Top 4 Cold-Weather Essentials and Tips for Staying Warm!
Today is cloudy and rainy, which makes it damp and cold. With the wind chill effect under the strong wind, it'll feel (perceived temperature) even colder than the actual temperature! Remember to put on your heavy coats 🧥, don hats 🧢🎩, scarves 🧣, and gloves 🧤; and layer up using "Onion" 🌟LAYER CLOTHING🌟 to keep warm! Also, dressing warmly can reduce the need for heating or electric fan heaters! 🤩
"Onion" 🌟LAYER CLOTHING🌟🧥
Inner layer: Wearing heat-tech, wool underwear, etc.
Middle layer: Focus on warm clothing like down jackets or wool sweaters, etc.
Outer layer: Choose outerwear that suits the weather, such as waterproof and warm jackets on rainy days
【Diet Section】
Have some comforting foods, usually ones you personally enjoy and find soothing.
For example, a bowl of chicken soup can evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, easing tension, lifting your mood, and making you feel at home. 🍲

If you need to use heating/heat fans, REMEMBER:
Close doors and windows tightly to avoid wasting heat! 🚪🪟
Direct the outlet of the heat fan downwards ⬇️⤵️
Indoor heat can easily escape through windows, so consider using thermally insulated floor-length curtains to reduce heat loss and enhance indoor insulation. 👍🏻

You can save up to 40-60% on electricity! 🤩
