Editor's Note
I’m officially sucked into the brain stacking trend. In case you missed it, it’s basically another riff on the analog bag, in which you curate a group of phone-free activities you can do in succession to start, end, or break up your day. Here’s everything in mine:
A quick one-page brain dump in my journal, with my favorite pen.
Solving a round of a Rubik’s Cube.
One mini crossword from this book.
Reading a page or two of this mini pamphlet on relaxation.
My latest craft project, which includes bedazzling a Kindle case.

The Daily Steal
What we consider to be the best clog is on sale
A universally loved shoe amongst our editors? Rothy’s Casual Clog. From now until October 19, the brand is offering up to 25% off on all clogs, including its new Aprés version. They’re a great ballet flat alternative, and they’re easy to throw on for quick errands, runs to take out the trash, and general everyday comfort.

CAKES is doing Breast Cancer Awareness Month right
Margo here. I swear by CAKES’ Grippy and Sticky Circles as a no-frills way to go braless for event dresses or tops with unique necklines. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the brand has launched a special bundle that comes with both styles, along with a checklist to understand your breast cancer risk and your body. Plus, with every purchase, CAKES will donate 30% of proceeds to breast cancer research.
