Perks and Rec: Deals on bikes, books and body care

We're starting today's deals off strong with discounts from REI. Right now, you can save on everything you need to successfully cycle: bikes, gear, clothes and more. If you have everything you need to hit the road (or, like me, cannot fathom getting on a bike anytime soon), shop the sale section for everything you need for your activity of choice.

After you're done outdoors, nothing feels better than a good shower. Upgrade your shower and self-care routines over at The Body Shop, where you'll get 20% off two or more bath, body or haircare products. Two Reviewed-approved suggestions: this foot scrub and some argan-infused body butter.

The perfect end to a perfect day, in my humble opinion, is curling up with a good book. At Barnes and Noble, tons of best-selling books are discounted with this buy one, get one half off deal. That means you can grab a cookbook (this one is constantly open on my counter) and a new thriller to keep you entertained.

Happy shopping, reader.
