Wintertime—I may be the odd man out, but it’s probably my favorite time of year. No offense to the other seasons, but, personally, there’s no better feeling than being snowed in with a bottle of red under five snuggly blankets. However, I’m not denying that the season comes with its share of challenges—shoveling snow, wearing three layers of clothes, and dry air caused by jacking up the thermostat, to name a few. The constant change of temps—especially when you’re going in and outdoors—also doesn’t help, as it ignites the start of nosebleed season, something I dread as much as tax season. Even worse—the dry air also always leaves my skin and plants super dry, especially the tropical blooms that need the moisture boost.
Eager to leave chronic nosebleeds, parched skin, and dried-out plants back in 2021, I decided to invest in a quality humidifier. After all, my primary doctor advised that doing so would finally put an end to waking up to a bloody pillowcase every morning. But I just didn’t want any random humidifier—some of the units I’ve seen have the misfortune of being small, hard to clean, and never seemed to fill up the room with enough moisture to make it worth the investment.
