The modern stoop: less functional, more aesthetically appealing.
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara I judged A Little Life by its cover: I was in a bookstore, saw the cover, and bought it.

In addition to this need to be screen-free, I also need candles in my life. Lots and lots of candles. I light … Continue reading More Hygge with Homemade Candles
I've described my 2019 foci to push myself physically (through sprint triathlons, which I know I enjoy) and do less (by taking planned detox from the news and social media, limiting my personal projects, and spending more time happily doing nothing). My last 2019 focus is to generate more hygge. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, … Continue reading My 3rd New Year’s Resolution: More Hygge
