How To Be A Cozy Mermaid The Danish Way

Did you know that Hans Christian Anderson, the original writer of the timeless classic The Little Mermaid, lived in Denmark? But the Little Mermaid isn't the only good thing to come from Denmark.

Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish concept that refers to a feeling of coziness, comfort, and contentment. It’s about creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, often with good people, good food, and a sense of well being.

The Danes embrace the concept of hygge by doing their best to live comfortably and peacefully. It's not hard to do in a country that is one of the happiest in the world. They foster a culture of community, peace, and work-like balance, while enjoying good food, bikeable cities, sustainability, safety, and free healthcare.

Both "hygge" and "hug" are believed to have originated from the Norwegian word "hugga" which means "to comfort/to hug."

So, how can we all embrace this kind of lifestyle? You could always take a trip to Denmark to see the beautiful coastlines, Viking history, castles, and the iconic Little Mermaid statue created, by Edvard Eriksen.

You can also bring hygge to your own home with cozy blankets, comfortable clothes, nicely scented candles, calming music, soft slippers, and some hot chocolate or your favorite tea.

Here are some products to help you achieve hygge, the mermaid way:

Mermaid book

The best way to achieve hygge is to sit down in a comfortable spot with your favorite book. The Mermaid by Christina Henry is one of the best mermaids books there is, in my opinion. I've read it twice, and will probably read it again at some point!
