Perks and Rec: Cyber Monday sales actually worth shopping

Happy Cyber Monday. If you’re back at work today, take some time to grab a little treat for yourself. Several already-stellar sales got even better this morning, including at Madewell, Athleta, Target and more—a sign to grab that thing you’ve been eyeing all weekend. 

Our deal hunters found plenty of new deals on things we tested and adored. Our favorite workout leggings are under $20 right now, and our top flannel sheets are half off at Lands’ End. It’s also a great chance to shop the best smart home devices we’ve tested, as several of them are on sale today. 

In the world of beauty, discounts are aplenty. We found deals on a very good hair dryer, Paula’s Choice exfoliant, a sunscreen that impressed us, and a top-rated face wash from Youth to the People. Stock up on your favorites or add something new to your routine while it’s still marked down. 

Happy shopping,
