5 Ways to Hygge Summer

"Summer hygge means enjoying the great outdoors. Whether it’s a paddle in the sea, a laid-back picnic with friends or toasting marshmallows on a campfire, this is the time for making memories and enjoying the warmth. The beauty of summer hygge is that all the best activities can be enjoyed for free – a fun day at the seaside; reading a book in the sunshine."  ~ Kayleigh Tanner, owner of HelloHygge.com

Summer Hygge

I'm back. Homeschooling's all done! And just in time to talk hygge in the summer.

How are you? Are you loving summer yet? I will probably post only once a week this month - my birthday is this month and I try to find ways to celebrate all month long. :)

Hope you are diving into summer, too. Here are 5 ways to make summer more hygge...

(1) Light candles that smell like the summer outdoors. So it's a way of bringing nature in, which is always hygge. You also can actually bring in the flowers themselves, and use them to beautify & scent several rooms in the house.

(2) Use soft or textured fabrics that are thinner. but might still be useful if the AC makes you cold.

(3) Head outdoors onto the balcony or patio with a tall class of sweet tea. Maybe that is summer hygge in the south, and you might prefer lemonade, instead.

(4) As Kayleigh suggested in the quote above, while you're out there, read and soak up the sunshine. Take life outside, where it's warm.

(5) Lighten your home's decor & decorate with neutral colors.

Below is a book that can help you do just that & if you click on the links (which are my affiliate links using Amazon), you can own it, too. I love her writing and am likely to own the entire series before too long!

She says, "hygge is always inside you." And I believe her!

 "Hygge isn't a seasonal thing, it's an all-year thing because it's not the cold nights in or slurps of hot drinks that are hygge. The nebulous feelings of warmth, safety, welcome, togetherness and belonging that are there in the wintertime, yes, but equally as valid in the depths of summer, when time stands still and lasts much longer."  ~ Jo Kneale, How to Hygge Your Summer
