A Very Hygge Weekly Love List

 A window seat with comfy blankets, a mug and a candle

こんにちは! Oi! Hello! I love and live a hygge lifestyle all year long, but it's even better during this time of year. Lighting up a candle or delicious smelling wax melt while a chilly breeze causes the Autumn leaves to skitter across the ground... Making a cup of coffee or tea to enjoy while cozying up under a bunch of soft blankets and reading a good book... All well surrounded by those I love. It's perfect! Do you know what hygge is? If not, let me tell you!

Hygge, pronounced "hue-guh", is a Danish word that is used to describe a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. It's used when you're comfortable, relaxed and enjoying life whether alone or with those you love. I came across hygge years ago, but was worried I needed something special to start... But you don't! Even though I'm creating this Weekly Love List full of products that give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, even going outside for a walk and appreciating nature while wearing a big comfy sweater can be hygge. 

I hope you take a moment to slow down, get comfy and enjoy this Weekly Love List! 

1. This beautiful Cauldron Mug from Mesiree Ceramics Studio! I loooove cauldrons so much and I find this mug so charming. I love the little cauldron feet! Mesiree Ceramics Studio is one of my favorite Etsy stores, so please check them out!

2. This magickal Black Base Colorful Mugs from Legacy Pottery Works! I love the blue and red especially, as they're my favorite colors. There's something so magickal about the mix of black and soft colors like this.

Mugs with a black base and rims with soft colors of all hues

3. This Sanrio Hello Kitty Ceramic Yunomi Tea Cup - Mount Fuji Design from Japan Centre! This is one of the most beautiful tea cups I've ever seen! I love Hello Kitty so much. I reallyyyy need this and it's going to be my Yule gift to myself!

4. This yummy Tea from Around the World Set from Uncommon Goods! I love Uncommon Goods, they have such unique products and I think trying teas from around the World sounds so delightful.

5. This 24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Uncommon Goods as well! I love nice little surprises and this just sounds so nice to open up a little door and get a new flavor of tea every day.

6. This Butter Roasted Vietnamese Coffee from Vietstalgia! Mmmm, Vietnamese coffee is so good and you know I couldn't forget my fellow coffee lovers, so here's something yummy to try!

7. This Traditional Holiday Ground Coffee from Barnies Coffee & Tea Co! Cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors and I've loved cinnamon in coffee ever since Koji told me I could use that to replace creamer if I want a spicy sweet treat or I'll put cinnamon WITH my creamer and mmmm, it's just so good! So this Amaretto and Cinnamon blend sounds delicious.

8. These amazingggg Signature & Chai Soy Wax Melts from & Chai! One of my favorite bloggers, Michelle from Daisybutter, started an Etsy shop with her sister and they sell delicious smelling candles and wax melts! I grabbed these precious clam shaped melts this morning. They smell of "green apple, white lilies, pear, tonka and vanilla"! Mmmm! I can't wait to get them.

9. These cozy, fluffy Plaid Crew Socks from Old Navy! While shopping for some tights, I came across these socks and grabbed Ástrid and I each a pair. I had to! They're cute and they look soooo comfy. I think one of the most hygge things for me is slathering on rich lotion and pulling on fluffy socks.

10. The video game My Time at Portia! I bought this because it's on sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop! I already consider a hygge activity to be gaming in general but especially a game like Animal Crossing, so I wanted to try My Time at Portia after my friend Samantha told me about her playthrough!

11. The Hygge Box! I'm a huge fan of subscription boxes, so I was so excited to see that there's a Hygge Box! It's definitely on my wishlist. I may order one for January! I want to do a review post on what I get. Would you be interested in reading that?

12. Some little hygge lovelies! Cuddling with my little family ♥ reading a magazine while lounging in bed ♥ art journaling ♥ ambient sounds on YouTube ♥ thick ramen broth ♥ getting under the covers for a nap ♥ wrapping myself up in a hoodie that's nice and a bit too big ♥ cleaning and organizing so the house is clear of clutter ♥ and so much more!

Do you live a hygge lifestyle? Is this the first time you've ever heard of hygge? Tell me that and about what you're loving in the comments!

Weekly Love List

Sukeban AK Weekly Love List

こんにちは! Oi! Hello! It's time for my first Weekly Love List. I even made a fancy new banner for these posts. 😁 What do you think?

I'm enjoying a cup of cinnamon dolce coffee while I write this, while Koji is playing Mount & Blade II (which I also want) and Ástrid is listening to musicals; all of our babies are either napping or just lounging around relaxed. It's a peaceful Saturday. ❤️

Here's what I'm loving... 

1. Lucile's Kitchen on Etsy! The piece that originally caught my eye was the Fall illustration from this beautiful 4 Seasons wall art set. I love illustrated food so much and Lucile's Kitchen has soooo much art to choose from. I've been getting ready to make a lot of Brazilian food lately, so I looked up Brazil on Lucile's Kitchen and found this delicious looking Feijoada recipe print. Japanese food is some of my favorite food, and I love Miso and Ramen, so these prints are a must have too. What is your favorite food?

2. Kness' kawaii ceramic animals! I absolutely adore the White Bunny Sitting one, but they're all so kawaii. I wonder if Kness will ever make a ratty?! I love rats so much.

3. It's sold out right now but this Pusheen Character Purse! I am a big fan of everything Pusheen related and I really need a new purse, so this is perfect!

4. Michelle Dao Art on Etsy! I'm finally starting my bullet journal, so I need a lot of STICKERS and while looking for Sailor Moon stickers (because Sailor Moon is wonderful) I came across Michelle Dao Art and ahhhh, so many kawaii stickers to choose from. From Sailor Moon to Japanese food to Fall stickers to so much more!

5. Yummy Gudetama Peach Gummies Lip Balm! Gudetama is so kawaii and I love lip balm and will need lots, especially in Autumn and Winter and especialllly when I start my Accutane. Plus, peach gummies are so delicious!
