In the Dark Ages, princesses exfoliated with Fabergé-egg dust and filed fingernails on the edges of gold doubloons. Revel in more modern and luxurious beauty treatments with today's Groupon to Planet Beach Contempo Spa, valid at the San Antonio location. Choose between the following options:
- For $39, you get one week of spa services for one person, valid for up to two services a day (up to a $546 value).
- For $69, you get one week of spa services for two people, valid for up to two services a day each (up to a $1,092 value).
Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the services. These friendly automatons facilitate everything from hydromassages to oxygen and UV therapy. Each machine is designed for a specific service, which makes it the ultimate expert and keeps it from developing the ability to cry. Moisturize with a 20-minute session in the Hydro-Derma Fusion pod, which bathes clients in infrared heat and nutrient-rich steam, cleansing the skin and readying pores to absorb products. Vibration massage and aromatherapy enhance the experience inside the SlimCapsule, a weight-management tool that also attacks muscle aches and pains.
Mystic spray-tan booths spritz skin with UV-free bronzer ($18–$24 extra per bronzer cartridge), and teeth-whitening stations brighten choppers by pairing peroxide with LED lights ($99 extra per teeth-whitening kit). A staff of helpful spa assistants is always on hand to answer questions, help first-timers use the machines, and keep things safe and comfortable.
Call ahead to make appointments; services are subject to availability.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman
Any fool with a pair of mittens can construct a passable facsimile of a human out of powdered frozen vapor, but it takes a true Picasso of precipitation to create a frosty masterwork. Follow these tips to create a snow sculpture that will endure forever, unless the temperature rises even slightly:
• Stack ‘em High: While traditional snowmen are comprised of three snowy spheroids stacked in ascending size for a more stable base and welcoming maternal curves, there’s no reason to stop there. Continue adding snowballs until your snowman is a gently tapering caterpillar towering gingerly into lower orbit—then decorate its face using a remote-controlled helicopter.
• Don’t Mess with a Classic: Carrot noses were introduced in the 1600s to ridicule Guy Fawkes, a famous waster of then-precious vegetables. Keep his legacy alive today by shoving a carrot into your snowman’s face. If unavailable due to rabbit plagues or juicing fads, just steal a traffic cone from your nearest miniature village.
• Attain Anatomical Accuracy: Keep your snowman’s proportions frighteningly human by having a friend volunteer to act as an armature for you to pack snow onto. He belongs to winter now.
