Paraffin treatments complete the 90-minute services by steeping hardened outer shells in skin-softening tubs of wax.

A dose of history can stop mistakes from the past from reoccurring, just as a trip to the future can help skip over the part where you have to apologize. Relive someone else's past with today's Groupon to the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get a guided tour for two adults (a $20 value).
• For $12, you get a guided tour for a family of two adults and two children (a $25 value).

The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site maintains historic headquarters in a home formerly owned by Ansley Wilcox, a contemporary of Roosevelt's who hosted the former president's oath-signing ceremony in 1901. Groups of up to 15 people embark on one-hour guided tours, traversing rooms such as the formal dining room, where Roosevelt won America's first hot-dog-eating contest, or the Morning room, where he penned his first official presidential proclamation. The residence's second floor houses a recreation of Roosevelt's White House office, where guests can take a seat at a presidential desk equipped with a touch-screen computer allowing digital exploration of Roosevelt's legislation. Inside the home's Issues Theater, photographs of Roosevelt's political peers and favorite rock bands adorn the walls, and a Roosevelt-esque voice narrates what may have been his innermost thoughts during the time of his presidency. Tours take place hourly, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on weekdays and 12:30 p.m. on weekends. The last tour of each day begins at 3:30 p.m.

With Mixbook's photo-book services, you can instantly upload your treasured pictures and customize each with the easy-to-use Mixbook editor.

Mixbook uses archival-quality silk paper to ensure that sentimental snapshots have a glossy look and feel. Capture the moment the bride said "I do" with a professional-quality wedding picture book, or encapsulate baby's first word—"mitochondria"—with a baby memory book.

Dancing is a healthy way to physically connect to someone, preferable to giving them a painful bear hug or sewing your head onto their body. Get cheek-to-cheek with today’s Groupon to Ballroom Dance Center Illiana in West Seneca. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get four newcomer group-class passes (a $40 value).
• For $39, you get two 30-minute private dance classes and one group class for two (a $100 value).

Ballroom Dance Center Illiana's instructors welcome inexperienced dancers to 45-minute newcomer classes where they explain how to execute displays of fancy footwork in a variety of styles. Students shake their legs and hips while following Latin-inspired forms of social rug-cuttery, such as the rumba or cha-cha. Fast-paced salsa lessons teach traditional Cuban and Dominican moves that can be put to use in dance clubs or Twister tournaments. Dancers have fun trying to keep up with playful swing choreography and embrace passion when striding through romantic tangos. Private lessons encourage couples to get closer together while studying their choice of dance style, which they can then use to strut circles around classmates in a group session.

Ice wine was once thought to come from the tears Greek god Dionysus cried upon learning that humans stomped on innocent grapes. Taste the essence of wine god emotion with today's Groupon to Niagara Fun Tours. Choose from the following options:

• For $49, you get a Winter Wine tour for one (a $111.87 value).
• For $79, you get a Winter Wine tour for two (a $223.74 value).
• For $138, you get a Winter Wine tour for four (a $357.08 value).

Each Winter Wine tour includes the following:

• Round-trip transportation from Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake
• Tastings at The Ice House Winery, Pillitteri Estates Winery, Joseph's Estate Winery, and Caroline Cellars Winery
• Northern Ice slushy tasting at The Ice House Winery
• Self-guided tours at each winery
• Tour of Chocolate FX factory

Niagara Fun Tours escorts flocks of oenophiles on day treks to sample ice wine and other vineyard bounties at four wineries studding the Niagara Wine Belt. Tour guests step into a mountain chalet atmosphere as they enter The Ice House Winery's rustic wood tasting bar and sample the winery's most piquant late-harvest wines and ice wines. Tongues plunge into the Northern Ice slushy, a frozen libation crafted from Northern Ice vidal blanc that, like a romantic comedy about star-crossed snowmen, cools and warms at the same time. Après-tasting, guests recline on warm leather couches or embark on a self-guided winery tour to learn how winemakers harvest frozen grapes and press them into their final liquid form. Transports then depart for Pillitteri Estates Winery, where riesling, chardonnay, and cabernet sauvignon, along with VQA ice wines, slosh into tasting glasses after their several-month hitchhike from the winery's 100 acres of plantings. For up to 40 minutes, guests can explore boutique shopping or bask in the building's blend of baroque and modern castle décor.

At Joseph's Estate Winery, guests gather around the tasting bar to run palates through a gauntlet of nationally recognized wines crafted to VQA standards. Over the course of 45 minutes, guests sip ice wines and late-harvest blends along with a limited edition Winter Festival of Lights reserve, which thrills taste buds more than actual winter lights. At the final stop, Caroline Cellars Winery's country atmosphere draws visitors across rolling fields into a rustic, wood farmhouse. Once inside the tasting bar, guests pique palates with four wine tastings, including one ice wine tasting.

Tours end with a challenge to wine's palate domination at Chocolate FX, where chocolate artisans fashion often-unconventional taste combinations using traditional panning and moulding techniques. Guests peek into the chocolate-making process and view panning in action on a guided tour, which culminates in free samples from more than 85 chocolates as well as screenplay ideas for a chocolate bar's bildungsroman. Attendees can substitute ice wine samples for red or white wines at any of the tour stops.

The tooth fairy still rewards adults who keep their teeth nice, leaving grownup gifts, such as issues of the Economist and Pontiac Azteks, under their pillows.

Stellar Dental Care's dental professionals boost the health and appearance of teeth with cosmetic and preventative treatments. A thorough exam explores mouth caverns in search of signs of gum disease and oral cancer, and X-rays reveal lurking tooth decay and allow John Madden to illustrate growth abnormalities on a telestrator. In a professional cleaning, technicians scrub plaque and tartar off tooth surfaces with precise dental instruments.

Alternatively, patients who choose the Zoom! whitening treatment amp up the wattage of their smile by up to eight shades with LED technology. In three 15-minute applications, the zoom light activates a hydrogen-peroxide-infused gel to break up stains caused by smoking, drinking red wine, and spray-painting teeth with red wine.

Live music is a huge improvement on canned music, which takes up valuable pantry space and often spoils into noxious free jazz.

Throughout the evening, the classical ensemble administers a musical makeover of The Dead's psychedelic jams, sewing symphonic measures into Phil Lesh's iconic bass lines and mimicking Jerry Garcia's face-melting riffs by setting cellos on fire. Grateful Dead tribute band Forever Young joins the orchestra on stage to help turn back the hands of time, and endorsement from the Grateful Dead's management prods fans young and old to reconvene for the one-night-only binge on infectious grooves and improvised air-oboe solos.
