Golf demands sharp focus and attention to detail, which is why golfers at the height of their PGA careers often retire to become police sketch artists. Sharpen your eye and hone your arm with today's Groupon to Grayson Woods Golf Course in Pleasant Hill. Choose between the following two options:

• For $23, you get a golf outing for two (up to a $46 total value).
• For $41, you get a golf outing for four (up to a $92 total value).

Both golf outings include:

• Nine holes of golf (up to a $20 value/person)
• One round of putting on the 18-hole putting course (a $3 value/person)

As Mount Diablo rises in the distance, golfers at Grayson Woods Golf Course swing their way through the awesome scenery of the par 27 course. The nine holes are littered with sand bunkers, water hazards, and thickets threatening double bogeys, drops, and debts to a cantankerous golf troll named Mulligan. The 18-hole putting course affords a respite from the main course's hills and hazards, with stretches of stony brooks and emerald courses.

Grayson Woods Golf Course's rates fluctuate throughout the week. The course also offers discounted senior and junior rates.

Highly functional hands are what separate man from the animals, giving humans an evolutionary edge with opposable thumbs and the ability to tell stories through shadow puppetry. Pamper built-in narrators with today's Groupon to Diva Nail Lounge. Choose between the following options:

• For $45, you get two Diva Cocoacarey pedicures (a $96 value).

An eco-minded salon, Diva Nail Lounge gives hands and feet a stellar glow in an environmentally friendly fashion with a slew of natural products. Feet slip into a bath of warm milk and rose petals during the Cocoacarey pedicure before a technician exfoliates away dead skin with an organic oatmeal sugar scrub. A moisturizing chocolate mask encircles weary shoe occupants in mood-elevating tryptophan, leaving feet softer than an overripe peach fresh from the dryer. Nail artists begin the Diva signature mani-pedi pamperfest with an organic citrus bath. After trimming and shaping nails, the shop's beauty experts groom unruly cuticles with almond oil and duly evict light calluses from overworked feet with a pumice stone. An exfoliating oatmeal scrub frees hands and feet from dry, crackly patches by hydrating, soothing, and energizing skin. With an aromatic boost from a honey avocado mask, a 15-minute reflexology massage relieves tension in both the hands and the feet, readying them for work, errands, or intense games of kick the can. Following the service, guests can admire phalanges newly decked out in a french-manicure design or coats of eco-friendly Spa Ritual nail polish.

Participants hoist their instructor-provided materials and set out with fellow explorers for a five-hour trek through less-than-hospitable landscapes within Marin County. As they walk along, outdoors enthusiasts practice backpacking techniques and hiking safety that both increase pack comfort and reduce their dependency on rolling luggage with all-terrain wheels.

The class' basic curriculum enables novice hikers to acclimate themselves to the rigors of conquering nature trails, and lessons in crisis prevention and management equip hikers, bikers, and outdoorsmen of all skill levels to handle unexpected challenges. Hands-on training in water-purification methods and signaling arms participants with the know-how to select their own survival gear and assign priority between packing a water bottle or three Predator DVDs.

Giving yourself a back massage is impossible, much like keeping your eyes open while sneezing or reading an entire book. Give spines a rest with today’s Groupon to Oakland Massage Therapy. Choose from the following options:

• For $35, you get your choice of a 50-minute Swedish, deep-tissue, or sports massage (an $80 value).
• For $59, you get a 50-minute deluxe massage (a $145 value).

The certified massage therapists at Oakland Massage Therapy ply away muscle tension with practiced strokes and spa-like add-ons. Swedish massage stimulates circulation and detoxification with gliding massage strokes, and sports massage helps speed recovery as it focuses on areas of inflammation, tension, and aloofness caused by unrequited pats on the back. The deluxe and super massages combine fluid effleurage and deep-tissue pressure to knots with four muscle-melting add-ons, including aromatherapy and the penetrating heat of hot stones. Therapists gently burnish backs with a salt scrub to remove dead skin cells and apply hot towels to uncoil muscles into sinews as relaxed as a jack-in-the-box in a world without toddlers. Services last a full 60 or 90 minutes, with 10 minutes designated to undressing and dressing.

Skin glows when nourished by a healthy diet and exercise, but hums protest songs when denied sleep or moisturizer. Meet skin's demands with today's Groupon: for $249, you get a skin-enhancement laser treatment on the face, full arms, or neck with chest at Serenity MedSpa (a $700 value).

