A few years ago, I was in a bookstore, flipping through a stack of journals. I had recently lost my beloved mother and I was desperate for something—anything—that could help me feel more connected, more anchored, more myself again.
But nothing felt right.
Nothing was aesthetically beautiful (I do love pretty things, after all!).
Nothing had Jewish quotes or values that actually resonated with me — as a modern Jewish woman juggling grief, work, motherhood, oat lattes, WhatsApp chats (for the good and for the bad), and a very real desire for something deeper.
And nothing combined spirituality and style in a way that truly spoke to me — or felt meaningful and fresh.
I left without buying anything. But the idea stuck.
What if Jewish products could be soul-nourishing, uplifting, and beautifully designed?
What if we didn’t have to dim our Jewishness — or our personal style — to feel seen?
That longing became a mission. And that mission became Luxe Jewish Life™.
What makes Luxe Jewish Life different
Luxe Jewish Life™ is all about making Jewish life feel both meaningful and beautiful — where you’re proud of who you are, and you don’t have to choose between something deep and something stylish.
It’s for Jewish women who care about aesthetics AND authenticity. Who want to feel proud of who they are, how they live, and what they wear. Who light candles on Shabbat — even if they’re rushing through bedtime. Who are navigating big feelings, big dreams, and a deep connection to being Jewish, even when it feels complicated.
Everything we create — from our bestselling Jewish Joy Journal to affirmation cards, stickers, socks, and soul-powered jewelry — is designed to help you feel grounded, connected, and uplifted in your everyday life.
Why now?
Because since October 7, being Jewish has felt different. The world reminded us — in painful, undeniable ways — that our Jewish identity is not something to take for granted.
But we’re not shrinking. We’re shining. We’re reclaiming Jewish joy as resilience — and living it out loud.
Luxe Jewish Life is your invitation to live with intention, meaning, and Jewish pride — not in whispers, but in full color!
From not fitting in… to creating a whole movement
I’m Karen Cinnamon — and for most of my life, I never quite felt like I belonged. Not fully in Jewish spaces. Not fully outside them either. So I started building what I couldn’t find: spaces where Jewish women could show up as their full selves — proud, connected, empowered, stylish — without judgment or boxes to squeeze into.
That journey led me to create Smashing The Glass, the world’s biggest Jewish wedding platform.
Then came Brides Club, my private community for Jewish brides-to-be.
And then Smashing Life, the fastest-growing community for Jewish women who want more connection, meaning, and joy.
And now — Luxe Jewish Life™ — a deeply personal next step.
This is my love letter to Jewish women everywhere who want to live their Jewishness with confidence, pride, and a little chutzpah.
Luxe Jewish Life is here to help you:
✔ Feel more confident in your Jewish identity
✔ Infuse your life with beauty, purpose, and joy
✔ Celebrate your Jewishness on your own terms — and in serious style
Whether you’re here for the socks, the journal, or the soul-deep reminder that your Jewishness is something to celebrate every single day — I’m so glad you’re reading this!
This is your place. This is your power. This is Luxe Jewish Life.
