What is Hygge?
(pronounced hoo-gah)
My favorite season is here! November and December, the holiday months filled to the brim with hygge and cozy living. So, what is hygge? Hygge (hoo-gah) is a Danish word for the concept of coziness and contentment, especially during the busier times of life. Hygge = Cozy. It’s enjoying the little things that make up a day; the joy of everyday living.
Simplicity…
A hygge lifestyle is one of simplicity, focusing on the good things in life, like a homemade baked good and a cup of coffee, warm candlelight, delicious drinks, warm sweaters and socks, a tromp in the woods and then a hot dinner at home. It is focusing on all the warm moments that make up a day.
First Look…
