Autumn is the perfect time to embrace all the coziness that hygge brings. Here are fourteen hygge-approved ideas for self-care to practice this autumn season.
Apple Picking
Along with getting some fresh air, apple picking is a fun way to spend an autumn weekend, and leaves you with plenty of fresh apples for snacking or baking.
Bonfire
Although you might think of bonfires more for during the summer months, it’s awesome to get bundled up and cozy by a fire outside during the fall, too. Bonus points if you have some hot chocolate or hot apple cider to sip on.
Pumpkin Farm
Whether your visit is related to Halloween or not, visiting a pumpkin farm is another great autumn time activity, whether you’re picking out decor, checking out a local farmer’s market, or getting lost in a corn maze.
Cozy Loungewear
The cooler weather is the best time for bringing out your comfiest pj’s and loungewear. Opt for what makes you feel the most comfortable.
Stay in Bed
You know those days when your bed is just everything? It’s okay to embrace it, and spend the day sleeping in and watching Netflix.
Cook Soup
Is there anything as cozy as a warm, nourishing bowl of soup? Embrace hygge this autumn by pulling out your favourite soup and chili recipes.
Knit or Crochet
Creating is one of our favourite forms of self-care, and something about knitting and crocheting just says hygge.
Baking
Not only do you get to enjoy the process of baking and the yummy smells it gives off, but you also get to reap the rewards of your efforts: win-win!
Cozy Blankets and Pillows
Nests of blankets and pillows are perfect for hygge! Why not pull out all the blankets and pillows that make you feel cozy?
Walk Through Autumn Leaves
