Have you ever heard of the term hygge? It’s a Danish phrase that expresses ‘a quality of coziness that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.’ Basically, it's when you're cozy and you feel good about it.
With winter weather settling in, here are a few ideas to find your ‘hygge’ this winter!
1. Make a hearty and comforting vegetable soup
Use quality seasonal vegetables to make a nutritious soup that not only nurtures your body but also your soul. Invite family and friends to share in the fun.

2. Create a relaxing ‘spa-like’ experience at home
Run a warm bath and enjoy quality time in the self-care department with hydrating face masks and extra TLC for the hands. Don’t forget to add in scented candles for extra relaxation and ambience.

6. Embrace calm and be mindful
We are living in a time when being busy is a badge of honour. Take time this winter to slow down, live in the moment and embrace the day at a slower pace.
