The Story Behind Hunting Hygge
Hey there, and welcome to Hunting Hygge! I’m so glad you’re here. Before we dive into all the cozy stuff—candles, comfy décor, cozy outfits, and those simple moments that make life sweeter—I wanted to share a little bit about why I started this blog in the first place.
The Search for Peace
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been searching for something—not the typical “dream job” or “perfect life,” but something way more important: peace. I’ve always wanted that feeling of calm where everything just clicks—you know, when life feels less chaotic and more in tune with what really matters. I’ve tried a lot of things over the years—journaling, mindfulness, trying to find that balance between work, family, and personal time—but I still felt like something was missing.
I needed a way to create real peace, not just in my mind, but in my surroundings and daily life.
Finding Hygge
Then one night, I stumbled upon this beautiful word: hygge (pronounced hoo-gah). It’s a Danish concept, and at first, I was like, “What is this?” But the more I read about it, the more I realized it was exactly what I’d been looking for. Hygge is all about creating comfort, warmth, and contentment in the little things—a cozy blanket, a cup of tea, the sound of rain, a good book, and spending time with loved ones.
It wasn’t just about candles and soft blankets (although, let’s be real, those things are amazing). It was about a mindset—a way of slowing down, savoring the moment, and finding peace in life’s simplest pleasures.
Hunting Hygge Is Born
And that’s how Hunting Hygge came to life. It’s my personal journey of embracing hygge and building a life that’s centered around peace and comfort. It’s all about creating a cozy space in your home, cultivating a peaceful mindset, and just enjoying the small joys that make life feel good.
But here’s the thing—I don’t think hygge is something you “find” once and then it’s done. It’s a hunt. A journey. There’s always more to discover, and that’s what makes it so fun. Whether it’s a new self-care ritual, a cozy décor idea, or just a way to slow down and appreciate life, Hunting Hygge is about finding peace and comfort in every day.
Why “Hunting”?
I use the word “hunting” because, to me, hygge isn’t about a destination—it’s a process. It’s about actively looking for the little things that make life better and feeling grateful for them. It’s about finding those pockets of peace, whether it’s in your home, your favorite sweater, or in a quiet moment with your family.
So, this blog is all about sharing that journey with you. I want to inspire you to bring more hygge into your life—whether that means decorating your space, getting cozy in your favorite outfit, or just enjoying a cup of tea and taking a deep breath.
I’m so excited to have you along for the ride. Grab a blanket, get comfy, and let’s start hunting for hygge together!
Warmly,
Kaitlyn
