The sneakers one Skimm’r wore for 12 days in Paris

EDITOR'S NOTE

It’s my birthday month, which means Taurus season is in full swing. True to my sun sign nature, I’m focusing on slowing down to appreciate life’s little pleasures and savor moments of self-care. This week, I was also struck by a response Hailey Bieber gave at the Met Gala about how her perspective on joy has changed since having a child. I think she aptly described why all of us are trying to bring some whimsy (see below) and childlike wonder back into our lives. To honor that, here’s a look at my May wish list to help me take full advantage of celebrating the little things:

A pretty marble tray to keep my skincare on.
Rhode eye patches that won’t budge (speaking of Mrs. Bieber).
A pair of comfy leather sneakers in my favorite baby blue (FYI, you can get an extra 15% off with code THESKIMM15).
A splurge-worthy candle that smells like stepping outside in the city where you spent your 20s.

Sarai’s Picks

Our Senior Social Media Manager is sharing three products she’s loving this week:

Stretch Your Story ButterMelt Layered Bra and Leggings: I’m back on my morning runs, and I’ve been wearing this sports bra with the matching leggings. They’re so soft that they feel like a second skin.
Reduce Saltini: My backyard patio is finally complete, and I’ve been having everyone over just so I can make them margaritas in these adorable tumblers.
Suede Ballet Flats: I’ve been catching flights in these ballet flats from Zara. They’re soft, flexible, and easy to fit in my suitcase.

(Not So) Silly Little Treat

In our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, Skimm’rs share the joy-sparking products they’re buying during the week. Today’s submission? A pair of travel-friendly sneakers one Skimm’r never wanted to take off:

“I wore these Birkenstock sneakers for 12 full days in Paris. I walked 130,000 steps with total comfort and support! My sister did, too. They have the same cork footbed as the sandals that mold to your feet. And they’re so cute that they went with every outfit I packed. ” —Pippa K. 60, Denver, CO
