Weak in the...toes

Man, Vegas sure has done a number on me! I'm still feeling the post-Vegas effects--well, one of them. NUMB TOES. What?! It's the strangest feeling.

Vegas happened the first weekend of my Spring Break. So in the midst of trying to pack for my weekend of fun and then the rest of my break (which I spent at an internship. I know right? Two very different sets of bags.), I forgot to pack my Toms into my Vegas bag. So guess what the plan was? To walk in heels all day and all night. But after the first night, I came down with a case of numb toes. Thank goodness there was a CVS right next to The Venetian that sold slippers.

Heels are great. Heels + short hem line = long legs.

Men, the legs are optical illusions. But you're welcome to be fooled.

 What I didn't realize, however, was really how much damage I'm doing to myself. Of course, I knew the obvious ones: blisters, swollen feet, etc. But take for example my numb toes. My toes are numb because my nerves are pinched! I'm supposed to heal with rest and without treatment, but if I kept wearing heels, I don't doubt I would do some serious nerve damage. And take a look at the damage we do to our posture!

Scary folks.

I've sworn off my heels for about another week or so. Let's hope my numb toes go away soon!
