Fika is life .

We recommend setting aside time each day, whenever you are able, to quietly meditate into your cup. It’s well known that uninterrupted down time midday increases energy, creative and positive thinking, and simply makes your day more pleasurable. Leave your phone and work silent for 15 minutes, give yourself true rest and you shall see!

Homemade is cozy, cost effective and made to your liking; but coffee shops have their own brand of cozy, and foster a sense of community and creativity. There are hundreds of coffeehomes in Milwaukee and each is unique and warm, and seems to truly care for the ritual. We all know collectivo; but what is your favorite? Mine is FUEL in Riverwest. Fuel has that 1990’s punk in nyc vibe, and is neighboring a wonderful brewery and a legitimate functioning and super cool video store!

#cozychallenge no. 4- experiment this fall with new scents! Research has shown that the olfactory system has the strongest direct line to the hippocampus and the amygdala, which are the memory and emotional centers of the brain. This is why scent memories can evoke such powerful feelings of nostalgia. A smell can carry us back to a specific time and place in ways that conscious thinking and remembering cannot.* The smell of woodsmoke and crunching leaves always brings cheer to autumn people, but you can also try out a new cologne, perfume or scented candle this time of year that boosts good mood for you! For example, when we travel, we like to pick up a new kind of soap or small candle to bring with us so that aroma helps us to remember the trip and transport us to those happy times. Go find your new favorite aroma today! #cozy #hygge #cozyhome #americancozy #olfactory (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpwloen83i/?igshid=l21pce6w6v14

First time bbq and it truly did not disappoint. From the atmosphere to the playlist to the sauce, I think it may have been my coziest dinner since thanksgiving.

Fuel cafe is an incredibly cozy and warm place to have a coffee or a drink and spend an afternoon reading a book. It reminds me of every awesome punk coffeeshop in Brooklyn in the early 2000’s. It’s hard to explain.
