Like house parties, massages give people an excuse to forget about everyday stresses and fall asleep on someone else's table. Attend a fettle-ready fiesta with today’s Groupon: for $149, you get a champagne-and-rose Valentine's Day spa package at The Retreat Salon & Day Spa in Dublin (a $375 total value). The package includes:
- A 30-minute back, neck, and shoulder massage (a $60 value) with champagne-and-rose body butter and massage oils (a $15 value)
- A salt-glow back exfoliation (a $25 value)
- A 30-minute essential hydrating facial (a $60 value) with a custom mask (a $15 value)
- A champagne-and-rose-scented spa mani-pedi (a $125 value)
- A shampoo, blow-dry, and style (a $50 value)
- An eyebrow arch (a $25 value)
The Retreat's massage therapists and aestheticians relieve everyday stresses with a day of spa pampering spread through with roses. Patrons arrive 30 minutes before treatments to slide into a cozy robe and slippers, and indulge in a panoply of complimentary beverages and healthful snacks. Stress surrenders to an onslaught of gentle strokes and stern lectures to tendon-borne tension massages that target aches as champagne-and-rose-scented oils and body butter soothe the senses. A salt-based scrub exfoliates backs before clients flip over for a hydrating facial customized to each complexion's ailments. Staffers then coif eyebrows into pleasant arches to underscore newly styled hairdos. Spa retreats conclude with a champagne-and-rose-scented mani-pedi that smoothes heels and hands before polishing nails in bright hues. Groupon customers may spread the spa services out during multiple visits or redeem them all at once to recover after attempting to reenact the 12 labors of Hercules.
Though The Retreat Salon & Day Spa sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Office Icebreakers
Icebreakers help new hires get to know more tenured employees, and vice versa, by encouraging everyone to share personal info—such as names, hobbies, and places on their body that bruise easily—in a fun way. Here are some games you can use to make new best work friends:
Two Truths and a Lie: Share three facts about yourself and let the rest of the group tell you which one they had hoped you were lying about.
Never Have I Ever: Each person in the group is given 30 minutes to talk about things they never accomplished because of a lack of self-confidence or a disease that makes joints stiffen into mannequin limbs.
Ball, Ball, Bread Slice: Quickly pass a football, soccer ball, and slice of bread around a circle. If someone gets stuck with all three at once, the game is over.
Uh-oh, Emergency!: One person lies on the floor, pretending to be unconscious, while everyone else tries to guess the "unconscious" person's name. The person who guesses the name correctly has to "wake" the "unconscious" person by administering real CPR.
