Afternoon Hygge

Hygge can be done anytime of day no matter the weather. Since right now it is summertime it is the perfect opportunity to sit outside in the afternoon with a cocktail and some great friends.

It is the August long weekend here in Canada and we have had the most gorgeous weather this weekend with it being warm but not hot and almost no humidity. Yesterday afternoon we got some beautiful champagne and sat in the backyard just chatting and having a lovely time. It is so easy to get together with some old friends and some new friends. The most Hygge part of yesterday was sitting with friends overlooking the lake, there is something so calming and peaceful about being near the water.

Another fantastic thing to do in the afternoon is grab a cup of tea or coffee, grab a great book and sit to read and having a relaxing afternoon. To be quiet and and just enjoying a good book is a way to reset and enjoy the afternoon without having to do much or have much prep work going into it. I make sure to grab a great book and a cuppa when there is a storm outside and there is not much to do. It always puts me in another place and I can enjoy the afternoon without much effort.

In the summer I like to enjoy all the time I can outside whether it be sitting on the patio, going to a drink or going for a hike. In the afternoon in the winter I like to put on my cozy cabin socks, turn on the fireplace, light some candles and watch a feel good movie or read my book. There is nothing I like more than to have no plans, no one coming over and I can sit and enjoy the moment in the quiet.

Hygge is an activity anyone can do by themselves or with people they care about. There are many things to do any time of year or any time of day. Grab your coffee or a glass of champagne and enjoy the afternoon as you see fit.

Happy Hygge!
