I hope none of you missed out on the HOT Groupon deal from yesterday (Gap’s $25 for $50 deal). Groupon ran the same deal across each city in North America and it was shocking to see how many people bought the deal. Here’s a sample 500+ in Calgary, 4000+ in Vancouver, 4500+ in Toronto, 14,000+ in NY and over 22,000 in Chicago! So many people were buying the deal that it almost took down Groupon’s website.

Today’s deal is a 3-day sale and ends midnight on Sunday, August 22, 2010.

Human faces experience a lifetime of wear and tear from gravity, driving into the wind, and pineapple-pie-eating contests. Today’s Groupon lets you restore your cheeks’ original splendour: for $48, you get a diamond microdermabrasion treatment plus a makeup touch-up at Le Petit Spa (a $100.80 value, including tax). With this deal, you can also get 20% off of Dermalogica skincare products and Jane Iredale mineral products purchased during your visit.

Le Petit Spa boasts a relaxing French-country atmosphere, and the certified dermabrasiors who populate its hallways will happily perform the non-invasive procedure with the sensitivity of professional egg-jugglers. A diamond microdermabrasion session touches a diamond-encrusted wand directly to your face to gently scrub away the mask of dead skin to reveal your newly minted, youthful mug. The treatment also includes a thorough pre-clean and a post-procedure moisturizer application to ensure your ready-to-wear face is protected from harmful UV rays and drifting dandelion petals. After the treatment, you’ll also get a mineral-makeup touchup with Jane Iredale products to ensure your head is street-ready.

This is a very good deal. It’s pretty unique to see Groupon or any of the daily deals sites to offer an incredible 50% off discount to a popular international corporation. They tend to promote small to medium sized local businesses. I’m not complaining though. Too bad there’s a limit of only 1 person or else I would have bought more.

Benton Brothers Fine Cheese

Vancouver, British Columbia

Artisan cheese, like sporks, moulded gelatin, and David Lee Roth, classes up any meal it walks into. Today’s Groupon gets you a taste of the classy curds: for $10, you get $20 worth of cheese, charcuterie, and more at Benton Brothers Fine Cheese.

The family-owned boutique offers an abundant selection of small-scale and artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and accompaniments in a quaint Kerrisdale fromagerie. Cheeses are hand-selected by the in-house experts, and the rotating selection of more than 150 varieties of cow, goat, and sheep’s curds is thoroughly researched for history, flavour profiling, wine pairing, and favourite bands before hitting the cooler. Indulge in the creamy cow’s milk Quebecoise Bleu Bénédictin ($5.95 per 100g), and savour the slightly mushroomy, slightly salty flavour of the deeply veined monk-made blue. Grab a block of the semi-hard sheep’s milk pecorino Toscano and grate the fragrant fromage over your next pasta, cheesecake, or salad. For fromageophobes, Benton Brothers offers a bounty of locally made charcuterie and cheese accompaniments, to ensure all guests at your next cheese-themed soiree can sup stress-free.

All of Benton Brothers’ curds are fresh and never vacuum-sealed, ensuring a top-quality plate of night cheese for hungry, sofa-top snackers.

The day-long urban adventure begins around 9:30 a.m., when your carriage, or tour bus, picks you up at your hotel or at the passenger loading zone of Canada Place. You’ll enjoy the lively narration of an on-bus tour guide as you weave through the city streets, exploring artsy Kitsilano before disembarking for a beach-break at Spanish Banks Beach.
 
Next, you’ll be shuttled to the Vancouver Museum of Anthropology, where you’ll take in the stunning architecture while ambling through the collection of about 36,000 ethnographic objects, about 535,000 archeological objects, and the missing link between man and toaster.
 
After lunching at the museum (the cost of food is not included in this deal, but you will receive a 10%-off voucher to the university’s Sage Bistro), you may wander over to the University of British Columbia’s rose gardens and its traditional Japanese Nitobe Memorial Garden, or opt instead to take in the lush greenery at the UBC Botanical Gardens.
 
Once you’ve absorbed your daily intake of nature, the tour bus will return you to your original pick-up point, five full hours of enriching Vancouvering later.
