Dry, Cold Winters

Even though the weather here in SoCal is about 70 degrees during the afternoon, the day starts and ends at approximately 40 degrees! Recently, I noticed that my hands have become extra dry and my eyes have become pretty dry, as well. Last night, I figured that I should turn on my humidifier to get rid of the dry air (at least in my room!). Turns out, I made the right decision. This morning, I woke up refreshed and moisturized. My lips weren't as chapped, and my skin didn't feel so...dead, I guess the word is.

And, it turns out, my humidifier also came with a cool air purifier! I slept so soundly because my allergies were in control. Thank goodness for all the people who invented these appliances! They were pretty smart.
