Good Jeans

Raise your hand if you're wearing jeans. OK, now raise your hand if you've worn jeans in the last week. Turns out, you're in good company. Anthropologists estimate half the world's population wears jeans on any given day. Excuse us while we change out of our sweats.

If you’re looking for your new faves, meet Revtown. Their premium pairs are flattering, durable, and made of Italian-milled denim with built-in stretch. So they’re comfy, too. Plus their designers use real, everyday women (instead of “industry standard” models) to create their fits. And four new styles launch (drumroll, please) today. Don’t miss ‘em. These are the kinda jeans you’ll wanna wear every day.

A brain. An athlete. An outcast. A beauty. A criminal. It might sound like we’re describing a certain ‘80s cult classic. But we’re actually talking about the latest Peacock Original show. Meet...

“One of Us Is Lying”

It’s...an addictive murder mystery about five high school students who wind up in detention. Spoiler alert: Only four make it out alive. 

And...it’s based on a #1 NYT bestseller with tons of coming-of-age drama, twists, and turns.

Plus...every single character is a suspect. And they've all got something to hide. 

Btw, “One of Us Is Lying” is streaming now on Peacock. Serious suspense, coming right up.

If you love spooky season, meet "The October Effect." Aka the perception that stock prices are destined to fall this month. That's because some big market crashes have happened in past Octobers. Read more about whether this Wall Street superstition is just a bunch of hocus pocus or worth your attention. And get our tips on what to do with your investments when the market drops.

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

1. Sneaks so comfy, they’ll be the only shoes you wear this fall. You heard it here first. These cult-fave kicks are finally back in stock. In pumpkin-patch-friendly styles. Think: grey suede, camel suede, and off-white canvas. They’re never discounted. But Skimm’rs get a special offer.*

2. The only menu item that matters right now. We mean Panera Bread’s brand-new grilled mac and cheese sandwich. It’s the perfect combo of...you guessed it...their classic grilled cheese and creamy mac, on freshly baked bread. Yes, really. Sweet dreams are made of cheese.*

3. A podcast to help you live your best financial life. And learn from others who are already doing it. Fidelity’s new pod includes stories from people who navigated life’s trickiest money issues. And survived (and thrived) to tell their tale. Talk about inspo. Tune in.*

4. Melatonin gummies to help you regulate your snooze cycle. If you've been struggling to fall asleep, these gummies work to get you back on track. They're made with a blend of lavender, chamomile, lemon balm, and valerian root. Psst...we've also tried them and didn't experience any next-day grogginess.

5. Toothpaste tablets that'll polish and strengthen your teeth without creating extra waste. The container is reusable, so once you go through them, you can order refills in compostable paper pouches. The tablets contain fluoride and are FDA-approved. You can try 'em as a one-time purchase or sign up for a subscription.
