Do a Few Chores to Warm Yourself Up Without Touching the Thermostat [Winter]

Home-centric blog Re-Nest shares a quick tip for staying warm as winter approaches: instead of turning up the thermostat, get up and move a little bit with the vacuum to keep yourself comfortable.

It isn't the most mind-blowing tip in the world, but if putting on a sweatshirt doesn't really help the temperature of your apartment, try getting up and doing a few chores. Not only will the movement warm you up, but you'll get something done in the meantime:

Last night I found myself cold in my house and needing to tidy up before my mom arrived for a short visit. Rather than bury myself under blankets on the couch, I vacuumed. Within a few minutes, I was warm from lugging my Bissell around and happy to be getting the job done. Similarly, I find that I don't mind handwashing dishes so much in the winter because I enjoy the warm water.

If you really hate doing chores, of course, you could just head to your computer room and play video games?I find sitting at my computer is consistently much warmer than my TV room.
