So far, this winter has been mild in Texas  but you should be prepared for those low temperature days with these tips.  1. Buy a humidifier-the appliance helps you lower heating costs, preserve furniture, keep your skin hydrated and helps you stay healthy.  2. Clean your windows - this will allow the warming sun to stream into your home as much as possible. 3.  Update your warming beverages. Try something new like Canada's London fog, Vietnamese coffee or update your hot chocolate with peppermint shavings & chocolate sprinkles. Don't forget the marshmallows, our favorite!
