“The numbers will never lie but I’m nobody’s favorite” — 50 Cent ahead of his next album. He's just giving his two cents, that's all.

The holiday season is well under way. Which probably means you’re gifting, gathering, and maaaybe even traveling. If you’d like some peace of mind as you get in the spirit, get to know On/Go. 

Their rapid COVID-19 antigen self-test (psst...that’s the kind that detects specific proteins from the virus) is designed to give you results in just minutes. Translation: On/Go lets you spend IRL time with loved ones — sans worry. Oh, and it connects with an app that allows you to track and share your test results. Grab a bunch to be positive you’re negative when it matters most.

We can’t believe it either, but the year is coming to a close — and we’re looking back at everything Skimm’rs bought the most in 2021. Revealing in 3,2,1…

• Your absolute favorite things of the year

• Problem-solving products you kept adding to cart

• The clothes and accessories Skimm'rs loved

• Your fave home org, decor, and cleaning products

Psst...check out all the rest of your faves here. Shop ’em now, thank us later.
