When temps are down, you're always looking for that little bit of extra warmth.

Here's how to turn a sock into a warming compress.

The only thing else you need is dry rice.

I'm just gonna fill this cup up with rice.

I'm just gonna put the end around the cup.

I'm gonna tie a knot at the base of the rice.

For a more permanent solution, you can also sew it shut.

you're not cooking the rice, you're just warming it up.

That radiant heat is so cozy on a cold day.

As long as this doesn't get wet, you can keep using it again and again.

For another version, you just need some small towels and a plastic bag.

put them in the microwave for two minutes.

For extra comfort, you can toss this in a pillowcase or wrap it in a towel.

When the temperatures drop outside, you should know how to build a fire.

Always check local regulations before lighting any fire.

These logs will be the longest burning fuel for your fire.

In the center, lay in some kindling, leaving room for airflow.

Add another layer of smaller fuel logs right on top.

Finish off with a little more tender on top.

For a safe fire, you want an enclosed space like a fire pit or a fire ring.

If you start a fire, you should be the one to put it out.

To do it safely, douse with water and smother until those embers are no longer warm to the touch.

Ceiling fans are definitely helpful to keep you cool in summer,

but they're also a key solution in winter to stay warm.

The main purpose of a fan is to circulate air around a room.

But there's one thing you need to check first.

In the summer, ceiling fans should rotate counterclockwise.

But when you're feeling cold, set them to rotate clockwise.

And if you have a smart fan, it may be as easy as a button on a remote.

Because hot air rises, it tends to settle near your ceiling.

That clockwise motion is going to push warm air back down into the room.

That'll help regulate temperatures in your room and make heating your home more efficient.

Make sure to check all the fans around your home and adjust them seasonally.

Hmm, I'm gonna need a ladder for this one.

In the coldest months, heating a whole house could cost a fortune.

Sometimes you only need to warm a small area or you want to add supplemental heat.

A space heater can be a great solution, but be careful.

But in smaller spaces, these really do make a difference.

You always want to plug these directly into the wall.

Keep them away from doors and windows and give them a three-foot radius of clearance.

While many of them have safety features, they can still be a fire hazard,

Don't leave them unattended, and don't leave them running for extended periods of time.

Don't forget, even with a space heater, start with proper layering like a jacket, a sweatshirt, or a blanket.

Those are gonna be your cheapest options that don't require power consumption.

If you are using a space heater, it's a good time to make sure those smoke detectors are working and that you have an extinguisher.

These are great for garages, desk and bedrooms.

Keep it ne near you to stay more comfortable.

On those extra chilly days, aheater alone may not be enough.

Here's how to use humidity for an extra boost of comfort.

A humidifier like this can actually help you feel warmer in cold months.

If you run your heater, dry air doesn't do a great job retaining heat.

So even at warmer temperatures, you can still feel a little cold.

Humidity solves that problem by trapping heat in the air.

A little bit of humidity in a small room can make a big difference.

Even though the humidifier is not adding heat directly, it'll help you feel warmer.