Board-certified surgeon Dr. Lisa Kang and her physician cohorts customize skin-rejuvenating treatments for each patient and restore a healthy glow with Clear + Brilliant skin-enhancement laser treatments. The new procedure aims to eradicate common imperfections such as fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, redness, and moon scarring.

Prior to the treatment, skin specialists smear a topical numbing ointment atop the face or chest and neck, preventing discomfort during the 10-minute treatment. An ice pack cools newly resurfaced skin, which may feel warm, as if it had recently dozed on the surface of an overworked DVD player. The treatment involves little to no downtime, though potential patients cannot have used Retin A or acid products for up to two weeks before and must avoid it for up to two weeks afterward and cannot have used Accutane for at least one year prior to the procedure.

Like outdated clothes or a rotary-telephone tattoo, wrinkles can make a person look older. Dial up a more youthful appearance with today's Groupon to Tri Valley Plastic Surgery in Dublin. Choose between the following options:

• For $159, you get a Botox or Dysport treatment on one facial area (a $350 value).
• For $299, you get two Botox or Dysport treatments, each on one facial area (a $700 value). The two treatments must be spaced at least three months apart.
  
  

Treatments are valid for the glabella (between the brows), forehead, or crow’s feet.

Tri Valley Plastic Surgery's Dr. Steven Williams, featured on Good Morning America as an expert plastic surgeon and inventor of the Venus Injectables iPhone app, marshals his medical expertise and experienced staff to smooth facial wrinkles with Botox and Dysport injections. At the start of each 30-minute appointment, the medical staff conducts an evaluation to determine eligibility for treatment, decide which product is most suitable for the patient, and check to see if cheek lines actually plot a route to Atlantis. An experienced injector then administers up to 20 units of Botox or up to 60 units of Dysport to block the muscle contractions that cause brow furrows, forehead wrinkles, or crow's feet, typically with minimal discomfort or downtime. One session can visibly diminish visage crevices within a few days and last for up to three or four months, leaving skin ready for onslaughts of butterfly kisses, bear hugs, or arm-wrestling matches with the dog.

Dysport and Botox may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening, including problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Read all safety considerations for Dysport and Botox first.

Grimy windows present a cloudy, inhospitable world in which every car is reduced to a moving gray smudge and every pizza deliveryman is mistaken for an encyclopedia salesman. Inhabit a brighter world with today's Groupon for services from Wow! Window Cleaning, valid for all of Marin County and Sonoma County and as far north as Santa Rosa. Choose between the following options:

• For $89, you get interior and exterior window washing on a one-story house (up to a $250 value).

Wow! Window Cleaning's father-son team travels to houses in sunny Marin and Sonoma Counties to scrub windows inside and out until each pane is clean, clear, and streak-free. A mild soap solution loosens dirt, debris, and unwanted suction-cup animals, and tougher spots such as bug or plant residue get extra buffing with steel wool. After evicting all debris, cleaners squeegee away water and spot-dry with lint-free cloths to rid windows of streaks. Cleaners treat the interior windows with the same meticulous care, leaving house-spectacles completely clear to let in sunlight, moonlight, or flickering light from the films that neighbors project onto the side of your house.

Pizza is a more orderly way to feed a group than serving an unwieldy party sub or dousing your guests with a chili hose. Dole out slices of fun with today’s Groupon to Vito's Express in Dublin. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get $30 worth of pizza.
• For $45, you get $100 worth of pizza.

New York–style thin crust carries traditional and creative toppings into mouths at Vito's Express, where salad pizzas, seafood pizzas, and breakfast pizzas join specialty and build-your-own pies. Crafted with an egg base and unencumbered by sauce, the roster of breakfast pizzas adapts to its serving time by including options such as the carbonara—a blend of pancetta and green onions ($13 for a 13” pie)—and by rarely being seen by teenagers on break from school.

Along with the Mista pizza's caramel onions and candied walnuts, roma tomatoes, feta, and mixed greens sip the drizzling hydration of a raspberry vinaigrette ($13.75–$26), and the Da'Mici's layers of clams, bacon, and garlic ($14–$23) unite a trio of ingredients often encountered together in the wild. Feel free to go in another direction by selecting the Italian Lobsterlicious pizza, whose namesake crustacean marinates in cognac cream sauce ($21 for a 12" pie) or a quartet of available schiacciatta--stuffed-crust comestibles--which smuggle clandestine cheese deposits into plate ports ($13 for a 12" pie).

