Natural Lifestyle Letters When it’s cold outside, Reader, nothing creates a cozier feeling than a warm homemade beverage that is warming your hands, body and soul. If you’d ask a Nordic what that beverage would be, well, 90% would say: “Glogg of course, it’s winter isn’t it?“ If you have never tasted glogg, it is a warm spiced juice that is often bit on the sweeter side. Many want their glogg stronger and mixing some red wine, calvados or even rum. Glogg is like a close friend of mulled wine...

Natural Lifestyle Letters Dear Reader, we are stepping into the slower season — the time of soft light, quiet evenings, and the simple comfort of home. 🤍 When the light fades, I always feel drawn to simplify life and focus on the small things that bring calm.
