In one of the most miraculous transformations in the natural world, an ugly caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon and emerges six to eight weeks later as either a beautiful butterfly or a much uglier caterpillar. Revel in a more predictable and effective beautifying treatment with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an inch-reduction detox body wrap ($100 value) at Beautiful Solutions in Cedar Park.

At Beautiful Solutions, beauty seekers acquire lustrous and toxin-free skin without transplanting their brains into metallic exoskeletons that attract refrigerator magnets. Each body wrap utilizes a blend of 27 select minerals and herbs mixed with aloe vera to heal and nurture absorbent skin. During the treatment, the body is covered in special towels soaked in a mineral and herb solution, and the senses are soothed by aromatic scents. Skin emerges toned and firm, but not likely to bully hair follicles and take their lunch money. Drinking eight glasses of water per day for the next five days facilitates the detoxification process and helps maintain a sleek and revitalized muscle holster. Male patients must bring swimming apparel for the treatment.

As a locally owned skin-smoothing abode, Beautiful Solutions boasts state-of-the-art beautification equipment and an experienced staff of licensed aestheticians. Professional skin-care products help treat weathered skin, vanquish toxins, and apply striking sheen more effectively than wood polish or recycled motor oil. Like the receipts, crumbs, pennies, and lint that linger in the depths of a purse, toxins and dirt can clog pores and form a crusty mask over sensitive skin. Today's Groupon to Beautiful Solutions dumps the skin purse upside down, shakes out the crumbs, and wipes away the grossness.
