I appreciate so much Allana and Dejans mindset of things! from not spending an exorbitant amount of money on a wedding to caring about thiings like food waste and sustainability to allana's mindset on over-consumerism. What a breath of fucking fresh air man.
I was going to comment before you even started talking about the paleness….your natural skintone is STUNNING 😍 I think it makes you look so elegant. I’ve always been self tanner-obsessed but after seeing you not self tanned this winter, you’ve inspired me to stop & embrace my natural skintone, as it’s actually identical to yours, so thank you❤
Oh my gosh I could relate so much to that feeling of frustration and disappointment when something unexpected derails you. I love gym, love getting out for my walks each day and it’s huge for my mental health but my immune system is pretty weak, and I often end up with a cold that can knock me out for like 5 to 7 days sometimes even longer. I’m pretty prone to ear infections and respiratory infections too, and so sometimes they kick on for like three weeks. And that just really messes up your condition, and when you go back to the gym, it’s so much harder to get back to that level of fitness and routine that you were at! I have cried to my husband about this as well, so I totally understand that feeling and validate it. It’s so hard when you get interrupted in the middle of your goals and sent back to square one. Sending so much healing energy to your toe and renewed motivation and fitness for when you’re able to get back on hot girl winter!
As someone who requires a mobility aid to walk and is currently bedridden by a pain flare up, the end of this video is so so so relatable and makes me feel so seen. Thank you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

So sorry this happened to you 💕 In my experience, these things often happen when life is too hectic and I’m not taking enough time to take care of this vessel carrying me through life. As if being forced out of autopilot and back into my body. I hope it heals fast. Take care of yourself x
Awe. So sorry about your toe. I started the year off so good and so much positive energy and then bam…3 weeks of cold, sinus infections and another cold. It’s my bday today and I’m starting off strong this month with my first workout. I’m hoping to stay healthy with no injuries and take pleasure in being blessed to move my body and gratitude for taking care of myself the way I want too. Some times life literally makes you stop….just use that opportunity to grow in a different way and humble yourself…I know I definitely needed it. Can’t take for granted being healthy and strong. Speedy recovery Allana 💗
I love the psycho energy of you outside with your bucket of compost in a robe with your hair in curlers and your feet in those wild crocs - laughed so hard!!
Love the dress, and love the Amazon earrings to a Tiffany event. I so understand the throbbing pain that is a toe nail injury - probably one of the worst pains ever. I hope that it heals quickly!
Girl get your toe looked at! I work in a Canadian hospital so I totally get not wanting to wait. Broken bones are not considered an emergency. The best place to go for issues like broken bones would be an urgent care if you have one near you. Hope it feels better ❤
I really relate to the feeling of frustration when you are feeling good in your routine and being so proactive and productive and then something happens out of your control and just throws it off, it’s the worst! Sometimes it gets me down and makes me feel like I may as well not even try, but I just remind myself that even when I can’t be consistent, I’m still doing the right thing by my mind and body overall. Hope your toe is feeling better!
We’re here for you! Love yah and I hope toegate recovers soon so you can feel better ❤ also you yelling “Be fertilized” in your robe, with your curl rollers and crocs had me rolling! 😂
Girl I feel ya. You have toegate holding you back. I have vertigo, two days before my birthday. There’s just nothing I can do and also derailed my HGW that was going hard and strong! I’m so sorry. I also have an autoimmune disease that likes to cripple me periodically and I cant walk….so yeah I get it and you’re so right. We take it for granted when our bodies are functioning and happy and healthy. It’s a huge reminder to have empathy for people who are going through this daily, for life. I hope you feel 100% real soon and get your groove back without too much struggle!
So sorry you got injured😟. Only a person having an injury that’s similar can understand the amount of pain you are experiencing. Hope you are able to see a doctor and recover quickly. Especially hope you are no longer suffering with the pain 🤗❤️.
