At Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, "all-inclusive resort" means much more than unlimited dinners and mai tais. Right in between the beach and the resort, you can learn how to trapeze at an open-air training facility surrounded by netting. Head up to the trapeze platform for a free lesson, and you can see the Caribbean Sea stretch out for miles right next to the resort's private, 5,000-foot stretch of pristine golden beach lined with palapas below.

The trapeze lesson is one of many ways the resort goes beyond the typical all-inclusive experience. When you're not relaxing at the beach, the all-inclusive plan frees you up to try a scuba-diving lesson, take yoga classes, climb a rock wall in the gym, or take in some live entertainment.

The beachfront resort is spread out like a small village, lined with flagstone pathways, landscaped gardens, three pools, and a shady coral stone grotto. At night, you can stop by the discotheque and dance to spicy meringue music, or head to the theater to enjoy a live performance of musicals such as Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. As the night winds down, stop for a midnight snack at the 24-hour pizzeria.

Guests can enjoy unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants and four bars, including La Terraza, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot that serves an international buffet. You can get a nice view of the sunset on the waterfront patio of La Roca Grill, which serves tropical cocktails and fried calamari.

Beachfront bungalows are located steps from the ocean, so guests can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and the squeals of dolphins watching horror films.

Bayahibe is situated on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The former fishing village remained relatively untouched by tourism until the late 1990s, when it became known for its white-sand beaches and scuba-diving sites, but it still has a tucked-away feel.

For diving and snorkeling, it's worth it to take a trip to Saona Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located just off the mainland. Tour operators on catamarans and motorboats will drop you around the area's sandbars and shipwrecks, which overflow with brightly colored fish.

About 20 miles (32 km) from the hotel, the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavon are lined with artists' studios, galleries, and quaint cafés. The European-inspired village is also home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, which has featured headlining shows from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra and Shakira.

Some body areas stubbornly hold on to excess weight, refusing to let go of pounds even when subjected to rigorous exercise or held upside-down and shaken. Let it go with this Groupon.

A technician passes a handheld ultrasonic energy device over problem areas, such as the abs, legs, and thighs. The noninvasive energy penetrates down to the fat cells, disrupting their membranes and causing them to release their fatty acids and glycerol into the body. The body then flushes away the released contents via the lymphatic system or burns them for energy. Clients should drink plenty of water the day before and after treatment to facilitate lymphatic flushing, and treatments should be spaced out over two–three days.

Perry Weight Loss & Nutrition Clinic scoffs at fast-action diet fads, electing instead to shepherd its patients to svelteness via healthful, maintainable weight-loss, fitness-training, and aesthetic services. A health-conscious staffer helps patrons uncover the best weight-loss path after analyzing their metabolic speed, lifestyle, hormones, stress level, and ongoing standoffs with neglected heads of broccoli. Whether they wield a single treatment or combine a handful of services, all of Perry's procedures chase the center’s core mission of helping clients ameliorate their health, life longevity, and overall sense of happiness.

Playing a round of golf is a contest between man and nature, much like betting a tree it can't drink a gallon of milk. Pit yourself against the elements with this Groupon.

Bent-grass fairways and pristine greens connect across 6,484 yards to form Sunset Valley Golf Course’s 18-hole, par-72 course. A stream runs diagonally throughout much of the course, which is made navigable by a series of bridges golfers can cross on foot, astride a peppy golf cart, or on the backs of caddies training to be models for rugby shorts. Golfers must give their clubs a pep talk for occasional high-pressure shots, as water hazards come into play on nine holes and bunkers loom throughout the layout. A staff of PGA professionals presides over the pro shop, ready to schedule lessons to remedy chronic slices and manage the delicate egos of short irons.

During colon hydrotherapy, a clinician introduces warm, filtered water into the large intestine to soften and loosen embedded waste material and toxins, encouraging the body to flush it out through natural elimination.

In addition, the expansive therapy center boasts an organic med spa with an array of soothing skin and body treatments, such as wraps, peels, and microdermabrasions.

Microdermabrasion makes faces look younger, allowing parents to pose as their own children during high-school football tryouts. Put on your game face with today’s Groupon to MG Rejuvenation Center. Choose from the following options:

Groupon customers may opt for three of the same treatment or mix and match different services.

