The only thing more entertaining than attending a recreational event with like-minded people is watching as a recreational event of incompatible people self-destructs. Use today's Groupon to maintain harmony with humanity: for $25, you get a VIP ticket to the Pensacola Ladies Pamper Expo, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on December 18 at Gull Point Community Center (a $50 value).

The Pensacola Ladies Pamper Expo is a full day of relaxing services and fascinating presentations and activities for women. As the stressful holiday season threatens to choke away your cheer, relax with a massage, facial, or foot spa, or experiment with yoga, dancing, and mini hypnosis sessions. Sip on nonalcoholic champagne and taste from an assortment of chocolates before browsing dozens of vendors, with services ranging from nutritional consultations and mobile tanning to henna tattoos of Sanskrit cuss words. Watch speakers on skin care or Zumba, bid on the stainless-steel diamond-bezel Roven Dino watch in the MSBC charity auction, or enjoy a presentation by poi-dancing performance fire artists. In addition to a day full of pampering, the VIP ticket comes with a door prize ($30 value), a breast cancer awareness pin and bracelet, and a percentage of all sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
