My story

I’m Collette Costello, a mum in my 40s. Juggling home, kids and work, I was running on empty. Every gap in my day got filled, and when I did stop, I didn’t know what to do with the time.

So I started a daily 15-minute hygge moment: a slow coffee, a candle, a walk. Those small pauses helped me find my way back to myself. I put my favourite 100 on cards so you can do the same.

When did you last give yourself 15 minutes, just for you?

In your 40s and 50s, you hold everyone together. The kids, work, the school run, the washing, the messages. Every gap gets filled, and you end up running on empty. When you finally get a moment, you can’t think what to do with it, so you reach for your phone instead.

Slow Down Using Hygge Cards

These Hygge cards make it easy. Every card gives you one simple, cosy thing to do, why it helps, and three easy steps. No planning. No apps. No pressure. Just pick a card and begin.

Pick a card by how you feel

Eight colours, each matched to a feeling. Whatever kind of day you’ve had, there’s a card for it.

Mustard hygge card reading 'Light every candle in the room', for when you feel frazzled

Navy hygge card reading 'Take a slow, unhurried bath', for when you need to rest

The eight feelings: rushed · frazzled · can’t settle · running on empty · stuck · can’t switch off · disconnected · ready to rest

All three are in 10 Days of Hygge, free.
