From last-minute shopping to wrapping presents, Christmas can be busy! Remember to give your legs a break—elevating them for even 10–15 minutes helps reduce swelling and fatigue. A little self-care goes a long way this season. 🎄💖

Winter is the perfect season for compression stockings! They fit seamlessly under layers, keep your legs warm, and provide essential support for circulation during busy holiday activities.

Even in the winter, staying hydrated is crucial for vein health! Dry air and cold weather can dehydrate you without you realizing it. Keep a water bottle handy, even when it’s chilly outside, to support circulation year-round.

Holiday stress can impact your overall health—including your veins. Take time for relaxation, whether it’s a quiet cup of tea, a short walk outside, or putting your feet up after a long day. Your body (and veins) will thank you.
