Like fine marble statues, human bodies must be touched up on a regular basis lest their surfaces dull, their north sides moss, and their forearms fall off. Lavish your life vehicle with today's Groupon to Elite Skin Suite in Metairie. Choose between the following options:
• For $45, you get a Blueberry Detox or Coconut Hydrating body wrap (a $90 value).
• For $45, you get a Nutrient Splurge facial (a $90 value).
Elite Skin Suite's spa specialists concoct targeted skin treatments from fresh fruit and herbs. After a complimentary skin assessment, pro pamperers kick off the 75-minute body wrap with a dry brush exfoliation and blueberry or coconut sugar scrub that erode away roughness and peeling temporary tattoos of Chiquita Banana. The Coconut Hydrating option then swaddles bodies in a mango-enzyme wrap that infuses moisturizing memories of tropical beaches deep into the dermis, while the Blueberry Detox's slimming cocoon helps bodies sweat out toxins and deflate fat cells. Alternately, a one-hour Nutrient Splurge facial delivers a whopping dose of vitamin C to revivify dry, irritated skin and leave cheeks smelling like cups of fresh Tang.

The Groupon Guide to: Barbecue Secrets
Every barbecue joint boasts a secret ingredient or technique that makes its sauce unlike any other. Since most barbecue chefs have taken these secrets to the grave, here's a new list of public-domain barbecue secrets for the aspiring grillsman:
- Throw recipe thieves off your trail by filling your sauce with decoy ingredients such as talc, water, and heaping spoonfuls of rival sauces.
- Age your sauce in an oak cask for 15 years—it doesn't do anything, but you'll sure be hungry by then.
- Go bananas—add bananas to your sauce!
- BBQ is short for B.B. Queen—the wife of legendary bluesman B.B. King—and real barbecue sauce must contain exactly one of her soulful tears.
- As with success in any field, the real secret ingredient is confidence —except in barbecue sauces, in which it is horseradish.
