EDITOR'S NOTE

In case you’re wondering what our team of editors has been up to over the last six months, we’ve been testing hundreds of products for our second annual Good for You Awards. From healthy snacks and pelvic floor-friendly sex toys to effective skincare and mental health tools — these vetted winners will make every facet of your life easier.

Margo here. Last year, when I moved from New York City to Atlanta, the biggest concern amongst my loved ones was whether my coveted sectional would make it or not. I would pay full price for my Article couch again and again, but its latest Memorial Day Sale is too good to pass up. From now until May 26, it’s offering up to 40% off hundreds of home items (including my Sven couch). Saving $650 will make curling up onto its tufted cushions all the more satisfying.

Three Totally Random Things

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

Sofie Pavitt Face Fridge to Face Blemish Defense Mist

The queen of acne’s latest launch — just in time for sweaty days.

Abercrombie & Fitch Relaxed Short Trench Coat

For unexpectedly chilly spring weather (and petite frames who don’t want to deal with alterations).

Lunya Washable Silk Tulip Back Set

Use code FOR-THESKIMM30 for 30% off.

Reads

Matriarch by Tina Knowles

• The story: While Beyoncé’s mom needs no introduction, her recent memoir provides a fascinating look at the person who raised one of the world's biggest stars. Knowles tells readers about her early life in Galveston, Texas in the 1950s, Motown’s cultural influence, and the risks she took to get her family where it is today. And if becoming hyperfixated on random topics is your thing, we’d highly suggest reading this before you head to a Cowboy Carter tour stop.

Your next book accessory
