Matt and Gillian shake off the winter chill and step into a sunshine-soaked Hygge fest inspired by The Little Book of Hygge [https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-little-book-of-hygge-meik-wiking?variant=32206016872482] by Meik Wiking. While this beloved book—previously explored in Episode 20 [https://allthingscozy.libsyn.com/website/20-the-little-book-of-hygge]—embraces candlelit coziness, they're flipping the script from fireplaces to fresh blooms. They share simple ways to sprinkle hygge into springtime from sunlit strolls and zesty pasta salads to fragrant simmer pots, fresh haircuts, and rejuvenating hikes. * Cozy Earth Discount * Visit CozyEarth.com [http://cozyearth.com] and save 40% with code ALLTHINGS at checkout  * If you get a post-purchase survey, let them know All Things Cozy podcast sent you! * Williams Sonoma Signature Spring Simmerpot  [https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/simmer-pot.html] * Candle Review: * Tranquil Lemongrass by Scentsational [https://scentsational-products.com/product-category/collections/stress-relief/] Support All Things Cozy by joining our Patreon [http://patreon.com/allthingscozy] and following us on Facebook, [https://www.facebook.com/AllThingsCozyPodcast/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/allthingscozypodcast/?hl=en], and Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/allthingscozy.bsky.social].
