Skimm Faves
Home decor items under $75 that’ll upgrade your space. It’s finally time to say goodbye to that ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ sign.
Smart products that’ll make working from home easier. You’ve been hunched over on the couch for way too long now. It’s time to improve (and beautify) your makeshift office.
What to buy if you’re new to plant parenthood. For when you’re thinking about expanding your leafy family. Our guide will take you from zero to ‘what, like it’s hard?’ in no time.
Face masks for every situation. Whether you’re working out, getting your hair done, or looking for something to wear on the subway, this list has your face covered (literally).
Celeb-approved, Insta-worthy kicks you’re seeing everywhere. These cult-fave, all-season sneaks are popular for a reason. Probably because they come in the comfiest low-top and slip-on styles. And are made with eco-friendly materials, btw. They’re also never on sale. But Skimm’rs get a special offer here.*
How to get that photo-ready smile, sans braces. Byte’s celebrating their very own Tooth Fairy Week. Which means Skimm’rs can get their Impression Kit for $14.85. Plus, you can enter for a chance to win $1,000 in cash or free aligners. Say cheese.*
Three totally random things we’re loving this week. These daisy hair clips, this sponge cloth pack, and these tea tree face masks.
Problem, Solved
If your couch currently smells like your furry four-legged friend, raise your hand. This soy wax candle to the rescue. It neutralizes unpleasant odors (like those from litter boxes), keeping your home smelling fresh and clean. It has a burn time of up to 60 hours and comes in a bunch of scents. Plus it’s free of dyes, parabens, and formaldehydes. Wet dog? Smell ya later.
Hot Off the Web
Movies on Netflix every woman needs to watch. Coming-of-age flicks, celebrations of friendship, thrillers, and more. Queue ’em up and consider your next girls’ night in planned.
9 Martha Stewart recipes you'll wanna add to your rotation. Because we'll have whatever she's having (especially if it's one-pan pasta).
Telltale signs that you've got too much stuff. It’s official: decluttered-girl fall > hot-girl summer.
40 gorgeous braid ideas for Black women. Get inspired for your newest look in three, two, one...
Store-bought dinner shortcuts to stock in your freezer. From delish Trader Joe's finds to Costco classics, here are the best options to save you in a pinch.
Fall nail-art designs to upgrade your next mani. Sweater weather + sweater nails = our new fave combo.
Talk soon,
