EDITOR'S NOTE

This is one of those Editor’s Notes where there’s too much to tell you and so little time. Let’s get right into it:

• Our exclusive event with Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom. The BFFs are giving Skimm’rs tips and tricks on how to throw parties that actually foster connection. Register as a guest for $30, but Skimm+ members (which costs $10/month) can join for free.

• Buy one, get one pair of sunglasses at Quay for free.

• Article’s Labor Day sale starts today, with up to 40% off hundreds of items. I will continue to advocate for my beloved couch.

• Larroudé’s 30% off sale. The mid-priced, luxury shoe brand is giving customers 30% off all styles before tariffs impact their prices. If there’s one sale to take advantage of right now, it’s this one.

Even if your summer travels are winding down, we still think it’s smart to take advantage of Labor Day sales to stock up on the big-ticket items you’ll definitely reach for later. Calpak’s latest sale is offering 15% off sitewide and lasts until September 3. By the time the holidays come around, you’ll be set and organized for road trips, train rides, and long-haul flights. PS: Some items are final sale.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

J.Crew Delaney Kickout Sweater Pants

When you use code EXTRA at checkout, these chic pants only cost $25.

Affresh Garbage Disposal Cleaner

These pods will give your disposal a deep clean in one simple step.

Migrastil Migraine Stick

Roll this onto pressure points as you wait for your medication to kick in.

(Not So) Silly Little Treat

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 shower moisturizer and exfoliator from Kate McLeod that makes our director feel like she’s at a spa:

“Kate McLeod has been on my radar for a while, but I had never tested anything from the brand. When I received a sample of the Daily Pebble, I immediately placed them in my shower. Long story short, I love them. They immediately disintegrate when placed under water, so you get a mix of hydration and exfoliation that no regular bar of soap can manage. I massage one pebble over my entire body, but pay close attention to my legs because I get super dry there. Afterwards, my skin feels infinitely smoother and softer.” —Ali Napoli, Commerce Director
