Award-winning artist and illustrator Crystal Beshara’s worldly expertise enlightens students to the fundamentals of art composition in a variety of mediums. Inspiration-wielders can choose between two beginner-level classes to learn how to create their own frameable arias and to start on the epic personal journey that leads to changing one’s name into a symbol. The Intro to Watercolour class takes students through the basics of selecting the right colours and materials for masterpieces-to-be, followed by a how-to demonstration by Crystal on introductory techniques such as painting skies, trees, and flower petals. For a hands-on helping of technique, students may select Intro to Pencil Drawing, which covers light, shading, 3-D skills, and other line-based acrobatic feats of graphite. All course supplies are included in the value of this Groupon, and growing prodigies also receive 15% off any other weekly class or one day workshop to shower walls with personally-crafted splendour or to gift loved ones the unreturnable.

Like fine marble statues, human bodies must be touched up on a regular basis lest their surfaces dull, their north sides moss, and their forearms fall off. Lavish your life vehicle with today’s Groupon to Numi Med Spa in Nepean. Choose from the following options:

  • For $29, you get $60 worth of waxing services.
  • For $99, you get two chemical peels or two chemical dermabrasions (up to a $260 value).
  • For $139, you get two photo-rejuvenation sessions (a $360 value).

Numi Med Spa’s aestheticians smooth away imperfections on all areas of the corporal canvas using state-of-the-art technology and products. Each treatment begins with a complimentary consultation, giving budding beauties the opportunity to discuss individual needs and desires with their technician. Two waxing methods—hard wax for coarser, darker hair and strip wax for any hair type—help eradicate unwanted body weeds as efficiently as tearing off a homemade duct-tape shirt. Choose from a variety of areas, ranging from upper lip ($12) to Brazilian bikini ($55) to full leg ($70).

Clients hoping to restore the bloom of youth without the use of industrial fertilizers can opt for Novacid facial services, with a choice between two acid peeling complexes or two chemical dermabrasions. The nine-acid peel complex refines the skin’s surface, dismissing pigmentation, residual scars, surface wrinkles, and other epidermal flaws with a stern lecture. Chemical dermabrasion, on the other hand, aims to decongest pores, clear blemishes, and smooth fine lines with non-invasive exfoliation. Both treatments can result in bright, hydrated, and soft skin that radiates confidence and fosters a dapper mug shot.

Those concerned with premature aging are reassured after two 45-minute photo-rejuvenation sessions, reversing the clock on sun damage, fine lines, deep wrinkles, and more without having to invest in pricey time-turning helmets.
