Perks and Rec: Sales on outdoor gear and sustainable activewear

You know it's going to be a good week when it starts with an REI sale in your inbox. Tons of outdoor summer essentials, like kayaks, running gear and tents, are up to 50% off now through July 4. And if you're a member, you'll get an exclusive 30% off everything from the REI Co-op brand and The North Face.

Also, Girlfriend Collective's anniversary sale is in full swing. The sustainable and size-inclusive brand is one of our favorites, and this week, you'll save 25% on your entire purchase. I'm wearing the Paloma bra and run shorts as I type this (and have the set in four different colors). The brand's exercise dresses and leggings also make frequent appearances in my group chats, if you're looking for some tried-and-true suggestions.

Have a happy Monday, friends.
