It’s nearly the end of winter and this time of the year can feel a bit dreary with long, dark nights, snow stormy weather (to date our coastline has been battered by six storms!) and summer still feels like months away yet. However you don’t have to give up with despair, winter can also be good time to slow down and take some much needed downtime.
At the Beach Boutique we have selected some inspirational things with a hygee vibe which are perfect for this time of year. Never heard of hygge? It’s the Scandinavian way of riding out winter by staying home, getting cosy and enjoying your time to family and friends. Summer’s not far away!
