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.
