What’s Hygge?
The Danish word Hygge (hugh-gah) is a feeling or mood that comes from taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary everyday things simply extraordinary.
It’s about being conscious and authentic from home to work to friends to celebrations to the every day tasks. Hygge can be used to describe a lot of things in a lot of ways.
My favourite? Simple, cosy, charming. That's what I hope to share here.
