If left untended, hands have been known to flee arms and take up residence with Addams families. Keep hands from autonomy with today’s Groupon: for $45 you get a signature organic mani-pedi (a $100 value) at Beauté Légère, located on Main Street.

Beauté Légère’s skilled team of mani-pedi prodigies transform sneedy nails into dashing digits with deluxe spa treatments and organic Gratiae products. Clients conform their bodies to a plush massage chair while pampering professionals perform a 50-minute pedicure and 40-minute manicure. The experienced techs use completely sanitized tools to remove foot calluses softened by a hydrating whirlpool soak, exfoliate superfluous skin cells, and remove rogue cuticles from the hands and feet.

A soothing massage further indulges extremities’ egos before skilled tip technicians shape and coat nails with premium OPI polish. Aromatherapy heightens relaxation as clients undergo total nail renovation and limbs are lulled into a lethargy rivaling that of a tryptophan-encrusted turkey. This Groupon is also good for 10 per cent off retail purchases, 15 per cent off any service upgrades, and 20 per cent off any salon or spa services on your second visit.

Illuminated by the glow of crystal chandeliers and natural skylights, the serene salon offers patrons a welcome respite from the toaster pastries and senseless acts of fashion that characterize the outside world.

Reviews
Beauté Légère has received some excellent press, including a feature by the YWCA. The salon sponsored hair for a fashion show called Style Unwrapped, and client Andy Maxwell and his hairdo were featured in the Sun.

All India Restaurant
1188 Davie St., Vancouver, British Columbia
http://allindiarestaurant.com/contact.php

Today’s Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of authentic Indian fare at All India on Davie.

All India’s extensive dinner menu foreshadows tales of authentic curries and tandoori entrees forked and spooned into eager mouths in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Punch up blasé palates with potato-infused vegetable samosas ($4.95) before diving into a hearty tandoori-baked entree of chicken tikka marinated in garlic, ginger, onion, and yogurt ($11.95), or prawns baked to succulent succulence in a traditional clay oven ($13.95). Delight in the creamy decadence of lamb shahi korma covered in cashew sauce ($12.95), or savour the richness of house-favourite butter chicken, swimming beneath a spicy drizzling of dairy-based butter sauce ($12.95). Herbivores can successfully avoid kingdom Animalia with a bowl of mattar paneer, a curry of fresh cheese, peas, and onion gravy ($10.95), or aloo gobhi, a starchy selection of cauliflower and potatoes dressed in spicy sauce ($10.95) fit to sop up with warm garlic naan ($2.25) or ultra-absorbent sweater vests.

Enjoy the restaurant’s sleek black furniture, Indian-inspired art, and whimsical checkered floor while sipping a quaffable from All India’s drink menu, such as wine by the glass ($5.95–$7.95) or an imported bottle of Kingfisher or Taj Mahal beer ($5.95). Conclude festive feasts with an extreme gulab jamun, a deep-fried dough ball soaked in honey syrup and served a flambé to ward off stray honey bees and aggressive Pooh bears ($5.50).

Reviews
Eight Yelpers give All India on Davie an average of 3.5 stars. Sixty-nine per cent of Urbanspooners recommend it.

Make glorious music that makes inanimate objects jealous with today’s Groupon: for $87, you get a small-group introductory DJ course followed by one hour of practice time (a $175 value) at School of Remix on Dunlevy Street.

A host of professional DJs armed with a suite of sound-shaping implements staff School of Remix, a mixing and scratching academy where fledgling DJs earn their wings. Turn fertile brainwaves into tuneful soundwaves with the aid of an hour-long introductory course in DJing, where knowing soundsmiths illustrate the principles of beat-matching, simple mixing concepts, proper use of equipment, and techniques to induce crowds to pump fists at the ceiling rather than your face. Professional DJs from Vancouver’s club scene lead School of Remix’s one-on-one sessions, where their encouragement and individual guidance sets neophytes on the path to party demigod-hood.

Students can use their home compu-portals to view the School of Remix studios, where they may someday raise lost beats from the grave and commune with the ghosts of mixes past. School of Remix also employs one of the only living humans certified to teach Ableton music software in Western Canada, who passes on his knowledge only to those who prove their valour in singles tennis.

A fanciful, haute cuisine haven, Al Porto whisks palates on a polished journey through traditional Italian fare amidst a warm, rustic interior.

Diners disdainful of discuses can opt for heartier dishes, such as the herb-dijon-encrusted lamb with rosemary demi sauce ($27.95) or the seared halibut with tarragon and lemon butter sauce ($23.95). Fortify your feast with an intoxicating moat—Al Porto’s offers a dizzying array of fine Italian and global wines.

The main dining room features mosaic tiles, terra cotta arches, and colourful murals of Tuscan pastoralia, well-suited for a romantic evening of eyelash fluttering and nostril wiggling. Regal recluses can also settle into the sunny, spacious loft, with elegant eggshell walls and a private bar. Situated near the waterfront, satiated saturnaliasts can meander through the surrounding environs for languid window-shopping or a romantic stroll through Portside Park.

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get two tickets to the BC Home + Garden Show (up to a $30 value including GST) at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

With more than 425 exhibitors, celebrity guests, and three stages of events and attractions, the BC Home + Garden Show quells decoration disquietude and home-repair rancour. The show, like a sole human at a stuffed-animal tea party, dutifully plays host to the latest product lines and features displays on interior design, renovation, and home entertainment. Bryan Baeumler, host of HGTV’s Disaster DIY, and a gaggle of other celebrity guests and local experts answer questions and lead seminars on the dos and don’ts of renovation, design trends for 2011, and programming homes to narrate apocalyptic sci-fi tales.

After cutting a swath through the dense forest of gardening implements and vintage lamps, grant foraging feet a rest at the patio lounge. Parched gardeners can test their new watering cans with a cocktail upon the lounge’s artificial lawn, and appreciators of the fine art of crafting fine art can peruse the urban market, a gallery and shop displaying the fine arts, pottery, and sculpture of local and West Coast craftspeople.
