$45 for a Custom Facial and Eyebrow Touchup Waxing Services at La Spa Ligonier in Ligonier ($95 Value)

A face can both hide and reveal a person’s age, just as a hand can both hide and reveal a child’s nose after an uncle has mysteriously removed it. Enlist the magic of cosmetology with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get a customized European spa facial (an $80 value) and eyebrow touchup waxing (a $15 value) at La Spa Ligonier (a $95 total value). Located within a stately, 1870s structure, La Spa Ligonier beautifies clients with a full array of spa services performed by a qualified staff . A 75-minute custom European spa facial pampers visages with a thorough cleansing that employs botanical Vagheggi products specially chosen for each customer’s skin type, needs, and ability to refract light. After a mild cleansing unveils the dermal canvas, staff members coax out impurities with a dynamic duo of exfoliation and deep pore cleansing, then they tone skin with a pH-balancing treatment. A gentle facial massage soothes muscular tension caused from holding a poker face at a yawning convention, and a custom mask refreshes visages. Guests venture even deeper into a state of relaxation with the help of aromatherapy and a heated, therapeutic massage for the hands and feet. Lastly, a waxing touchup tidies eyebrows without diminishing their ocular umbrella capabilities.

$10 for $20 Worth of Gourmet Popcorn at Popcorn-N-That

Before popcorn gained popularity, unpopped kernels were only useful for pellet-gun ammo, crow dentures, and bartering for snake oil. Relish rags-to-riches gastronomy with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of gourmet popcorn at Popcorn-N-That , with locations in Wexford and Ambridge. Popcorn-N-That’s explosive technicians stoke hungry stomachs with more than 20 varieties of made-from-scratch puffs. Hard-bodied kernels are air popped into snowy swans, which are then stowed in bags designed to ambush sweet cravings with sticky kisses. Confectionery caramel corn—constructed to the specs of a half-century-old family recipe—shines both solo ($9.49 / lb.) and as the backbone of numerous decadent variations. Wear your heart between your molars with black-and-gold candied Burgh bits ($11.50 / lb.), or sic sweet teeth on a kerfuffle of carmelized puffs, almonds, and coconut tangled together in chocolate ribbons ($12.49 / lb.). Monthly limited-edition flavors celebrate seasonal changes, such as August’s camp-fiery s’mores bites and September’s back-to-school blend of caramel-apple corn, drizzled with white chocolate and graphing calculators.

$10 for Peach Festival Outing for Up to Four at Triple B Farms in Monongahela (Up to $20 Value)

Compared to fruits from far-off places, fruits picked nearby are fresher, riper, and have an easier time acclimating to your kitchen’s imposed legal drinking age. Mitigate culinary culture shock with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get admission for four to the annual Peach Festival at Triple B Farms in Monongahela on August 13–14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (up to a $20 value, including tax). This Groupon is good for admission only. The fruit experts at Triple B Farms invite Pittsburgh-area crop gatherers to fill farm-supplied baskets with fresh-grown seasonal fruits and enjoy a plethora of family-friendly games and activities. After arriving at the Peach Festival and donning the stylish all-day-access wristband, guests are free to explore the cornucopia of peach concoctions, desserts, and smoothies, taking down ideas for recipes and pointers for knitting peach fuzz into sweaters. Triple B’s peaches enter the sweet spot of the harvest season around mid-July, and usually remain plump and juicy through mid-September, placing the festival at the apex of picking time for both traditional yellow and small white peaches ($1.69/lb. for pick-your-own peaches, not included with today’s Groupon). The delicious fruit’s devotees turn out en masse every year for the annual festival, which is a celebration of all things peach, including an all-ages obstacle course and a question-and-answer session with famous peaches. Triple B Farms’ Peach Festival also entertains children with a playground, farm animals, giant slides, and a rope maze, freeing parents to peruse the farm’s expansive selection of fresh-grown produce, baked goods, jams, and rustic lifestyle guides.
