Feet first into the sea – and feel the magic

I like my feet, they are quite petite. I like my feet because they allow me to step, hop and boogie. I like my feet because they flap about in wild abandon when in water, and they help to keep me afloat and propel me forward when I swim. I like my feet because they succumb to the sweetly painful prodding and yet wonderfully healing sessions of reflexology. I like to rub them better, alone in gratitude when I have moments of rest, smiling at the tiny secret mole I have on the left one where no one every sees it.

I have found a sumptuously, delightful foot cream that boasts of super powers thanks to my favourite element – the sea. Living Sea Therapy is a fascinating brand based in Cornwall, where they source the ingredients for their products via special deep sea diving and collecting methods that are 3,000 years old. They hand harvest in sea kelp forests and extract nutrients and Cornish sea salt minerals. It’s all so primordially satisfying, and it smells heavenly.
