🍰 This Week: We Spun the Wheel. It Landed on Feet.

“

Please be quiet and stick your knuckles and thumbs where the sun don't shine."

— Lee

Hey cakers,

Remember the Wheel of Well-Being? We said we'd road test wellness stuff and report back. This week, we actually did.

(Albeit the wheel is from my daughters' Game of Life, because we can't afford paper plates and cocktail sticks. Yes, really.)

It landed on ... REFLEXOLOGY.

Paul went for a Thai foot massage (of course he did cus he has to be different), slept like a baby and found the tender spots on his feet matched his sore back and elbow. I had the real thing, from a therapist who chatted through the whole of my right foot. Not ideal.

Then came the big question: is your big toe actually wired to your sinuses? Is there decent science on whether a foot rub can still leave you calmer? Can it lower blood pressure and a heart rate that's slightly too panicked about everything.

Hear our verdict on the link below.
