Spring cleaning might be one of my favorite times of the year. That sounds really dumb and painful, right? I clean a lot because I am really obsessive-compulsive about clean spaces, but even I look forward to the deep clean. I mean, how else am I going to discover the half eaten bag of Reese's pumpkins from Halloween hiding out in my pantry? But this post is about a different spring cleaning...more like hitting the reset button.

Towards the end of the holiday season I was bombarded with emails about "hygge" and how I could bring the practice into 2017. I was intrigued by the concept purely by its name and realized it's an incredibly popular movement I knew nothing about. Suddenly every email about recipes that would get me feeling totally "hygge" or furniture that would make my apartment the ultimate "hygge" retreat made sense. Winter, being so dark and cold, can lead to seasonal depression and overall feeling of wanting to hibernate until the spring comes around.
