So, I just moved from California to Nevada and brought all my stuff with me. Makes sense, right? I mean, it’s my stuff.

As winter has fallen upon us, we wanted to hear your tips and tricks to staying warm and what you find yourself wearing (or doing) to keep yourself from creeping up that thermostat! Is it fuzzy slippers, scarfs or gloves? Or your old ugly sweaters and sweatshirts (that you get each year for Christmas)? Do you use layers to keep you warm? Maybe it is keeping a warm cup of hot coco or tea close to warm yourselves from the inside out, or cozying in a big blanket. Heck, who knows, you could be one of the guitly who own the As Seen on TV’s “Snuggy”!!! What ever it is, we would love to hear!

So what do you do? What are secrets for staying warm in these chilly months? Let us know or send us some pictures. We’ll post a few of the best ones.
