After a long day of besieging steppe settlements, the Mongol hordes liked to kick back with a vigourous massage, a copy of the Daily Khan, and a nice warm glass of fermented yak's milk. Conquer your own serenity with today’s Groupon: for $55, you get a pedicure and refreshing facial at Fruition Day Spa in North Vancouver (a $125 value).

Fruition Day Spa pampers respite seekers with quality skincare products, elite digit detailing techniques, and a luxurious ambience. The two-hour, two-part appointment begins with a pedicure (a $53 value), during which feet experience refined treatment and a colourful nail dusting, necks enjoy a heated wrap with scented oils, and lips sip on a warm cup of tea. Next, a refreshing facial rids begrimed cheeks of dirt and pore stowaways with deep cleansing, exfoliation, a facial massage, and mask (a $72 value). Strained paws also receive a hand massage to help relieve stress and memories of devastating thumb-wrestling losses. To accommodate late-night appointments, the spa is open until 8 p.m. Monday–Thursday by request.