The anti-aging experts at MG Rejuvenation Center help keep skin fit with flexible treatments that evolve to suit each client's specific needs and unique skin type. To begin, a clinician inquires into patient goals and may perform a comprehensive analysis to help build an individualized plan for skin health or tiny awnings to shade the forehead. Four types of custom facials purify the face, neck, back, and shoulders with products designed to hydrate dull dermal landscapes. Organic Ormedic facials gently brighten complexions with soothing essential oils and medical-grade peptides, whereas acne facials purge excess oil and buildup with a refreshing cocktail of retinol, enzymes, and benzoyl peroxide. For skin in need of resurfacing, chemical peels steep the epidermis in exfoliating formulas blended to refine texture and dissolve cells damaged by mild scarring, sun exposure, or cheek pinching from the wrinkled hands of Uncle Time. Vibraderm microdermabrasion treatments forgo sprays of potentially irritating microcrystals, instead relying on a textured wand to buff away dead tissue and restore a healthy tone. In addition to diminishing discoloration and acne, one exfoliation enhances absorption of topical products such as chemical peels, and three sessions may stimulate the skin to produce firming collagen.

Located one block east of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, Ivy Boutique Hotel opens in May 2012 as the newest work from Arthur Minor, who designed The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. With swanky amenities including mirror televisions and theater surround sound in all guest rooms, the hotel seems poised to become one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. Although the Ivy rises up 15 stories, there are only five guest rooms per floor, providing guests with a mixture of intimacy and comfort that makes it “the only true boutique luxury hotel in the city,” according to HotelChatter.

After guests check in via iPad, hotel staff members personally escort them to 675-square-foot king suites. A paragon of modern design, the suites contain platform beds with white leather headboards and floor-to-ceiling windows that open. Eco-friendly bamboo flooring, along with organic towels and rugs made from thistle, help to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint. Guests can watch the flat-screen TV set in the vanity mirror while getting ready in the morning or practice Tarzan-style affirmation chants in the rainforest shower.

The Ivy is also in the process of opening an intimate 30- to 40-person restaurant and bar on the first floor. "We will try to use as much organic produce as possible," manager James Cazares says of his upcoming, reservations-only hot spot. A rooftop lounge opening in June will offer picture-perfect views of the city.

Located north of downtown, Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood hugs the shore of Lake Michigan, occupying some of the city's most desirable real estate. Its reputation as an upscale residential spot dates back to 1882, when wealthy businessmen began building castle-like mansions along the waterfront. For a glimpse at these historical estates, head to the Seven Houses on Lake Shore Drive District, where you'll find a French-chateau-inspired mansion that now serves as the International Museum of Surgical Science. A walk down Astor Street reveals some of the city's most unique architecture, including the Charnley-Persky House built by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright in 1892.

Those looking for a hip nightlife will find trendy restaurants and nightclubs—many of which are open until 5 a.m.—catering to a well-dressed crowd. For people watching and the occasional celebrity sighting, head to Rush and Division, a see-and-be-seen spot dotted with upscale shops, classic Chicago bars, and diamond-encrusted parking meters.

Paintball combines the philosophies of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War with anecdotes from Jackson Pollock's autobiography, I Will Fight Your Painting. Hone combat aesthetics with this Groupon.

Battles rages across 15 themed battlefields at CPX Sports, each strewn with the husks of old cars or mock abandoned towns. After arriving at CPX and signing a waiver, paintballers trek through the ruined cityscapes and dense trees of CPX's varied battlefields to scope out tactically advantageous places to play dead. Once they've geared up with a paintball gun and 250 paintballs, prismatic sharpshooters traverse paintball fields that include The Jungle of Doom, Armageddon, and the Town of Bedlam. The open-play pass is valid for the whole day, and combatants can refill CO2 and high-pressure tanks as many times as they desire.

