Highly functional hands are what separate man from the animals, giving humans an evolutionary edge with opposable thumbs and the ability to tell stories through shadow puppetry. Pamper built-in narrators with today's Groupon to Diva Nail Lounge. Choose between the following options:
- For $45, you get two Diva Cocoacarey pedicures (a $96 value).
- For $85, you get two Diva signature mani-pedis with oatmeal hand and foot scrubs (a $182 value).
An eco-minded salon, Diva Nail Lounge gives hands and feet a stellar glow in an environmentally friendly fashion with a slew of natural products. Feet slip into a bath of warm milk and rose petals during the Cocoacarey pedicure before a technician exfoliates away dead skin with an organic oatmeal sugar scrub. A moisturizing chocolate mask encircles weary shoe occupants in mood-elevating tryptophan, leaving feet softer than an overripe peach fresh from the dryer. Nail artists begin the Diva signature mani-pedi pamperfest with an organic citrus bath. After trimming and shaping nails, the shop's beauty experts groom unruly cuticles with almond oil and duly evict light calluses from overworked feet with a pumice stone. An exfoliating oatmeal scrub frees hands and feet from dry, crackly patches by hydrating, soothing, and energizing skin. With an aromatic boost from a honey avocado mask, a 15-minute reflexology massage relieves tension in both the hands and the feet, readying them for work, errands, or intense games of kick the can. Following the service, guests can admire phalanges newly decked out in a french-manicure design or coats of eco-friendly Spa Ritual nail polish.

The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend
Everyone secretly wants to believe in scary stories that might be true. Indulge your friends' gullibility with these tips to crafting the perfect urban legend:
• Make sure the story takes place somewhere nearby, on a similar night—ideally exactly 100 years ago to the night. Or on the devil’s birthday.
• Always include an animal that turns out to be a different animal or an animal where one does not belong—like a dog that is actually a rat, or an alligator in the bathroom of the Museum of Alligator Safety.
• Tweak the details—it's only a few letters’ difference to change "gardener" to "murderer," and only a small white lie to change "was valued by the community" to "possessed double hook hands and a thirst for marrow."
• Always carry "proof"—this can be a monster's tooth carved from soap, a faded newspaper article created in Photoshop, or a scrap of the victim's clothing that is actually just a scrap of clothing you ripped off a terrified hiker you chased through the woods.
