i heart Olive Oil’s slippery wares continue a more than 8,000-year-old tradition of infusing human existence with the chartreuse-hued essence of one of nature’s most versatile fruits. Spain’s Surat extra-virgin olive oil, born from a fruity blend of subtly spicy Cornezuelo and highly aromatic Arbequina olives, fills a 500-milliliter tin with herbaceous notes of green apple and almonds for a complex yet balanced oil, ideal for coating fresh bread or sautéing finished memoirs. Customers can lather up with stone-crushed, cold-pressed oil hailing from Californian groves, carefully mingled with refreshing cucumber scents to create Calolea’s moisture-rich glycerin soap, which is hypoallergenic and gentle enough for babies to use while shaving. Alternatively, oil aficionados can shield delicate surfaces from the sun’s persistent stare with Badger SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunblock, rated among the best sunscreens by Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep 2011 safety profile. Backed by sun-scorning zinc oxide, certified organic ingredients—including extra virgin olive oil, cocoa butter, and golden yellow beeswax—deter damaging rays from entering skin’s stratosphere and resist water’s advances for up to 40 minutes at a time.

The Groupon Guide to: Kitchen Basics
Whether you're a master chef or you thought that kitchens were just an old wives' tale and are only learning that they're real right now by reading this, you need a few basic cooking utensils to help you turn worthless, disparate ingredients into useable food. Every kitchen must have:
- One saucepan. This is a pan that you can melt down into a sauce.
- Ten mixing bowls. This allows you to mix 10 different ingredients separately so that they don't have to touch and get all over each other.
- Between six and seven stoves. If a "recipe" (that's just a snobby word for "food instructions") calls for a dish to be cooked at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, it's actually much faster to cook it for 10 minutes at a time in three different ovens set to 100 degrees.
- One refrigerator full of sharp knives.
- One whisk so that guests will see it and think you must really be good at cooking.
- One cutting board, which is a wooden block filed down to a serrated edge. You use it to chop vegetables, but you'll also want to have some sort of mat or hard, flat surface to cut them on.
- A family of chickens. They make food—eggs!—and turn into food! They're awesome.
- Nine 1-gallon jugs of olive oil. This delicious flavoring is used in practically every food instruction to make the food taste like olives.
