Isabella, however, describes the significance of embodying hygge in the household.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important that the place where you go home to is a place that makes you feel comfortable and cosy. That way, it\u2019ll be easier for you to lay down your troubles and work,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Journey: Past And Present<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For Isabella, the overarching feeling she experiences towards coming to The Moon holds special meaning to her. It is intended as a safe space \u201cfor anyone who\u2019s ever been told by society or by the people around them that they don\u2019t belong\u201d, she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing people who never found a place in our society find a home in The Moon \u2013 and I see that every time a customer walks in \u2013 it always makes me really happy,\u201d explains Isabella.<\/p>\n<p>Come September, The Moon promises an extensive anniversary celebration \u2013 one that, according to Isabella, \u201cwill showcase what The Moon is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They will also be launching several exciting new products at the anniversary celebrations, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><em>Author\u2019s note: All opinions as portrayed are subject to Isabella\u2019s personal beliefs, experiences, and opinions.