Though not included in this Groupon, beer at Vito's Express fills glasses via a state-of-the-art thirst-thwarting device that floods glasses with ale from the bottom up, wetting whistles in a method as upside-down as anything from a bungee-jumper's perspective.

In a world without adults, taxes would have to file themselves, and the president, by default, would be a stack of dogs wearing a long overcoat. Celebrate your adulthood with this Groupon: for $65, you get $130 worth of designer adult merchandise and gifts from Jimmyjane online.

Web content related to this deal may contain graphic adult imagery unsuitable for minors or workplace viewing.

Or fine-tune four vibration modes and five power levels with the Form 2 ($145), a waterproof vibrator with dual motors, cordless recharging, and Jimmyjane's three-year warranty. Otherwise, clients can peruse a lineup of The Usual Suspects, which includes the Iconic Rabbit ($100) and Iconic Bullet ($16). Afterglow massage-oil candles ($29), replete with a porcelain pour spout for drizzling wick-heated oil onto lovers or stressed-out salads, rev up olfactory motors by floating scents of dark vanilla, bourbon, and pink lotus throughout the room. The Thrill Seeker pleasure set ($89) also helps kindle passions, bundling Tcho chocolate bars, an anthology of Best Women's Erotica from 2011, and a Hitachi Magic Wand, whose massaging head can remedy soreness and transform irksome admirers into frogs with well-placed taps.

Built from FDA-approved body-safe materials, all of Jimmyjane's products embrace a hygienic approach to personal pleasure, unlike getting a massage from an uncooked chicken. Though this Groupon does not cover shipping costs, Jimmyjane offers free U.S. shipping via FedEx Ground on all orders.

Wine is a product of grapes, yeast, and time, which explains why most varietals boast a subtle clocky flavor. Sip some time-honored juices with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a wine and chocolate pairing for two at Rutherford Ranch Winery in St. Helena (a $50 value).

Rutherford Ranch Winery's team of vintners transforms 100% certified-organic grapes into a medley of wines showcasing the abilities of California's terroir. The chocolate and wine pairings introduce taste buds and olfactory antennae to five Rutherford wines and four chocolates crafted by a local artisan chocolatier. As customers sample a preselected variety of reds and whites, experienced staff members answer questions and politely deflect requests for congratulatory hugs.

Tastings are held in Rutherford Ranch's Cabernet Room, where guests can sink into overstuffed sofas to sip wine in comfort before striking out to explore the property. When weather permits, tasters can tour the winery's vineyard, gaze up through the branches of century-old olive trees, or view a live cork tree tasked with keeping fresh the millions of gallons of wine just beneath the earth's crust. Guests who look closely enough may spot owl boxes, indigenous plants, and photovoltaic cells used to keep the winery sustainable and ensure that wine is produced with respect for the land and the environment.

In addition, myofascial-release techniques can help muscles escape from the motion-constricting snare of connective tissues and clingy shadows. Soothing aromatherapy fragrances waft through the air throughout the experience, wafting the bouquet of essential oils into the nostrils. The bodily coddling spreads to the face during 60-minute facials designed to refurbish skin and inadequately indented dimples. Between effervescent sips of bubbly, couples can nibble on sweet, ruby-hued strawberries as tension fades far from memory with each relaxing rub. Though World of Health sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

A healthy smile is able to win people over by displaying rows of pearly white teeth and emitting a cartoon "ding" sound whenever it shows itself. Teach teeth to audibly twinkle with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a Diamond Elite ultrasonic toothbrush, plus a UV sanitizing charger base, three replacement brush heads, and free shipping (a $230.95 value).

The toothbrush's plaque remover reaches where normal bristles can't, and an ergonomic design cultivates brushing comfort. Personalize each dental baptism with the adjustable modes of whitening, gentle, and massage, and at brushing's end, send the Elite home to its UV sanitizing charger base to shoo away any bacterium who mistakenly thought the UV light was a disco ball.

For an oceanic appetizer, ceviche mixto allows octopuses to flaunt their superior arm-wrestling skills against clams, shrimp, mussels, and fish, served with corn, onion, and sweet potatoes. Entrees of aji de gallina mingle shredded chicken breast with walnuts and parmesan cheese beneath a yellow chili sauce, and the carapulcra's potato, pan-fried chicken, and pork takes a decadent turn with the addition of chocolate and porto butter. Seco de carne simmers a cilantro-seasoned stew of beef, vegetables, and corn-beer sauce, devising the most exciting combination of beef and beer since cattle farmers established a no-parties policy.

