What Zainab's buying |
I used to be pretty bad at sun protection (like, “no sunscreen ever” bad), but I’ve come a long way, in part because there are so many fun ways to approach it today. |
|
|
|
A new-to-me accessory: Sun parasols are a good alternative when you don’t feel like putting on a sun hat, although I’ve recently found a floppy wide brim option with built-in sun protection that I don’t mind. |
|
|
|
|
Breathable shoes: To keep my feet safe from sunburns and weird tan lines, I tend to go for meshy sneakers like this Allbirds runner, which (by the way) is on sale for $72. Adidas has a great option too — down to $50. |

This week's review |
|
My colleague Lisa Schweitzer, a culinary expert who knows a thing or two about good coffee, recently tested the Yeti Rambler French press, which at $110 retail, is definitely an investment.
The pros? Its double-wall insulation, vacuum-sealed lid and clever filter, which helps keep the brewed coffee and the used grounds fully separated. The con? That price.
Her final verdict? “If you’re someone who brews at home most days and likes to linger over a cup or two without constantly reheating in the microwave, the Yeti Rambler French press could easily become your daily coffee buddy.”
Deal alert: The Yeti Rambler French press is on sale for $88.

3 questions... |
about July 4 sales |
Fourth of July deals are live — and going fast. I asked Izabella Zaydenberg, who’s been tracking discounts all week, about what to add to your cart ASAP. |
|
|
|
What are the best deals you’ve spotted? |
|
|
If you’ve had your eye on an Amazon device — be it an Echo or a Blink camera — they’ve just dropped to their lowest prices all year (I’m talking up to 60% off). I’ve also spotted a ton of name-brand vacuums on sale, like the Bissell Little Green for just $88 and the Shark Navigator for its lowest price in months. |

|
What big-ticket items are worth shopping right now? |
|
|
|
|
In the spirit of the holiday, have you seen discounts on any beach and outdoor essentials? |
|
|
No beach day is complete without a cooler full of your favorite drinks, and the crème de la crème of coolers, the Yeti Roadie, is 20% off. I’ve also spotted a ton of flattering swimsuits on sale at Amazon — this crisscross style is a No. 1 bestseller, and it’s just $31. |
