Does anyone know a synonym for the phrase "living life to its fullest" or something that conveys the idea of evaluating every minute by living it?

if you know of any good web-sites helping in understanding or finding idioms, metaphors or other phrases, I'd appreciate if you told me.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'd say "carpe diem," but that's not English, I'm afraid!

Here are some websites I find useful for idioms:
Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms
The Phrase Finder
The Free Dictionary
The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms

Hope you'll like them. Smile

I would still vote for "carpe diem"!

Make the best of what's given you.

Make everyday count.

But they're not idioms.

To utilize those websites, I think you should know at least one core word of the phrases or idioms, which can be a problem, sometimes.
