Beat the Cold with These Tips!
Temperatures are lowering, winter is coming. It’s time to take those extra thick sweaters out for the season. Here are some tips to hep stay warm.
Dress in Layers
Usually when it starts to feel chilly we add layers, doing this keeps us warm. The weather is unpredictable, no matter how accurate the weather app may seems, be prepared for the unexpected changes.
Some options include but not limited to:
1. Turtleneck
2. Multiple thinner sweaters
3. Fuzzy socks
4. Jackets
Turn on Ceiling Fan
Believe or not but a fan can do more than cooling you. Having it on can help circulate the air and keep your space warmer longer.
Tip: Put the fan in reverse. It will push the hot air down.
Hot and Cold Shower
Hot showers will warm you up quickly. However, a cold shower helps with circulation and blood flow. Ending your showers with cold water can also help keep you warm after stepping out.
Sun can be Fun
Harness the warmth of the sun by keeping the blinds open during the day. At night, you can close the blinds and curtains to insulate your home better.
Layer your Blankets
Much like layering with clothes, you can also do so with the blankets around your home. Putting the more fluffy blankets closest to the skin and the thin blankets on top to help trap the heat.
Stay Dry
One of the main reason why you may feel cold is due to moisture, from wet hair or sweat. When stepping out into the cold snowy world make sure your gear is dry and bonus points if they are freshly warm out from the dryer.
