Combat the cool in Autumn
As the weather starts to cool, it is important that we keep warm, so we have put together 5 simple ways of keeping you cosy as we move into the cooler months.
Seasonal sheets for your bed
Winter sheets are the perfect solution for staying cosy during chilly nights. Switching to winter sheets makes all the difference as they are better insulated, heavier, and made from a warmer material, therefore keeping the heat in all night long.
Get a door cosy!
What is a door cosy you ask? A door cosy is a cushioned roll that lies along the bottom of your door to trap the heat in your room where it would usually escape from that little gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. If you don't have a door cosy on hand, never fear - a rolled up towel will do the trick!
Pull your curtains early.
We are now back to shorter days, which means our homes have less time with the sun. Pulling your curtains as soon as the sun leaves the room is a good way to trap the heat in to help keep each room warm. Pair this trick with your door cosy to help!
Utilise a hot water bottle.
Opt for a warm wheat sack or hot water bottle to keep in bed, take in the car, sit on the couch with, take wherever you can! Keeping warm with something like a wheat sack or hot bottle can sub out the need for a room heater or electric blankets, saving power where you can.
A GOOD pair of Uggs!
A good pair of ugg boots will keep you so toasty that you don't need any heating on. Layering up in general is a good first choice before turning to heating appliances - don't underestimate the power of keeping your feet warm first.
