How can I be "hyggeligt" (Hygge-like)?
You don't need to follow guidelines or tick a checklist to feel Hygge. It only requires you to feel a conscious appreciation of the present time.
There is no “how to” Hygge guide. Hygge is very personal and adopting it as a lifestyle means knowing yourself well.
You can’t buy a "Hygge living-room" or specific "Hygge foods", even though you can find Scandinavian-style items and food like candles. Creating a Hygeg atmosphere means creating an environment in which you feel comfortable and good.
Hi, I was just wondering, how are the candle’s being made? Is this a proces with nature’s best intrest at heart? So basicly are the candle’s eco friendly?
