10 Ways to Stay Warm Without Turning up the Heat

My husband and I are polar opposites, when it's cold I turn up the heat; he puts on socks and grabs a throw blanket. So with the impending chill zone we're getting set for, I thought that I'd try to come up with ways to stay warm without turning up the heat.

TOP 10 WAYS TO STAY WARM WITHOUT TURNING UP THE HEAT:

• Use a humidifier, humid air feels warmer
• Wrap your hands around a warm drink in your favorite mug, this will make you happy and warmer
• If the sun is out, open the curtains
• Cook a roast or stew on low all day, the smells will warm you and then when it's time to eat they'll warm you all over again
• Block drafty doors with weather stripping or rolled up towels
• Switch to flannel sheets and add an extra blanket
• Fill a bottle with hot water or microwave some rice and place it into your bed before climbing in
• Cover your head, sleep with a stocking cap and it will keep you warmer throughout the night, even if the rest of you isn't covered so well
• Snuggle with your mate or your pets
• Lay down some rugs, if you have bare floors the temperature can drop from the cold feeling of the floor
