I don’t want to believe it, but winter is coming. As temperatures drop, one of the best ways to keep colds at bay and your home comfortable is to invest in a humidifier. You don’t even have to spring for an expensive one—I bought a $40 humidifier for my bedroom last winter, and it was one of the best decisions I made. I got sick less, had fewer sore throats, and my skin didn’t feel as dry (especially my lips).