I think that the long wait at the ER is a universal thing. I once went a week with a broken bone in my hand before going to the ER. The waiting got to me more than the pain in my hand. You look gorgeous in that stunning black dress👌🏾! When you were trying on that beautiful necklace the only thing that popped up in my head was Pretty Woman! I hope that your toe is feeling better and you have seen a doctor. 💕
I had a similar pinky toe experience a couple years ago and it completely ruined my mood for about a week lol. Don’t apologize for feeling bummed sometimes it happens to everyone! Sending good healing vibes for your toe 🙏🏼
this last section of the vlog helped me so much. i injured both my hands 5 weeks ago, so the year started with needing assistance with everything. one hand is fine by now, but the other one is entirely unusable and i still cant do much, not even put on shoes. i miss working out, chores, doing anything without being in pain, i hate having to rest so much etc and it really triggered my depression, too, which had become so much better... so thank you for sharing
Ugh so true about the mental toll 😢😢 I’m so sorry to hear about your hands!! Nothing is worse than the feeling of not being able to care for yourself. All my love to you and hoping for recovery ASAP!! ❤❤✨✨
The compost machine! That black dress! Your lovely pale skin! Too many beautiful things in this video to mention them all & so sorry about your toe 😭😭 hoping for a very speedy recovery for you so that you can pick right back up where you left off with the amazing HGW energy and disciplines!
As a former ballet dancer, I totally empathise with how mad the intensity of the pain from a sore toe is 😂. I had to miss school one day for a toe injury and it felt so ridiculous, as you said!
Girl Instant Angel changed my life!! Tip to avoid the “splooge” is to tap it upside down on the counter before opening, aluminum bottles are so annoying but that helps a lot! 😊
I think the only thing besides time to help your toe is having a little hole poked in the nail to let the blood escape. It will release the pressure and should feel so much better. I hope you feel better soon. What a great thing for your food waste! I am going to have to look into this!
Interstellar makes me weep every time. Also just finished listening to Verity from your book list, such a pivot at the end holy smokes. Hope you get your leg day in soon girl !! Xx.
To prevent metal tubes from oozing you need to pinch the tube on both sides up near the opening and it creates a suck back and the tube will no longer ooze BUT you must do this before you open the tube for the first time. Hope this helps you in the future.
You can also tap the bottom on the counter when the lid is open to bop the product back down! The founder Charlotte does some tips and tricks for the oozing on their page! 😊
Love Instant angel and have to do the bottom tapping cos I live in high elevation so it comes rushing out if I forget to do that! But love that you can recycle the packaging so it’s worth it.
You will survive. You will come back stronger. You WILL get your leg day in ... and although in pain and feeling a little down, you still look beautiful. So there's that. Wishing you a speedy heal.
I totally get your frustration over your toe. I broke my wrist in a freak accident in the gym 3 months ago and it's been f*cking with my life ever since. I had to have surgery on it because it didn't heal right and it's been one thing after another since then. I just want it to be over with so I can get on with life!
Alla I live in Poland, travelling all over the world and recently boight YOUR picante in.. Bangkok… you have no idea how best of a blush it is for me - use it literally everyday - it enhances my olivie skin tone, it makes me awake and it goes witb everything. Seeing you use the blush today recalled me myself in front of the mirror with… picahte!!!! ❤🧡 toes crossed for your toe!!!!
5:39 the aquis towel! Not the turban, the long rectangular towel! It’ll let you do the top of head wrap out of the shower but it’s lighter than a bath towel and more absorbent ❤
Thanks for a fantastic vlog. Even with a broken toe 😢you looked amazing at event if that helps. I have the weird bald patch on one of my cheeks too! …and I broke my ankle 5 months ago so I can totally relate to your frustration. Keep smiling Alana 🙌🏼
I’m sorry about yur toe. I recently hurt mine, and I am loosing the nail on it, so I 💯 understand feeling silly about it and how something so little can hurt so much 😅 I hope it’s getting better, sending you hugs. ❤
Sorry about your toe!! I've been there myself, its no joke!! Take care of yourself and I hope it heals quickly 💙 Love the 4 pic thumbnail on the video btw 😍
Hi Lan :) hope u are feeling better rn.. I totally get your point. I got a teeth removed last week and could not workout for a week and I was missing it so much, because not only its good for my phisical but mental health. Don't force yourself because that is not going to help at all.
