6 Ways to Add a Little Hygge to Your Life

By now, you’ve probably seen the word “hygge” all over Pinterest and Instagram. But what’s it all about and how can you experience it?

The word is Danish but you don’t need to live in Denmark to embrace it. And while there is no direct translation into English, it roughly means “cozy”. Think scented candles, a warm cup, a good book and cuddling in a cozy knit. Hygge is the art of taking pleasure in small, soothing things, and creating a sanctuary in the midst of daily life. And we’re all about that on Hello Glow! Bring a little joy into your life with these hygge-inducing products:
