👟Lil Treasures #152: Bath and Body Works and Foot Health
We're also talking the patriarchy and The Cat in the Hat
Okay you beautiful internet weirdos, the time has come to unpack why our bodies are constantly in pain. I christened this year (the year before my 40th birthday) as my “Get-Your-S-Word-Together” Year, and part of that was launching an investigation into why my body was screaming at me for the past five years. Let’s pretend I adhered to that mission all year long instead of attempting to cram it into the last six months.
All that to say, when you give a mouse a cookie, except the mouse is me and the cookie is every therapeutic device known to man. And on this journey, I started to learn a little bit about foot health, and how that can affect our whole bodies.
Now, let me say, although we are all very aware, but I am not a podiatrist. I am but a humble theater major, so please. Do not take anything I say here as foot gospel. Go to the doctor, etc.

Now on to the treasures:
❗️If you need your daily dose of observations about the patriarchy, read this thread by Laura Robinson on Twitter (make sure you read all of the tweets in the thread!)
👮Don’t you just hate when the security guard won’t get out of the way.
🥧If you are a rage baker like myself you need this ornament for you tree this year!
🧼Friends, I really love self-care products, and the lovely potions master Erienne from Some Call Me Crunchy makes some of the best out there (and it’s all-natural, too)! I use her face oils, and she has lots of other cool products like goat milk soap, salt scrubs, candles, etc. You can check out the new Winter Collection at this link, and right now there’s a 10% off discount if you want to save a lil extra!
🚌This bus stop parable by Kayla Craig is a lovely read for your Friday.

This Dad is awesome!
A few more things I have stayed away from twitter but yesterday Ally Henny referred to the new owner of twitter as "Peed on Crust" instead of using his name and I howled with laughter. Twitter was a complete mess yesterday and I think it will just continue to be that way.
