You must have heard about it or you have already adopted it, the hygge method, straight from Denmark, enters our daily lives when autumn sets in and the days get shorter...
But what is hygge?
Quite simply, hygge is the act of feel good by savoring the present moment thanks to the little everyday pleasures that make us happy. But, if we decide to go further in our vision of hygge, we can qualify it asart of living, of philosophy of life anddaily optimistic.
There is not just one way to adopt hygge because everyone does it in their own way, according to their daily desires and aspirations. For you, this will perhaps mean a desire to warm up your atmosphere with candles, while for others it will mean enjoying a good hot chocolate, a walk by the water or cooking delicious meals with the family.
Hygge is about ambiance and experience, rather than tangible things: it's about being with the people you love. The feeling of being in your place, like at home. The feeling of being safe, protected from the outside world, and finally being able to let your guard down.

What if we added a touch of hygge to our lives to bring happiness every day?
Make yourself comfortable, we reveal our best tips for adopting #hyggelife.
First of all, opt for a cozy atmosphere
Feeling good at home is essential in the hygge method. Far from the worries of everyday life, create a warm and soft cocoon using natural light, dimmed lights or by lighting candles. This comforting atmosphere will make you unwind and spend a pleasant evening alone, as a couple or with your whole family. Don't hesitate to slip under a blanket and enjoy a hot chocolate to make your evening even better...
It's time to put on some soft pajamas
The best time of the day? When you come home and can put on your favorite outfit! Soft pajamas for some or a big pair of socks for others. It is necessary that you feel comfortable to be perfectly well. For this, we recommend materials such as cotton, the silk or the linen.
Prepare yourself a good meal
Yes yes, hygge can also happen in the kitchen! Now is the time to treat yourself by cooking your favorite dish. Set a beautiful table and invite your loved ones to sit around this delicious meal. Don't hesitate to tell an anecdote or a memory about this dish so that everyone can immerse themselves in their fondest memories... Delicacies are very appreciated in the Scandinavian art of living, we advise you to focus everything on the dessert... Your guests will be won over!
Enjoy your free time
Take a break and breathe... Give yourself some alone time to read a book, take a nice hot bath or listen to a podcast with a cup of tea. If you prefer to spend time with others, invite your friends for a board game evening or to look back in your vacation photo albums.
And above all, live in the present moment
You will have understood, hygge cannot necessarily be explained but is experienced. It is experienced through small pleasures, shared moments and daily happiness. Leave your smartphone aside, take your time and share moments: you will then create your best memories...
