An editor or markup language is a type of computer software that aids in the formatting and structuring of text. The most common use for an editor is to create Web pages, but one can also use it to annotate documents with metadata such as comments and hyperlinks, or modify source code as placeholder text during development.
The “cnn underscored” is a website that highlights news stories with the most important words in bold.

Ice Roller by Esarora
It seems that almost everyone on our crew has one of these, and with good cause. The nicest thing that has happened to my morning routine is this $21 device. Every morning, I apply it to my face (particularly my puffy under-eyes) and it wakes me up like no amount of coffee can. I like how it cools you down while also allowing you to get some lymphatic drainage by rolling it up and down. You’ll want to try it even if you don’t believe you *need* it – my husband was stealing mine so much that I had to purchase him his own! When I leave on vacation, I really miss this tool. It is, without a doubt, the best. — Hayley Saltzman, social media manager

ReEmber Slip-Ons by Teva and Cotopaxi
This autumn, I wore these slippers almost every day. Whether I was walking my dog, going to the climbing gym, or going to the store around the block, they kept my toes warm when the temps began to drop. — Associate editor Kai Burkhardt

Pillow, Marlow
Marlow, a new brand from the makers of Brooklinen, has debuted, and I’ve had the opportunity to spend several nights with the Pillow, the company’s main product. To put it bluntly, I’m a Marlow convert. For my harder pillow preferences, it gives exactly the proper amount of support, but it’s actually made to accommodate any kind of sleeper. Why, for example, aren’t all cushions adjustable? — Senior commerce editor Chelsea Stone

Tuft + Paw Stellar Cat Bed
Any cat owner knows how difficult it is to locate a fashionable cat bed, so you can imagine my delight when I came upon this West Elm-inspired cat sanctuary. To begin with, my cat adores it. You may find her inside the orb (as I like to call it) for many hours a day, her small body a mere black blob on the plush fur cushion within. It took her a day to get acclimated to it, but it was nothing that a little catnip couldn’t remedy. It honestly makes me happy to look at it. There’s no turning back now. — Senior lifestyle editor Rachel Lubitz

Bidet Seat Alpha JX Electric
The Alpha JX, our selection for the finest overall bidet seat, is a fantastic bidet that gives a wonderful wash. Until this year, I hadn’t used bidets much, but after testing 17 for this piece, I’m a big believer. The Alpha JX is especially appealing since it can provide you with rapid, endless hot water, a function usually reserved for bidets costing hundreds of dollars more. — Associate editor Kai Burkhardt

Blanket Lovesac Footsac
They were successful. The apparently unsolvable issue of frigid feet poking out from behind a throw blanket has been addressed by Lovesac. The bottom of this ingenious Footsac features a built-in pocket where you can slip your feet to keep them toasty and covered in comfortable, blankety warmth. Footsac is to be praised. — Chelsea Stone, commerce senior editor

Beats by Dre Fit Pro
I’ve probably tested out more wireless earphones this year than I have in my whole life, and I believe I’ve finally found the ones I’ll wear for the rest of my life. It all began when I switched from my beloved AirPods Pro to the Jabra Elite Active 75t earlier this year, owing to the latter’s greater noise suppression and controls. However, I began to miss the conveniences — as well as the easier connection — that came with using a set of Apple earphones with an iPhone. So when the Beats Fit Pro arrived at my flat late last year, I felt like I’d finally found the perfect balance.
The Fit Pro has almost all of the major features of the AirPods Pro, including as dependable active noise suppression and a Transparency mode for magnifying the outside environment. They’re also available in a variety of hues, including a stunning Stone Purple that’s a nice departure from my basic white AirPods. Oh, and they’re $50 less expensive. More than a month after originally reviewing the Beats Fit Pro, I’m still wearing them and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. — Senior tech writer Mike Andronico
CNN
Dutch Baby Great Jones
At a Friendsgiving I attended, this cute tiny Dutch oven stole the show. I created a squash soup that went well with the mustard color. This Dutch oven is the one for you if you’re looking for an Instagram-worthy piece of cookware. — Associate editor Kai Burkhardt

