Daily Skimm: I had been waiting so long to run free

Not-so-fun fact: Researchers have found pet food labels don’t always tell the truth. Some list ingredients that aren’t actually in the product. Others leave ingredients that are in the food off-label. Ruh-roh. 

Enter: The Farmer’s Dog. With their vet-developed recipes, what you see is what you get. We’re talking fresh, whole foods that can help your furry friend get all the nutrients they need. And not processed, dry, crunchy kibble. Btw, they’ll deliver the food to your door. In eco-friendly packaging. Plus, Skimm’rs get 50% off their first box. Muuuch better.

Here are today’s recs to help you live a smarter life…

1. An inspiring podcast ep about drive. Literally. In a very special episode of “9 to 5ish” Carly and Danielle talk networking, mentorship, and what it really takes to build a business with fan-fave skincare brand Glow Recipe’s co-founder, Christine Chang. Turn it up.*

2. Popcorn that’s unlike any popcorn you’ve had before. This brand individually wraps each of their kernels in a blanket of delicious flavor. And their Discovery Kit comes with a microwavable, dishwasher-safe popper. Plus seven different flavors. Think: Salted Umami, Cinnalicious, and Vanilla Cake Pop.*

3. Last-minute Mother's Day gifts to check out asap. The big day is Sunday, do you have something ready? If not, don't panic. We rounded up presents that'll ship fast and subscriptions you can gift down to the wire. Phew.

We like to celebrate the wins, big and small. Let us know how your friends, neighbors, coworkers (and yes, even you) are making career moves, checking off goals, or making an impact in the community.

Bold and beautiful…Kahindo M (NY). She created a clothing line inspired by her Congolese heritage. And each colorful, universally flattering piece is ethically produced by female artisans in Africa. PS: Skimm’rs get $30 off with code SKIMMR30. Sew cool.*
