Staying warm mentally or physically
Now that sounds tummy warming wonderful, but oh, what it would do to my diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I'll have to stick to the fannel shirt and warm oatmeal with raisins.

I bake cookies, oatmeal-raisin, molasses-spice, chocolate chip, etc. A cup of spice cider and a flannel shirt don't hurt either.
Know the FOTMD warmth feeling.
I don't wear wool, but I do have some silk long underwear that helps on the coldest of days. Then comes regular T shirt and a sweat shirt And over that one of quilted flannel jackets that my hubby got for me this year.

folkfan,
Until we put in a free-standing gas stove a couple years ago I was cold a lot of the year. Now, I go to the stove to get warm and since it has a glass front (a type of ceramic, actually) if you want to sit by it to read, you can see the flame. It's really nice how, along with some other improvements made to the house to keep heat in/cold out, last winter our highest heating bill was about $140 and we were warm.
Sharon's candles sound wonderful!
Due to the cold, I've recently been burning a candle in the kitchen. Now a single flame doesn't give off that much heat. However the candle I've been burning has a warm scent to it and that mentally seems to warm me up.
The cinnamon scented soy candle was made by Sharon Jackson who lives down in MO. and gives me the feeling of walking into a room that has had apple pies baking. I love cinnamon in apple pies and this candle has worked at warming me up mentally. Time to get more though. I've had this one going all day.
Anyone else have a trick for warming up mentally, or even physically???? Share please....
