So a tip for my followers who work retail

beyonceprivilege:

Or wait or anything that requires you be on your feet for 6+ hours

Like you know how your feet feel all bruisey on the bottom after work and the pain still won’t be gone by the next morning and you have to deal w/ that pain AND the pain of the day to come

Well like my doctor told me that that bruisey feeling is cause standing on your feet all days causes fluids in your body to pool in your feet

So like at night he told me to elevate my legs with two pillows so the fluids can drain easier or w/e and ho damn.

It helps so much, Jesus Christ. No more limpy mornings.

Idk if this is even new information for y’all but just in case

I care about you

My massage therapist has me rolling my feet twice a day (I bought a foot roller at Walmart but a tennis ball will work really well too) once before bed and then again when I wake up but before I actually stand on me feet. So what I do is I swing my legs off the bed but stay sitting and roll them.

Also I do self massages with blue oil from aveda (that stuff is pricey, peppermint will help too. Or lavender)
