How to Hygge-ify to Your Diet

‘Tis the season for all things hygge, or the Danish and Norwegian concept of the feeling of coziness, connection with loved ones, and pleasure. As the weather changes, we’re making our homes more hygge-approved (candles, fuzzy blankets, and faux fur everywhere), but we can also apply the concept into every area of our lives too (hygge is a feeling, not a decor style). On a mission to hygge-ify my entire life, I set out on a mission to change my diet for the colder seasons.

The list of high-friend count killers includes Neeson in Taken, Bronson/Statham in The Mechanic, Reeves in John Wick, Stallone in The Expendables and, now, Will Smith in Ang Lee’s Gemini Man. When we meet Smith, he has a very specific lifestyle. When he’s not taking out terrorists, he’s enjoying Georgia’s filmmaking tax credits at the well-stocked bayou homestead where he contemplates the moral compromises that define him as a man and the beauty of his surroundings as rendered by Lee’s modified ARRI Alexa M...
