Particularly in winter, you might be feeling like a couch potato on a Friday night. Plans with friends or family might not seem too exciting, or maybe you've convinced yourself that your furry BFF needs your companionship for the night. Rather than feeling as though you need an excuse to stay in on Friday nights, our Swedish friends actually celebrate that tendency to stay in....and their tradition is called “Fredagsmys."
👉 So, go ahead and give yourself permission to setup a cozy vibe at home and unwind tonight. After all, it is a practiced tradition!
