Hydration is Key
Ensuring your skin remains hydrated goes beyond just external measures. It begins from within.

As winter blankets the northern hemisphere in cold, there's an irresistible allure to escape to sun-drenched destinations that won't break the bank. If you're yearning for a budget-friendly sun holiday, here are the top 7 destinations offering warmth, relaxation, and affordability.

Costa del Sol, Spain

In the winter months, the Costa del Sol transforms into a haven of tranquility, allowing visitors to appreciate the region's natural beauty and cultural richness without the bustling summer crowds. The temperature remains pleasantly mild, making it an ideal time for leisurely exploration. Wander through charming coastal towns like Nerja or Estepona, where cobblestone streets are adorned with festive decorations, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Embrace the local lifestyle by savoring tapas in authentic tavernas, where you can relish the flavors of Andalusian cuisine in a more intimate setting.

In this blog, I will give you some additional tips to stay warm during the cold days.

1. Layer Up
Just as you would dress in layers outdoors, wearing layers indoors can make a significant difference. Opt for warm blankets, thick carpets, and soft cushions. These additions not only provide physical warmth but also add comfort and style to your home.

We all know how it feels to constantly sit on the couch bundled up in thick sweaters and fleece blankets. Cold toes and chilly fingers the moment the blanket shifts even a little. All this effort to avoid a sky-high energy bill at the end of the year.

As the temperature outside drops and winter approaches, how do we tackle this challenge?

Fortunately, I have 8 tips for you to make it through these cold times more comfortably.

1. Properly Insulate Your Home
Look into options to keep all the warmth inside your home before the cold sets in. Floor insulation, roof insulation, and cavity wall insulation are the most effective. You can request a quote online, and someone will assess what is needed and the associated costs. 

2. Draft Strips
Attach draft strips under every door and check carefully for any spots where the cold might still escape. Ensure your house remains well-ventilated, though, as occasional opening of windows for fresh air is necessary to prevent stagnation and a quick return to cold conditions.
