How to Hygge
Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish concept designed to help the Danes survive their long and dark winter months.
It's about creating feelings of tranquility, comfort and well-being and feeling snug in your indoor space.
This means putting on comfy clothes, ugg boots and curling up under a throw on the sofa with a good book, a candle flickering nearby and a new plant or some greenery to connect you with the outdoors.
