During the winter, we already have so much to be depressed about. The last thing I want to add to the list is being dry af from the heating. Call me old fashioned but I don't trust the dry heating and would prefer a boiler or a fire place, which I don't have in the home. Enter the hot water bottle. She's portable, keeps me warm, squishy and kind of acts as a weighted blanket if you position it just right.