Ok. I’ve seen some ads for food composting machines like this, but this definitely has me convinced. Great job! I will be looking into purchasing one of these in the coming months. Sincerely, a fellow Lower Mainland local, who also cares about food waste - in true West Coast style
Poking a tiny hole in the nail will alleviate the pain! I had to do it to my finger nail. I used a TINY nail with a pointy end and manual very slowly rotated the nail aka “drilled”down just enough until the blood got released. Let the nail do most of the work. I barely applied any pressure. It just took time. But It’s IMMEDIATE relieve if you can bring yourself to do it.
Girl I'm so sorry about your toe! I once had can of redbull fall out of my fridge right onto my toe 😱 the pain and throbbing is insane!!! Hope it feels better very soon 🤞
Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago with a hydro flask🥴 My tip is to give yourself a black pedi! Does nothing for the physical pain but helps with the look of it. Initially I painted on a happy face to my bear toe and named it Wilson so I wouldn’t continue crying everything I looked at it😂 But after I did the black nail polish it just looked better. Now I’m just waiting for the nail to fall off😬 Hope you recover quickly!
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We have toes to help us walk and balance. So it’s going to be difficult to move. It’s just a hiccup and you will be right again soon, continuing HGW, and it will be a distant memory soon. Interstellar is a top fave in our house! 🙌🏻 Love ya LAN 😘❤️❤️
When you clip your curls, put the clips in at the base, aka on the scalp so it secures the curl and they are less likely to fall out ❤ From a hairstylist
THE TOE THROBBING IS SO REAL. A few years ago I stubbed my toe so hard on my nightstand that I snapped it clean in half. I would have NEVER expected such a small little part of your body being SO PAINFUL. However, after it was taken care of (it had to be reset and put in a cast LOL), it healed and went back to normal and with no issues so there is hope for your little piggies!!
Omg and I totally forgot that in addition to the cast, I had to use crutches for a MONTH because I couldn’t put any weight on the foot. Like how embarrassing it is to be on crutches and in a cast and have to tell people it’s because I broke one of my little toes 😂
The leos of the world are having a hard time right now. My best friend (also leo) broke her ankle a couple of weeks ago😭, hang in there Allana. Hope its a fast recovery!
What's happened to your toe is terrible and the worst timing however how you respond to this situation is a valuable lesson. It's not going to ruin your results. You may not be able to do every single day of yoga but as long as you get back in track when your toe is better, that's the most important thing. If you just quit all together, bc of the toe that would be terrible. There are always going to be dramas in life that will happen at the worst time. Focus on how you respond. And behave. Not that fact it did a, b and c to your plans. ❤ You'll still smash your goals babe.
Girl! As a climber and runner I have broken ALL of my toes, and the pain is not to be underestimated. A tip- call your GP and ask for an emergency referral to a podiatrist (preferably a surgical one) vs going to the hospital because they won’t do anything anyways. Most can do x-rays in office and will take off the nail or puncture to release the hematoma if needed. It will get wayyyyy more painful if you leave it to heal naturally (trust me lol).
I hope you can get to a doc to put a little pin hole in your toe nail to relieve the pressure. I hear it's the pressure of the build up of blood that causes the pain. Poor girl! Get better soon.
sorry to hear about your toe incident, get well soon 🥲 and also may I ask what is the lip combo you are currently using? I know you have mentioned anywhere caffeine (Makeup Forever) and Charlotte tilbury but which lipstick did you use with it? it looks good on you 😍
Allana, have you ever tried, or considered doing a chemical peel I get them twice a year, they do wonders for skin texture, acne/sun spots, etc. might be something that will help with your bald spots on your cheeks? Just a thought.❤❤❤❤❤
Dang girl, I know that pain 😢. Thank you for sharing the ugly turn your weekend had. Loved the makeup look and your dress was perfect for trying on jewelry! I have been on the fence about Saltburn, however after your review, I may check it out.
Ohhh bummerrr!!! Just go from where you left of it’s frustrating but you’ll be fine ❤You are always so entertaining with or without toe gate 😅love your vlogs so much ❤ yesss thank goodness someone liked salt burn without saying it was Ick lol
I have an electric composter and it is a game changer! We have so little garbage now, I had no idea how much in my trash can was food scraps. No odours, no fruit flies, my trash bag is “clean waste” only now. I used to rely on garbage pickup weekly, now I only roll my big bin out to the curb once a month, twice at the most. Just not making enough trash to need to. And I get compost out of the deal. It’s really great and so worth the small investment.
