EDITOR'S NOTE

Happy Holidays. However you’re spending today, I hope you’re getting ample time to unwind. Here are some cold-weather essentials I’m curling up with during my (almost) two weeks of PTO:

• These veggie broth tea bags for sipping.

• A portable humidifier to make any space less dry.

• This set of mini coloring books one fellow Skimm’r swears by.

A couple weeks ago, Skimm’rs couldn’t stop buying this cotton top from Treasure & Bond. It’s $45, but it’s been on sale for the past few weeks. One of our editors owns it in a few colors and she reports that it’s long enough to wear with leggings, but can be dressed-up and paired with jeans. Because it’s waffle-knit, it’ll also provide some warmth when layering.

Three Totally Random Things

Check out three totally random things we’re loving this week:

(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 cooling undereye stick our editor found on vacation.

“During a last-minute Zitomer’s run with my mom a couple weeks ago, we stumbled upon this gem of an undereye stick from the French pharmacy brand, Embryolisse. This little stick is packed with aloe and glycerin to depuff, cool, brighten, and hydrate your undereyes. If you love using eye masks, but don’t have the time, you can swipe this on for the same effect in seconds. My mom says that since using this before applying her concealer, she’s noticed a huge difference in how her makeup applies. You might have your skincare routine set in stone, but I’m here to tell you that once you try this, you won’t go back.” —Margo Ghertner, Associate Commerce Editor, Atlanta, GA
