In this episode of Uno Dos of Trace I dig into the science behind #hygge (pronounced HYOO-GAH). Specifically, warm light temperatures, warm ACTUAL temperatures, social interaction, and the materials we surround ourselves with. Even though some of this seems a bit hokey — there’s some #psychology, sociology, and even evolution tied up in those #cozy holiday feelings.
