Hey, hey.
’Tis the season of tryptophan-induced naps, leftovers, and of course, sales galore. Because Black Friday is not just a day anymore, it’s a lifestyle. Since helping you score smart items on a budget is kind of our thing, we rounded up some of the best sales you can shop right now. Plus we’ve got a few last-minute Thanksgiving menu recs too.
BTW, this is Skimm Your Life. Every Thursday, we Skimm your shopping cart, streaming queue, and bookshelf. Because we know you have a million and one things to do each week. So with each newsletter (psst: you have to sign up to keep receiving our picks), we’ll help you discover things quicker, so you can spend your downtime smarter.

Not convinced? Check out this week’s picks…

Tons of deals to browse now at Amazon. You’ve been eyeing an Instant Pot for a while. Now you can get it for almost half off. Psst...bookmark this link for the week. And check our fave items on sale here.
20% off everything at Dame. Aka toys, tools, and more to help you turn up the dial on time spent between the sheets. Oh la la.
Up to 80% off at Wayfair. Plus free shipping on orders over $35. Get ready to upgrade your bathroom and bedroom...or maybe your entire home. It’s makeover time.
Big discounts and flash deals at Chewy. We’re talking stuff for dogs, cats, fish, birds, and more. Your furry (or feathery, or slippery) friend will thank you.
Savings on the famous Always Pan (among other things). You can browse deals on essentials and bundles at Our Place.
Curated gift guides that’ll make the holidays way less stressful. Check out Amazon Handmade, Nordstrom, Oprah’s Favorite Things, and Macy’s for all your gifting needs this year. Everyone on your list = covered.
A must-have for anyone who’s looking to be more spontaneous. Travelzoo sees you, hears you, and wants to help. They’ll send you a curated list of deals for dream destinations and local experiences you can pick and choose from. Plus, it’s free to join.*
A simpler, more secure way to holiday shop. Yep, that’s a thing. With Apple Pay, you can check out with a tap of your iPhone or Apple Watch. And thanks to the security of Face ID and Touch ID, only you can make a purchase.*
Festive sleepwear for the whole fam. Prepare for a photo op because Old Navy’s holiday pajama pants were made for matching. Plus, you can snag ‘em for the lowest price of the season (read: $5) when you shop in-store this Friday.*
This week we’ve got Radio City Rockette Tiffany Griffin here to share some her fave self-care recs, skincare essentials, and more.
Smartest purchase I’ve made recently...I bought a massaging foot bath and add ice cubes to make it an ice bath. After a long day of dancing in 3-inch heels in the Christmas Spectacular, it’s the most amazing thing ever.
Product(s) I keep adding to cart...I’m obsessed with this Clinique moisturizing lotion for daytime, and this Youth to the People mask for nighttime. Both of these keep my dry skin super moisturized without causing breakouts, despite the stage makeup I wear up to four times per day.
A no-fail gift idea under $50...I’m really into Stagedoor Candle Co. Every candle smells incredible, and I love that they’re inspired by musicals and shows.
Best hack for keeping my skin healthy...Washing my face every morning and night. I’ve used Cetaphil cleanser for a long time and I love how it gently takes my makeup off without drying out my skin. [PS: We’ve got some super-helpful makeup remover and face-wash tips here.]
Best piece of career advice someone ever gave me...Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Your journey is yours to own, and what you bring is special.
What’s always in my gym bag...My mini foam roller. After performing in up to four shows each day, rolling at the end of the night helps my muscles reset and get ready for the next day.
Something I always have in my dressing room...I love a good pair of cozy slippers.
Psst: This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Tiffany's answers are hers alone and do not represent an endorsement of the Radio City Rockettes, the Christmas Spectacular, or Radio City Music Hall.
20 make-ahead Thanksgiving desserts. Because desserts is ‘stressed’ spelled backwards. And this year we want a worry-free holiday.
The best ski resorts in the US and Canada. Whether you're a seasoned snowboarder or just here for the bunny slopes.
Relaxing exercises that’ll help you relieve tension. This is your sign to unclench your jaw. And say ‘hey’ to these instant soothers.
New shows and movies to stream this week. Lady Gaga in “House of Gucci.” We repeat: Lady Gaga in “House of Gucci.”
Crowd-pleasing vegan Thanksgiving recipes everyone will love. Sidesgiving for the win.