A hailstorm of paint projectiles rains down upon CPX Sports' more than one dozen fields, each of which poses different challenges and requires specialized tactics. The crown jewel of the park is the Town of Bedlam, a massive maze of small-town 1950s buildings that jut out between streets dotted by paint-splattered cars and streetlights. There, snipers poke their heads out of the central city hall's tower as the opposing team hides out or checks for abandoned shampoo samples inside the post office. The Jungle of Doom drops teams into a heavily wooded field to vie for control of a central temple, and chromatic combatants weave between desiccated cars in the Wastelands, attempting to collect the most gas cans. A full pro shop outfits players with markers, protective gear, and Sesame Street coloring books for target practice.

The young squad hits the court spearheaded by 2011 All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year Sylvia Fowles, who last year became the WNBA's second player ever to average a double-double over the course of a season and led the league in field-goal percentage, blocks, and double-knotted shoelaces. Fresh off a rookie season in which she joined Fowles on the Eastern Conference All-Star team, point guard Courtney Vandersloot anchors an explosive backcourt along with Epiphanny Prince, a chronic pest to opponents who averages more than two steals a game.

The dashboard and doorjambs savor a thorough wipe down before a giant anteater extracts crumbs and other snacks from the auto's floor. Before the service concludes, a sudsmaster absolves windows and whitewalls of their smudges, enabling vehicular transcendence. Small SUVs are $1 extra, and trucks, minivans, and large SUVs are an additional $2.

Though Fast Eddie's sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

At each of Fast Eddie's Car Wash's three locations, technicians reward roughed-up autos with a spa-style cleansing that helped earn them the Northwest Herald's 2011 Best Car Wash/Detailing award. Four types of car washes service the entire car, ranging from basic exterior jobs to all-encompassing packages that evict grime hidden in interior corners. Owners wait for newly primped rides in a dog-friendly waiting area that doubles as an iceless, bring-your-own-equipment hockey rink.

The scent of freshly baked pizza seems to permeate the air in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood, its streets dotted with red-and-white-striped restaurants. Crowds file in and out of the area's quaint shops, stopping in between to grab a quick cup of espresso at one of the cafés on India Street. Steps away from the vibrant shops, the stucco Porto Vista Hotel channels a fun, throwback vibe Frommer's calls "retro-Italian cool."

Upon your arrival, bartenders whip up two complimentary welcome drinks, drawing from ginger and elderflower essences as well as house-infused bacon vodka. Upstairs, cozy queen rooms are dominated by a floor-to-ceiling, '60s-style photograph taken by a local San Diego artist. The oversize image overlooks cushy pillow-top beds wrapped in crisp, white linens. Guests can snare wild frisbees from their window, which peers toward the glistening bay.

On the fourth floor of the Porto Vista, chefs at the Glass Door restaurant use local and seasonal ingredients to concoct inventive dishes such as duck-fat fries and prosciutto-seared salmon, which are served at communal tables amid wrought-iron lanterns and wall-to-wall waterfront views. Elsewhere, you can unwind at a rooftop sunset yoga class, get styled in the attached Evolve Salon, or explore the happening neighborhood just outside the Porto Vista's front doors.

Little Italy's historical streets bustle with tourists and locals alike, who come especially for the good eats. Handmade gelato and golden pizza pies fill the storefronts of classic, Italian-style eateries. One dessert café, run by a Paris-trained pastry chef, regularly sees lines forming down the block in the early morning as diners stock up on flaky, buttery croissants and scones.

Less than a mile from the hotel, the massive USS Midway Museum lets visitors wander through a Navy aircraft carrier and immerse themselves in life on the high seas. To observe San Diego's funky neighborhoods up close, you can shadow a local mailman or rent electric bikes for full- or half-day adventures. Some of the most popular destinations within biking distance include SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo, one of only four American zoos with giant pandas on display.

Although vision is just one of five senses, it’s the one that tells us whether an approaching object is a friend carrying cupcakes or a puma who’s just ravaged a bakery. Keep danger in view with this Groupon.

With a computerized LASIK system, Dr. Burger reshapes corneas to alter the penetration path of light, resulting in clearer vision. Most procedures produce 20/20 results or better, reducing the need for glasses or allowing patients to quit their spectacles cold turkey. Vision One treatment includes total care by a doctor the whole way through, including during the pretreatment exam and post-op visits.

