6 Winter Warmers: Cold & Flu Busters

You beat freshers flu, you've tackled your first assignment and finally cracked how to cook without setting fire to everything in a small radius. But the sickness is coming back... no not hangovers! Cold & Flu!! The reduced number of fruit and veg in your new student diet, the increased number of walks home at night, and the money saving housemate who keeps turning your radiators off all contribute to your house and body becoming a hot-bed of bacteria. Laughter is the best medicine, but when all else fails, give these helpful tips a try!

1. Actually turn on your radiators!
They are there for a reason - to keep you warm! You may think you're saving money, but it most likely is less than the money you'll spend on warm clothes and medicines.

2. Buy own brand medicines.
They are the same price as the big brands, and do exactly the same job. You may not think it, but remember - they can't legally sell it if it doesn't do the job.

3. Wear several thin layers rather than one large one
The more layers you have on, the more warm air gets trapped in-between your clothes. You'll be as snug as a bug in two t-shirts and a cardigan :3

4. Invest in a onesie
With lots of designs and colors, you may aswell look fashionable AND be warm! Here's my Stich onesie! :D

 

5. Close doors and curtains

Trapping heat inside the house and not letting it escape into other rooms or out the drafty window will help keep you nice and toasty.

6. Honey & Lemon Tea
This cheap little hot beverage not only warms your insides, but helps to calm that nasty cough and scratchy throat.