• For $999, you get liposuction for one small area (a $3,000 value).

Dr. Reza Tabriz, the cosmetic surgeon at Jeunederm Cosmetic Surgery Center, has slimmed more than 2,000 silhouettes with liposuction procedures over the past 10 years. Thirty-minute to two-hour tumescent liposuction treatments employ mild sedation and a local-anesthetic cocktail of lidocaine and epinephrine while the doctor suctions out irksome fat deposits and bubble wrap through a small incision in the skin. After surgery, patients don a large bandage for a day and an elastic wrap for at least one week, with complete recovery taking up to three months. An initial consultation and a tickle test determine if clients are good candidates for liposuction; non-suitable candidates are given a refund.

The car was invented to get commuters directly from point A to point B, which made life easier but destroyed the once-thriving tourism industry of point C. Visit all points on the map with today's Groupon: for $69, you get auto-maintenance package at ADS Mobile in San Bruno (a $230 total value). The package includes:

• One interior and exterior detail (a $65 value)
• One headlight restoration service with lifetime warranty (a $120 value)
• Windshield repair for one chip (a $45 value)

The technicians at ADS Mobile buoy the appeal, performance, and safety of vehicles during two-hour detailing services that incorporate windshield-chip repair and headlight restoration. The interior and exterior detail includes a wash-and-wax process, which combats bugs, tar, and the residue from broken speed limits. Mechanics hand-rub each vehicle's chassis with plastic conditioners and carnauba wax and massage rims with specialized cleansers. Detailers also take time to clarify glass from inside and out and storm the interior by vacuum. Finally, they’ll wipe down dashes, consoles, and doors until the core of the car is more sanitary than the center of the earth.

Using a 3M-brand restoration process, ADS Mobile’s technicians touch up faded headlights to increase their night-piercing powers. The restoration includes a lifetime warranty should the headlights become dim, clouded, or infected with cataracts. Afterward, car attendants hone in on one windshield chip, patching the blemish while restoring the shield's overall strength. Unlike windshield replacements, repairs preserve cars' auto glass with their original seal and keep unrecyclable glass from overpopulating landfills and windshield graveyards. To pass the time, customers can flag down the shop’s free shuttle for a ride to The Shops at Tanforan or the nearby BART station.

Waiting at the doctor's office exposes you to other people's germs and the risk of a broken heart every time the receptionist calls someone else's name. Make medical care come to you with today's Groupon to ER Direct. Choose between the following options:

• For $135, you get an urgent in-home medical call (a $275 value).
• For $149, you get an in-home general physical with blood-work and health screening (a $375 value).

ER Direct services locations in the North Oakland and the greater San Francisco Bay area. House calls outside these areas may require an additional fee.

ER Direct, founded with the mission of cutting down on unnecessary waiting lines in emergency rooms, dispatches licensed physicians and physician assistants with a minimum of three years of emergency-room experience to meet patients on their own turf. Urgent-care visits treat a range of non-life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention, such as broken bones and lacerations, or typical house-call conditions including flu symptoms and migraines. Patients who opt for an in-home general physical undergo a blood test to determine kidney function, blood count, and electrolyte levels, as well as a traditional health screening to reveal blood pressure, oxygenation levels, and secret crushes hidden deep inside the heart. Visiting physicians can write and fill most prescriptions, and typically arrive within one–two hours of a patient's call. Patients can also schedule an appointment for a convenient date and time between the operating hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Amid the copper-toned walls and classic Spanish-style architecture of Salon Saavy, stylist Velma Villanueva transforms headscapes with Matrix Biolage products. Patrons pass through rust-colored archways before sinking into Velma's styling chair, where hair artist and client discuss the desired style, coif characteristics, and hair's previous exposure to lightening agents such as bleach or ghost sightings. Scissors shear through manes to slim down bulky layers and trim frayed ends before a conditioning treatment steeps strands in hydrating cream to strengthen and polish. Semi-permanent dye infuses locks with a chosen hue before seamlessly washing out after a few weeks. Alternatively, clients sip on complimentary champagne as Velma weaves highlights throughout manes, showcasing multidimensional head topiary that appears sun-kissed or Midas-touched.

Italian-Themed Boutique Hotel in San Francisco’s Russian Hill Neighborhood

Housed in a newly renovated building that reopened its doors in August 2011, da Vinci Villa supplies a taste of Italy in the heart of San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. The boutique hotel's Mediterranean influence is on display everywhere from a large re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man drawing out front to a colorful mural of the Italian countryside in the lobby.