Dr. Martin Burger knows his patients place a lot of trust in him when they elect him to perform their LASIK procedures. That trust isn't something he takes lightly, even though he has performed more than 60,000 corrections in his career. He ensures it's continued by monitoring his patients throughout the whole LASIK process, instead of handing them off to a technician or an unpaid intern. Vision One Lasik Center also employs other skilled professionals to dole out glasses-free sight. Both William and Jason Brand have years of experience treating patients with LASIK technology and also engage in pre- and post-operative care.

In 2007, 16,000 children in Illinois lived in substitute care, according to the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services, and according to the Court Appointed Special Advocates, more than 6,000 Cook County children are currently in the foster-care system. Every year, a large number of these children reach the age of majority, also known as aging out of foster care. A recent study by the University of Chicago reveals that Midwestern youth aging out of foster care experience substantial disparities—including unemployment, homelessness, and malnourishment—compared to their peers in the general population. The same study also found that connections to family members or a stable adult are important for the success of emancipating youths.

If this Grassroots campaign raises $600, then Children’s Home + Aid can sponsor a local enriching activity for 20 adult mentors and their foster-youth mentees. Each additional $30 raised will be used to provide another mentor and mentee with a set of tickets or passes to a local activity. Children's Home + Aid's Adult Connections program pairs youth with qualified adult mentors to develop a safe, trusting relationship that the youth can draw on to increase their independent-living skills and stability. Sponsored activities, such as a trip to an art gallery, museum, cooking lesson, or gym, provide a fun environment for mentor-mentee pairs to bond.

You can follow the progress of this and other Grassroots campaigns at the Groupon Grassroots website.

As a leading Illinois family- and child-service agency, Children’s Home + Aid serves more than 40,000 children and families each year through its child-development and -care programs, family counseling, and foster-care-advocacy programs. The organization's roots extend back to 1883, when the Reverend Van Arsdale brought into his home a young girl whose mother was in crisis. The minister's umbrella of care soon spread throughout the country, where he established advisory boards that evolved into regional boards that now help shape public policy for child welfare. Children's Home + Aid focuses on early childhood and juvenile justice, preventing child abuse, and garnering positive child development in strong families.

The organization's Adult Connections program pairs foster youth reaching the age of emancipation with supportive adult mentors who help them increase their independent living skills, as well as provide them with a positive adult relationship. Each year, roughly 30,000 of the 463,000 children in foster care throughout the United States age out of the foster-care system. By lending their time to guide these youth, adults can help to prevent homelessness, food insecurity, and unemployment.

Fewer than 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, the Mediterranean-inspired Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas cuts an imposing figure, with Spanish-style architecture, tiled roofs, and a recessed driveway lined with towering palms. You don’t have to worry about transportation to the city’s main corridor, thanks to a complimentary shuttle that runs back and forth from the strip four times a day. But there's a lot to do right here—the sprawling Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas encompasses restaurants, pools, a casino, and a movie theater.

In the upscale casino, exposed stone columns support towering arches and a vaulted ceiling. Gamers have the run of the place, which offers 2,200 slot and video-poker games, a poker room, race and sports book areas, and more than 55 table games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette. Spend your winnings at one of eight onsite restaurants, including Hank's Fine Steaks & Martinis, known for its selection of aged meats, and Terra Verde, a cozy Italian eatery with house-made pasta dishes and an extensive wine list. Getaway holders can use their resort credit at the onsite spa for services such as massages, facials, and mani-pedis.

Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas's outdoor recreation area stretches across more than 8 acres outfitted with manicured lawns, private cabanas, and infinity-edge dipping pools. Head to the Pond, the resort’s private pool and lounge, to see and be seen during pool-party season. Come nightfall, you can catch a live band at Ovation or slip into Drop Bar for a nightcap.

The town of Henderson is conveniently close to Las Vegas, but it's also far enough to be an escape from the bustle of the strip. Next to Green Valley Ranch- Las Vegas sits The District, a pedestrian-friendly promenade lined with boutiques and restaurants. On Friday and Saturday nights from May through October, enjoy live music as you stroll the plaza.

