I grew up down south with my family, and we never did any traveling. The furthest that we ever traveled was to my grandparents house which was two hours west of our home. I cannot believe it, but I truly never traveled outside of our state until I was twenty-two years old. I went to a small community college near my house, and the first time I traveled out of state was with an old roommate. I never thought that I would end up living somewhere else, but life has a way of surprising you. I met a wonderful guy about three years ago, and we began dating. Long story short, we got married and moved up north. It is so different here. The climate is so much cooler and drier. I never had dry skin when I lived down south, and I guess that is because it was so humid almost year round. We had dehumidifiers running all the time in our home and at our school. I honestly had never even heard of a humidifier until I moved up north. My husband had lived up north for part of his childhood, so he knew that we would need a humidifier. He mentioned it to me when we first moved North, but I totally forgot about it. I forgot about it until Winter hit us. Winter here is unlike any Winter I have ever experienced. It is so cold, and there is so much snow. Not to mention it gets extremely dry as well. I decided to buy a humidifier within just the first couple weeks of Winter. I had had enough of the dryness already.
