They will also gently cleanse and condition leather, vinyl, and wood surfaces. The exterior detail's two-hour service starts as technicians hand wash entire auto-body surfaces, resparkling windows and dressing tires before buffing on Meguiar’s wax and applying protective paint sealant. Auto owners who opt for the VIP detailing package get all of the aforementioned services, ensuring cars' insides and outsides sparkle more than a diamond baron’s scepter.

For $99, you get five laser hair-removal treatments on a small area (a $750 value). Click here for a list of available treatment areas.

Under the guidance of Dr. Tiffany N. Hall, the staff at Revitalize MD MedSpa and Laser Center uproots unwanted dermal underbrush with laser hair-removal treatments powered by one of two Candela laser systems. First, specialists carefully calibrate the laser's pulse to better target fuzz on the patient's individual skin tone and ensure optimum comfort. The specialized handpiece then travels over bristle fields, zapping unwanted hairs with a powerful burst of energy to disable each follicle and dash its hopes of visiting family in the ears. As the laser works its magic, patients may feel a slight sting, which can be quickly ameliorated with the handpiece's pre-pulse cryogen spray. The treatments are effective on most skin types and tones, leaving patients with little to no downtime afterwards.

$59 for a Photo-Shoot Package with Prints from Little Rascals Photography in Mason ($232 Value)

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:01:32 +0000

Photographers preserve subjects' precious memories, abolishing the need to hastily scoop reflections out of nearby fountains. Seek permanence with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a photo-shoot package at Little Rascals Photography in Mason (a $232 value). The package includes the following:

A photo shoot
One 8"x10" print, two 5"x7" prints, and eight wallet-size prints of one pose in black and white or color

Little Rascals' seasoned shutterbug, Tracy, captures fleeting memories in their natural habitats, snapping up shots and holiday portraits of families and groups against a variety of studio backdrops or in Sharon Woods Park’s idyllic historical village. Tracy sets up stately senior portraits, snaps shots of newborns in their Easter finery, or pins down photos of smiling Mother’s Day moments before Grandma’s lycanthropy kicks in. In April–November, weather permitting, subjects can decamp to the stunning Heritage Village Museum in Sharon Woods Park, where the natural beauty of cottages, picket fences, and branches laden with freshly grown butlers make photos even more timeless.

After placing an 8"x10" print on the mantel, arranging two 5"x7" prints on a table, and tucking eight wallet photos into unsuspecting pocketbooks, photographees can order extra prints à la carte from Little Rascals. Groupon holders can also gift today’s deal to friends so they can fill frames with holiday photos of their own family, instead of trying to find stock images that resemble them.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Little Rascals Photography a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.

Four, Six, or Eight Microdermabrasion Treatments or Resurfacing Peels at Face It Spa (Up to 80% Off)

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:00:58 +0000

A face can both hide and reveal a person's age, just as a hand can both hide and reveal a child's nose after an uncle has mysteriously removed it. Keep your age-indicator fresh with today's Groupon to Face It Spa. Choose from the following options:

For $99, you get your choice of either four microdermabrasions or resurfacing peels (a $380 value).
For $129, you get your choice of either six microdermabrasions or resurfacing peels (a $570 value).
For $149, you get your choice of either eight microdermabrasions or resurfacing peels (a $760 value).

Face It Spa's rejuvenating services take place inside a loft-like space with "beautiful" exposed-brick walls, according to the Chic This Week blog on Cincinnati.com. In preparation for treatments, epidermis aficionados first examine complexions before cleansing skin with PCA skincare products. Microdermabrasions then shower skin with a deluge of microcrystals that wash away dead cells, helping fade acne scars, signs of sun damage, and chalk-scrawled hopscotch courts from facescapes. Peels more deeply exfoliate the epidermis with a customized serum based on the needs of each client's complexion, though the gentle treatments still require little to no downtime. Each of the offered services draws to a close with a moisturizing elixir.

$20 for $40 Worth of Flowers and Gifts from FTD

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:01:40 +0000

Fresh flowers spruce up Valentine's Day dates easier than making your own candy or paying your nephew to dress as a Cupid-themed living statue. Arm yourself with amorous bouquets with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of flowers and gifts from FTD. FTD offers same-day delivery in most areas for orders placed by 2 p.m. in the recipient’s time zone.

