    Here is my latest blog post -- just some personal musings (and two links to further info) for anyone thinking about making improvements to one's own environs.

    I am familiar with the term minimalism, but "hygge"?

    hygge according to Google search:

    The content cannot be displayed because you do not have authorisation to view this content. hyg·ge

    /ˈh(y)o͞oɡə,ˈho͝oɡə/

    noun

    a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).

    "why not follow the Danish example and bring more hygge into your daily life?"

    Also, this book which I need to see if my library has it:

    The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living (The Happiness Institute Series)
    The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living (The Happiness Institute Series)
    www.amazon.com

    Hygge - Wikipedia

    And seems like since fall is here and winter coming soon, a good time for hygge :)
