Happy post-Thanksgiving Monday, everyone! If you spent the last several days eating all the turkey, marathoning movies, and curling up under the covers, coming back to work today was probably pretty rough. But fear not — the holidays are almost here, and you'll get plenty more time to be cozy on the couch before the year is over.

But what a day to come back to! With the newest royal engagement bringing everyone cheer, this week is off to a truly good start. Here's a recap of everything to know from today, Nov. 27:

Prince Harry + Meghan Markle

Unless you stayed away from the internet all day, you've definitely heard by now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged (and that her ring is totally gorgeous). The royal couple announced the news early Monday morning, and gave an adorable joint interview addressing their engagement later in the day. Congrats to the happy duo.

FYI: Here's everything we know so far about Harry and Meghan's wedding, set to occur in spring 2018. Mark the calendars!

Cyber Monday + What To Buy

The workday may be over, but there are still several hours left of Cyber Monday, so get shopping! If you're not sure where to start, don't worry — here are all the best Cyber Monday deals on Amazon.

Cyntoia Brown + New Updates

After stars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna used social media to spread word about Cyntoia Brown, the sex-trafficking victim imprisoned for shooting a man who had hired her for sex, there are some positive updates on the case. Kardashian's lawyers are apparently looking to help, and Brown's lawyer said that his client is aware of the new attention on her situation. Brown is currently appealing her sentence. Fingers crossed.

Word Of The Year: "Complicit," according to Dictionary.com, in some not-so-subtle shade to Ivanka Trump. Ahem.
