Hygge - What is it and Why Should We All Be Using It

I've recently been trying to add a lot more hygge to my life. Pronounced hue'gah, the Oxford dictionary defines it as A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).




To put it simply, its the little moments. Its a hot cup of tea by the fire, its a picnic in the woods, its enjoying the sounds of the evening. Its putting the phone down! (After you read this, of course). When you take the time to truly experience and observe your atmosphere, you create a calming and fulfilling effect that benefits you mentally and physically.

Our lifestyles can be very demanding and cause us to have to rush around, rarely enjoying life's little pleasures. It is crucial that we take the time to savor those little moments throughout the day.



When you incorporate hygge into your life, your mind will start to be able to focus and concentrate in a more productive way, your body will be able to relax easier and will be less stressed, and your quality of life will drastically improve! I love incorporating essential oils into,my hygge routines to fully immerse myself in the moment!



I can't wait to hear about how you incorporate hygge into your lives and if you don't already, what's the first thing you plan to do? Feel free to add pics on social media using #rainesrealmhygge
