Let’s not readtoomuch into the fact that a sleep aid (Salt Lab’s magnesium-oil spray) and sleep mask (MZOO’s affordable and effective blackout one) were our top sellers in October. Everyone’s probably doing fine. Also popular: an actually good jar sauce and COVID tests. On-sale AirPods were a hit during Prime Day, as were smart plugs. And this is the first month in a while thatClinique’s Black Honeyhasn’t featured in our top-bought products list. Is it possible that every single one of you now owns it?

The StrategistBeauty Briefinvestigated what we can do about our necks
Certainneck concerns, like sagging skin and deep-set wrinkles or visible banding, can be slightly improved by a cream, but it won’t be revolutionary. With that said, if you start early, you can preserve more of the collagen you do have, which can push the need for more expensive in-office treatments further down the line.

And a 100-word ode from theStrategist Daily

“After maxing out our Ikea Kallax shelves, my husband became obsessed with finding the best way to organize all of our kids’ books and found the solution in our first-grader’s school library. He literally turned over a box in the library to see where it was from, and it wasthis. You can stand up the books like a display and keep them neatly stacked, so you can easily flip through them to find the book you’re looking for. They’re great for big picture books andsmaller chapter books, depending on the size bin you get.”
