Hotel at a Glance: Casa del Mar Beachfront Suites

Just a few hundred feet from Casa del Mar Beachfront Suites, waves crash against the Galveston Seawall, and the wooden 61st Street Fishing Pier extends into the Gulf of Mexico. From here, you can easily cruise to year-round attractions such as Schlitterbahn Galveston Waterpark and Moody Gardens—both are less than 10 minutes away by car.

• Recent recognition: TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2014 and voted #1 Condo Rental in 2014 by Galveston.com
• Room with a view: Each one-bedroom suite has a full kitchen, free WiFi, and a private balcony looking out onto the Gulf of Mexico.

Galveston, Texas: Exotic Animals, Water Parks, and Victorian Mansions on the Gulf of Mexico

Galveston occupies a barrier island roughly a half-hour drive from Houston. Its gulf beaches are bathed in sunlight more than 200 days of the year. Though Galveston’s climate is almost tropical, penguins waddle into chilly waters at the city’s most famous attraction, Moody Gardens. Nearby, saki monkeys roam a rainforest habitat, stingrays glide through a 1.5-million-gallon aquarium, and snow falls on moviegoers’ noses in a 4D theater. Another popular attraction is Schlitterbahn Galveston Water Park, where you can zoom down water slides and sidle up to a swim-up bar all year round.

Step back in time with a visit to downtown Galveston’s Strand District. Here, classic cars and horse-drawn carriages roll down streets lined with old-fashioned street lamps and elaborate Victorian mansions. These brick behemoths now house art galleries, antique stores, and shops selling homemade ice cream and handcrafted jewelry.

Hands are the astronauts of the body—the first explorers to make contact with whatever’s in its orbit—and feet are the blazing rockets that propel the body into space. Avoid letting your rockets burn out and fall off into the Atlantic Ocean with today’s Groupon to The Beauty Bar. Choose from the following options:

• For $ 25, you get a half-hour deluxe mani-pedi (a $ 58 value).
• For $ 39, you get a half-hour Shellac mani-pedi (an $ 80 value).
• For $ 69, you get a 45-minute Minx mani-pedi (a $ 140 value).

Seasoned aestheticians shape nails and trim encroaching cuticles to create symmetrical keratin canvases as clients consider a spectrum of polish colors for the deluxe mani-pedi. Alternately, Shellac coats add the security of lasting up to 14 days after drying with the speed of a juiced rabbit under patent-pending UV light technology. During the mess-free Minx manicure, a trend-savvy nail tech heats a flexible polymer before applying it to nails like a sticker. Minx manicures require no dry time, and clients can select from a variety of hyper-vivid colors and hypnotic patterns, finally allowing nails to match checkerboard pantsuits.

Hotel at a Glance: Krystal Beach Acapulco

Krystal Beach Acapulco stands tall in the Mexican sun, with Acapulco Bay and the Pacific coast in its front yard and a mountain range at its back. It isn’t just the view that makes it a prime location—it’s also close to Acapulco’s other beaches and non-stop night life. These elements combined have made the city one of Mexico’s top spring break destinations. No matter when you visit, you can indulge in fresh seafood and cool off with a tropical cocktail in the outdoor pool.  

• Room with a view: You can see Acapulco Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains from the window of your guest room.
• Grab a bite: La Palapa serves fresh seafood beachside, and Aquamarina offers international buffet cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Outdoor pool with pirate-themed water slide and infinity edge. Guests can also relax in a whirlpool tub.
• Drink up: Sip drinks in the pool and at the laidback lobby bar. 

Acapulco, Mexico: Beaches and Cliff-Divers on the Pacific Coast

During the 1950s and 1960s, as families were getting settled into the bi-level houses and subdivisions of suburban America, Acapulco started to become appealing as an exotic tropical locale, drawn by the bright blue waters that splashed against seaside cliffs. JFK honeymooned there, Elvis crooned there, and John Wayne built a hotel there. After some issues with overcrowding, Acapulco has recently reclaimed its luxurious reputation. Vacationers come to dig their toes into the sands at resorts on the edge of Acapulco Bay, or clink rum cocktails at a bluff-top night club.

