What is Hygge, Anyway?

December 29, 2016 Julien Garman

You know that moment you discover something new and you’re three hours down the rabbit hole on a Saturday night googling literally everything about it? Friends, meet my latest obsession - HYGGE.

Hygge (pronounced HOO-GAH) is the danish word for COZY, but it goes much deeper than that. It’s all the little things that make up what we envision as cozy - heavy knit blankets, dining by candlelight on all your favorite comfort foods, friends eating a homemade meal around a table, listening to a record player, sitting around by the fire, drinking something warm from a pour-over…less technology, more togetherness.

Shop the record player, sweater, blanket and book from Urban Outfitters

The perfect example of this is my friend Rebecca, founder of A Daily Something. Literally everything she does and shares and LIVES is hygge. From moody lighting to the tastiest, most thoughtful dishes, I aspire to be half as cool one day.

Shop the pour-over kettle and Chemex coffeemaker

But until then - I wanted to share my own little hygge story about how I enjoy spending cozy mornings with the fam (aka my husband and dog - and when I’m lucky enough - ERIN TOO!)

How do you hygge? Learn more about the phenomenon here, here and here.
