When you fire up your Amazon app to order some toilet paper, hand soap and cat litter (just me?), don’t check out without taking a look at the beauty and wellness section. Because the new beauty products at Amazon right now are good—like, really good. Sure, it’s always fun to shop at Ulta and Sephora for your beauty goods but Amazon has a lot more than you might think. We’re talking luxe hair care, fun nail polish shades, new concealer that’s also a hydrating eye cream and even an innovative vibrator. Yes, that’s beauty for your body. Go with it.

What’s especially fun about Amazon offerings is how truly diverse they are. What’s on my list? Oh, just the new CeraVe cleanser for dry skin, a hair gel collab with Jersey Shore‘s Pauly D (seriously) and a colorful new menstrual cup. Yes, it’s a random selection but that’s what makes it not boring. Add in fall-ready red nail polish and a new shampoo that won’t make your shoulders break out? You’re set.

Shop the new products we’re loving right now. Most, if not all, are on Amazon Prime because you won’t want to wait too long for these babies (especially the vibrator). Is your app open yet?

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

This beautiful Danish concept has become quite commercialized, so that as soon as we hear the word hygge (pronounced hooguh), our mind jumps to bulky sweaters, crackling fires and hot chocolate (or mulled wine).

But hygge is so much more than these accouterments of a cozy retreat. Hygge is the following things:

• Warmth and comfort of friends, and family.
• Nostalgia and gratitude.
• Pursuit of everyday.
• Feeling of a loving hug without any physical contact.
• Peace and renewal of a moment of solitude.
• Living in your now. Enjoying this moment.

Hygge is not just for cold, stormy weather. Hygge is for every day, all seasons. And hygge is especially important during the bustling, often stressful holiday season.

We know how much we try to cram into the weeks leading up to Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah and New Year’s. If you are like me, each year you say, “This year will be different.”

Well, it can be different with a little planning, a lot of awareness and hygge.

Hygge Memories

The most intriguing thing about our fondest hygge memories is that generally, nothing remarkable is happening. They are not major celebrations or formal parties or luxury trips or elaborate dinner parties.

Our fondest memories are like a warm, comforting hug that brings feelings of deep satisfaction and safety. That is hygge.

Fond Memories of Holidays Past

What memories bring you that warm nostalgia that is so comforting? Can you identify what you feel, hear, smell, or taste? Who are you with? Where are you? How does the space feel and look?

You may not readily be able to answer all of those questions. Yet I am 95% certain that at the heart of those memories is a feeling of harmony and togetherness. The two things not present are drama and mobile phones. Here are two of my most treasured holiday memories:

As a child, baking Christmas cookies with my mother and sister in our tiny ‘one butt’ kitchen. Dozens and dozens of cookies for family and friends were carefully prepared with love. And many ‘accidentally’ broken ones were eaten while we baked.

As an adult, Christmas morning in the years after my children realized who Santa was. We made a decadent brunch of Hershey Kisses pull-apart bread, fruit ambrosia with real pudding and whipped cream, quiche, and hot chocolate with more whipped cream.

Our morning stretched leisurely into the afternoon as we ate and opened gifts one at a time so that everyone could share the surprises, try out new gadgets and model new clothes.

The heart of these hyggeligt memories is, in its essence, unhurried time with people I love, laughter and sharing, and a sense of coziness that made me sure all is right with the world.

The Danes seem to have mastered the routines of hygge – and you can too. Here are two simple ways to get started:

First you can put on your ‘hyggebukser.’ These are those favorite pants that you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing in public but are oh, so comfy and immediately bring a sense of calm.

Or you can create your personal “hyggekrog” or cozy nook. This is a quiet corner, preferably with a view of nature. A comfy chair. Fresh flowers or a green plant. A candle or three. When things start to get hectic, this is your place of retreat with a cup of tea and deep breathing.

How do you get your hygge on? What are your memories of experiencing hygge? Do you have a treasured holiday memory you would like to share? Please share your stories below.

The start of the year is a popular time to reflect. So, I’m inclined to be a little philosophical as we greet 2021 while pulling ourselves out of the abyss of the past year and catching our collective breath.

I know there’s nothing magical about December 31. It’s simply a page that’s turning in the calendar. And yet, this year it felt like a significant, symbolic page.

We’re so ready to start over! And we’re armed with everything 2020 taught us, much of it far more than what we bargained for. As I glance back, then peek down a future path, I’m pondering this.

Will Older Women Lead the Way in 2021?

I’ve had countless inspiring conversations with women 60+ this year, my peers and my teachers. In general, not much threw them off their game for long. They suffered loss and navigated change. They innovated and figured out how to live well while riding the waves of 2020.

In reality, they do some of this every year.

Most women I encountered in 2020 shine with quiet grace and enviable resilience. I’ve marveled at what they’ve shared with me. 

And spoiler alert: they don’t have secret powers or use hidden magic. They simply draw from what they know, from who they’ve become. That’s why I think that the coming year and the years coming after can belong to older women.

We Were Made for These Times

At first, I couldn’t put my finger on why that rings true. So I pulled at three common threads older women share and found some clarity.

We’ve Weathered Many Storms

I can only speak about my upbringing in the US, but so much about how we’re raised leaves its mark, wherever we grow up.

Our grandparents and parents fought world wars, the first during the deadliest pandemic in modern times. Our elders endured the Great Depression. We come from strong stock.

And then came the era in which we came of age. The 60s and 70s were decades of great unrest, where seeds of change took root and were enveloped in layers of loss. Assassinations of beloved leaders. An unjust war. As Camelot ended and Watergate unfolded, our loss of innocence was guaranteed.

Along the way we forged our individual paths… sometimes in sorrow while carrying heavy burdens, oftentimes in joy and shouldering a lighter load. It’s easy to believe we’ve been preparing for these latest shifts our whole lives.

Older Women Aren’t Shy About Needing One Another

This year we realized that we needn’t be alone even if we lead a solitary life.

As 2020 dragged on, we muddled through staying in touch virtually. We gratefully overcame isolation and vowed to treasure our relationships all the more in the future.

Getting older brings a yearning to connect and to share, and there’s an alchemy in true sisterhood. The spirit of connection can sustain older women, and we, in turn, can exemplify the importance of staying truly connected.

We Have What It Takes

Older women have been nurturing the qualities and life skills necessary for coping with change for a while now. We draw from a menu of “lessons learned” and pull from a toolbox stocked with ways to thrive.

I’ve witnessed that we…

• Believe in something greater than ourselves, and
• Surrender to what cannot be changed. 
• Savor even the smallest goodness, and
• Prioritize what matters most.
• Recognize our limits, and
• Set healthy boundaries.
• Release judgment, and
• Soften how we treat ourselves and others.
• Reset when we’re thrown off balance, and
• Heal old wounds.
• Dig as deep as necessary,
• Stretch farther than we thought possible, and
• Trust we won’t break.

Is all of this a formula for leadership? If not, it comes close.

Older women are the heartbeat of these changing times. We whisper, “Steady on!” as we resolutely step forward into a new year.

And we metaphorically join hands, creating a chain of comfort and courage amidst all that lies ahead, all we’ve yet to do.

I think we’re up to the task.

What lifelong lessons kept you moving on in 2020? What new did you learn about yourself last year that made you more resilient? Do you feel ready to tackle any challenge that comes your way? Please share your strengths and any new hopes for 2021!
