Cyber Monday – Photo: moneycrashers.com
‘Tis the season to be jolly shopping! It’s Cyber Monday, admittedly the biggest online shopping day of the year, which by the way may very well this year be the last, as Black Friday is now expected to surpass it in sales! And as you’re getting your fingers ready for all this online shopping, beware of the risks of online shopping at work, and don’t fret, you can always shop after-hours today and in the days to come, as deals are staggered this year. And if in doubt, there’s an app for that too….
In any case, here are my 10 favorite cyber sales (please also check my favorite 30 Black Friday sales,which will most likely be extended to today):

It’s called Relax Lite, and is meant to have breathe in and out with the help of soothing sounds and animations.
Whether you’re doubled over from heartburns, or trying hard not to punch any of your in-laws, this app can save your stomach and sanity all in one…By the way, it’s available on iOs and Android, free!

Embellished merino wool sweater – Photo: anntaylor.com
As the holiday season is officially upon us (and so is the cold weather), I’ve been on the lookout for festive yet cozy sweaters, that would look just as good in the office than at my in-laws’ Thanksgiving gathering. Hence today’s pick, this embellished merino wool sweater from Ann Taylor, on sale for half off $74.99!
Loving the simplicity of this versatile sweater, which can be just as easily paired with a black pencil skirt for work, or tuxedo pants like this great pearlized pair, also from Ann Taylor!
Happy Thanksgiving!
