Perks and Rec: Big deals on earbuds and a great garden hose

Does it sound crazy to rave about a garden hose? We're raving about a garden hose.

The best garden hose we've ever tested is lightweight, flexible, super durable and 75 feet long — and it's down from $108.69 to $54.98 on Amazon right now. If you've been fighting with your garden hose this season (hello, it's me), consider this your ticket out.

I'm poking around Nike's sale, during which you can get up to 50% off shoes and apparel. I've got my finger hovering over the "Add to Bag" button on these classic SB Chron 2 sneakers (in men's and women's sizes) and this sustainably made and very affordable sports bra.

Have a very un-Monday Monday.
