A few weeks ago, I wrote about niksen, a Dutch lifestyle trend that’s basically the art of doing nothing. Now, I’m familiar with hygge and lagom, but niksen seemed…fake. (I know it’s not, and I mean no offense to the lovely people of the Netherlands, but come on…) Inspired, I did a little more research and discovered the following Nordic lifestyle trends to justify all of my lazy/self-destructive/generally not productive behaviors.
(And yes, these are definitely, absolutely, 100 percent real and not made up by me using words I found on Ikea’s website.)
