$29 for a Traditional Manicure with Chocolate or Mojito Spa Pedicure at Bella Nails in Mandeville ($62 Value)
Without nails, hard-to-reach spots would forever itch and digits would be too delicate to put on finger-puppet renditions of Die Hard . Appreciate your multifunctional features with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get a traditional manicure and either a mojito spa pedicure or a Chocolate Buzz spa pedicure at Bella Nails in Mandeville (a $62 value). The technicians at Bella Nails dash their mani-pedi mastery with chocolate and mint flavored foot scrubs. During a traditional manicure, nail design gurus shape talons, trim cuticles, sooth hands with a light massage, and feed each client a spoonful of polish. Opt for the chocolate buzz pedi, which spruces and polishes the toenails after techs apply a semisweet foot exfoliation with a chocolate scrub and silky mask. Hot rocks and paraffin wax balance massage with moisture, just as chocolate lotion arrives to leave feet as polished as a chocolate bunny’s Bentley. Alternatively, a pedicure powered by Mojito aromas can jump start lethargic feet with an invigorating scrub and nourishing masks charged with a minty tingle. In addition to hot stones and paraffin, the Mojito pedi wraps the lower legs and feet in comforting hot towels before a final massage leaves feet limber enough to play footsy under a police interrogation table. Throughout the 80-minute mani-pedi marathon, clients recline in lime green spa chairs with comfortable headrests.

18-Hole Round of Golf for Two or Four Including Cart Rental at Cypress Lakes Country Club in Destrehan (Up to 51% Off)
Golf club designers often consult aerospace engineers to fulfill dreams of experimental-alloy drivers and converting the solar system into a nine-hole executive course. Take your game to the next frontier with today’s Groupon to Cypress Lakes Country Club in Destrehan. Choose between the following options: For $45, you get an 18-hole round of golf for two including cart rental (up to a $90 value). For $89, you get an 18-hole round of golf for four including cart rental (up to a $180 value). Cleaved into a verdant expanse populated with 20-year-old cypress trees and 17 tranquil ponds, Cypress Lakes Country Club’s 18-hole course tumbles across 6,556 yards of challenging tee-to-green terrain. Waterways and wetlands complicate play on virtually every hole throughout the pristine par 72, giving advantage to players who can confidently select the right club to clear a forced carry or bribe gullible waterfowl to extract their sunken balls. Well-manicured bermuda grass supplies eminent playability to both the fairways and the greens, which at times appear as narrow landing strips in a course populated by so much water. By the end of the round, linksmen become callous to water’s intimidating ripples, allowing them to trace a towering drive over the aquatic forced carry that stands in front of the 18th tee, setting up a second shot that could allow players to tap in for a stunning birdie or three-putt for a breathtaking double bogey to conclude the round with dramatic flair. Course at a Glance: 18-hole, par 72 course Bermuda-grass fairways and greens Length of 6,556 yards from the farthest tees Course rating of 71.9 from the farthest tees Slope rating of 126 from the farthest tees Link to scorecard Though Cypress Lakes Country Club sometimes offers discounted rates online, this Groupon is still the best deal around.