I have had a blister on my heel that was debilitating!!! Foot injuries are no joke!!! I know they feel superficial mentally, they don’t physically. Don’t beat yourself up too much.
I relate so much to the towel thing. I tried. I saw many videos and advice on "don't do that to your hair and use an old t-shirt". Guys... I... just can't.
A little cheat code for getting into the emergency room fast/cutting the line in Canada without going in an ambulance is going to a walk in clinic and having them write you a doctors note to go to the ER. I had excruciating pain in my throat two years ago to the point where I couldn’t swallow my own saliva without being in tears and I finally after 3 days went to the walk in clinic waited maybe 20 minutes and the doctor looked at my throat for 2.2 seconds and said you need to go to the emergency room and she wrote me a note so when I checked into the ER I bypassed like 15-20 people and I was the next person called in. I was still there for 5 hours because of the tests and inconclusive results/opinions but I went in at like 1pm and I was home with a diagnosis, meds, and a referral to an ENT doctor with an appointment scheduled for the following week by 7pm.
Allana! I had the same after a stupid football match, I did go to the doctor because I couldn’t walk and had to miss class. It wasnt a proper fracture but something was wrong, I just needed to tape it in a specific way and that relieved the pain so much. I just had to skip sports for a couple of weeks
Hi!! I have been a loyal subscriber for many years and still love watching all your videos - thank you for all the hours of joy and entertainment!! I am on the lookout for a new lipgloss and I absolutely loved the Bite Beauty Lush Fruit in Currant (RIP 😢) thanks to your mutual love and recommendation! I wondered if you ever found a dupe?! Please let me know!! Thank you 🫶
In 8th grade a piece of wood fell on my toe and the tip of it was chopped off and barely hanging on! I got it stitched back on but wow that was so painful!!!! Walking was so difficult and I had to hobble across the stage at my graduation lol such a tragic time
GIRL TOE PAIN is on another level with the amount of nerve endings. I lose my big toe nails every year after skiing, and it is the most excruciating pain. So I puncture the nails with the hot needle afterward and it is the ONLY solution.
Toegate!!! A month ago a dropped a cast iron pan on my toe and I died. And then a couple days ago I dropped a glass jar of bath salts on the SAME (not healed yet) toe and it was the most pain I've ever been in. Flipflops only for the rest of winter.
I dropped an eight pound weight on my toe several years ago and omg. It was my second smallest toe, I dropped to the ground, started sweating, and felt like I was going to throw up. Couldn’t walk for several days and it continued to hurt for months. Never went to the doc bc I kept being told they wouldn’t really be able to do anything if it was broken. So I feel your pain and frustration!
Allana, what if you tried a walk-in clinic for your toe? I don’t know what B.C. protocol is but I’m a fellow Canadian and I think they could order an X-Ray so you could at least hop over to a lab and find out? You’d probably have to make a follow up plan whilst at walk in, but it’s an idea. Hope it feels better soon. I, too, have dropped something heavy on my toe and can confirm it’s some of the worst pain I’ve ever had. It was my dad’s 2002 laptop. She was a hefty one.
So there are x-ray clinics like Westcoast Medical Imaging that do x-rays on a walk-in basis. If you can get to a doctor and get a requisition you can go to get an X-ray done same day. Alternatively, I think another viewer mentioned urgent care centre instead of the hospital emergency department. If you are still in that much pain it’s probably a good idea to get checked out. Good luck! ❤
I’m SO sorry for going a bit off topic but I must ask… I had no idea you’ve had appendix issues in the past. did you have a removal surgery? I had to have a emergency appendectomy june last year and I’ve been so bothered by the scar ever since 😭
I have had a black nail on my big toe since last October. I love to keep my toes painted, but that is a no go until this nail falls off or grows out. There are too many horror stories of dealing with fungal nail. I feel your pain, rather I felt something similar to your pain. The growing out process has been very slow going. My toe throbbed for a week. I didn't break anything, but my nail was injured all the way to the very bottom of the nail bed. It just looks like a nightmare though it doesn't hurt. It's a good time to focus on the abs, back and arms. Heal well!
