Saje Natural Wellness's Joy of Plants Advent Calendar sells out every year, and the 2026 edition is now available. This 12-day countdown comes in a green, house-shaped box with gold botanical foil and "20 26" on the front. Behind the doors are diffuser blends, body care, roll-ons and a few extras that cover most of what Saje makes. If you love aromatherapy or want an easy, thoughtful gift, here is what you need to know about the release date, products and price.

What's Inside the 12 Doors

The calendar costs $145. Buying the same products one by one would cost about $206 in the US (or CA$200 in Canada). Here are the products in Saje's official door order:

1. Northern Light Citrus Santal Diffuser Blend: bright citrus and warming santal
2. Unwind Harmonizing Diffuser Blend: herbal florals with uplifting bergamot
3. Lavender & Honey Jute & Joy Soap-Filled Wash Pad (mini): new and kit exclusive
4. Rose Mist
5. Sugar Plum Fairy Cinnamon Snap Diffuser Blend: smells "like fresh-baked cinnamon cookies"
6. Liquid Sunshine Body Butter
7. Peppermint Halo Cooling & Soothing Oil Blend Roll-On: L-menthol from peppermint, plus eucalyptus and rosemary
8. Vegan Leather Roll-On Carrier in Evergreen: new and kit exclusive
9. Aroma Adorn Ceramic Passive Hanging Diffuser
10. Vanilla & Chill Hand Cream: new
11. Extra Strength Pain Relieving Oil Blend: L-menthol from peppermint with sweet birch
12. Muscle Melt Bath Salt Soak: sea salt, clove and Roman chamomile

Across the body care, Saje's scent story moves through sunny citrus, sweet vanilla, refreshing mint, floral lavender and rich rose. The diffuser blends add seasonal cosiness.

How to Get the Most From Your Calendar

• Build a mini ritual. Put the Northern Light blend in the Aroma Adorn diffuser on day nine. A passive diffuser needs no power, so you can hang it near your desk or bedside.
• Pair recovery products. Soak in the Muscle Melt bath salts, then apply the Extra Strength Pain Relieving Oil Blend to tired muscles.
• Keep Peppermint Halo on hand. Slip the roll-on into its new Evergreen carrier and keep it in your bag for a cooling moment during busy holiday days.
• Read the labels. Diffuser blends are not for topical use. Saje advises against Peppermint Halo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have high or low blood pressure, or are epileptic. Skip the pain relief oil if you're allergic to plants in the daisy (Asteraceae) family.

Who It's For

This calendar suits the wellness lover, the host who deserves more than a bottle of wine, or anyone who is hard to shop for. Saje describes its formulas as 100% natural and not tested on animals. Unsuitable formulations can be refunded within 30 days with the original receipt. Remember that discount codes don't apply, and this calendar tends to sell out fast.

Where to Buy

• US: Saje Natural Wellness ($145) and Saje stores
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Saje's US site ships internationally, charged in USD.
• International: Saje Canada (CA$145) and Saje stores. Other countries can order through saje.com's international shipping.

Two brands found in many women's daily routines have finally joined forces. Spanx and OLAY have launched their first-ever collaboration, the limited-edition Spanx x OLAY "Get Cheeky" Bundle. It pairs OLAY's firming skincare with Spanx's smoothing lace underwear in one Amazon-exclusive box. It's playful, practical and timed for October Prime Day 2026. Here are the release date, the products inside and the price.

What's Inside the Get Cheeky Bundle

The bundle has three products, packed in a collectible red box with cut-out OLAY and SPANX lettering and a "Get Cheeky" band.

• OLAY Regenerist Face & Neck Lifting Treatment (NEW): This formula combines OLAY's Hexa-Repair Peptide™ Complex with Pro-NAD+. It helps tighten, firm and contour sagging skin and supports surface renewal. The tube says it is fragrance free, which is good news for sensitive skin.
• OLAY Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream: OLAY's well-known moisturiser uses Triple Collagen Peptide technology. It helps visibly improve firmness, elasticity and deep wrinkles for smoother, more sculpted-looking skin.
• SPANXsupersmooth® Undie-tectable® Lace Hi-Hipster: This soft lace style gives light compression. It has a bonded smoothing waistband, breathable quick-drying fabric and elastic-free edges, so it leaves no visible panty lines. The body is 77% nylon and 23% elastane, the lace is 83% nylon and 17% elastane, and the gusset is 100% cotton. It's machine washable.

