Hi Friends! I love to go barefoot and wear cheap flip flops in the summer. About two summers ago, I got a bad case of tendonitis in my left foot and had to get some physical therapy to get me walking enough to go on a trip I’d planned with my Girl Scouts for manyContinue reading “Wearing Sensible Shoes is a Must with Lipedema, Even if the Shoes are So Ugly They Make you Cry”

I’ve Bought Two of These Swing Tops with Lace…so far
I have now bought this in two colors for zoom days to pair with just some compression pants. On ‘fancy’ days, I pair them with a little scarf for fun. I’m 5’9″ and mine hits me mid thigh.

I’ve owned My BioFlect Leggings for One Hour, and I’m in Love.
I remember going to see the Nutcracker as a kid and having to dress up. My mom bought me some control top panty hose to wear with a dress to the event.
