'Hygge' (pronounced hoo-ga), the philosophy of happiness, and a way of living by the Danish, it simply refers to the appreciation of cosiness and the tiny little nice things in life.
In The Little Book of Hygge the concept is broken down into a manifesto including:
♥ Atmosphere – especially having the correct kind of lighting
♥ Presence or mindfulness (think switching off your phone!)
♥ Pleasure – treat smart food!
♥ Equality – we over me
♥ Gratitude – being thankful for what you have now
♥ Harmony – no place for competition or bragging
♥ Comfort – your surroundings
♥ Truce – no conflicts
♥ Togetherness
♥ Shelter – a feeling of safety
Let's embrace those pure joy and happiness cosy moments, here's how:
- Candles
Who doesn't like candles? You can light them year-round. Whether scented or unscented, candlelight gives a clean, fresh style of classic Scandinavian interiors into your house. The flickering flames create a brooding sense of atmosphere. - Make some comfort food
- Cuddle up with a giant bowl of pasta and cheese, Popcorn, or a cup of cocoa. Enjoy the happy vibes that Food brings. It’s called comfort food for a reason.
