As we are at the tail end of the winter season, it is still important to keep ourselves warm and be vigilant when it comes to our unpredictable weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our tips to help you keep warm this Winter. From inexpensive and practical to emergency ideas that you may want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Layered Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep warm clothes at the ready. Have thick cardigans, coats, scarves, gloves and socks accessible when you feel a little bit chilly. Don\u2019t forget to remove any outer layers if you\u2019re doing anything physically active to the point of sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Setup camp. Indoors!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pick a small room in your home and set up a tent or blanket<\/strong><\/a> fort. This could also be a fun activity for you and the kids. A smaller room warms up a lot quicker and being inside a tent provides an additional layer that can keep you warm and retain heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Blankets and sleeping bags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wrap yourself up in a blanket<\/strong><\/a>, snuddie (an oversized blanket cross hoodie) or sleeping bag, especially when you aren\u2019t moving around or are incapable of moving around too much. Layer up with another blanket<\/strong><\/a> if you are still feeling the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Portable heater<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While a huge energy waste, in an emergency, it is good to have a heater. There are a wide variety of portable heaters; from one that can heat a small room, to ones that are as small as a portable radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Keep it all closed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep all doors closed. Weather stripping will help keep those pesky cracks in the windows and doors sealed so no heat will escape and cool air won\u2019t get in. Also consider draping a thick fabric<\/strong><\/a> over the door and closing the curtains if you lack weather stripping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Outdoors? Hand warmers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we all wrap up warm when heading outdoors. But you might want to consider taking along with you hand warmers \u2013 rechargeable electric or air activated. These will generate heat to keep you extra toasty. Put them in your pockets or gloves to help warm up your hands. It\u2019s handy if you\u2019re someone whose hands get cold in the office too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another tip to try is to hanging your coat and scarf on the heated radiator before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
