It’s winter so that means it’s what? COLD. The winter months are when our fashions pick up layers, the sun sets around 5 pm, and we do what we can to weather the brisk air. For sure Winters in Denver are a bit more jarring than a lot of other places, so staying warm is a bit more of a challenge and unavoidable; if you plan on leaving the house that is. 

Winter is the time where staying inside is the desired action and keeping warm inside of your Aurora apartment is major. Of course, you can turn on the heat or purchase a wall heater for your home but there are several more energy-efficient ways to keep warm in your home.

 

Socks and Hats

Although it is not accurate to say that our heads are where we lose most of the heat from our bodies, it does account for 9% of your body surface so it is possible to lose enough that affects body temperature. Wearing hats can help keep your body heat insulated and keep that portion of your body from being exposed to the elements. 

Your feet ideally are what help keep your body temperature stable so 9 times out 10 keeping them covered will keep those chills away. Now, this may sound like common sense to some but it’s not common knowledge. 

 

Throw Blankets

Blankets! We all have them, and they do their jobs well however one step toward being warm and cozy in your home’s common areas is to invest in a sort of recreational blanket. When you are home, who wants to put on a jacket? I mean jackets literally fall under the category “outerwear” so that does not sound too comfy when it comes to your downtime indoors. From heated blankets to heavy throw blankets there are many options to find and try when it comes to staying warm.

 

Save on your light bill during this winter season and most of all, stay warm!