Why This Pairing Works

The idea is simple: help women feel confident from the face down. "Both OLAY and Spanx have earned a trusted place in women's daily routines," says Katie Weeks, SVP of Marketing at Spanx. She calls the bundle "a smart, natural fit." Gwynedd Davis, VP of OLAY North America, adds that both brands invest in innovation "to develop products that deliver on their promises and help women look and feel confident and comfortable in their own skin."

How to Get the Most From It

• Don't stop at your jawline. Smooth the Face & Neck Lifting Treatment upward over your neck and décolletage, areas that often get skipped.
• Layer smartly. Apply the lighter treatment first, then seal it in with the Micro-Sculpting Cream, morning or night. Add SPF in the daytime.
• Be consistent. Peptide-based firming formulas give their best results with daily use over several weeks.
• Pick your shade wisely. Choose Soft Nude or Black to wear under fitted dresses and tailoring. Choose Red for something more fun.

Price and Release Date

The bundle is listed on Amazon.com now. The brands' Instagram announcement points to availability from 6 October. The key dates are 6–7 October 2026, when the bundle drops 30% off its $110 value to $77 for Amazon Prime Day. Put simply, the set costs $77 during the deal, while the items are valued at $110 in total. The everyday Amazon price is not yet confirmed. This is a limited run, so stock may sell out.

Where to Buy

• US: Amazon.com, in Soft Nude, Black and Red. The price is $77 during Prime Day, 6–7 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Giovanni's Professional Collection is a new line of eight hair care and styling products built around Rice Milk, Silk Extract and Silk Protein. Prices run from $11.99 to $21.99 (US). The collection went on sale at giovannicosmetics.com in late September 2026, with the Texturizing & Finishing Hair Spray still listed as coming soon. Giovanni says the line was "created with stylists in mind" and is rooted in founder Giovanni J. Guidotti's family salon heritage. It carries the brand's tagline, "The Hair Care Brand of the Entertainment Industry."

When Did the Giovanni Professional Collection Launch?

Giovanni hasn't announced an official release date. The collection went on sale at giovannicosmetics.com in late September 2026 in the US, following an early-access launch mentioned on the brand's Silk-Gloss System page. The site now carries a "Now Available: The Giovanni Professional Collection" banner.

Price

In the US, individual products cost $11.99 to $13.99, and the 24 oz shampoo and conditioner cost $21.99 each. The Hair Spray's price has not yet been announced, and no UK or European prices have been confirmed.

• The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Frosted Fig Dry Shampoo costs $33 for 5.5 oz.
• The Crown Affair The Vault Holiday 2026 Hair Care Set costs $272.

The Three 4-Step Systems

Each system pairs the 13.5 oz Shampoo and Conditioner with two styling products. Each one costs exactly what its four products cost separately, so the systems are a convenient bundle, not a discount.

• Silk-Gloss System ($52.96): Leave-In Elixir + Smooth & Silky Serum. Giovanni says it is for glossy "glass hair".
• Sleek Hold System ($53.96): Strong Hold Gel + Pomade. Giovanni says it is for slick-backs, sleek ponytails, buns and defined edges.

• The seven published US ingredient lists share the same base: rice starch, corn silk extract, niacinamide, biotin, two peptides, coconut, argan and jojoba oils, and hydrolyzed keratin.

Formula Details

Each product title highlights Silk Extract, Keratin and Rice Milk. On Giovanni's US ingredient lists, these appear as:

• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch
• Zea Mays (Corn) Silk Extract
• Hydrolyzed Keratin

The Texturizing Cream also lists Hydrolyzed Rice Protein. Giovanni notes that its ingredient lists apply to US distribution only and may change over time.

How to Use

The packaging feels as couture as the products. The red lacquered-look chest closes with a gold Louboutin "L" clasp and opens into two pull-out tiers of numbered doors dotted with gold stars. Once the countdown ends, it makes a beautiful vanity organiser for lipsticks and minis.
