Like ripened fruits, people with healthy-coloured skin are more likely to be asked to pose for still-life paintings and get picked up at the grocery store. Catch the eye of passersby with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get either 150 minutes of UV tanning or two spray-tan sessions at Tan de Soleil (up to a $68 value). This Groupon is valid at the locations in Calgary, Surrey, Port Moody, Langley, and Vancouver.
Tan de Soleil equips hue heighteners with a Smart Tan–certified staff and the equipment necessary to transform complexions into glows. For a quick coat of colour, opt for two spray-tan sessions, during which a VersaSpa spray chamber opens its doors to awaiting clients and sprinkles a light mist that bronzes skin in a preferred tint and provides anti-aging moisturizers. The treatment lasts just 60 seconds and dries speedily, eliminating the need for downtime before rolling in a meadow of dry-clean-only grass. For a more leisurely route to a lingering glow, clients can opt for 2.5 hours of UV tanning, relaxing in the salon's sophisticated line of lay-down and stand-up devices. Timing varies for the different types of beds, and minutes may be used up faster on premium and stand-up models. All of Tan de Soleil's vanities are fully equipped with complimentary toiletries, making this Groupon an ideal gift for a pallid friend who fatefully missed out on a hotel-crawl in Fiji.

The Groupon Guide to: Stain Removal
Though some people wrap their furniture in clear plastic to shield the fabric from spills, muddy children, and Pavlov's dogs, they can't protect their clothing in the same manner. Should you accidentally soil a garment, follow these tips to avoid having to throw it in your nearest landfill:
Red Wine: Just like a tattoo, the longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove. Red Dye #40, the colouring agent that gives wine its reddish hue and was used to stain toy fire trucks in the '50s, will begin to set as it absorbs sunlight. This is why red wine must be bottled in a sun-proof, dark-coloured glass and only poured either at night or in a dark place, such as a bathroom or playground tube slide. Solution: Spill white wine over the blemish to reverse dye it.
Motor Oil: Because most toasters are now powered by two-stroke engines, anyone who prefers artificially staled bread is susceptible to oil stains and inhaled combustion gas. Motor oil can be a challenge to remove because its primary ingredient is vegetable oil, which repels water. Solution: Toss it on a fire. The heat will lower the viscosity of the oil, thinning it to the point that it will effortlessly evaporate off your clothing.
Sweat: Sweat is considered to be the most embarrassing stain, as it's not an indication of one's clumsiness while eating but of one's body composition being too acidic, a product of either a mineral deficiency or licking corroded batteries. Solution: Cut the stains out of your clothes. This gets rid of the stain and gives you a fashionable look that builds self-confidence, which is the number-one doctor-recommended method of preventing excessive sweating.
