Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Crane humidifier: adorable and affordable!

Dry air -- common during fall and winter months as the heat kicks on -- dries out the skin. But you knew that. But did you also know it also helps flu germs spread, including H1N1 or "swine flu?" This article from US News and World Report explains more.

A simple room humidifier misting away while you sleep can be good for your skin and your overall well-being!

I bought this adorable Crane humidifier a few weeks ago and have been very pleased. More than enough mist for the average bedroom, and automatically turns off when empty. There's many adorable shapes available: this penguin, frog, cow, elephant, dragon, pig, Hello Kitty, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Spongbob! They'll set you back about $30-$35.
