I swear by five hacks to keep warm this winter without needing to put the heating one – including a totally free tip
A WOMAN has shared her five top tips to keep warm this winter, without needing to turn the heating on.
So if you’re looking to save cash and are reluctant to turn your heating on, you’ll need to listen up.
Kim, who lives in Australia, swore by her simple hacks – including wearing cosy socks in bed and drinking hot water – to stay warm during cold months.
So if you want to feel warm and cosy whilst sitting on the sofa in the evening, we’ve got you covered.
The brunette beauty took to social media to share her hacks, as she explained: “How I stay warm in this freezing cold weather.
“I wanted to share some of the things I have been doing to stay warm and cosy.”
First of all, Kim swore by thermals, as she said: “The first one is to wear wool thermals under everything. I know that Uniqlo has their own heat tech – I actually prefer to wear wool thermals.
“I feel like it keeps me a little bit warmer and it’s the best thing you can do – layering under your clothes to stay warm and cosy.”
She also recommended heat pads, as she advised: “Second thing that I do to keep warm is a heat pad.
“This thing has been such a surprising addition to the staying cosy in the cold weather routine.
“My mum used to have a lot of really bad back pain, so she bought this heat pad.
“This thing is amazing because it’s really small so if I’m sitting at the desk I pop it behind my back, if I’m sitting on the couch and I’m cold, it can either go on my front or my back and it’s the perfect bit of added warmth. It’s the best.”
Not only this, but Kim also swore by drinking hot water, as she added: “Another thing that I do to stay warm is drink hot water.
“I cannot recommend it highly enough – why torture yourself by drinking cold water in winter when your body wants to be warm? Just drink hot water or warm water.
“I often mix boiling water with room temperature water in my water bottle and drink it that way so it’s just something a bit warmer.”
As well as this, Kim also revealed that she sleeps in fluffy socks, as she continued: “The other thing I do is buy some really fluffy bed socks.
“They are so warm and toasty, that is my hack for staying warm whilst you’re sleeping.”
Finally, Kim explained that to stay warm, you need to layer your clothing, as she concluded: “Ultimately it just comes down to all the layers that you can possibly imagine.
“So, those are my tips for staying warm and cosy.”
