LOVIN' The Skimm! Designed by Women FOR Women!

So, about a year ago, we decided to pull the plug on Cable in our house. It had just gotten WAY too expensive, and we already had more than enough shows to watch between Netflix, Hulu and Prime all streaming on our Apple TV. It was great...the answer to our prayers! And at first, I really enjoyed the fact that I no longer had access to the NEWS (which had, quite frankly, gotten even more annoying and depressing in the past 2 years than ever before). I finally felt free!!!

For a while, that is. Eventually, I just started feeling DUMB when the people in my life would start talking about something in the news because I honestly had no idea what they were talking about?? I was missing out on all the important stuff. But trying to sift through ALL the news out there just to discover that important stuff was WAY too time-consuming for me. Um, I've got a business to run...I've got a life to live! So, what to do?

Enter, theSkimm! 😊👏🏻Founded by Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin (two gorgeous, 20-something gals who are seriously rockin' the whole media / entrepreneur thing!!!), theSkimm is basically a Newsletter that comes out each day (except on the weekends because, as their own welcome email states, “we're a company that respects brunch”) which summarizes all the big stories of the day for people - mostly women - who can't, or don't want to, be bothered with paying attention to the actual news. Like ME!!! THEY read all the news and break it down for you into a sort of "Daily Digest"...quick and easy. It's conversational, it's fun, it's a little quirky...and it's completely doable in just 10 minutes a day. Each summary is usually accompanied by a link to a full news article, for those who want more information (which, I usually do). And you can now get it as a mobile app too. And, of course, you can FOLLOW them on their Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram feeds...you name it, they've got it. 

The Daily Skimm is FREE, but you can also choose to subscribe to get extra features (like the app on your phone, having important dates and happenings around the world automatically added to your calendar, audio episodes you can listen to while driving, etc.). I opted to get theSkimm APP on my iPhone (as I already get way too much email) and I use it every day...just a few minutes and I have exactly what I need. ​

It's REALLY cool, and I HIGHLY recommend you take a moment to check it out. Like I said, it's totally FREE unless you opt for the additional features. Have fun "Skimming" the news...and let me know what you think!
