Like the BBC News and the definition of chips, SpeedLA Dating offers a British spin on familiar American tropes. The speed-dating sessions eschew noisy whistles and impersonal nametags for civilized conclusions to conversation and an email about fellow attendees prior to the event. Chic consultants also provide free makeovers for ladies 30 minutes before each event, ensuring lasses look their best and their emotionally needy lipsticks feel useful. SpeedLA frequently previews its events on its Facebook page.

Watching the simple, repetitive motion of a swaying pendulum is enough to hypnotize most people, though a few require the more intricate repetitions of watching a parliamentary debate. Alter your consciousness with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get a relationship-breakthrough hypnosis session at Liberate Emporium (a $125 value). At Liberate Emporium, hypnotherapists spend roughly 75 minutes illuminating the patterns in clients’ thwarted quests for compatible romantic partners.

The therapy increases receptiveness to advice by inducing a state of deep relaxation, akin to lying on a feather bed stacked atop a waterbed while dressed in a suit of pillows. Patrons leave in a calmer frame of mind, ready to seek true love with an increased awareness of their potentially relationship-sabotaging behaviors.Groupon SaysThe Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman Read more...

Tots and tot-wranglers tumble through trust exercises on the padded floors during Parent and Me courses, and ripening youngsters in KinderGym acquire basic skills for using competitive equipment, building strength, and dishing acceptable Olympic smack talk. Beginner and intermediate classes steadily progress through more complex movements as students leave the observable laws of gravity farther and farther behind by creating personal sequences and routines. The skills gleaned in tumbling sessions supplement the physical repertoire of athletes pursuing dance, cheerleading, martial arts, and even free running, the most impressive form of tax evasion known to man.

Though rubber-banding a photograph to a roly-poly super ball increases its utility, its picture quality plummets after playing just a few rounds of fetch. Put a photo in a durable place with today's Groupon: for $45, you get one 16"x20"x1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas from Canvas on Demand (a $126.95 value).

Double-knotted silk thread runs like a thin, glittering highway through the necklace’s string of high-grade pearls, which come full circle at the behest of a sterling-silver clasp. For an additional cost, customers can upgrade clasps or backings to yellow or white gold, much as travelers can upgrade to a first-class plane seat by giving jewelry to a flight attendant. In their quest for a position in someone's jewelry, freshwater pearls must first escape from the greedy mollusks that lurk in the rivers and lakes of China. After this, it isn't long before their legendary whites and pinks are noticed by high-stakes marbles players or Laguna Pearl's jewelers, whose offline wholesale roots now support a blossoming online business that cuts out the retail middlemen and all their wallet-crushing markups.Groupon SaysThe Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman Read more...

Award-Winning Weight-Loss Retreat Near Sunny Pacific Coast The long-running hit reality show The Biggest Loser has portrayed its contestants' intense physical and emotional challenges as they strive to shed pounds and reorganize their lifestyle choices. Season winners invariably emerge from the competition sporting a completely reshaped physique, often 100–150 pounds lighter than when they started. Cultivating a commitment to strict exercise and nutritional regimens is at the core of The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge, Malibu, winner of Spa magazine's 2011 Reader's Choice Award for Best Weight-Loss Spa, as well as the No. 1 ranking in Spas of America's Top 100 Spas of 2011. The resort's weight-loss program blends exercise, healthy meals, and lifestyle seminars into a daily schedule that begins at 6 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m. Certified personal trainers jump-start mornings with hikes through the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, with varied terrain that allows for routes tailored to every fitness level. Nutritious, low-calorie meals—designed by registered dieticians and prepared under the direction of Culinary Institute of America graduate Rodolfo Reyes—fuel additional exercise throughout the day, ranging from water aerobics to kickboxing to mental challenges. In between endorphin blasts, groups attend lectures on weight training and nutrition education, including food-label reading and how to turn old pizza boxes into an obstacle course. At the end of the week, trainers record each guest's weight and measurements and note their progress. Guests constantly support one another, encouraging others to push farther than they thought they could go. This intense shared experience helps participants stick with a healthier lifestyle after the program's conclusion.

Like cliff diving or ferret ownership, football is an endeavor best watched from the sidelines. Witness acts of bodily bravery with today's GrouponLive deal to see two Lingerie Football League playoff games at Citizens Business Bank Arena on Sunday, January 29. All seating will be in lower-level sideline sections 102–106 and 114–118. Choose between the following options: For $17, you get one ticket (up to a $44.50 value, including all fees).

In the Eastern Conference game, Breeze quarterback K.K. Matheny kicks off the afternoon with crisp passes, pitted against Passion running back and reigning LFL offensive player of the year Marirose Roach. At 2:30 p.m., defending two-time champions the Los Angeles Temptation storm the field seeking their third straight Western Conference championship and the garter belts they lost the last time they played the arena. Countering their aggressive style, Sin star defensive end Sunshine Misa-Uli wields her full-contact fury to pummel running backs at the line, wallop wide receivers across the middle, and intimidate concession-stand workers into offering free soda refills. The Lingerie Football League has drawn its share of enthusiasts and detractors. Rick Chandler of NBC Sports dubbed it “the fastest-growing sports league in the nation,” though some critics argue that petite pads and bikini bottoms besmirch the purity of the pigskin. From seats on the sidelines, fans can decide for themselves whether lingerie-clad ladies bear a new torch for the sport or whether they blemish the hallowed football halls that are regularly mopped by foam-finger sponges and Mike Ditka mustaches.Groupon SaysGroupon Guide to: Secret Founding FathersDid Frank N.

Like glaciers and tectonic plates, teeth are slowly yet surely on the move as they attempt to turn their host’s mouth into frozen tundra and then rip it apart like a bite-size Pangaea. Defeat devious teeth with today’s Groupon: for $2,899, you get a complete Invisalign treatment (up to a $6,350 value) at Steven Donia, DDS, in Encino.

Steven Donia, DDS has been named an Invisalign Premier Preferred Provider and was featured on Extreme Makeover in 2006. Dr. Donia crafts camera-ready grills using a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics, and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial appointment includes an exam, x-rays and digital impressions by a sophisticated Cadent iTero machine, which snaps detailed, precise 3-D images of mouth terrains without the discomfort of traditional dental impressions. The exam paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment. View some Invisalign FAQs here. Depending on the client’s teeth, as few as 12 or as many as 48 separate aligners will need to be worn during a period of 6–15 months, before the straightening effect finally self-actuates in a sudden burst of pink smoke and slobber. Aligners are swapped out at included follow-up visits every six to eight weeks, and should only be removed when eating, brushing, flossing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw. Inquisitive clients can view Dr. Donia's online videos, which feature patient testimonials and educational clips. Groupon SaysGroupon Guide to: Secret Founding FathersDid Frank N.
