Hygge

It's raining Hygge here, (pronounced HUG-gah)  It's a Danish thing that is everywhere this year, it's probably been a Danish thing for hundred's of years but it only made it to the UK this year. 

It's all about a lifestyle and being cosy in the winter from what I can gather and I do feel slightly brainwashed by this Danish phenomenon; super soft 'loungewear', check, enough tea lights to melt an igloo, check and just this week, I've been eyeing up a fur throw to get me through the next six months... just in case.

I do feel like I'm on the brink of some reality TV, extreme cold weather challenge show, and I do have to keep reminding myself that I will indeed survive the next six months whether I take heed of something I can't pronounce and hibernate in fur lined rooms, or not.  It's true, there is probably minimal chance of a prolonged power outage, unexpected frostbite or sub-sub zero temperatures and I do not in fact have to go all Rocky Mountaineer to survive it.

That said, despite gaining an hour when the clocks went back, I'm feeling substantially jet lagged for some reason, and presently, I'm quite happy to 'hunker down'.  It would be a shame to return the super soft loungewear, (really is super soft,) and I do love candle light, but, I will continue to workout as per pre-Hygge, my legs and such will remain fuzz free for the duration of this Winter and my toenails will be some smoking hot colour, albeit that they may be hidden beneath my newly acquired thermal socks.

As much as I love being cosy, let's just get through Winter and look forward to Spring shall we? x
