HYGGE – A SENSE OF COMFORT, COZINESS AND PEACE

Would You like to sit with a warm cup of tea and cake, huddled up in a cozy blanket and feel the feelings?

Then TIS the Perfect season to write about HYGGE ( pronounced hue-guh)

This Danish concept cannot be translated into one single word.

Hygge is a concept originated in Danish culture that focuses on living with a sense of comfort, coziness, and peace. It has been described as, “creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people.” It’s a feeling of cosiness and well-being.

It has also been called “the art of creating intimacy,” to “coziness of the soul,” and even, “cocoa by candlelight.” It’s about that feeling or this moment.

What I absolutely love about Hygge is that one can apply it in our lives anywhere and everywhere. It’s just a way of being. When we are out with friends or alone at home – it’s just always being and feeling Hygge.

Let me share a few simple, easy and wonderful ways we can live a Hygge lifestyle.

The biggest thing the Danish people talk about when discussing a Hygge lifestyle is CANDLES.

Light some candles in your home to give yourself that warm feeling… do dim the lights please
