Daily Skimm: I'm still Jenny from the block

Your upstairs neighbor isn’t the only one moonlighting. Turns out, your body is too. While you’re catching up on some (much-needed) Zzz’s, it’s working hard. Releasing proteins that help fight off inflammation and infection and lowering your levels of cortisol, aka the stress hormone. So you can actually rest easy.

Something else that puts in the work while you sleep? Hero’s award-winning Mighty Patch. It’s designed to flatten and de-gunkify pesky zits overnight. Sans popping or toothpaste. Just place it over your blemish(es) before bed and let it do its thang. PS: Skimm’rs get 20% off with code JULYSKIMM. Mighty night.

Today, theSkimm turns 10. In the past decade, we’ve grown — and grown up — with you. And we remain committed to helping you navigate every challenge that’s thrown our way. Check out reflections from our co-founders and co-CEOs on the past 10 years and how we can continue to show up and show out moving forward. Because while the stakes are high, together we can stay informed, feel empowered, and live smarter.

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

1. Wise words from Pinky Patel. When it comes to confronting misinformation, the clap-back queen slash comedian has a few ideas. Together with our friends at Pfizer, we got her to give us the lowdown. Peep the vid.*

2. A guide to making cents of your finances. Gaby Dunn’s “Stimulus Wreck” is all about surviving today’s economy and rebounding from financial disaster — available exclusively in one of the world’s largest digital libraries. Psst…Skimm’rs can access millions of titles with a 60-day free trial.*

3. An on-the-go sweet treat that doubles as a probiotic. Calling all “hot girls with IBS.” BelliWelli’s low-FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free bars are delish and loaded with gut-friendly stuff (think: fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics). PS: Skimm’rs get 20% off plus free shipping on 2+ boxes.*

4. Multifunctional kitchen tools that’ll get the job done. Drawer space is precious, so fill your kitchen with our finds that do double duty. From a colander that also scoops to an all-in-one breakfast sandwich maker.

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.

Strength in numbers…Rachel H (MN) & Keneisha B (NJ). They both connected through our Skimm’rs section and now have partnered up to launch their podcast on finding personal and professional harmony. Meet, “Mindset of a Mom, Minority and MD.”

If you haven’t heard of “Where the Crawdads Sing,” you might be living under a rock…or in a marsh. In our recent video, actress Daisy Edgar-Jones tells us about the film adaptation — from learning TSwift wrote a song for the film to working with Reese Witherspoon and filming in marshlands.
