However, Hygge isn't only confined to the
bleak
winter months – it can also describe that warm,
fuzzy feeling
you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer's day or a family barbecue in the park.
The concept of 'hygge' is currently taking the world by storm with more and more people becoming obsessed with achieving a state of wellbeing. Articles, books and
stocking fillers,
full of tips on how to achieve hygge, are hitting the market. Although, some believe this has become a marketing and advertising ploy, the benefits of staying happy cannot be underestimated. So, as the winter nights
draw in
, instead of
hibernating
, get into your favourite
onesie
, bake some cookies and
curl up
by
a roaring fire
with a good book. And if you can do this with friends and family, even better - hygge is meant to be shared.
