The Deal
$45 for a 60-minute shiatsu massage with aromatherapy ($95 value)
By focusing on the body's meridians through the ancient technique of acupressure, the hour-long shiatsu massage aims to boost overall energy and rid the physique of blockages. Clients lie under warm cotton sheets in the dimly lit massage room, basking in the sounds of soothing music as the massage therapist douses skin in oil to more easily knead muscles using the long, flowing strokes characteristic of Swedish massage. Meanwhile, focused pressure on individual meridians combines with reiki energy work to revitalize the body's spiritual elements. As muscle tension melts, senses ignite with an aroma chosen from mint, lavender, or rose absolute essential oils, which enhance the massage's holistic benefits and increase romantic chances with a beloved candle maker. Each scent boasts specialized benefits, as mint invigorates and works to relieve headaches and stress, while lavender calms and can help improve sleep. Meanwhile, the rose oil targets the heart, claiming to boost love energy and help subjects craft masterful construction-paper valentines.

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