To head to the Strip, hop onto the resort's free shuttle, which drops riders off at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. If you're tired of gambling, check out one of the long-running shows, such as Cirque du Soleil's Love, an acrobatic and visually stunning homage to the Beatles.

An animal kingdom unto itself, heavy metal channels the machismo of a lion, the feverish pace of a wildebeest stampede, and the blood-curdling death scream of a wounded cookie monster. Let out animal-like yowls with this GrouponLive deal to see Dethklok and Lamb of God, with special guest Gojira at Congress Theater. For $20, you get one general-admission standing-room ticket for Tuesday, August 21, at 9 p.m. (up to a $40.45 value, including all fees).

The ax-wielding alliance of Lamb of God, Dethklok, and Gojira swiftly dismantles any notion that heavy metal is getting softer with age, rattling stages with a sonic boom of break-neck riffs and throaty bellows. Forerunners of the American heavy-metal renaissance, Lamb of God eschews kitsch for ironclad rock 'n' roll in its purest form. Behind a catalog of acclaimed albums including the breakthrough New American Gospel, the Grammy-nominated Sacrament and its latest anvil, Resolution, the quintet has attracted a rabid grassroots fan base and major label success by sticking to its un-formulaic formula. Relentless, technical, and unapologetically un-commercial, the band unleashes an arsenal of Gatling gun guitars, drums that dare the God of Thunder to step outside, and unabashed lyrics that prompt even Mount Rushmore to turn its heads.

As a running gag on the hit Adult Swim show Metalocalypse, Dethklok dismembers its fans in comically macabre manners every time it performs, which only makes it more popular. Albeit a cartoon band, with loony members such as mumble-singer Nathan Explosion and accident-prone bassist William Murderface, the hardcore thrash of the real-life musicians is no joke. Playing in front of projections of their animated alter egos, creator Brendon Small and his ace crew of shredders shake audiences to the core with death-metal opuses such as “Mermaider” and “Bloodlines.” French progressive-metal mavens Gojira start the show with blistering odes to environmentalism that summon nuclear sea monsters to recycle the Eiffel Tower.

According to a recent survey, people have listed chocolate as their preferred cause of death, followed closely by money avalanche. Get one foot in the tastiest grave with this Groupon.

In a 2.5-hour class, students learn how to choose chocolate, what raw chocolate tastes like, where it comes from, and how it’s tempered. They may also make truffles, candies, and chocolate bars. Nonprivate classes are capped at eight students each. Certain classes are BYOB; Chocolat Uzma Sharif will confirm this when clients call to make their reservation. Drinkware is not provided for these classes.

During her rotations as a pastry chef in culinary school, Uzma Sharif caught the eye of her head chef by drizzling chocolate with the same technique she used to decorate hands with henna. “You’re going to be a great success with that someday,” he predicted. The roots of her talents as a chocolatier go back even deeper, however. In Pakistan, her pastry-chef grandfather was well known for his delicate pink macaroons, and her mother and seven aunts each inherited their father’s baking skills. In January 2011, Uzma followed in her family members' footsteps, founding her own shop to purvey her hand-crafted chocolate creations as Chocolat Uzma Sharif.

These confections brim with unexpected ingredients, such as candied rose petals, Kashmiri chai, and cardamom, or glow with floral colors, such as the pinks and blues on the ombre butterflies that are Uzma's current favorite. The chocolatier handpicks the ingredients that go into her sweet creations, choosing all-natural, organic options when possible. Focused on perfecting a small selection of goods, she makes her chocolates in small batches and packages them in eco-friendly boxes she’s designed herself.

During chocolate classes at her Pilsen kitchen, Uzma teaches students about the origins of raw chocolate and the science behind making a bar with the right sheen and snap. Uzma also shares methods for choosing good chocolate from store shelves, starting with deciphering the percentages on the label and asking it whether it’s been naughty or nice.