FTD steeps rooms in the fresh scents of spring with hundreds of thoughtful bouquets delivered by artisan florists or sheathed in gold organza and shipped in an award-winning gift box. Yield to Cupid’s arrow and persistent text messages by presenting a loved one with an FTD-exclusive Sweethearts bouquet, a heart-hued collection of red roses and burgundy mini carnations elegantly interspersed with sprigs of greenery in an etched glass vase ($44.99–$64.99). Or follow a more polychromatic path with the My Everything Valentine's Day bouquet, an unexpected marriage of deep-red roses and white Asiatic lilies ($29.99–$59.99). Red roses and pink lilies spring forth from a sculpted red vase in the Lasting Romance bouquet ($69.99–$94.99), and a spray of 12 long-stemmed roses ($49.99; $59.99 with vase) stands firmly on stems that measure around 16 inches without heels.

Live plants, such as orchids ($39.99+) or miniature roses ($19.99+), outlive their clipped comrades with a simple regimen of watering and pruning, and silk floral displays brighten up sunless corners and survive solely on nightly bedtime stories.

$29 for 12 Months of Online Meal Planning from eMeals ($58 Value)

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:01:16 +0000

Much like composing a will, composing a grocery list requires the foresight to know what your kids will want. Outsource an unpleasant task with today's Groupon: for $29, you get 12 months of online meal planning from eMeals (a $58 value).

Endorsed by financial author Dave Ramsey and highlighted on Oprah Winfrey's Life Lift blog, eMeals charts out a week's worth of dollar- and healthy-savvy dinner recipes to relieve the burden of kitchen-related stress. Each week, organized grocery lists—customized by family size, dietary desires, and store preferences—showcase flavorful culinary creations for discerning palates. Plans developed by working parents capitalize on sale items at stores such as Wal-Mart and Kroger, and an "any store" list can be used to navigate the aisles of other favored grocers. Family meal plans serve seven meals for three to six people, whereas plans for two are tailored to singles, couples, or a pair of sock puppets on a date atop a chest of drawers.

Special vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb, low-fat, and portion-controlled meal-plan options aid nongeneric eaters in assembling targets for their teeth and postholiday fitness regimens. The Wal-Mart family plan supplies culinary sustenance to families of three to six for an average weekly cost of $75–$85 and takes advantage of the store's regularly discounted prices. A duo can fill a Publix cart for $35–$45 a week, including side dishes.

Born of founder Jane DeLaney's desire to feed her family stress-free dinners provisioned from an organized list without coupons, eMeals allows shoppers to spend more time at the table and less time wandering about the grocery store uttering monophonic 10th-century chants in dismay.

Mud Ninja Race Entry for Adult or Child on Saturday, July 28 in South Salem (Up to 61% Off)

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:01:25 +0000

Much like doing your taxes, finishing an obstacle course first requires stern dedication, mental fortitude, and bribes. Play dirty with today's Groupon to the Mud Ninja Extreme Challenge, held on Saturday, July 28, in South Salem, approximately 90 minutes south of Columbus. Choose between the following options:

For $7, you get entry for one child in Little Mud Ninja Challenge (a $14 value).
For $29, you get entry for one adult in the Mud Ninja main event (up to a $75 value).

Mud Ninja's obstacle-littered gauntlet challenges racers to conquer grueling terrain and muscle-straining roadblocks in an attempt to complete the 5K adventure course first, while raising money for Autism Speaks. Adult contestants dodge muddy balls thrown by spectators, crawl through mud pits covered with barbed wire, and scale steep walls before leaping onto multiple mounds that punish imbalanced racers with a splash. Those who drag themselves to the end of the course earn the title of Mud Ninja, winning a T-shirt, ninja-throwing-star medal, and admission to the victory party—a celebratory beer-and-eats fest hosted by 5-piece cover band Junk Box—plus a complimentary beer for participants 21 and older. Kiddie contestants can emulate their parent's performance in the Little Mud Ninja Challenge and combat less extreme impediments, such as balance beams, stacks of hay bales, and messy toy rooms in need of straightening.

Though Mud Ninja sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

The sizzling two-egg breakfast ($5.69) greets the sunrise with the appetizing scents of toast, home fries, and choice of ham, bacon, sausage, or goetta, and satisfying double-double-decker sandwiches ($5.99) fill lunch breaks with two choices of deli meat. In addition to celebrating Cincinnati cuisine with hometown favorites and dedicated sonnets, Empress Chili - Hartwell introduces taste buds to Greek-style gyros ($4.99) and New-York style reuben sandwiches ($6.99).
