Running-in-heels relief

Traipsing back and forth in heels to LG Fashion Week in Toronto to cover backstage beauty every day has not been kind to my feet, and I really wish I’d had the foresight to order Tiny Tspheres to soothe my suffering soles.

These aromatherapy-infused balls  (a fave of many celebs including Brooke Shields) are made of an organic rubber compound and are the brainchild of Stephanie Whittier, a professional massage therapist. Pep Up Mint Tiny Tspheres, a smaller version of the original, are the perfect size for rolling relief back into tired feet and are infused with a refreshing peppermint essential oil.

Alas, I didn’t have the foresight this Fashion Week, but at least I was able to get my tired, tender feet over to The Ten Spot yesterday evening for a pedi (I love the Cheeky Monkey nail polish shade I got, a bright cherry red named Nail Me.

Beauty & the East: The Ten Spot

This week, Health & Swellness is spotlighting some of the get-gorgeous hot spots in Leslieville. This east-end Toronto ‘hood is best known for its brunch, bakeries and coffee shops, but a girl cannot get by solely on caffeine and cupcakes alone, and, thankfully, a few beauty shops have started to crop up, too.

Who: The Ten Spot

What: Manis and pedis (choose from OPI or Spa Ritual nail polishes), 45-minute Dermalogica facials, waxing, tinting and for gents, some manscaping. 

Why: Sure, there are plenty of great brunch spots in Leslieville, but where else can you catch up with a girlfriend over brunch and Brazilians? For $60, dig into continental brunch and bevies with your besties before having your muff tended to. (And don’t worry, you get your own private room for the Brazilian.)

When: Open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day

Where: 1402 Queen St. East, Studio D1; 416-915-1010
