Happy Wednesday friends! Being inundated with daily emails is one of the main reasons I signed up for Unroll Me a couple years ago, but there are a handful of “in the know” reads that are musts for me daily. I work in marketing for a financial services firm, so staying up to date on current events is pretty integral to my role. That being said, I don’t have the time to read through the Wall Street Journal and other news sites and really need my information to be bite sized and have enough of it that I can carry on a conversation if asked about it.
- The Skimm || I’m sure that you’ve heard of the Skimm, but in case you haven’t this daily email is like sitting with your girlfriend over a cup of coffee and hearing the the world news in a way that makes sense and actually sticks with you.
- Morning Brew || I’ll be the first to admit that even though I work in finance, reading about the markets is not the most exciting thing to me – enter in the Morning Brew. These writers keep things light and fun and the best part is I finally understand what’s happening without my eyes glazing over! Described as a daily business briefing for millennial, it’s the best one I read for staying up to date for everything from startups to politics.
- The Hustle || The newest daily email that I’ve started reading, it’s much heavier on the text than the other two, but packed with loads of important information. Admittedly I don’t read this every single day, but if my commute is a bit longer than I definitely skim on my way to work for any headlines that I find appealing.
- The Every Girl / The Every Mom || These two sites are what I need for a daily dose of inspiration. While there isn’t necessarily a new blog post that sparks my interest every day, for the most part I really enjoying reading the career profiles on both sites and feel instantly motivated. Whether I’m searching for my next show to binge watch or my next read – these two sites are daily fixtures for me.
What do you like to read to stay in the know?
I love The Skimm! And I wish you a wonderful Wednesday xo
The morning brew is a great one! I like how they give you a quick but understanding dose of the business news! Great list friend!

I LOVE The Skimm and The Every Girl — the best!
I like to read SmartHer news… it's non-biased, quick, concise and just what you need to know for the day. 🙂 I honestly mostly read it on instagram, but there is a website I will check too.
I used to read The Every Girl almost every day in the morning while drinking coffee–I need to get back to doing that! Also LOVE The Skimm!

I swear by the Skimm, it is just fantastic and even better than the Wall Street Journal front page snippets to me. I still try to read a couple pages of the actual newspaper, but it's so hard to find time to do that. I ahve to start reading the rest of these, thanks for sharing lady!
I just started reading The Skimm, need to add these others to my favorites! The EveryMom I follow on IG and love!
Great list!
I am going to give the morning brew a shot! Already have the Skimm headed my way! XOXO, R
I always read the skim. Thanks for the other suggestions!
Thanks for these recommendations!

I try to stay away from world topics because its just harsh. I SHOULD stay up to date – but I'll about Buzzfeed in the morning 🙂 haha
Well this just made my day as I am new to ALL of these! Thanks for sharing!
I love the Skimm…but definitely need to check some of the others. I also love the podcast The Newsworthy….quick 5 minutes with todays news.
I love reading the skimm each morning! Haven't read Morning Brew before, but I'm really interested in it now and can't wait to check it out!
I have heard of some of these but not all. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve actually never heard of any of these sources, so I appreciate you sharing! I just usually go to the news app I have or Apple News, but I’ll have to look into them. Skimm sounds great. I love that it’s condensed in a way that’s easy to understand. I hate having to read through a bunch of unnecessary fluff, lol! I hope you’re having a great week, beauty!

One of my friends got me hooked on The Skimm a few years ago and I LOVE IT.
I totally had to pop back over to tell you in case you didn't see….The SKIMM actually has a podcast starting on Monday!! I don't know why for some reason the news is easier for me to listen to than to read. I did start receiving the Morning Brew this week too…thanks so much for sharing all this!

Ok clearly I've been living under a rock because I haven't heard of the Skimm but, by the way you described it, sounds like a perfect read to get updated on the news.
Thanks for sharing these! I haven't heard of many of them before 🙂
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend 🙂
