Hi, ladies, it is the dryness of indoor heat that is drying out my hair, my skin, my ears... I've started putting a pot of water on the cookstove to simmer, to add some humidity. It really does help!! Now I've added some dried buds of lavender, so my whole home smells heavenly. Sleeping with socks on helps me keep my body heat in... but I hear the furnace grinding on and off All... Night... Long... oh, well, not going anywhere.
