When I first learned about the Danish concept hygge I was ecstatic to know there is not only a word but also a whole culture around something I already love to do. Hygge ("hue-guh ") is essentially the feeling or a moment of cozy, calm contentment. 

These are some of the little details to create moments of hygge:

• Light a candle. This is the easiest way to create ambiance and if it's a scent you love double win.

• Dim the lights and stick with lamps, not overhead lighting. The right lighting can completely transform a spaces' atmosphere.

• Pour a hot drink. A tea, coffee, hot cocoa, no matter what you choose it will give you an instant cozy feeling.

• Bake something tasty. Not only can the act of baking be a calming experience, but the smell of baked goods wafting and then sharing your treats with loved ones is a majorly hygge.

• Put on some instrumental music in the background. I am currently obsessed with the Lush Lofi playlist on Spotify.

• Soft furnishings everywhere. A throw here, a few cushions there. Just enough so you can cuddle up comfortably.

• Fewer devices. Instead of scrolling on your phone try picking up a book or writing instead. It immediately slows you down and creates a more hygge experience.

• Wear cute and cozy socks. Just the act of seeing them on your feet will make you feel content.
