Sometimes, I feel like feet get a bad wrap.
They’re these weirdly-shaped... things at the end of your legs and while they have a very important job to do, getting most of us from place to place, people often neglect their feet health.
It’s me, I am people.
Why? There are a few reasons; I think in part, it’s because most of the time you can’t see a person’s feet, so I don’t really worry about how they look. Also, if you’re like me and wear heels, sometimes you associate your feet with negative emotions like pain after subjecting them to a night of teetering on stilettos. And side note, we're completely taken with the soothing self-care of putting all of our effort and time into our facial skincare – often neglecting other daily rituals for other body parts. But also foot upkeep can get expensive when, again like me, you have an extensive self-care regime.

I am a ‘high-low maintenance’ kind of gal. I get my hair done regularly, I get my lash extensions refilled fortnightly, my brows are tattooed, threaded and tinted and my nails are always topped up. I get all of this upkeep so that I can roll out of bed and be as confident as possible with minimal day-to-day effort.
But I never really consider my feet as a part of my regime. And if I really think about it, when my feet aren’t feeling their best, then neither am I.
