Hi ladies, hope this helps:-

Relieving foot pain

Water massage

There feet relieving pain procedures can be used for all kinds of foot pain. Baths of hot and cold water can be very helpful for reducing swelling and pain.

Here’s what you do:

1. Soak your foot for 5 minutes in cold water
2. Move the foot to a container of hot water of a tolerable temperature. The temperature of the water should not be cool or even lukewarm.
3. Soak the foot in the hot water for 5 minutes
4. Return to the cold water
This simple process invigorates the feet and opens and closes blood vessels. When you’re finished, use a moisturizing lotion to help massage the feet.

Ointments

There are some ointments, especially those made from capsaicin (interestingly, an active ingredient in hot peppers) that are excellent in relieving foot pain. The capsaicin helps in relieving the blaze caused by burning feet especially for diabetic individuals. Applying the ointment may cause burning sensations in some people but should not be a cause of alarm as this effect lessens over time.

Especially for diabetics, the effects of capsaicin ointment are remarkable. Many diabetics report greater improvement and were waling more easily compared to those using other brands of creams. Another advantage comes from the fact that since these ointments are applied onto the skin, there is less risk of side effects.

Break in new shoes carefully

New shoes often create some foot problems, especially if you use them for running or strenuous walking or hiking. Individuals with new shoes shouldn’t over exert or they may end up experiencing excruciating break-in pains.
Of course modern footwear has come a long way in terms of shoe development technology.

Stretching

Stretching out the calf can help reduce or relieve foot pain.
Try this:

1. Standing three feet away from a wall, place your hand on the wall.
2. Lean toward the wall, bringing one leg forward and bending at the elbows.
3. Keep your back leg straight with the heel on the floor and then gently stretch the calf muscle.
4. Repeat for the other foot
Stretches like this can help in relieving some of the tension in the feet.

Choose the appropriate shoe size and shapes

Choosing the right shoe size and shape is important when it comes to foot problems. You need to buy shoes that match the arch of your foot so you don’t put too much tension on your foot. Another tip? Shop for shoes in the afternoon, as feet tend to be larger at this time of day.

Before you try any of the remedies discussed here, consult your own doctor for the treatments that will be best for your unique situation.

I suffer from painful feet as well. Go SGH and see a Doctor. I can't remember the name of the Clinic, but they have a specialist clinic there. They made special in-soles for me, and it worked wonders.

Grace, a bit of motivation for you:-
(Btw i eat a little portion of evry meal, make it 6 times (small portion) equivalent to 3 big meals a day.)

Cut calories
A gram of fat contains twice as many calories as a gram of carbohydrate or protein. Reduce high-fat foods in your diet, choose lower or fat-reduced options, use cooking oil and spreads sparingly and remove excess fat from meat.

Include lower calorie options in your diet, such as fruit and vegetables. Bulky fibre-rich foods are also a good choice.

Try switching from white to wholemeal bread, or choose a wholegrain breakfast cereal.

Think about portion sizes
Portion sizes have increased over the years, especially when it comes to ready meals and snack foods. This means we're consuming extra calories, but we adapt quickly to eating bigger portions and don't tend to feel fuller as a result.

Downsize potatoes, pasta, rice and fatty and sugary foods, and super size fruit and vegetables.

Watch what you're drinking
Cut sugar-rich drinks and alcohol, and instead choose water, tea, coffee or artificially sweetened drinks.

Sugary drinks add extra calories to your diet but don't make you feel full or satisfied.

Keep a balanced diet
Remember the principles of a balanced diet - include plenty of fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a day), unrefined foods with more fibre, lean meats and low-fat dairy products.

Get active
Becoming more active doesn't necessarily mean sweating it out in a gym. Instead, try the following:

Choose activities you enjoy and try to spend more time each week on these
Incorporate more activity into everyday life
Buy a pedometer and increase the number of steps you take each day

Hello

I didn't pay a single cent for the soles. They were fully paid for by the army.

But if I'm not wrong, I think its more then 200+ per sole. Each last over a year, and you can bring it back to the Podaitrist <-- I think thats how its spelt, to "repair it".

But I think its a good investment

Delin, I am still hesitating big time on that dress as it requires ironing and pressing haha. Though I thought I looked good in that piece, the amount of ironing kinda puts me off some. Do you buy something that requires ironing?

errrr... i just buy if i find that cute little dress really puts me ON.
i dun care of the ironing part.
Mayb can consider dry cleaning, for dress quite cheap $3-$6 i guess...
if not u wash hand the dress, so wld not look too crumple...

I bought a dress from Chomel. When I tried in their dressing room, it was flare &amp; loose.

But after washing, it clings on to my skin.

Ironing doesn't help either. What can I do to bring out the same look again?

Yes, VS items are all very exquisite and unique (since not easily available). That is why I don't mind paying a little more to import the pieces myself. Hey, now the currency exchange between US and Sing dollars is in our favour, so not bad at all!
