October love & Hygge
Hey everyone. So here's my first official blog post, it's the 4th of October today, and I think the first day it actually feels Autumnal. It's taken me my whole 27 years to realise how much I love Autumn, and that October is specifically my favourite month.
Don't get me wrong, I love hazy summer days and sipping a pina colada next to the pool, but for me personally, summer in the city (London) doesn't quite cut it. So it's such a relief for me that it's finally cooling down and the season of cosiness and Hygge, my new favourite word, is upon us.
It seems strange but I feel like the Danish Philosphy Hygge seemed to appear to me just as I needed it, I made a rash decision last month to quit my late night casino job (after 3 years) in order to pursue my makeup hobby and just general un-nocturnal happiness. The day after I uncertainly handed my notice in, I visited my parents in Yorkshire and my mum gave me a book to read.
Hygge roughly translates to Coziness from Danish but it means a lot more than that, to me it's something I've always felt and enjoyed but didn't have a word to describe it. To roughly summarise and explain what it means to me, it's about enjoying the simple things in life, and making the most of the little moments.
So whilst I am jobless I am focusing on my inner Hygge and getting super creative throughout October. Which is the perfect month to embrace your inner Hygge- ness, little things like enjoying a nice glass of red wine or going for a crisp autumnal walk are all part of it. Also every day over on my instagram- EmilyJayneFX I am posting a different SFX/ Facepainting look for Halloween & I am also planning a 90s themed Halloween party!
