(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 sandals we’re snagging for the pool:

Sandals

“I bought these sandals a couple of weeks ago and finally put them to use. I'm so happy I got them! I had bunion surgery seven weeks ago, and was told that I had to retire all of my flip flops, so I ordered these cloud slides. I will officially be spending all summer in them. They feel great on my healing foot and are waterproof.” —Jennifer Cicenia, 50, Pine Brook, NJ
