Decor Inspirations: Scandi

For this week of Living Hygge, I'm going to focus on food. In my book about Hygge, they gave a few different recipes on comfort food, but as a celiac, I had to go digging for my own Hygge recipes.

Introduction to Hygge
I picked up this delightful book the other day on living the Hygge lifestyle. It interested me because I am all about the cozy lifestyle. I used to enjoy picking up a good book, cozying up with a blanket nest and a huge cup of tea and just reading for awhile. I wanted to get back into the cozy lifestyle, especially with the winter coming in full force.
When people ask me the best time to visit Thailand, I always say: December to January, especially if you want a little bit of everything: crisp mornings in the north, sun-kissed beaches, and none of the worst of the monsoon. Over my four trips, I’ve come to see December and January as the sweet spot. In the north, it’s dry, cool (for Thai standards), and misty in places; on the islands, the seas are calm and visibility is excellent.
