“I just fell in love with him” — Emma Watson, remembering Tom Felton (aka Draco) drew God as a girl on a skateboard. She was feeling the Lov-iosa.

New Year’s resolutions are often about giving something up. But this year, we’re making our resolutions all about piling on joy, thanks to our second annual How to Skimm Your Life Challenge, presented by Athleta, Fidelity, and Sephora.  

Today, buy a coffee for someone else — whether that’s the person behind you in line, a colleague, or a friend who has been having a tough time. Because random acts of kindness are good for you and the people around you. 

PS: We see you smiling. Sign up to get our challenges texted to you every weekday throughout January to keep the good vibes coming. And to keep up with all of our challenges, go here.

In a recent study of 2,000 Americans, the avg respondent said they've cooked the same meal 28 times since the pandemic started. If that sounds boring to you, mix it up with Daily Harvest. You may know them for their sustainably sourced, virtually no-prep smoothies, flatbreads, and harvest bowls. 

But big news: They launched their first move into dinner *checks watch* today. So without further ado, meet Harvest Bakes, veggie-packed, ready-to-bake dishes simmering with gourmet-level flavor. Which give allllll the homemade feels without any of the hard work. The best part? The portions are hefty. Meaning you can share….or save the leftovers for later. Btw, Skimm’rs get up to $40 off for a limited time. Order up.

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

1. Eye makeup that’ll make your friends swear you got lash extensions. You couuuuld let them in on this ultra lengthening mascara with over 15K five-star reviews. (Which is super nourishing and smudge-free, btw.) Or you can keep ‘em guessing. Psst…Skimm’rs get 15% off.*