There’s plenty to do other than lounge on the beach. La Quebrada Cliff stands at nearly 150 feet above the ocean in Old Town Acapulco, but that hasn’t stopped countless numbers of daredevils from diving off its lip into the Pacific since the mid-1930s. For a few bucks, you can grab a seat to watch the spectacle in person. Further inland in Old Town, buskers and street performers put on a lively display along the streets of the zocalo, or town square, which is set in front of 1930s Byzantine-style cathedrals and decorative stone fountains.

Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival

• Slayer: the double Grammy-winning outfit behind the seminal album Reign of Blood and one of “The Big Four” who defined the thrash-metal genre, Slayer’s furious speed and vicious guitar led the Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot to declare it “one of the great American rock bands of the last 30 years, forget about genre,” with the intensity of their live shows receiving accolades from Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer
• King Diamond: With a career that spans decades and a voice that scales multiple octaves, this face-painted vocalist garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal Performance for his 2007 full-length album, Give Me Your Soul…Please. As for what fans can expect to hear, King Diamond himself offers this cryptic hint: “The Puppet Master will be there with Grandma, and we will even go as far back in time as 1777.”
• HELLYEAH: all-caps supergroup composed of vocalist Chad Gray of Mudvayne, guitarist Tom Maxwell of Nothingface, guitarist Christian Brady of Magna-Fri, bassist Kyle Sanders of Bloodsimple, and drummer and local legend Vinnie Paul of Damageplan and Pantera.

Port Arthur, Texas: Fishing and History on the Louisiana Border

Port Arthur neighbors not one, but two bodies of water—the Gulf of Mexico and Sabine Lake—as well as a picturesque stretch of wetlands, so you’re never more than a few blocks from the waterfront. Not surprisingly, fishing is one of the main pastimes here. You can cast for speckled trout and flounder from fishing piers in Sabine Lake or charter a deep-sea fishing excursion into the Gulf of Mexico. If fishing’s not your thing, you can go shelling and birdwatching along 5.2 miles of sandy beaches or kayak through the wetlands at Sea Rim State Park, just south of town.

If it’s history you seek, be sure to visit the Museum of the Gulf Coast. The museum’s unique mix of historical and pop-culture exhibits includes the largest indoor mural in the state, an 18th-century Spanish anchor, and a replica of Janis Joplin’s 1965 Porsche. A mile down the road, you can tour another replica: Pompeiian Villa was built in 1900 to resemble the villas of ancient Pompeii.

Chapter Two

This semi-autobiographical romantic comedy from Neil Simon (Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple) tells the story of George Schneider, a recently widowed middle-aged writer who’s still coping with his wife’s untimely passing. After trying, and failing, to get back on the dating scene, his brother Leo introduces him to soap opera actress Jennie Malone, who’s just ended her six-year marriage to a football player. The sparks fly, but there are plenty of emotional obstacles to overcome as George and Jennie try to start Chapter Two of their lives. Ripe with Simon’s trademark witty dialogue and heart-tugging scenarios, Chapter Two scored a Tony Award nomination for Best Play upon it’s debut in 1978, and has endeared for nearly four decades, spawning a hit film adaptation starring James Caan and even inspiring the plot of a Seinfeld episode.

Victoria, Texas: Riverside Parks and Locally-Minded Museums

Even in the dead of winter, it rarely dips below 60 degrees in Victoria. Fine weather aside, there are myriad other reasons to spend time outside in this quaint town between Houston, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi. The first reason is Riverside Park, where you can explore forests, smell the flowers in the rose garden, and kayak down the Guadalupe River. You’ll also find the Texas Zoo and their lions, bengal tigers, and alligators here.

The city has a handful of cultural attractions. See modern and classical art at the Nave Museum, named after Texan artist Royston Nave.

