You worked hard enough this week. Let us plan your weekend…
PS: Skimm HQ is off next Friday for the holiday, so the next edition of Weekend Non-Negotiables will be back in your inbox on May 29.
Happy (almost) weekend. “Maycember” madness is real, and my calendar proves it: third grade testing, field day, spirit week, sport seasons, and managing a household that includes two active bunnies. So I’m focused on simplifying wherever I can. Here’s what that looks like this weekend:
Making these Korean Beef Bowls. Ever since theSkimm featured this recipe last month, it’s been on repeat. Mostly because it comes together in 20 minutes and my daughter loves it.
Shopping for our first big international trip to Japan. That means stocking up on two Uniqlo finds: Wide-leg pants that have the look of trousers but the feel of joggers, and these viral built-in bra tanks. Both work now and will be perfect for layering in Tokyo.
Rewatching The Mandalorian ahead of the movie hitting theaters next week. We were already counting down the days, but the early reactions have made us even more excited. Plus, it’s the ideal way to decompress: bunnies hopping around the living room, all of us piled on the couch.
Reading What You Are Looking For Is in the Library, which is about a librarian who can sense exactly what each visitor needs — and recommends the perfect book to help them find it. The novel brings me so much comfort, I own a physical copy and a Kindle version.
Making the most of my Passenger Princess status. I’ve perfected a five-product makeup routine (SPF, concealer, brow gel, blush, and a lip stain) that I can apply with my hands. It’s key for getting ready on the way to an early soccer game — and for traveling light since everything fits in one tiny pouch.
