Real talk: Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and my busiest season in the chair. Pie, candied yams, caramel everything, a bottle of red wine nobody asked for — and then the first week of December is a parade of chipped teeth and 'it only hurts when I chew'. So this year I'm getting ahead of it. This is the kit I wish every patient had in their bag before the holiday: post-feast rescue tools, travel-ready oral care for the trip home, and the teeth-friendly snacks and swaps that let you enjoy the whole spread without the January root canal energy. Vulnerability disclosure: I once cracked a molar on a rogue piece of pecan pie crust at a family dinner and had to sit through dessert pretend-chewing on one side. Never again. As always, this is general guidance, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.

I've been on a healthy/wellness/fitness journey for what seems like my entire life as a bigger gal. Now that I'm in adult, I tend to find it easier to eat healthier.

Sitting at a desk eight hours a day wrecked my feet in ways I never expected. My arches seized up, my plantar fascia screamed every morning, and no amount of stretching before bed was cutting it. If you spend most of your day sitting and your feet feel like they belong to someone 30 years older, this is the lineup that finally loosened things up. Took me a solid year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
First off, I'm sorry you're reading this list because either you or a close family/friend broke an ankle/foot and it's not FUN!! I broke my right ankle (fibula) May 2023 and then the same right ankle again, June 2024 (tibia this time). It was terrrrrible both times lol but especially the first. I couldn't put ANY weight on my foot for 6 straight weeks, whereas the last time in 2024 when I broke it, I was able to walk using my boot.
But two weeks after breaking it in 2023, with the non-weight bearing, I had my planned trip to Belgium and still went. These things saved me during my healing time and traveling while injured.
I flew from New Jersey to a layover in Iceland then to Belgium and vice versa on the way home with a broke ankle not being able to walk. I used wheelchair services in the airport and that made my life much easier.
If you're going through this too and wanna talk about it with someone who understands, lmk! It definitely would've helped me knowing someone who went through the same thing.
These are my tried-and-true picks for staying grounded, moving my body, and feeling better overall. From meditation apps and journals to workout gear, I’m sharing the things I’ve used for years that just work for me!🫶🏻✨#WellnessJourney #MindfulLiving #FitnessFaves

Moving into your own place for the first time is exciting until you slice your finger chopping onions at 11pm and realize you own zero bandages.
