Healing with Hygge

I finally found the courage to begin this blog again and I'm very thankful you're here. These past four months were crazy hectic, but I felt that rather than document all of it online, I really wanted to explore the discomfort and move through it. From the last blog post, I finished the hardest program …

Springtime… for Hygge!

Welcome to Spring, everyone! Can't you feel it in your bones? As the snow melts and the calendar changes to April, there is a sense of optimism that often isn't explored since Fall. You don't have to leave your house with your heavy winter coat every day, and you can just enjoy being outside for …

Organizing Your Hygge With Bullet Journaling

Where are my bullet journal peeps at?! Hey ooohhh! Bullet journaling is so much fun! I admit I don't have a future log and whatnot, but I do have the index and space to design and write everything down in it. Mine looks more like a detailed planner but I really appreciate how it's 100% …

Tea Time, Anyone?

Finding Hygge in the Weirdest Places

I want to be 98% honest with you all - right here, right now. I haven't been practicing hygge as much as I've liked to lately. We're all human, I get it. Sometimes, it's genuinely easier to see pins of hyggelig activity than doing it ourselves. As much as I'd love to live in my …

Don’t Wait Until You Get Sick

Stage left - me. *coughs* Dani is quiet. Then, she hears her throbbing head from the consistent headaches. After that, the sniffles. Then, feels woozy and has to sit down. Yep, the illness that everyone else had finally caught up with me. When you get a cold, people often tell you to drink lots of …

Hygge and Technology: A Counter-Point

One of the parts of hygge that I'd like to address today is about its relationship with technology. Since hygge is all about the disconnecting world, I want to challenge that thought with a counterpoint. How many of you have that one TV show that you watch when you feel like crap and helps you feel …

Keeping It Hygge With The Family

It takes a village to raise a family, right? Well, what about a home with two social workers and an older sister and her boyfriend? I found myself stuck in a family situation a couple of days ago with tensions raised and cheeks flustered. However, there was one thing on my mind: I needed to …

Books and Hygge Are Bert and Ernie

You really can't have one without the other, right? Reading is one of the best ways to get your hygge on because it marries all three of the core values of comfort, community, and contentment. Thinking back, I'm surprised I haven't already talked about the importance of reading! A value of reading is that it helps …
