EDITOR'S NOTE
I just got back from a weekend of Memorial Day travels (including a destination wedding in humid weather), which means there’s a suitcase waiting to be unpacked. Here are the laundry products I love under $25 that make the mundane task manageable:
A mess-free detergent that’s safe for my sensitive skin.
The basic hamper I use for transporting folded, clean clothes.
Wool dryer balls to prevent static and wrinkling.

Archies Flip-Flops
These basic sandals are $40 and provide ample arch support.
We just found the 2025 version of the dopamine hit that was heading to Old Navy’s iconic flip-flop wall, and it’s these sandals from Archies that don’t feel like cardboard. At $40, they come in a variety of colors and have molded footbeds to reduce strain on your feet. And if you’re wondering if they’re actually stylish, Jennifer Aniston has them in multiple colors.
Three Totally Random Things
Here are three random products we’re loving this week:
Analu Therapy Dough
Stop what you’re doing. There’s a new fidget toy on rotation.
Mediheal Toner Pads
Finally, an exfoliator that isn’t overpriced.
Old Navy Snug Striped T-Shirt
Our favorite T-shirt now comes in a striped version.
In our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, Skimm’rs share the joy-sparking products they’re buying during the week. Today’s submission? A pajama-like matching set that’s chic enough to wear out:
“I bought this matching set for my upcoming summer vacation, and I’m already thinking about buying it in other colors. You can wear it as a cover-up, layered over a tank, or on its own. I’m even planning to pair the top with jeans during travel days.” —Leanne Tedesco, 34, San Jose, CA
