Y’know those photos of mitten-clutched hot cocoas amongst fuzzy blankets and string lights? There’s a word for that level of coziness and a way to eat it, too! Here’s how to hygge! Hygge (pronounced “hoo-geh”) is a noun, adjective, verb, or compound noun. It’s the Danish term referring to a national Danish quality with no direct translation in English. It’s a cozy atmosphere which nurtures individual feelings of contentment, safety and relaxation. Hygge has qualities of humility, patience mindfulness and gratefulness.