Like glaciers and tectonic plates, teeth are slowly yet surely on the move as they attempt to turn their host’s mouth into frozen tundra and then rip it apart like a bite-size Pangaea. Defeat devious teeth with today’s Groupon: for $2,999, for you get a complete Invisalign orthodontic treatment at Advanced Family Dental’s locations in Crest Hill, Frankfort, Lockport, Lombard, Naperville, Plainfield, Romeoville, Shorewood, and Woodridge (up to a $6,200 value). The complete Invisalign orthodontic treatment includes the following:

The experienced licensed general dentists and orthodontists of Advanced Family Dental restore order to unruly mouthscapes with Invisalign orthodontic treatments. Invisalign straightens crooked chompers with a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment.

Depending on the client’s teeth, as few as 12 or as many as 48 separate aligners will need to be worn during a period of 6–15 months before the straightening effect finally self-actuates in a sudden burst of pink smoke and slobber. Aligners are only removed when eating, brushing, flossing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw. Today’s Groupon does not include posttreatment retainers, which may be recommended by the general dentists and orthodontists. View some Invisalign FAQs here.

The grin-shaping skills on display at Advanced Family Dental have led to Dr. Joseph Rubis’s fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and Dr. David J. Rubis’s stint as a featured dentist on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. The practice’s nine locations maintain flexible hours that simplify appointment scheduling, ease patient stress, and test wall-mounted clocks’ elasticity.

Before photography, subjects had to sit in uncomfortable poses as their portraits were painted, a process that could take several tension-packed years for mug shots. Sit for a quick, painless memory immortalization with this Groupon.

Bella Events coordinates a nationwide network of skilled professional photographers, ready to arrive on location to enshrine milestones and special moments through their expert camera work.

Next, shutterbugs appear during the event, whether it be a birthday party or milestone anniversary party, to capture in-the-moment bliss. These lense experts can also render stunning headshots and graduation portraits, all enshrined as high-resolution digital images, classy canvas prints, or personalized mugs, mousepads, and tote bags.

Italy has always taken a back seat to its cuisine, attracting droves of tourists with crisp pizzas and plates of spaghetti or hiring gondoliers to sing about anything but the looming threat of garlic bread absorbing the entire Mediterranean Sea.

Lunch fare includes veal cutlet paninis ($9.95) with house-made chips and chicken limon ($10.95). The dinner menu features eggplant parmigiana ($14.95) and pasta alla mama with fresh tomatoes, basil, and ground sausage over linguini ($15.95). See the full menu.

As the casual arm of Capri Ristorante & Catering, Capri Express eschews the white tablecloths of its five sister eateries in favor of a sleek black lunch counter and speedy service. Though the atmosphere is laid-back, the chefs infuse dishes with full-service flavor, loading thin-crust, traditional, and Sicilian-style pizza pies with quality ingredients such as italian beef. Veal cutlet paninis and pepper-and-egg sandwiches attack noontime hunger, and dinner favorites include signatures such as eggplant parmigiana with fresh mozzarella. For a homey touch, the pasta alla mama tosses fresh tomatoes, basil, and sausage over linguini, much like real mothers do with the baseball cards they're tired of storing in the basement.

Before or after the session, a quick jaunt over to Flight 112 Wine House next door lavishes taste buds with the red, white, or sparkling varietal of their choice from the wine list.

Powered by the sultry hues of the Motives by Loren Ridinger line, the artists concoct foundations, bronzers, blushes, and eye shadows to complement their clients' skin tones.

Like an iceberg, beauty resides largely below the surface, but only its visible portion can catch the eye of a strapping boat captain. Look shipshape with this Groupon.

Performed by Jeffrey Segal or a member of his certified staff, the 90-minute appointment includes state-of-the-art anesthetic and pigments for maximum safety and comfort, and concludes with a cold-laser treatment to reduce discomfort and shorten healing time. One month after the initial application, clients will return for a touchup visit to correct any areas that did not accept the pigment, or to further enhance the initial application. Customers can also opt for both eyelid and eyebrow options to receive a $50 discount on the second procedure. Click here to check out some frequently asked questions.