Tuft + Paw Kip Cat Cushion
My cat is a total pampered brat. She already has the Stellar Cat Bed from Tuft + Paw, but now she may also relax on this Sherpa cat cushion. She now spends at least five hours a day in this gorgeous pouf after a day of getting acclimated to it. She also looks adorable in it. — Senior lifestyle editor Rachel Lubitz
CNN/Chelsea Stone
Balancing Mist by Oak Essentials
Jenni Kayne’s new skin care line just debuted, and after testing the whole collection, I can certainly state that, although all of the products are fantastic, the Balancing Mist and I are having a passionate love affair. This mist is the ultimate summer face refresher, with nutrients like antioxidant-rich aloe leaf juice, healing rose water, and moisturizing glycerin, and I can’t get enough of its mesmerizing botanical aroma. I’ve started keeping the bottle on my desk and spritzing myself throughout the day when I need a boost. — Chelsea Stone, commerce senior editor
CNN/Rachel Lubitz
Necklace with a Name Disc made by Mary
When it comes to gifting, I’m a sucker for a customized jewelry. Made by Mary is a charming boutique jewelry store with a plethora of unique jewelry possibilities. This disc necklace has left a lasting impression on me. It’s tiny enough that others must strain to read what’s written on it, making it seem even more personal and unique. You may also personalize the metal and the length, making it seem much more costly than it is. — Senior lifestyle editor Rachel Lubitz
CNN/Kai Burkhardt
4.0 Whoop Strap
For the last several months, I’ve been trying the Whoop Strap 4.0, and it’s a significant improvement over the Whoop 3.0. (which I reviewed earlier in the year). The gadget is now smaller and more pleasant to wear on your wrist, the battery pack is now waterproof, and there’s even a haptic alarm to wake you up in the morning. — Associate editor Kai Burkhardt

One Travel Carrier in the Wild
Taking my cat, Phoebe, on a cross-country journey back to her home is usually stressful for me. (Normally, Phoebe is OK.) My most recent journey with her was no exception: we were delayed for five hours, but the Wild One Travel Carrier saved the day. I was able to unzip the carrier into a covered cat bed with a soft cushion while we were stuck in the airport, giving her space to stretch out and get some fresh air (the internal leash clip came in useful; I could allow her a little freedom to walk without fearing she’d run away). Plus, the several compartments — including a cell phone pocket — made it easy for me to have her supplies on hand, like as snacks and wipes, and the sleeve slipped over my suitcase handle to keep her safe while I pushed her around throughout the travel. — Chelsea Stone, commerce senior editor
CNN/Stephanie Griffin
Crate of Fables
If you’re looking for a present for a pet parent who is also design-conscious, the Fable Crate (which also serves as a side table) is a must-have. It’s made of excellent bent wood and comes with a transparent acrylic or metal sliding door as an alternative. It’s fashionable, yet it’s also basic enough to fit into any décor scheme. And, even better, my dog loves to sleep inside it since it is so warm and dark! — Stephanie Griffin, a digital content strategist, is a senior member of the team.

Wave Solo by Theragun
The Therabody Wave Solo, which is essentially a palm-sized massage ball that vibrates to help you loosen up those pesky knots, was one of my favorites. It may be used as a roller and massaged almost anyplace, but I really like using it as a wrist or hand massager at my computer. The ball has a precise area that dampens any vibrations, allowing you to keep it on your desk without tipping your computer over. — Kai Burkhardt, assistant editor

Queen Casper Nova Hybrid Snow Mattress
After seven years of sleeping on a plain old spring mattress (which had a visible permanent dent in the center), I decided to change to Casper’s Nova Hybrid Mattress with cooling Snow technology during my recent relocation. Wow is all I have to say. First and foremost, the mattress came wrapped up in a box – the height of ease and unquestionably the most straightforward component of my relocation. The Nova is very luxurious while remaining supportive, and the addition of the Snow technology has been a dream (pun intended) amid New York City’s recent scorching summer heat. Our entire review of Casper’s Cooling Collection can be found here. — Chelsea Stone, commerce senior editor

The Reversible Mat from Lululemon is a 5mm thick reversible mat by Lululemon.
Our vote for greatest yoga mat of 2021 is Lululemon’s reversible yoga mat, so I should have known it would be a game changer. After a pandemic’s worth of at-home exercises on my old, generic yoga mat, I decided to invest on the pink marbled edition of Lululemon’s mat. It’s not only really cushiony, grippy for better balance, and large enough for me to stretch out on, but it also looks great in the corner of my living room. — Senior commerce editor Chelsea Stone

