Hello all! I’m too tired to sit at my table or the couch or even sitting up in bed so......this post is coming via voice to text while lying in bed lol 😂 Back in December at work, under so much stress when performing my job duties, I hurt my foot. I don’t know exactly how both through under-staffing, neglect and stress, I walked on it weird or when moving around all day.
This post for a skin care routine for when you feel like utter shit.

Long story short, it's been awful. Rough, even. The days I called out, I'd lay in bed and sleep and day, and feel no better the next. I was able to get to the doctor through occupational medicine where she said it was plantar fasciitis as well as some serious inflammation. My foot now often swells around the ankle with the pain and now I’ve developed the same excruciating pain in my other foot. I joke that I live in “hobbleton” and then I’m ready for a walker with a tennis balls on the bottom.
Thankfully, I was able to work on light duty for a bit; it took time for the pain to subside. For the first couple days, it was excruciating. January was a bit better. Per doctors orders, I worked on a modified duty where I would do my regular job in the morning until lunch and after lunch, worked a light duty—very fun! My boss could see that I was actually hurting; his behaviour changed once he learned that I have plantar fasciitis (something that he suffers with too), but I was making do, despite pain. For reference (prior to this shenanigans), I walk around 15k to 19k steps, while in the building, at work. There were a few days I did 20 and 22k, while it rained hard, walking in between our work area and the back room, and outside.
Some time has passed; yesterday was my first day back performing my full job duties. The doctor wants to see how I do or the next two weeks and go from there. Honestly, I feel like I’ve went back prematurely because this is bad (worse). My achilles is aching now, especially after I sit down and relax, and the moment I stand from a sitting position, it stings!
Now on the last day of February as I sit in bed and darkness talking to my phone I stretch them after a long hot shower I feel the pain right now cry doesn’t hurt so much because I’m beginning to relax. Today I did over 18k steps, Yesterday was some 16k steps.

A "Work Has Sucked The Soul Out Of Me So I'm Always Mentally and Emotionally Drained" Skincare Routine
1:11 PM
Hello all! It's been a hot minute. As the title reads, work literally sucks the soul out of me so I am generally in a state of physical, mental and emotional depletion (including creative energy). Usually I'm just so...exhausted....and it takes a lot of willpower to stay alive.
While I'm employed and y'know, gettin' that coin, I know my value and the worth of my skill set--I've always been seeking other work outside of retail but nothing has ever eventuated. I want future employers to see this; I know the pool of applicants are just too vast, but something has to give! I know I should be making more per hour; I have bills and I want to do things in my life (that require money). This is what also wears me out, because I feel stuck, lost, and underappreciated.

Over the past couple of months, despite switching a couple of products here and there (excluding ones I had been testing for those 0.8L reviews), I think I've finally managed to narrow down a solid routine with products that actually show results.
I'd thought I'd now share my current routine which includes products that I like, and either have repurchased or plan to repurchase. My routine is kind of short and should include a few more items, but generally I'm living in a constant state of tiredness, so this is enough for now.