The hotel’s 136 guest rooms circle a heated outdoor pool (open at the end of February), and many offer stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Each room features a large flat-screen TV and Tarocco bath products that perfume the air with the scent of Sicilian red oranges.

Mahogany-colored leather armchairs and brass art objects fill the downstairs lounge, where overflow crowds from the onsite restaurant, Caffé Como, sip drinks and nibble appetizers. In the restaurant, executive chef Shawn Lawrence crafts hearty Italian comfort fare such as calamari fritti, pasta, and pizzas smothered in seasonal mushrooms and cipollini onions. In the morning, a complimentary continental breakfast of pastries, fruit, and yogurt fuels trips to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square.

Russian Hill, San Francisco: Historical Hilltop Neighborhood Adjacent to City's Most Popular Sights

Nestled between North Beach, the Marina District, and the salty piers of Fisherman’s Wharf, the Russian Hill neighborhood—set atop one of the city's original seven hills—is chockablock with sweeping vistas, lively bars, unique shops, and world-class restaurants. The steepest section of Lombard Street is often dubbed “the world’s crookedest street” for its series of eight hairpin turns that whip past stately mansions and meticulously manicured gardens.

With its snapshot-ready view of the Golden Gate, the beach at nearby Crissy Field makes prime real estate for a picnic assembled from the contents of the included Italian amenity basket—filled with salami and cheeses from Caffé Como and a bottle of wine. San Francisco's iconic, fog-powered cable cars put the rest of the city within reach. Visitors can catch a ride to Ghirardelli Square to scarf down a chocolate sundae and listen to live jazz, or head to Pier 39 and catch a ferry to Alcatraz.

Two-Story Stone Cottage in the Heart of Carmel Village

In Carmel-by-the-Sea, neon signs aren’t welcome. Nor are fast-food joints — and since 1963, neither are high heels. Of course, no one can remember the last time a citation was issued for wearing stilettos, but these prohibitions speak to the town’s desire to preserve the quaint character of the area and to prevent stumbling upon its many cobblestone streets.

The Cobblestone Inn takes its cue from the uneven streets that surround it; inlaid stone lines the bottom half of the two-story inn, giving it the distinct look of a classic English cottage. Inside, however, the inn is distinctly modern, recalling New England with its blue-and-white plaid sofas clustered around a rock hearth and a granite bust of Maine’s first lobster. Homey accents scatter throughout the inn; in the sitting room, watering cans with cheerful sunflowers sit atop the fireplace, and tableside lamps made from birdcages shed light on a stack of leather-bound books. Outside, a peaceful stone patio encourages guests to relax in the sunshine, take in shade under the table’s umbrellas, or enjoy the nightly wine, cheese, and sherry service alfresco.

Pastoral artwork, antique trunks, and glass decanters pepper every one of the eight guest rooms, each decorated individually to pay homage to the English country. Pillow-top mattresses and gas fireplaces add comfort to the private rooms, and inside a bubbling whirlpool bath, visitors can unwind with a provided bottle of wine.

Carmel-by-the-Sea, California: Bohemian Outpost Replete with Boutique Shops and Wineries

The brilliant blue waters of the Pacific and the electric green of verdant meadows saturate Carmel-by-the-Sea, which sits just a few hours south of San Francisco and hugs the rocky coastline. Once an outpost for bohemian types such as Jack London, the 1-square mile town remains true to its roots as a traditional English village: street lights, numbered addresses, and hovercrafts are nonexistent. An influx of European-bistro-style restaurants, valley vineyards, and boutiques have recently joined the mix, and in addition to the town's live theater and 40 art galleries, the area boasts a wealth of outdoor activities, including world-class golfing at Pebble Beach, whale watching and kayaking in the Pacific, and hiking among the redwoods at Big Sur, located 45 minutes up scenic Highway 1.

Toned bodies are crucial to wilderness survival, able to run for miles, climb trees, and trap rainwater within their many grooves. Develop personal irrigation canals with today's Groupon to Lamorinda CrossFit in Lafayette. Choose between the following options:

• For $29, you get 10 CrossFit classes (a $120 value).

Students proceed at their own pace, encouraged to push themselves without compromising proper form. In addition to offering the Workout of the Day, Lamorinda CrossFit holds muscle-toning kettlebell workouts as well as introductory Foundations sessions that help beginners refine technique and extraterrestrials analyze the human musculature.

