On Friday two days ago we celebrated what in Swedish is called "höstdagjämning". The word for this in English is September Equinox or Autumnal Equinox. In the northern hemisphere the Autumnal Equinox occurs when the sun shifts into the zodiac sign Libra. This is when the days start to get shorter and we start seeing amazing colours in nature. More importantly though it's when we can finally start getting cosy again and this is something Scandinavians know how to do very well. So well indeed that we even have specific words for it.

The meaning of autumn cosiness is different for everyone but we would say that for us it's to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in your home and enjoy every day, even if summer is over and the days are grey. Now is the time to turn to self-care and all that it means for you. Free time, family, friends, funny series, interesting books, cosy evenings on the sofa and of course GOOD FOOD. All this we think brings out a warm and cosy autumn atmosphere. One of our favourite things to do to get that autumn cosiness going is to have a nice, big cup of hot chocolate. One that we get really excited about is of course the good old Swedish classic O'boy. O'boy was launched back in 1960 and has since then been the Nordic region's most popular chocolate drink. This drink gives us so much nostalgia!

We wish you all the most amazing start to the autumn season and hope that you get plenty of cosy autumn days and nights.

Hot chocolate, tea, soup and other things to get cosy with this autumn you can find in our autumn collection.