The hardest part of toe and finger injuries is there is not a ton that doctors can do anyways. Unless you need surgery it’s very tape your toe next to your other one and rest. You cold order a little foot thing that has a ton of cushion on the underside. I’m also injured this time of year (but with my back) and it totally sucks because I wanted to start the new year fresh and motivated to get into the gym! Trying to think that maybe what my body needs is to relax and be taken care of this time of year. Also focusing on breathing, regulating emotions, nutritious food. Work on what you can and not stress over what you cannot control! Easier said then down lol
Oh Lan! Toe pain is no joke! Sometimes it's the smallest parts of the bod that have the gnarliest pain. I get RSI in my wrist and a bit of arthritis in my finger and frickin OUCH.
Allana… you being outside in a robe, crocks and your hair in curlers and saying “be fertilized dear planting”- that’s a whole moment. 😂
my actual fav bit of the whole video 😆
I was gonna mention this! 😂😂
I laughed out loud 😂
Hahaha it’s the only way to garden imo 😂😅
Beat me to it. Hilarious!!!
I appreciate so much Allana and Dejans mindset of things! from not spending an exorbitant amount of money on a wedding to caring about thiings like food waste and sustainability to allana's mindset on over-consumerism. What a breath of fucking fresh air man.

Oooof the toe pain girl, I feel you. Just had a bunyon surgery and it’s shocking how such a small part of the body is so incapacitating!
Poking a tiny hole in the nail will alleviate the pain! I had to do it to my finger nail. I used a TINY nail with a pointy end and manual very slowly rotated the nail aka “drilled”down just enough until the blood got released. Let the nail do most of the work.

Darn your poor toe 😮
Love that you are so real! Gentle with yourself 😊
Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago with a hydro flask🥴
My tip is to give yourself a black pedi! Does nothing for the physical pain but helps with the look of it.
Initially I painted on a happy face to my bear toe and named it Wilson so I wouldn’t continue crying everything I looked at it😂
But after I did the black nail polish it just looked better.
Now I’m just waiting for the nail to fall off😬
Hope you recover quickly!
Hair routine ! I wanna know about those rollers and the technique !
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We have toes to help us walk and balance. So it’s going to be difficult to move. It’s just a hiccup and you will be right again soon, continuing HGW, and it will be a distant memory soon. Interstellar is a top fave in our house! 🙌🏻 Love ya LAN 😘❤️❤️
When you clip your curls, put the clips in at the base, aka on the scalp so it secures the curl and they are less likely to fall out ❤ From a hairstylist
THE TOE THROBBING IS SO REAL. A few years ago I stubbed my toe so hard on my nightstand that I snapped it clean in half. I would have NEVER expected such a small little part of your body being SO PAINFUL. However, after it was taken care of (it had to be reset and put in a cast LOL), it healed and went back to normal and with no issues so there is hope for your little piggies!!
Omg and I totally forgot that in addition to the cast, I had to use crutches for a MONTH because I couldn’t put any weight on the foot. Like how embarrassing it is to be on crutches and in a cast and have to tell people it’s because I broke one of my little toes 😂
Not the crutches too omg 😅😅😅😅 you poor thing!! We will NEVER underestimate toe pain ever again 😭😂🫶🏻🫶🏻
Your quads were POPPIN in your coat and shorts, stoppppp I'm so jealous!!!
The leos of the world are having a hard time right now. My best friend (also leo) broke her ankle a couple of weeks ago😭, hang in there Allana. Hope its a fast recovery!
Interstellar is soo good. I hope your foot heals fast 💛
What's happened to your toe is terrible and the worst timing however how you respond to this situation is a valuable lesson. It's not going to ruin your results. You may not be able to do every single day of yoga but as long as you get back in track when your toe is better, that's the most important thing. If you just quit all together, bc of the toe that would be terrible. There are always going to be dramas in life that will happen at the worst time. Focus on how you respond. And behave. Not that fact it did a, b and c to your plans. ❤ You'll still smash your goals babe.