Artist Jeffery Lyle Segal discovered his passion for drawing at age 12. By high school he’d mastered makeup application, and by college he found himself teaching makeup-application courses, eventually commanding the classrooms of Empire Academy in Costa Mesa and the Cinema Makeup School in LA. Along the way, the steady-handed professional worked as a special-effects makeup artist for film, theater, and print, honing his beauty-application techniques on models and willing key grips. It wasn't until 1991, however, that he found the perfect merger between his appreciation for fine art and love of beautiful faces in the world of permanent makeup. Today, he's renowned as an expert in the field and has served for more than 20 years as a certified member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals and as a fellow of the American Academy of Micropigmentation. He strives to help women look their naturally beautiful best and literally wrote the book on the subject, penning his design prowess into a highly regarded training program titled, The Shape of Permanent Beauty.

As the saying goes, "an artist is only as good as his tools," and so Segal favors high-end equipment such as the digital German cosmetic-tattooing devices from Harmonix and Nouveau Contour. Beyond making makeup routines easy for busy folks or those with poor vision or cosmetic sensitivities, his talents can also be used to help correct asymmetrical features, sparse hair or brow lines, scars, or discolored areolas following breast surgery.

Unlike a fork and knife, a pair of chopsticks requires only one hand, allowing you to carbo-load as you break the world record for waving at cars. Say hello to this Groupon.

$19 for a Chinese fusion meal for two (up to a $40.85 total value)

$35 for a Chinese fusion meal for four (up to an $81.70 total value)

See the menu here.

Thirty years ago, Chef Wu's generations-old beef noodle soup recipe became the culinary foundation for a restaurant where authentic Chinese dishes fuse with one another to create a fresh, new cuisine. Flavors taken from the Sichuan region of China take on modern, continental influences, cloaking steak, seafood, and tofu in rich, piquant sauces with citrus, umami, and cream bases. Beloved American Chinese classics such as shrimp and walnuts are updated with the inclusion of unexpected touches such as crisp candied walnuts, and others, including tea-smoked duck, adhere to traditional flavors taken from local Earl Grey rivers.

If humans are mostly made of water, and fish traditionally inhabit water, fish should naturally occur in the human body. Fix this gap in nature’s logic with today’s Groupon to Chinn’s 34th Street Fishery in Lisle. Choose between the following options:

Chinn’s discerning chefs satisfy finny cravings with platters of freshly caught fish, shrimp, and other marine fare that's flown in daily from select markets. Guests can dive dramatically into dinner with an order of jumbo shrimp cocktail ($11.95) and an outstretched cape, then tear into a solid pound of premium Alaskan king-crab legs ($39.95) while gazing at fanciful murals of underwater life. The Hawaiian ahi tuna ($25.95) is prepared medium rare and attainable even for patrons without their own fishing poles, and fans of land-based nourishment can cosset tender forkfuls of a 6-ounce filet mignon with pasta ($24.95).

Dried-grass awnings add an extra layer of sun protection to Chinn's interior, where a tiki-themed bar slings fruity rum drinks and aquariums glow like teeth after a too-long whitening treatment. Burgundy booths and plentiful table seating promote relaxed shell cracking and chowder drinking, and mounted bronze fish overlook tables from spots on the walls to ensure fair cross-table sampling.

In addition to silhouette shaping, the treatment can increase circulation while assuaging sore muscles, joints, and tissues without any downtime.

Though Leah Chavie Skincare Boutique sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Armed with more than two decades of beautifying experience, skin guru Leah Chavie leads a team of aestheticians to enhance appearances in a feng shui studio that Examiner.com writer Kathryn Garcia Schuster noted, "can take your skin from so-so to ooh-la-la after just one trip." The spa and its non-invasive clinical treatments have earned attention from the likes of Time Out Chicago, NBC, and Pop Sugar for using cutting-edge skincare technology ranging from bioelectrotherapy facial remodeling to lash and brow tinting.

Aestheticians help patrons to embark on a mug-refining path that can mix and match any of the salon’s clinical and relaxing facials with laser hair-removal sessions, sunless tanning, and mineral cosmetics that polish façades until they’re radiant enough to qualify for alternative-energy tax credits.

Alongside state-of-the-art technology, the salon’s aestheticians draw on Biologique Recherche skincare products, which use a high concentration of botanical, marine, and biological extracts. The Paris–based formulas allow the power of natural ingredients to heal skin unfettered by artificial fragrances or product fillers.