The bell became the preferred way to signal Wall Street's opening after using a truck's air horn resulted in traders passing in front of the podium, pumping their arms up and down in an effort to get the horn blown again. Fine-tune your financial signals with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get five online stock-trading courses from Lex van Dam Trading Academy (a $630 value).

A professional hedge-fund manager and one-time trader with Goldman Sachs, Lex van Dam opened a trading academy to teach Main Street folks of all skill levels to turn a profit in the stock market. The online academy organizes material into five 40-minute modules based on the basic principles of successful trading, including chart analysis and risk management. Aspiring marketeers learn to make savvy trades based on a deep understanding of the market, rather than from newspaper predictions or company horoscopes. Company-evaluation modules reveal which financial numbers matter and which are irrelevant, and trading psychology teaches students to make smart trades without letting emotions sway them. Groupon-holders can watch each module up to five times, ultimately gaining enough insight to potentially design strong personal portfolios. Lex van Dam taught several novices to out-trade pros on BBC's Million Dollar Traders, a reality show that turned ordinary people into profitable market wizards and insufferably smug Monopoly players.

Touring a winery teaches visitors how wine is actually made and debunks myths that red wine is made from the white grapes that got sunburned. Explore a fruit's fantastic journey with today's Groupon to Beringer Vineyards in St. Helena. Choose between the following options:

• For $30, you get a one-hour Taste of Beringer tour for two (a $60 value).
• For $58, you get a one-hour Taste of Beringer tour for four (a $120 value).

The winemakers at Beringer Vineyards draw on Rhine Valley fermentation techniques to concoct their piquant libations in facilities dating back to 1877 and protected by the National Register of Historic Places. At the start of each tour, guides lead participants through the demonstration vineyard at St. Helena, where grapes wander forth from the elevated slopes of an alluvial plain unaided by shepherds or GPS. Groups then enter the stone winery, where staff members blend wines using gravity flow and methods that have changed very little since the winery's founding. Guests see how wine flows to a lower level for fermentation before cascading farther down into hand-hewn cavern tunnels to age and languish, like a freeloading brother, for months without paying rent. As participants wander the 1,200-foot passageway, they learn facts such as how the rock walls serve as natural insulation, and sip four of the estate's wines while guides discuss professional tasting techniques.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Beringer Vineyards a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.

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 Oasis Day Spa in San Carlos. Choose between the following options:

• For $49, you get one 45-minute diamond-peel microdermabrasion (a $115 value).
• For $129, you get three 45-minute diamond-peel microdermabrasions (a $345 value).

With nearly 20 years of experience, including stints at Hotel Sofitel and Pacific Athletic Club, the aesthetician at Oasis Day Spa reveals fresh, healthy skin and promotes cellular renewal with diamond-peel microdermabrasion treatments. Diamond peels take their name from a small, hollow wand whose tip is encrusted in tiny diamond fragments and engagement rings that gently buff dead layers from all skin types. The aesthetician draws the wand over facial contours to loosen damaged tissue and clear clogged pores, softening fine lines and evening out discoloration during each 45-minute session. Before newly dislodged cells can leap back into pores for games of sardines, the wand's vacuum mechanism sweeps them up its internal tube and away from the skin's surface. Fresh-faced clients do not need significant recovery time, and may notice firmer skin as a result of collagen production catalyzed by the stimulating treatment.

Practicing yoga, like hanging a picture frame, requires a good sense of balance, a tasteful mat, and a supportive instructor to keep an eye on your alignment. Stay centered with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get one month of unlimited yoga classes at CorePower Yoga (a $159 value), valid at the location in Berkeley. New students may also enroll in an additional week of free classes using the studio’s online offer.

CorePower Yoga’s instructors guide students through creative yoga classes that meld movement, breathing, and music into entrancing routines to energize the body and mind. Like a butler with a teleportation pod, the studio’s full schedule of classes welcomes students seven days a week. During the signature CorePower Yoga class, teachers lead students through dynamic, Vinyasa-style flows with demonstration and verbal cues, helping pupils to tone core muscles and cultivate balance.

Most classes convene in a 90- to 95-degree room, which intensifies stretches, bolsters coordination, and melts stress faster than a lullaby sung by a dragon. To foster full-body strength and cardiovascular health, teachers pair selected yoga workouts with free weights and calorie-torching CorePower Yoga Ryder bikes that pump up heart rates with the rhythmic clicking of the baseball cards in their spikes.
