Today’s Innisfil Santa Claus Parade filled our hearts right up. 💙❄️
Thank you to my helpers who braved the cold today, I’m so grateful for your time, energy, and support.

A very special thank you to my husband, who finished a long shift and still suited up in the giant foot costume with a smile. That’s love (and a little bit of chaos). 👣💙

Thank you to Innisfil Community Events Corporation for organizing such a beautiful community event.
Cold hands, warm hearts…that’s Innisfil. ✨nursechantal

The Science Behind “You’ll Catch a Cold Without a Jacket”

Myth:
“You’ll catch a cold if you go out without a jacket.”
— Every grandma, ever.

Fact:
You can’t catch a cold from being cold … you catch a cold from a virus (most commonly rhinovirus or coronavirus). These spread through droplets when someone sneezes, coughs, or touches shared surfaces.

However, cold weather can increase your risk of getting sick indirectly:
• Viral survival: Cold, dry air helps viruses stay alive and travel farther.
• Indoor crowding: We spend more time indoors in winter, making transmission easier.
• Immune suppression: When you’re cold, your body diverts energy toward maintaining core temperature. Blood flow (and immune response) in your nasal passages and airways may decrease giving viruses a better chance to take hold.

So your grandparents weren’t totally wrong …they just didn’t have the microbiology to back it up!

In short:
You don’t get sick from the cold, but the cold can make it easier for a virus to win.
Bundle up for comfort, not contagion

🍁 Fall Nail Health Giveaway!

Enter to win a DaniPro Nail Polish in a gorgeous autumn shade 🌰🍂
( Retail value: $25.00 CAD)

This isn’t your average polish, it’s a medical-grade formula developed by a podiatrist for healthier nails. As a foot care nurse, I love DaniPro because it’s beautiful, breathable, and beneficial for your nails.

Why choose medical-grade polish like DaniPro?
• Free from harsh chemicals (no formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP)
• Infused with biotin, vitamins, and antifungal agents to support stronger nails
• Gentler on damaged, diabetic, or post-fungal nails
• Ideal for clients who wear polish often, it helps protect instead of suffocating the nail plate

💙 Who should seriously consider using it:
• Anyone recovering from nail fungus or thickened nails
• Clients with diabetes or circulation issues
• Those prone to brittle, peeling, or discoloured nails
• People who want to maintain healthy nails while still enjoying colour

It’s surprising (and honestly a bit sobering) to see how even moderate drinking can increase the risk of several cancers and affect mood, energy, and overall stability more than most people realize.

Your Feet Remember Everything!

Your feet remember every place you’ve been, the long shifts, the vacations, the moments you ran to help someone, and the days you just made it through.

They deserve care that’s more than cosmetic they deserve respect.

💙 Check them daily.
💙 Keep them moisturized.
💙 Never ignore pain or pressure spots.
💙 Choose comfort over fashion when it counts.

You can’t pour from an empty cup or walk on unhappy feet.

Healthy feet carry healthy lives.
