Though best known for expanding the limits of human thought, the great philosophers were also ardent proponents of skin treatments—rarely furrowing their brows without first applying a de-furrowing cucumber mask. Today’s Groupon will wipe out your own philosophical furrows and hairy conundrums with beautifying treatments at Bella D'ora Spa & Salon in Carlsbad. Choose one of two pampering options:
- For $149, you get a Brazilian blowout treatment (a $300 value), plus 10% off Brazilian blowout products
- For $49, you get a four-layer facial with an eyelift treatment (a $125 value)
If you opt for the Brazilian blowout, Bella D'ora's stylists will smooth your hair into submission using a special formula. Capable hands will shampoo hair with a specially formulated wash before leading locks in a rinsing, coating, and flat-ironing ring-around-the-rosy. The multi-step treatment wraps each hair in a protective protein shell, flattening the cuticle in an enthusiastic bear hug. After the final blow-dry, hair emerges from its damp cocoon, ready to spread straight new wings. Whether your locks came in curly like gift-wrapping ribbons or frizzier than electrocuted steel wool, a 90-minute treatment leaves them smooth and shiny for up to 12 weeks. And since time and follicle growth wait for no man, Bella D'ora's fully stocked boutique provides a line of professional products, from shampoos ($34) to serums ($38), to lengthen your blowout's life. All products are açai-based, resulting in healthy tresses that gratefully hug the scalp.
Guests who prefer the facial treatment will enjoy a skin-loving session that uses natural ingredients to boost the appearance of skin. A supergroup of components including vitamin C, active enzymes, and green tea tour the face, speeding cell turnover and brightening the skin. The included eyelift gives peepers a youthful boost while keeping them firmly ensconced below the hairline. After the 50-minute procedure, skin appears tighter and gives off a luminous glow sure to attract ardent glances and sonnet-bearing fireflies.

The Groupon Guide To: Skeletons
In Mexico, today begins the celebration of Día de los Muertos —Day of the Dead. Families gather to revere departed loved ones, and everyone surrounds themselves with delicious candied skulls and other festive skeleton imagery, making Day of the Dead the safest time of year to encounter a skeleton. But what should you do if you meet a skeleton on one of the other 249 days of the year?
- Lull the skeleton to sleep by playing a soothing xylophone melody on its ribcage.
- Trick the skeleton into pursuing you into a dog park, where he will be hastily disassembled and buried.
- If famed film director Tim Burton is around, he will likely become so enraptured by the skeleton that he will try to marry it.
- Donate the skeleton to a local medical college so that students can use it for their annual bone fight.
- Trick the skeleton into being eaten by a different skeleton—he's clearly starving!
