Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of upscale Mexican cuisine at El Barrio in Grandview-Woodland. The value of the Groupon is $35 if redeemed Tuesday–Thursday. El Barrio is a lively, inviting Mexican restaurant that hushes hunger with beautifully presented dishes prepared from fresh local ingredients. As live jazz feeds eager ear drums, dig into carne a la plancha, eight succulent grilled ounces of British Columbia free range flank steak soaked in achiote and pineapple juice and topped with a house chipotle sauce ($16.95). Or match a margarita ($7.25) with Pastel Azteca–tiers of tortillas, melted cheese, spinach, and crema fresca ($15.25). Cocktails ($7.25) and desserts such as flan de caramelo ($6.25) or Ibarra chocolate crème brûlée ($8.95) sweeten mouths like a kiss from a goodhearted witch. El Barrio also has gluten-free options.

1668 W Broadway, Suite 102, Vancouver, British Columbia

Today’s Groupon abducts rogue hairs with technology invented by a shadowy group of elites known only as the Syndicate: for $149, you get three bikini line or three underarm laser hair-removal treatments at Paris Cliniqe, located on West Broadway (up to a $330 value).

Paris Cliniqe boasts an extensive line-up of skin rejuvenation and weight-loss treatments performed by experienced professionals. With today’s deal, a technician will zap away unwanted fuzz on clients’ underarms or classic bikini lines with a burst of red and yellow Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which fries follicles to prevent hair regrowth and squelch hair coups d’etat. Before treatment begins, the laser settings are calibrated to your skin’s sensitivity to minimize irritation, and a Zimmer Chiller machine numbs the skin rendering the process nearly painless, like a 7th grade band concert. Most clients need about six of these non-invasive treatments to see full results.

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of natural bath and body products from Escents Aromatherapy. This Groupon is valid for redemption at all seven Escents store locations in the Vancouver area. Today’s Groupon is not valid for online purchases.

Escents uses pure essential oils and scents from all corners of the globe to wage wellness on British Columbia’s bodies through aromatherapeutic treatments. Choose from Escents’ expansive array of essential oils to halt headaches, block bug bites, and alleviate aches, among numerous other reputed positive side effects. The eucalyptus globulus ($7.95 for a 5 ml bottle) freshens the air and can eliminate toxins with its camphor-rich and koala-doctor-approved scent, and the rosemary’s fresh odour ($9.95 for a 5 ml bottle) is said to enhance mental clarity and relieve the body of acne, indigestion, and muscle pains. For the best of Escents’ blends, opt for a scent from its signature collection, such as the grapefruit-and-mandarin energy blast of Squeeze or the rose-and-jasmine heart tickle of Love. Escents doesn’t only vend vitalizing vials for adding to baths and bases—it also offers aromatherapy colognes, foot and hand care, and body butters for direct-to-skin delight. Organic concoctions are also available for customers desiring the all-natural replenishing that generally only comes from rubbing magic seashells on teeth.

Escents CEO Jacqui MacNeill has overseen the business’s arresting and aromatic alchemies since she founded the company in 1992. All Escents products are phosphate-free, petroleum-free, biodegradable, and made without any testing on animals.

With today’s Groupon, you get a fireman’s acrobatic workout with twice as much confidence. Choose from two fitness options from Tantra Fitness’s Vancouver and Langley locations:

For $45, you get one month of unlimited cardio and dance group classes (a $115 value).
For $60, you get a punch-card good for any four classes (up to a $120 value).
Tantra Fitness eschews traditional fitness regimens, cultivating a collection of sensual sculpting classes and cardio-kicking disciplines. With either Groupon option, clients can choose from the many classes in Tantra Fitness’s repertoire of sultry, fat-burning workouts. The Pussycat Dawls chair-dancing class spices up cardio workouts with props, while participants harness the moves known only to professional Shakira impersonators in a belly-dancing fusion class. The Sexy Flexy class bends and stretches the human body in such a manner to make even a blushing Gumby excuse himself from the room. While the unlimited monthly option can’t be used for pole classes, those opting for the four-class punch card can sample a taste of Tantra Fitness’s five levels of pole dancing, from the basic Pole 101 to the acrobatic Pole 505 for expert scalers and telephone repairmen.

Classes are offered at both Tantra Fitness locations throughout the week; check Vancouver’s schedule or Langley’s schedule for the times at the fitness centre nearest you. With a roster of skilled instructors and a welcoming, non-judgmental approach to wellness, Tantra Fitness provides an ideal environment for equal doses of confidence boosting and calorie scorching.
