Dry Air

This time of year there isn't a lot of moisture in the air, especially when you have your heater on.  For me, the drier air causes dry skin, sinus problems, and lots of static shocks!  There are many ways to combat dry air in your home, like buying/installing humidifiers.

Or there's my favorite cheap and easy option.  Take a crock pot, fill it with water, and turn it up to high.  As the water turns to steam, it helps moisturize the air.  To make it even better, you can add things to the water to make the house smell nice.  Today I put in half a cinnamon stick and a couple of cloves.  When I made my lemon meringue pie I tossed in the leftover rinds.  My house now smells all citrus-y and spicy, perfect for the holidays!
