It’s perfect for anyone who dreads putting on lotion or cream at the end of the day. PS: Use code SKIMMFAVES15 until July 21 for 15% off your first purchase. ($12+, Kate McLeod)

Warmer weather = more loads of laundry and another reason to clean your washing machine is. Make sure it’s empty before dropping in a tablet, then run the machine normally. The tablet will dissolve and absorb odors and residue left over from past washes. ($11.29, Amazon)

Journaling for the win. You'll be able to record what you’re thinking, a specific memory, or a wish for the future.
