Skimm HQ is closed for the holiday, but we always want to keep you informed. So the Daily Skimm team is bringing you three things to know to start your day. Then we, the Skimm Shopping editors, are taking over to bring you all the best Labor Day sales to shop before the long weekend is over. — Caroline Goldstein / Senior Commerce Editor / New York, NY [Three things to know] - Over the weekend, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) [recovered the bodies of six hostages]( from a tunnel in the southern Gazan city of Rafah. The hostages were killed by Hamas shortly before Israeli forces reached them, according to an IDF spokesperson, and included [Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin](, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival. In a statement, President Biden said he was “devastated and outraged” by the news and insisted “Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.” Meanwhile, tens of thousands of protestors [participated in demonstrations across Israel]( Sunday, with many (including some of the families of the hostages) blaming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government for failing to secure a deal to bring the hostages home. - On Saturday, [Brazil started blocking its citizens from accessing X](. The suspension follows Elon Musk’s refusal to comply with an order from a Brazilian Supreme Court justice to appoint a legal representative to facilitate government requests to block alleged misinformation accounts. The move — which could affect some 40 million Brazilians — is the latest development in a monthslong feud between the judge and Musk, [who said]( the judge is “crushing the people’s right to free speech.” - Former President Donald Trump announced that if elected, his administration would require the government or insurance companies [to cover the cost of IVF treatments](. While he didn’t specify how the plan would work, the announcement — largely seen as an attempt to gain women’s votes — [has drawn criticism]( from both anti-abortion groups and abortion rights proponents, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), who called Trump’s comments “[smoke and mirrors](.” [deeply discounted stuff] 🧘‍♀️ Up to 75% off a [pair of leggings]( with just the right amount of compression. 🎀 70% off a bow-accented [midi dress]( for your next wedding invite. ✨ 63% off a pair of [gold hoops]( you’ll wear every day. 🐶 42% off a [Dyson vacuum]( that sucks up pet hair with ease. 🤍 25% off a lightweight [mesh bra]( (with code Back2You25). [wait, what are we actually buying today?][patchology eye patches] “I can never get myself to buy [face masks]( or [eye masks]( at full price. I adore a self-care moment when I’m home alone on a weekend, but it has to come at a discount. Patchology is doing 25% off sitewide and the sale ends today, so I would highly suggest grabbing [a bundle]( while you still can.” –Alexandra Napoli, Commerce Director “Don’t @ me, but I’m buying a winter coat. This [wool one]( is a total classic. The belted silhouette is giving Miranda Priestley, especially in this winter-white shade (though it’s *actually* putty). It’s 25% off today with code LDW25, so accessible for a regular-person budget.” –Caroline Goldstein, Senior Commerce Editor “I just tested a bunch of [redness-reducing skincare](, and the [Redness Reform Serum]( by Prequel was one of the products that came out on top. It’s great for people who have skin that’s sensitive to hyaluronic acid but still want to look dewy. Plus, I love the chic packaging, so you’ll find me stocking up while it’s 15% off.” –Martha Upton, Senior Commerce Writer “For me, fall only means one thing, and that’s back-to-school season. I’m using this time to do my version of shopping for the season by stocking up on notepads for all my never-ending to-do lists. Rifle Paper Co. is offering 25% off sitewide and [this notepad for groceries]( is everything I need and more.” –Margo Ghertner, Associate Commerce Editor [can this alarm clock fix my life by tomorrow?][loftie alarm clock] [Loftie Clock]( There’s a lot of talk around creating a [bedtime routine](, which basically involves not being on or around your phone. That’s where this good, not-so-old-fashioned alarm clock comes in. It has a bedtime alarm that’ll remind you when it’s time to start winding down (aka, putting your phone in another room), a sound machine that plays a variety of soothing ambient noises, and a nightlight that gives off a warm glow. The alarm is designed to gently transition you out of sleep and into your day. Since we started going to bed and [waking up with our Loftie](, we’ve stuck to our routine much easier and slept better. It doesn’t hurt that it’s 20% off today. [what are the press-on nails we like again?][glamnetic press-on nails] [Glamnetic Press-On Nails]( If your last experience with press-on nails was at a sleepover in middle school, we’re happy to introduce you to the new guard of false nails. Glamnetic offers hundreds (if not thousands) of shapes, lengths, and designs, ranging from the [fantastical]( to the [high-key glam](. Personally, we’re partial to the your-nails-but-better options, like this almond-shaped [French manicure]( and short, rounded [“lip gloss” nails](. One of our shopping editors wore them to the office recently and spent the day fielding compliments (an upside to working at Skimm HQ). She says it took the exact time of one-and-a-half episodes of Friends to apply, and they can stay on for about a week (or two, if you believe in yourself and don’t wash a ton of dishes). These already-inexpensive press-ons are 25% off today. Take the plunge. [skimm picks] Trending products and brands our shopping team has been loving recently.
