Daily Skimm: Strawberries on a summer evenin'

Ever pee a little mid-mountain climber in HIIT class? What about when you hear a good joke? Or when allergy season gets you sneezin’? Doctors call these leaks stress urinary incontinence. Or SUI. And about 1 in 3 women suffer from SUI at some point in their lives, according to the Urology Care Foundation. 

So if you’ve been there, you’re definitely not alone. If you’re looking to do something about it, check out INNOVO’s smart shorts. They’ll do 180 perfect kegels for you. And they’re the only FDA-approved, non-invasive solution proven to strengthen your pelvic floor and eliminate leaks in 12 weeks. No prescription, doctor’s visit, or surgery required. Repeat after us: See ya, SUI.

Survey (read: industry data) says the median home sale price in the US was nearly 17% higher in 2021 than it was in 2020. And the market is still red hot in 2022. So if you’re trying to score a deal, you’ll wanna know about independent mortgage brokers.

So you can get the lowest monthly payment and most favorable terms available. Aaaand get to the closing table sooner (in 19 days or less on avg). Easier, cheaper, faster mortgage process, here you come.*
