American Cozy
American Cozy: Hygge-Inspired Ways to Create Comfort and Happiness | Stephanie Pedersen
21 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
The wildly popular phenomenon of hygge gets a warm American twist with this gifty, illustrated guide from bestselling Danish-American author Stephanie Pedersen. With their overscheduled lifestyles, Americans can't always find time for the people and things they love. Enter American Cozy, which uses the Danish phenomenon of hygge--comfort, togetherness, and well-being--to bring coziness and ease to readers' homes, work, and lives. Filled with charming four-color illustrations, it explores organization and home dcor, entertaining, cooking, creating a happier, more productive work life, de-cluttering, and slowing down.

Mehso-so

I think this book was fairly mediocre. It didn‘t really have much (if any) new information in it, and I can‘t say I enjoyed it. I read it through to the end, but that was more stubbornness on my part than it was enjoyment. I‘m glad I checked it out from the library instead of purchasing it, since it was definitely a #borrownotbuy. Also, why did the author hate the color grey so much? She went on about it at least three times! I love grey! 🩶!!

I just wanted find share this hilarious random picture of me at 17 next to me at 40 😆 because I needed to use something to tell @Mommamanzi and @Jeshara that I got my box and Sarah, your #craftsandcozies package shipped and should be there Saturday. 🙌

mcipher And @Jeshara I totally forgot to hashtag them box 😖 3y

A_planNerd I accidentally hit send earlier lol so I decided to comment on your post instead. In continuation, similar to you I love mugs as well. I own many but can‘t stop buying them. Cozy socks fit the season perfectly. I try to purchase bookmarks from everywhere I travel too but never use them, just an odd collection lol I don‘t own any book sleeves yet but they look cute and fun. As for bath products, I tend to skip due to sensitive skin and no bath lol 3y
A_planNerd Hope that helped a bit as I realized I was not helpful at all when I submitted my sign-up form. 3y
mcipher @A_planNerd Totally helps thank you!! 3y

Such a great quote!

While you cannot end world drama and suffering, you can ensure that your focus and well-being are not being compromised by limiting the media you consume each day. Your brain will be clear. Your heart will be more open. And you will feel more focused and grounded without the drama and trauma swirling around in your head — and without the cortisol your body pumps into your system as a result of obsessing over media stories.

I *love* hygge, so I couldn‘t believe how much I hated this book. The science she used was way spotty, she had a bizarre agenda against the color gray and it genuinely just didn‘t encompass hygge at all.

Susanita What? Gray is an awesome color! 4y
Mandigolightly @Susanita it was VERY unusual 4y

This morning I just want to read something cozy. I woke up at midnight with an anxiety attack and I'd just gotten back to sleep when my little guy woke up at 4 and started throwing up. He's been doing so every hour since. We are off to a rough start of the school year and he isn't even in public school 🤣 we just catch things from friends with older kiddos in school. Oh well. Builds the immune system... right? For now? Tea and this relaxing book.

Laura317 Poor little pup! Hope your son feels better quickly. 5y
Eggbeater Aww That's miserable. I hope he feels better soon and I sympathize with the anxiety attack. ❤ 5y
cobwebmoth Hope everyone is feeling better soon! 5y
