Fun Fact
The word “fabulous” has its roots in Latin, where “fabula” meant “story” or “fable.” Over time, it evolved to convey something that’s extraordinary or legendary. “Infinifabulous” takes this concept and amplifies it to describe a level of style and charisma that seems never-ending.
(noun) A person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure and sensory enjoyment is the highest good and chief aim of life
A self-proclaimed hedonist, she planned her entire sabbatical around exceptional food, warm weather, and long afternoons with nothing to do.
Hedonist derives from the Greek hedone, meaning “pleasure” or “delight,” from hedys (“sweet”). The philosophical school of Hedonism was formally developed in ancient Greece — most notably by Epicurus, who argued that pleasure, properly understood, was the foundation of a good life. The word entered English in the 19th century as both a philosophical term and a descriptor for those who live purely for sensory gratification.
