5 Great Tips to Stay Bundled Well This Season
We all like to stay warm so I thought I’d share these tips I found in a couple articles online. And although this sounds obvious, it’s more about ‘how’ you layer yourself that will work the best. I know personally I like to wear 3-5 layers when it’s sub-40 degrees out, which is many mornings and evenings for the next few months!
Some specific ways to stay bundled: (because we like to have fun)
- Wearing several thin layers of clothes will help you stay warm in cold weather. The warmth from your body will get trapped in the air pockets between the layers. Long underwear is particularly good for helping you stay warm and dry.
- Keep a throw blanket handy to cover your feet or shoulders, or use a fleece shawl across your lap or around your shoulders to help you stay warm. Fleece blankets and throws are particularly useful, because they are incredibly warm but lightweight and less bulky than most other fabrics. (blankets are a necessity around our household)

- Wearing fleece slippers around the house can help keep your feet warm. Look for non-skid bottoms because they prevent slipping and possible falls. (I’ve slipped before so can attest to this!)
- Heat from external sources can be helpful. If you use a heating pad for warmth, limit the length of time it’s close to the skin to avoid a burn and always turn it off if you are sleepy. Some heating pads come with safety shut-off switches, which will turn off automatically after a set period of time. There are also wraps or pads that you can heat in the microwave. They provide temporary warmth and you don’t need to remember to turn them off.
- Get sunshine, water, vitamins and stay social and active. Just because it’s cold and damper out doesn’t mean you have to stop doing what you would normally do in the summer. Your body needs vitamins, hydration, and activity to stay healthy, and ultimately to function well and keep you warm. So this season be sure to keep going!