Cellulite: Anatomy of the Dimples

Cellulite doesn’t have a cure, but science has developed treatments that, in some cases, can help minimize it. Learn what lies just beneath the skin with Groupon’s take on the bumpy bodily phenomenon.

Colloquial language has come up with a number of not-so-flattering terms to describe cellulite, but beyond its aesthetics, cellulite poses no particular risk. Put simply, cellulite is the bumpy texture produced by fatty deposits resting just below the epidermal surface. As the skin thins with age, cellulite often becomes more visible: as fat bulges outward and the connective tissue reaching down to the muscle tugs back, the surface of the thighs, buttocks, belly, or upper arms forms little dimples. More common in women than men thanks to their thinner skin, higher levels of estrogen, and characteristic patterns of fat distribution, cellulite has myriad causes that range from hormonal changes to diet, genetics, and blood circulation.

Because cellulite’s structure is so complex, it’s not easy to attack—even invasive methods such as traditional liposuction leave cellulite in place. Although it’s just about impossible to prevent cellulite from forming, doctors and aestheticians have proposed a variety of ways to diminish its appearance. From lasers that break apart fatty deposits to retinol creams to massage techniques that increase the flow of blood to cellulite-ridden areas, the med-spa bag of tricks is deep and eclectic. Because many of these treatments are quite new, it’s often difficult to judge their long-term permanence. Although diet and exercise won’t remove cellulite, they may make it less noticeable through weight loss, increased muscle tone, or the fact that you’re jumping on that trampoline too quickly for anyone to tell.

Tedeschi Trucks Band: Wheels of Soul Tour

• Tedeschi Trucks Band: self-described as an “11-piece band that booms like a soul thunderclap,” they deliver Grammy-winning blues jams steered by the growling vocals of singer Susan Tedeschi and her slide-playing hubby Derek Trucks
• Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings: boldly brassy funk and soul band, heard on countless film soundtracks, late night shows, and commercials, whose frontwoman went from being a Rikers corrections officer to a Grammy-nominated note-belter after backing soul icon Lee Fields
• Doyle Bramhall II: blues guitarist—and singer, bassist, drummer, and producer—who strings his guitar up-side down, and fronts the band Arc Angels when he’s not collaborating with Eric Clapton or playing solo

Groupon Says

Country music has been described as “three chords and the truth,” unlike the blues, which is known as “12 bars full of premeditated lies.” Hear some honesty with this GrouponLive deal.

• $ 50 for a $ 50 Landry’s restaurant eGift card and one 8”x10” custom canvas from Picture It On Canvas ($ 101 value)

Give Mom an unforgettable experience this Mother’s Day by treating her to dinner at one of Landry’s restaurants and giving the gift of a lasting memory with a custom photo canvas from Picture it on Canvas.

Using the website’s simple interface, visitors upload the pictures of their choice and can adjust the placement before sending them off for printing. Once finished, the canvases are stretched and wrapped across .75” thin bars, allowing the works to be hung without the need for a frame or dried macaroni border.

Landry’s, Inc.

Landry’s, Inc. operates more than 30 restaurant brands with only two main goals: good food and good memories. Thankfully, each of their venues has a signature element that’s hard to forget, whether the Oceanaire’s fresh seafood—flown in daily—or Rainforest Cafe’s animatronic wildlife that’s almost as realistic as the Amazon’s wind-up monkeys. Steak and seafood spots feature prominently on the list of Landry’s locations, including Morton’s The Steakhouse, Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse, and McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks. But there are standouts in other genres, too, such as the Italian trattoria known as Grotto.

Picture It On Canvas

Picture It On Canvas has been turning photos into handcrafted works of art since 2007 from their headquarters in San Diego, California. The company takes customer-uploaded photographs and prints them on archival-quality material such as canvas, metal, and hand-chiseled slate, forging a durable keepsake for customers to hang on their walls or dangle from the grills of their automobiles. Buyers can also blend several images into a collage or divide one photograph into four color schemes with a kaleidoscopic piece of pop art.
