If the change in seasons is really getting you down, or if your New Year’s resolutions were shelved sometime around March, consider this a friendly nudge to do something to get your life in order (or, at the very least, feel a little bit better and cozier this autumn). Here, we’ve got seven discounts — exclusively for readers of the Strategist — on some things that will make your nine-to-five a little less grueling and your five-to-nine a little more wholesome. That includes notebooks and planners you’ll actually use from Ban.do, one of our favorite mattress toppers to help you get a good night’s sleep, and Outdoor Voices’ snuggly new line of PrimoFleece pullovers to keep you cozy through all of it. Most of these deals expire tonight (Tuesday, October 25) at 11:59 p.m. ET, so get a move on. And as always, if you want even more sales coverage, be sure to sign up for our newsletter.
All of Golde’s skin-care products are made with high-quality, food-grade ingredients — and though you can technically eat its Clean Greens mask, we’d strongly recommend you just put it on your face instead, especially if you’re looking to soothe active breakouts. If you do, however, want something to sip, try Golde’s latte blends. Just add a scoop of the turmeric blend to hot water or milk for a stomach-easing drink, or use the turmeric-cacao blend as a substitute for chocolate powder when you’re baking brownies. Now through October 28, you can take 20 percent off most everything on the site when you use the code STRATSITEWIDE. The discount doesn’t apply to the company’s bundles or kits, but everything else is fair game. —Tembe Denton-Hurst
Outdoor-self-care brand Kinfield is best known for Golden Hour, one of our best personal mosquito repellents and most-recommended gifts for gardeners. (The citronella-based formula smells good; one Strategist contributor tells us her husband even wears it like cologne.) But we love the brand’s other products for keeping your skin safe while you’re spending time outside and recharging. With the code STRATSITEWIDE, take 20 percent off everything on Kinfield’s site. That includes a nonsticky anti-itch remedy, packaged in a recyclable paper tube, as well as facial and body sunscreens that are reef-safe and moisturizing. The soothing aloe mist will get you plenty of jealous looks in the park or on the hiking trail. Be prepared to pass it around. —Katherine Gillespie
If you’re looking for a spicier way to relax, check out Lovehoney. It’s one of the best places to shop Strategist-approved sex toys all in one place. You can get our all-time-favorite air-suction toy, “the Cadillac of vibrators,” and a top-rated rabbit as well as some of our favorite rings, strokers, and prostate massagers. And don’t forget to add some water-based lube and sex-toy cleaner to your cart too. Through Wednesday, October 26, use the code AFF-STRAT25 to get 25 percent off sitewide. —D.P.
There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep to restore your body and mind, and Slumber Cloud is one of our favorite — and expert-recommended — brands that helps you achieve more comfortable rest. Today, the entire site is 20 percent off for Strategist readers with the code STRAT20. If you sleep hot, consider the Core Mattress Pad, our pick for one of the best cooling mattress pads, which is made from NASA-approved Outlast viscose and cotton that promotes breathability and temperature regulation. Or if you’re in the market for a new pillow, Slumber Cloud makes a down alternative that has the supportive plushness of down (without the goose feathers) and comes in two fill densities. —Lauren Ro
Ban.do’s cheery stationery is a favorite of celebrities, cool teens, and Strategist staffers alike, with fun colorways and striking patterns that are bold enough that you’ll never forget where you put it down. Whether you swear by softcover planners or you jot your notes down only in hardcover journals, there is sure to be an option to suit your writing needs. You can take 25 percent off Ban.do’s notebooks and planners with the code STRAT25. —Dominique Pariso
Winter approaches, which begs an important question: Have you picked out your status fleece? If not, Outdoor Voices has some excellent options, with 30 percent off its retro-inspired PrimoFleece collection when you use the code STRATEGIST30. These fluffy hoodies, vests, and joggers come in all kinds of colorways and contrasting fabrics as well as other thoughtful design features that the athleisure brand has come to be known for — including practical pockets, bungee-cord cinching, and ripstop-nylon detailing. We especially like that the hoodies are available in both a cute cropped pullover style and a more classic full-zip fit — and either would be perfect for both working out or cozying up at home. —K.G.
Whether you need a new pair of blue-light-blocking glasses to help you sleep better at night, a replacement set of readers to help you read better during the day, or you just want to get a good deal on a frame for your new prescription, Felix Gray has tons of options to choose from. In addition to a variety of frames, Felix Gray’s lenses have blue-light blocking and anti-glare coating included. Through Tuesday, October 25, you can use the code STRAT25 to get 25 percent off the company’s Nash LBF frame, which comes in black or whiskey tortoise. —Jordan McMahon
