EDITOR'S NOTE

Happy Thursday. I’m delighted to report that there are lots of good sales happening this week. Keeping this short and sweet so you can get to shopping ASAP:

• Abercrombie is offering up to 60% off all clearance items. And no, this isn’t your average picked-over clearance section. There are some solid staples (including swim) at low prices.

• BaubleBar’s cult-favorite $50 Custom Phone Case Sale is back, and it’s a sale our editors (and Skimm’rs alike) shop every year. It’s the perfect place to get gifts for any upcoming birthdays.

• Supergoop is offering free shipping on all orders, with a free gift on orders over $60. I can confirm I’ve already taken advantage of this promo ahead of summer beach trips. This is the face sunscreen I can’t go a day without. Don’t forget to use your FSA/HSA dollars at checkout.

• And speaking of skincare, Ulta is currently running its Here We Glow Event, with BOGO 50% off select suncare and 20% off select skincare. It ends on Saturday.

Run, don’t walk. We have an exclusive code with Alpyn until tomorrow, providing 25% off sitewide. We find its products to be luxe, yet simple and efficacious. If you’re looking to restock your skincare shelf, go for this Barrier Repair Cream (that’s eczema-friendly) or this Brightening Bubbling Cleanser.

Today’s Must-Haves

Here are three of the hottest products on the internet this week:

• Madewell x Shopbop Bandana Bag: The new summer bag that’s popping off in our team group chat.

• Onyx Hard as Hoof: The bestselling strengthening cream that’ll keep your nails healthy in between gel manicures.

• Zara Polka Dot Midi Dress: Our editor is eyeing this $80 dress for her upcoming bachelorette weekend.

🌈 Pride Month Reads 🌈

These four new releases are keeping our hearts warm.

• 🍅 Preorder 831 Stories’ latest novella following a will-they, won’t-they romance between a vegetable farmer and city girl seeking refuge from her hectic life. Consider this the cozy upstate New York romance of your dreams.

• 🎾 If your Heated Rivalry obsession won’t stop (same), go for this new tennis romance that’s flirty, sporty, and wonderfully covers the complexities of mental health.

• 🏠 This queer YA novel about a young woman inheriting her late uncle’s gay bar (and the found family that comes with it). What’s not to love?

• 🔍 Another preorder: This romance-mystery hybrid about two high school rivals who reunite as adults to investigate their former teacher’s disappearance. Perfect if you love multiple genres in one.