Colorfulkoala Women’s Seamless High-Waisted Leggings
I’ve tried a lot of leggings, and these are the ones I keep going back to. I’m not afraid to confess that I have four pairs of leggings and four pairs of biking shorts at this point. Lululemon is one of my favorite brands, but these inexpensive leggings from Amazon are by far my favorite. I’ve had multiple pairs for about a year, and they’re still in terrific form despite virtually daily usage (for jogging, working out, doing errands, and working from home). They’re buttery soft and seem much more costly than they are, PLUS they have POCKETS. I want a legging that is structured and supportive without being suffocating, and these are just that. If I could, I would wear these leggings every day. I do, in fact. And I don’t have any regrets. — Hayley Saltzman, social media manager

West & Willow Custom Cat Portrait
Did I mention my cat is a total spoilt brat? Oh, yep, we’re back at square one. Eartha had to be presented to a bespoke painting of herself as well, in recognition of her continuing to be the finest roommate I’ve ever had. All I had to do was email West & Willow a couple photos of her, and this stunning framed digital photograph came in less than two weeks. The frame was of good quality, and it arrived with plastic plates instead of glass, which I like since Eartha has a propensity of knocking paintings off the walls. (She also works as an interior designer on the side.) She’s obviously a huge admirer as well. — Senior lifestyle editor Rachel Lubitz

OLED Nintendo Switch
As I discovered over my two months with the Nintendo Switch OLED, a fresh screen may make all the difference. The newest Switch model boasts a redesigned display that’s both larger and bolder, with richer colors and deeper blacks that make it easier to immerse yourself in titles like Metroid Dread and Tetris Effect: Connected.
I’ve found myself going back to old games simply to check how they appear on Nintendo’s new screen, and I often play in handheld mode even when my TV is nearby – the screen is that fantastic. When you add in a much-improved kickstand and a more polished design, the Switch OLED is the way I want to play my Switch games for the foreseeable future, and it makes my launch model appear ancient and boring in contrast. — Senior tech writer Mike Andronico

Waffle Robe with Parachute
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this is by far the best robe available. Why? Because it’s the ideal robe for all seasons. It’s light enough to wear in the summer, yet thick enough to keep me comfortable when the weather dips. And, unlike other robes, the Parachute Waffle Robe also serves as a towel, quickly drying me after a shower. It has two pockets and a strong waist belt, as well as being machine washable (check, check, check!). I recommend that you complete all of your Christmas buying in one go since everyone on your list will appreciate it! — Stephanie Griffin, a digital content strategist, is a senior member of the team.

Brooklyn Candle Studio is a candle-making studio in Brooklyn, Candle by Brooklyn Escapist
Despite the fact that I seem to never have enough candles in my life, this is the candle that I burnt the quickest this year. Unlike many others, the aroma varied as the candle burnt. There was an initial layer of orange blossom and neroli, followed by a dreamy layer of leather and cassis, and ultimately, patchouli and wild sage on its final days of burn. I truly wish more candles had layered fragrances like this, since for a candle enthusiast like myself, the experience was priceless. — Senior lifestyle editor Rachel Lubitz

Texturizing Sea Salt Spray with Odele Air Dry Styler
Since I initially tried these two hair products in June, I’ve used them virtually every day. Because my hair is naturally big and fluffy, these products provide just enough structure and grip when I air-dry it (which, again, is pretty much every day). When I air-dry my hair, I leave it curly, and it appears deflated and poufy by the end of the day if I don’t use an air-dry spray. All I have to do with this styler and sea salt spray is smooth and spritz, then let my hair air dry, and it looks better than it has in the past. I’m head over heels in love. They’re also incredibly inexpensive, made by a woman-owned business, and available at Target. Thank you very much. — Hayley Saltzman, social media manager
HigherDose
Infrared Sauna Blanket by HigherDose
This is without a doubt one of my favorite goods of the year. It’s also the ideal present for someone who is health- and wellness-obsessed, or maybe even the person who has everything. This popular portable item is an infrared blanket that I use in my living room every night for brief 45-minute sweat sessions. It aids in the detoxification of the body, the relaxation of the mind, the improvement of your mood, and the promotion of bright skin… The list could go on and on. It’s a bit of a splurge, but I think it’ll be well worth it! — Stephanie Griffin, a digital content strategist, is a senior member of the team.

Skate High-Top Sneaker P448
These are my go-to sneakers when I want to feel comfortable but still fashionable and put-together, which is about all of the time. The Sherpa detail is lovely, as is the glittery tag, but my favorite feature is how comfy they are. Each sole has additional cushioning for support, and the secret zip side clasp makes these very simple shoes put on. I’ve been wearing these throughout autumn and into winter – they’re easy to pair with practically any outfit, but the colorful accents elevate them beyond the ordinary white shoe. — Hayley Saltzman, social media manager
