We’ve been talking about prepping your home with plumbing
appliances for the upcoming winter season lately, but today I wanted to take a
break and talk about how to STAY WARM IN A COLD HOUSE. You may be cold due to
the fact that your new heating system hasn’t yet been installed, or perhaps you
can’t afford a high heating bill. Whatever the reason, I’ve compiled a list of
some ways to stay warm this season WITHOUT the high heating costs.
·
The best and easiest way to stay warm is to dress warm. For times like this, a hat,
particularly one that covers your ears, is going to be useful. The reason for
this is that a large amount of your body heat escapes through your head, so
keeping your head covered is crucial to staying warm. Also consider dressing in
layers with wool or cotton clothing and carry a blanket around with you if it’s
still not enough.
·
Another great way to keep warm is to drink hot drinks
or soups. Things like hot chocolate, tea, or coffee will raise your core
temperature so you may find yourself feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. As
an additional bonus, drinking hot beverages when you’re anxious or stressed can
be a very relaxing thing.
·
Use hair dryers. After a nice, hot shower or
bath, using a hair dryer over your body, clothes, and shoes will make you feel
toasty warm. Drying your hair will also keep the water in your hair from
frosting (and as we mentioned, this is important as heat escapes mainly from
your head).
There are a couple of quick tips on
keeping warm this winter. If you’d like more guidelines, make sure you check
