a simple practice, but one that can shift your perspective in a big way. This is great to write down or even speak out to your loved ones. See if they want to share any joys from their day too. Imagine how sweet your dreams will be when the last thing you think about before drifting off are the beautiful parts of your day. 

What Does It Really Mean to Be Lucky?

In a world that moves fast (like warp speed some days), it’s easy to miss these quiet moments of magic. But maybe real luck comes when we slow down. When we savor every sip, every laugh, every hug, every sunset. When we realize that being here—truly here—is a gift.

This St. Patrick’s Day, let’s celebrate a different kind of luck. The kind we build together through love, community, and presence. The kind that comes from supporting each other, from living intentionally, from choosing joy even when the world feels chaotic.

Our team is lucky to be part of a community that values sustainability, kindness, and connection. We’re grateful for every one of you who shows up, supports us, and shares your journey with us. Together, we thrive.

So here’s to noticing the beauty in the cracks, the magic in the mundane, and the luck in being present. After all, the luckiest moments are the ones we choose to see.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, from all of us at Matcha Nude.
