Daily Skimm: I'll be there and you'll be near

Skimm’d with an app that actually makes investing easier

"To get to the Pentagon" — An animal welfare org on why a hen apparently crossed near the DOD. Question. Answered.

January has come and gone. But if you’re still busy with New Year’s goals, we’ve got a tip that can help you stay motivated: Incentivize yourself to hit mini-milestones. Bonus points if you pick rewards that are relevant to your goal. Think: a shiny new workout ‘fit as a prize for hitting the gym.

Another tip for anyone trying to make positive changes in 2022? Try Noom. Aka the digital health platform that uses behavioral science techniques to help users get — and stay — in control. Their new program, Noom Mood, is all about managing stress and getting empowered to take on any challenge. It’s full of tools you can put into practice right away. Learn more here.

Total support. Flexible shaping. Confidence-boosting style. These are a few of our favorite things (in a bra). But uncomfortable pokey wires? Not so much. Enter: LIVELY’s chic, no-wire styles. They're made by women, for women. And Skimm’rs get 15% off their first purchase. We’d go with…

• A lacy push-up you’ll actually wanna wear ($45). Sexy? Check. Supportive? Also check. Breathable? You better believe it.  

• The deep-V bra they can’t keep in stock ($45). Because lotttts of people love the super soft fabric and front-adjusting straps. We think you might, too. 

• Something lightly padded and lifting ($45). For when you want a natural, smooth look and barely-there feel. Aka always.

You may have noticed your investment portfolio isn’t feeling '22. It’s burning red. (Not Taylor's version.) January was the worst month for US stocks since March 2020 with major mood…er, price…swings nearly every day. Meet market volatility. It's totally normal, but can be pushed to extremes for lots of reasons. Think: major Fed moves, Russia-Ukraine tensions, and Omicron concerns. One thing you can do when markets get bumpy: shake it off. Here’s what you need to know about volatile markets.

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