If the chill of winter doesn’t evoke feelings of cozy contentedness, practising the Danish aesthetic of hygge certainly will. Hygge embodies self-care, peace, and happiness by practising small simple pleasures—a warm cup of tea on a rainy day, a pair of hand-made socks, a crackling fire, or time with friends.
Mississauga’s local shops know how to infuse every day with that warm, comfortable feeling.
