I blame the maple syrup

My girlfriend and I are in a extended term monogamous romance, and it’s excellent. But our appreciate lifestyle was having a bit plan, so we preferred to spice points up. Then it dawned on us: why not provide our like for the Danish thought of hygge — the excellent of coziness and ease and comfort — into the bedroom?

Following all, we had by now decorated our bedroom with this philosophy in head. So, we imagined, let us use it to anything we do in there.

We started off off making an attempt to established the temper by lighting some candles. Whilst their flickering heat light was very passionate, I hadn’t found the scent: Horse Farm. To the credit rating of the candlemakers, inside minutes it smelled just like a horse farm in our smaller condominium. So I snuffed them out, opened the windows, and turned on a handful of electronic candles leftover from Halloween.

Hygge is all about acquiring cozy on a cold winter’s night time, and with all the home windows open up, it undoubtedly felt like a person. So the up coming issue we tried out was dressing up in sexy hygge outfits. My girlfriend sauntered out of our closet in head-to-toe wool, which also protected her deal with. She stumbled forward, seeking to locate the mattress with her palms. I needed to assistance her but I had fallen over on a pile made of every flannel shirt we very own. She smacked her knee and swore in a really un-hygge way.

We clumsily removed just about every other’s layers, which took about twenty minutes. At this point, the condominium smelled a little significantly less like a barn, so I closed all the home windows. Other than her skin currently being irritated from all the wool she experienced just been carrying, she seemed wonderful and I was fully turned on.

At this position, I assumed it would be a excellent foreplay transfer to feed every other some hygge treats, so I whipped up some flapjacks dripping with maple syrup and reheated some beef stew that had been sitting down in our fridge for about a week. Honestly, the odor of that stew built me nostalgic for the horse candle, but we ladled some into just about every other’s mouths and did our greatest to go “Mmmmm” in a sultry way. We then each individual took little handfuls of pancake and nibbled on them as the syrup dribbled down our chins and all around our bodies. Her system glistened in a pretty flattering way, but the syrup produced my upper body hair stick jointly. It then swiftly dried out into very little spikes, earning my torso appear like Dude Fieri’s head.

This felt like the excellent time to split out some critical oils I bought before that working day. They arrived in a little something known as a “Pumpkin Pie Sampler Pack,” which is thoroughly hygge. Sadly, the clove and cinnamon oil actually stung soon after a while, not only on our skin but in our nostrils too. Once again, we both longed for the earthy musk of barn ponies, but considering that almost nothing is far more hygge than nostalgia, we rolled with it.

It was at last time to get down to some authentic hygge lovemaking, so we curled up into a very little ball less than the handles. And fell asleep.

So the experiment was fairly a great deal a failure. Whilst I cannot recommend attempting to (literally) spice up your adore daily life with hygge, you may have greater luck than we did, so why not give it a shot?