Appreciate you❤ thank you
Allana, you looked simply divine for the Tiffany event, wet hair and all 😂😂❤❤
Girl! As a climber and runner I have broken ALL of my toes, and the pain is not to be underestimated. A tip- call your GP and ask for an emergency referral to a podiatrist (preferably a surgical one) vs going to the hospital because they won’t do anything anyways. Most can do x-rays in office and will take off the nail or puncture to release the hematoma if needed. It will get wayyyyy more painful if you leave it to heal naturally (trust me lol).
what brush do you use to apply your foundations? it goes on flawless!❤❤
I hope you can get to a doc to put a little pin hole in your toe nail to relieve the pressure. I hear it's the pressure of the build up of blood that causes the pain. Poor girl! Get better soon.
loving the yoga!! which yoga workout do you follow?
The hair is soooo Seventies. Love it.
ahahahaha - when I saw the toegate hashtag, I expected it would be some drama concerning workout bottoms
Hahahha I didn’t even consider that, amazing 😂😂
ME TOO 🤣
Hope you feel better soon!! ❤
sorry to hear about your toe incident, get well soon 🥲 and also may I ask what is the lip combo you are currently using? I know you have mentioned anywhere caffeine (Makeup Forever) and Charlotte tilbury but which lipstick did you use with it? it looks good on you 😍
Allana, have you ever tried, or considered doing a chemical peel I get them twice a year, they do wonders for skin texture, acne/sun spots, etc. might be something that will help with your bald spots on your cheeks? Just a thought.❤❤❤❤❤
Dang girl, I know that pain 😢. Thank you for sharing the ugly turn your weekend had. Loved the makeup look and your dress was perfect for trying on jewelry! I have been on the fence about Saltburn, however after your review, I may check it out.
Completely understand your toe frustration. I did one apperentl wrong movement and now my back is hurting since weeks and I cannot do any workouts…
Im really digging the darker nails!
Ohhh bummerrr!!! Just go from where you left of it’s frustrating but you’ll be fine ❤You are always so entertaining with or without toe gate 😅love your vlogs so much ❤ yesss thank goodness someone liked salt burn without saying it was Ick lol
Would you take us along for your weekly meal prep? I'd love to see what works well for you guys--totally feeling stuck and overwhelmed with mine.
I have an electric composter and it is a game changer! We have so little garbage now, I had no idea how much in my trash can was food scraps. No odours, no fruit flies, my trash bag is “clean waste” only now. I used to rely on garbage pickup weekly, now I only roll my big bin out to the curb once a month, twice at the most. Just not making enough trash to need to. And I get compost out of the deal. It’s really great and so worth the small investment.
Cool 😎
I have had a blister on my heel that was debilitating!!! Foot injuries are no joke!!! I know they feel superficial mentally, they don’t physically. Don’t beat yourself up too much.
Get better Allana! You will be fine! ❤
I love the taste of athletic greens!!
I relate so much to the towel thing. I tried. I saw many videos and advice on "don't do that to your hair and use an old t-shirt". Guys... I... just can't.
A little cheat code for getting into the emergency room fast/cutting the line in Canada without going in an ambulance is going to a walk in clinic and having them write you a doctors note to go to the ER. I had excruciating pain in my throat two years ago to the point where I couldn’t swallow my own saliva without being in tears and I finally after 3 days went to the walk in clinic waited maybe 20 minutes and the doctor looked at my throat for 2.2 seconds and said you need to go to the emergency room and she wrote me a note so when I checked into the ER I bypassed like 15-20 people and I was the next person called in. I was still there for 5 hours because of the tests and inconclusive results/opinions but I went in at like 1pm and I was home with a diagnosis, meds, and a referral to an ENT doctor with an appointment scheduled for the following week by 7pm.
Allana! I had the same after a stupid football match, I did go to the doctor because I couldn’t walk and had to miss class. It wasnt a proper fracture but something was wrong, I just needed to tape it in a specific way and that relieved the pain so much. I just had to skip sports for a couple of weeks
girl, just get the crown hair towel - it's chef's kiss
😂 love the gardening cheer!
Hi!!
I have been a loyal subscriber for many years and still love watching all your videos - thank you for all the hours of joy and entertainment!!
I am on the lookout for a new lipgloss and I absolutely loved the Bite Beauty Lush Fruit in Currant (RIP 😢) thanks to your mutual love and recommendation! I wondered if you ever found a dupe?! Please let me know!! Thank you 🫶
I hope you feel better soon. I get it. I stoked a bottle of perfume on my foot and I fractured it. 😩 ❤❤
In 8th grade a piece of wood fell on my toe and the tip of it was chopped off and barely hanging on! I got it stitched back on but wow that was so painful!!!! Walking was so difficult and I had to hobble across the stage at my graduation lol such a tragic time
Before you open the Dieux package, tap the bottle on its bottom edge so the product goes back and then pierce it open.
