Let’s talk about HYGGE, pronounced not at all the way it looks…it’s Hoo-Gah. Think about the word HUG add an OO and a UH. This is a Danish phenomena and the secret to the folks in Denmark being known as the happiest people in the world (no, it’s not Disneyland.) Hygge has been a hot topic on the web for the past few years.
Basically it means “a cozy lifestyle.” It’s that feeling you get in a safe, comfortable nook. This cozy way of being has been brought around the world back to us in the USA. The cold, dark days of winter are a special time to practice everything Hygge. Looking for the best life has to offer? Then you might have might have just found it today, right here.

Hygge offers us a way to live, dress, eat and get together. It’s a mood. To feel sooooo comfortable in everything you do. It’s that magical feeling of cuddling on a comfy sofa, hugging your pet, sipping on hot cocoa, eating comfort food. It’s that feeling of overall, internal and external bliss. After exploring all this hype it’s time for me to book a trip to Denmark! Hygee is not only for coziness indoors, it’s also for the outdoors. Check out these two posts for more comfy inspo:
