Joy of Hygge: How to Bring Everyday Pleasure and Danish Coziness Into Your Life
Joy of Hygge: How to Bring Everyday Pleasure and Danish Coziness Into Your Life | Jonny Jackson, Elias Larson
17 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") is a Danish word that describes the feeling of being cozy, comfortable, and at peace with the world. It's almost impossible to translate to English, and it's probably the reason that Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world. According to the London Evening Standard, hygge takes us beyond mindful meditation and adult coloring books and introduces us to a comfortable, warm, relaxing lifestyle exemplified by those in Denmark. The Joy of Hygge is packed with recipes to warm you on a winter's evening, craft ideas for decorating your home, and inspirational suggestions for enjoying the magic of everyday pleasures. Learn how to make your life more hyggelig by: -Creating a snuggly pair of hand-knitted socks -Filling your house with more light and nature displays -Building a cozy campfire for friends and family -Taking advantage of picnics, bike rides, and woodland walks -Appreciating the natural wonders that surround us every day -And more! Remember--a little hygge brings a lot of happiness.

I did it! But I forgot to take a picture… so I‘m posting a pic of my sister‘s hyggeligt space & cat (you can‘t see it all clearly, but lots of pillows & blankets!) 😉. I participated in #hyggehour with y‘all last night, reading Inland.

I also finished my #SeasonalCozies pick for January yesterday (meh 2.5 ⭐️).

And in searching for hygge images, I discovered this candle I must have and this podcast I must check out!

Happy Monday all! 😅🩵

Avanders @julieclair yeah… it probably suffered a little from being #17 in the series (but 1 to me), but my biggest gripe was it wasn‘t a mystery that felt solvable by the reader… guessable, but not solvable until it was solved. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I always feel let down by those… 9mo
julieclair That makes sense, like you you were denied the satisfaction of solving it in advance. (edited) 9mo

We‘re being asked to stay inside more again in the UK, as Covid and the seasonal bugs are increasing, so this year I‘m making a determined effort to create/be hygge. I have blankets, a fire, Lo-Fi tunes, candles, dogs a glass of wine and of course a book. I will embrace the autumn, the cold, the rain and just enjoy my home and what I have.

A quick book. Doesn't explain in depth about hygge, but does provide the means to setting the ambiance.

Nothing to see here. It has things like vague instructions on making paper snowflakes and advice to take winter beach walks. In good conscience I cannot even count this toward my yearly reading. I‘m moving on to a book about death cleaning which I hope has some substance.

My bit of morning hygge: coffee, a sleepy Skippy on my lap, flannel shirt, apple candle burning, and ready to finish my Jim Jones book.

Yasss! It's here, Liz! It's here! The postman delivered it this evening. I'm sorry it causes you some anxiety but finally it's here. Slowly but surely must be their motto. 😏
I'll unwrap it later tonight.

Lizpixie Oh thank god! I hope everything is intact and that you like it all. I can't believe the drama in getting one package from Australia to Malaysia! It's not as if you're on the other side of the world for goodness sake! 7y
LeeRHarry @Lizpixie my hygge parcel has got lost between here and the US 😔what are Aus Post playing at?! 7y
Lizpixie @LeeRHarry I have no idea, I sent one to the US the same day as this one and that got there last week. I must admit though, this is only the 2nd time I've had a problem with Auspost but it sucks that Jessie had to wait an extra week for her presents☹️ 7y
Michelle_mck I have had a parcel sitting at a distribution centre in Perth waiting to leave the country for 3 weeks! @LeeRHarry @Lizpixie it‘s crazy! 7y

Jess7 Thank you @Captivatedbybooks have you opened yours yet? 😮 7y
Captivatedbybooks @Jess7 i did now after watching the news and the feeds from my family in Puerto Rico i needed a pick me up 7y
Jess7 I saw it @Captivatedbybooks - I've been sitting on the edge of my seat hoping you liked it. I absolutely LOVED The Passenger - in my opinion it's well written and very suspenseful. I also liked The Breakdown - also suspenseful (I think I finished it in one day bc it was due to the library that same day). 7y
S3V3N How do you become part of this swap? 7y
Jess7 @BeaG the very busy and an insanely involved Litten @Tiffy_Reads put this swap together about a month ago. Just look for posts about matching for various swaps that are organized throughout the year. Then shop for your match and a month later is the big reveal. Watch for posts by: @BookishMarginalia @Tiffy_Reads (she has a bookswap page too), @collegecatlady and @MaleficentBookDragon (contact her to see if there is still room for you) (edited) 7y

After a long week I am settling into the Canada Day long weekend with a book about hygge and this fluffy dog. Wishing you all a happy Canada Day and just a lovely, lovely weekend. May the writing be with you!

Another from this afternoon. Book 3 of the #pantlessreadathon. I liked this one. It's short, and covers some basics in craft, thought, coziness, recipes, etc. It's almost a So-so (it's light on info depth), but would make a great holiday gift along with some candles and the ingredients for a recipe or something.