I love how you wore your amazon earrings with that Tiffany necklace 😂❤
lol the Canadian ER horror stories 😭😭Most of my friends who had to run to the ER there waited more than 8 hours.
GIRL TOE PAIN is on another level with the amount of nerve endings. I lose my big toe nails every year after skiing, and it is the most excruciating pain. So I puncture the nails with the hot needle afterward and it is the ONLY solution.
Oh and unfortunately, your nail will fall off in a month or so and it takes 8+ months to grow back fully. Open toed shoes are less cute lol
Toegate!!! A month ago a dropped a cast iron pan on my toe and I died. And then a couple days ago I dropped a glass jar of bath salts on the SAME (not healed yet) toe and it was the most pain I've ever been in. Flipflops only for the rest of winter.
NO NOOOOO OMG NOT THE SAME SPOT 😭😭😭😭😭 you poor thing ah my butt just inverted thinking of the feeling 😂😂😭😭 sending you all of my love!!! ❤❤❤❤
I dropped an eight pound weight on my toe several years ago and omg. It was my second smallest toe, I dropped to the ground, started sweating, and felt like I was going to throw up. Couldn’t walk for several days and it continued to hurt for months. Never went to the doc bc I kept being told they wouldn’t really be able to do anything if it was broken. So I feel your pain and frustration!
Also, can we talk about the tie dye?? So cute!!!
Allana, what if you tried a walk-in clinic for your toe? I don’t know what B.C. protocol is but I’m a fellow Canadian and I think they could order an X-Ray so you could at least hop over to a lab and find out? You’d probably have to make a follow up plan whilst at walk in, but it’s an idea. Hope it feels better soon. I, too, have dropped something heavy on my toe and can confirm it’s some of the worst pain I’ve ever had. It was my dad’s 2002 laptop. She was a hefty one.
I was just about to recommend the Dieux 🤣
So there are x-ray clinics like Westcoast Medical Imaging that do x-rays on a walk-in basis. If you can get to a doctor and get a requisition you can go to get an X-ray done same day. Alternatively, I think another viewer mentioned urgent care centre instead of the hospital emergency department. If you are still in that much pain it’s probably a good idea to get checked out. Good luck! ❤
Where are your leggings from? They look so comfy and cute!
You should definitely try a microfiber towel for your hair. I switched over years ago and I feel like it's nicer to my hair.
I’m SO sorry for going a bit off topic but I must ask… I had no idea you’ve had appendix issues in the past. did you have a removal surgery? I had to have a emergency appendectomy june last year and I’ve been so bothered by the scar ever since 😭
I do the same as you after I wash my hair but use a t-shirt instead of a towel which apparently is much ‘kinder’ to the hair and prevents breakage.
I'm with you on the berries, except I take out the blackberries cuz I can't stand them. Lol
I have had a black nail on my big toe since last October. I love to keep my toes painted, but that is a no go until this nail falls off or grows out. There are too many horror stories of dealing with fungal nail. I feel your pain, rather I felt something similar to your pain. The growing out process has been very slow going. My toe throbbed for a week. I didn't break anything, but my nail was injured all the way to the very bottom of the nail bed. It just looks like a nightmare though it doesn't hurt. It's a good time to focus on the abs, back and arms. Heal well!
The hardest part of toe and finger injuries is there is not a ton that doctors can do anyways. Unless you need surgery it’s very tape your toe next to your other one and rest. You cold order a little foot thing that has a ton of cushion on the underside. I’m also injured this time of year (but with my back) and it totally sucks because I wanted to start the new year fresh and motivated to get into the gym! Trying to think that maybe what my body needs is to relax and be taken care of this time of year. Also focusing on breathing, regulating emotions, nutritious food. Work on what you can and not stress over what you cannot control! Easier said then down lol
Oh Lan! Toe pain is no joke! Sometimes it's the smallest parts of the bod that have the gnarliest pain. I get RSI in my wrist and a bit of arthritis in my finger and frickin OUCH.
