Here are some tips for keeping warm...and staying green. If you are visiting relatives or staying in one of our local hotels. It's easy to keep warm without wasting energy.
Dress for the Season
Sacramento has a chill in the air that is definitely putting everyone in the holiday spirit. Make sure to pack warm clothes this winter. Choose clothing made of recycled, organic and fair-trade products. Organic fabrics are soft and warm and perfectly natural for a holiday trip to Sacramento.
Monitor Your Thermostat
Turn it off during the day while you are away and turn it off again before bed. If you have a programmable thermostat, program it for when you know you need a little warmth and let the room cool down when you aren't there.
Get Cozy
No need to turn the thermostat up too high even when you are in your room. Bring your favorite blanket and cuddle up to stay warm. Light eco-friendly candles, like the soy candles I love from Taylor's Art & Soul in Old Sacramento, to create ambience and a general warmth in the room...make sure to follow safety rules with candles.
Let the Warmth In
Open drapes and curtains during the day to let the sun's warmth in your room. Close drapes and curtains at night to keep the cold air out.
