If you've ever sat beside a roaring fire, wishing its flame fingers would reach out and massage your aches and pains away, today's Groupon gives you all the warmth of a fire massage without the uncomfortable burns.: for $49, you get a one-hour hot-stone-reflexology treatment at Cove Wellness in La Jolla (a $98 value).
A tranquil oasis located close to the Pacific Ocean, Cove Wellness has nearly two decades of alternative health-care and detoxification experience. A 60-minute hot-stone-reflexology treatment transfers warmth from salt stones and crystals into muscles, joints, and bones without the trouble of fighting an arch nemesis atop a bubbling volcano. This soothing process can haul tension out of the body as the balmy rocks permeate musculature, soothing pain and channeling stress away while targeting the energy pressure points that work as the body's circulatory walkie-talkies. Cove Wellness takes a full-body approach to healing, using the reflexology treatment to balance the body's organs, glands, and muscles. The treatment can also improve circulation, boost the immune system, stimulate relaxation, and increase the speed of healing from emotional trauma incurred from failing to bet on the winning pinewood-derby racecar.

The Groupon Guide to: Constellations
Earth's sky contains well more than 70 constellations, many with confirmed shapes and names. Here's a handy guide to connecting the dots through your next constellation conversation:
• Though constellations primarily contain stars, the occasional Soviet satellite or ruptured gas main can create a cool animation effect, making Orion appear to shoot an arrow or Ursa Major demonstrate its powerful fire roar.
• Due to the Earth's rotation, no two countries share the same constellations. Natural curiosity about other skies has served as the catalyst for some of mankind's greatest inventions, including the Internet, commercial air travel, and military conquest.
• At 282 stars, the most complex constellation is the Fall of Perseus, a multiple-chapter cosmological pictogram of the Greek mythological hero's battle with chronic joint pain (and also lions). Containing just one star, the least complex constellation in the night sky is the moon.
• The light from "shining stars" is actually light that left those stars eons ago—by now the stars are smoldering husks of ash and ether. Would you want to grab a coffee off campus sometime and discuss our own insignificance?
