"Since moving to Chicago a few years ago, I've had to get creative with wellness hacks for surviving long, dark winters. Using towel warmers for luxuriously toasty towels and robes, planning a weekly "Soup Sunday" with friends, and breaking up long afternoons with a tea walk have all helped me romanticize my postholiday regimen, but nothing beats warming up in my infrared sauna blanket and basking in some major post-sweat endorphins."
"As someone who's perpetually cold, an infrared sauna is the easiest way to warm up and swap out some of my seasonal depression for a heat-induced dopamine rush. However, my HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket lets me enjoy the sauna experience in a personal setting without paying for a gym or wellness membership, and it's become my favorite low-lift wellness-at-home hack over the last few years."
Chicago winters are long, dreary, and bone-chilling, with February provoking pronounced seasonal blues and housebound days during record cold and snowstorms. Small wellness rituals include towel warmers, weekly Soup Sunday gatherings, and tea walks to romanticize postholiday routines. An infrared sauna blanket provides deep warmth, endorphin-driven mood boosts, and an accessible personal sauna experience. Owned since 2024, the blanket proved an investment that saved money on gym memberships and transformed the routine into a cozy, low-effort ritual. The HigherDose blanket uses nontoxic, waterproof polyurethane layered with charcoal, clay, medical-grade magnets, and crystals, and emits far-infrared rather than full-spectrum rays.
