How to Keep Warm in Winter?

Easy ways to keep warm in winter through long cold days and nights on a budget
Winter vacations are a blast when you’re all bundled up and making snowmen with kids or inching your way down the slopes one fall at a time. When you’re staying in a hotel, you know you can go inside and crank up the heat and be warm again in no time, but heating your home is a different story.
Turning up the thermostat at home is not among the most economical, efficient, or eco-friendly ways to keep warm in winter, but there are plenty of other options. Some of these heating solutions may not show off your figure very well, but you’ll feel better and that’s what matters once temperatures drop.

On chilly days, pull up a hood or a comfy hat. Heat escapes through your head so cover it up to retain more. Wear a shirt with a high neck to protect your throat; leaving it exposed to cold air for too long will lead to a sore throat.
Hot Drinks and Soups

Don’t forget about soups and stews. These hearty foods are an excellent source of tasty nutrition, and brothy soups help keep you hydrated and healthy. Throw your ingredients in the slow cooker overnight or first thing in the morning and these meals will basically make themselves.
An even simpler and lasting way to warm your body and your spirit is with a special meal. Plan a satisfying meal around a hearty bowl of classic clam chowder or a spicy crab soup and warm, fresh bread. Buy this soup online and keep it in the freezer, ready to warm and serve. New Englanders have known how to stave off a chill for generations, thanks to the ferocious Nor’easter.

Move Furniture
One of the simplest ways to keep warm in winter is to pull furniture away from radiators and heating vents. This lines the walls and tends to get blocked by chairs, which means you are cutting yourself off from the heat. If the space is tight, simply pull things out a few inches or shift them around to improve airflow.

Insulate Drafts
All you need to do is place your hand on the window sill or at the bottom of the front door to feel if a draft is coming through. Drafty spots are a two-way street, so if you don’t block them, you’ll lose warm air. Use what you have on hand—an extra blanket or towel—for better insulation.
