There are so many great daily deals out there for pampering and treating yourself out. So it got us thinking: what if some of these deals were transformed so that they were exclusively for couples? What would they turn out to be like? Check out some deals that we have converted:
(Original deal: $120 for 15 Units of Botox at Recharge Medical and Day Spa)
(Original deal: $100 for $200 worth of Liposuction Services in one area)
($79 for Highlights or Color @ Mike Page Style Lab ($160 Value)
Would you go on a date and use one of those deals with your significant other? What do you think about it? Sound off in our comments section! We hope you are enjoying the summer LifestaLovers!

Happy Friday everyone!

Simply put, I love social media. Luckily I have the opportunity to do it for a living at Lifesta. We are a very social media driven company (be sure to add us on Facebook and Twitter!). We tweet deals to you, our amazing followers, have fun iPad 2 contests for Facebook fans, and love to interact and engage with you. It’s definitely a powerful tool to connect with fans.
But what is the actual power of social media on an individual basis? It just so happens that one of my friends told me this past week that he doesn’t believe in the power of LinkedIn and other social media sites. So we made a bet (to his dismay). Check out the dialogue below:
So, from then on, I decided to run my own experiment on my LinkedIn account last week. I posted this message on LinkedIn:
“I had a bet with one of my friends today. He thinks that using LinkedIn is a waste of time and does not see the benefit. So he has agreed to give me $1 for every like/comment I get. Considering I have over 555 connections I’m sure I can get something out of this! Start liking and commenting on this update people!” Check out the post here.
Let’s just say that in a week’s time and after 3,350 likes, 999 comments, and over 200 profile views per day, my friend most definitely lost his bet. That, my friends, is the power of social media!
What do you think? Tell us your experiences with social media!

HQ?: My guess would be 150, but common sense dictates 42. Probably somewhere in between.

Our very own Eran came across this deal the other day and I wish you were here to see his reaction. We don’t come across deals very often that has had such an effect on him like this one does. Check it out below!
Let’s Evaluate: Who photoshopped this photo for the deal? Our photoshop artist can mess up photos for up to 50%off!
It’s a shame that as a result of this photoshop fiasco, this has been stamped a deal fail for misrepresenting the deal! Not to mention that this is promoting a hair salon, but the deal is for getting a manicure or pedicure!
And it also gets the ‘LifestaLarryLook ‘
Happy Friday everyone, and have a safe holiday weekend.

It’s not very often we come across deals that scream FAIL when you read the headline! Check out today’s deal for Men’s Life-Coaching below:
Let’s Evaluate: First off, let’s take a look at this statement from the deal; “for far too long men have been pummeled with messages bent on confusing them about their roles… this assault upon men has worked exceptionally well.” Ok, who pummeled and assaulted them? Since women are normally not prone to assault and pummeling, was it androgynous human beings? UFOs? Zombies? What psychologist has validated this statement?
We are rolling here at the Lifesta headquarters and need a little life coaching after reading this deal. We instantly stamp this one a deal FAIL!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there! It’s never too late to get them something they’ll love on Lifesta!

Yesterday we posted a guide to getting your dad the best deals for Father’s Day from Lifesta. Check out today’s “Deal or no Deal”, and find out why it SHOULDN’T be on your gift list:
Let’s Evaluate: This is Groupon’s version of a Father’s Day gift. It’s not valid on Father’s Day, can’t be used by fathers, and many other restrictions apply. We can’t decide if the underage model is included, or if it’s just an incestuous photo. This has been stamped a Father’s Day deal FAIL!

You know the American wedding saying “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue”, right?
For my San Francisco Lifesta day, I searched for something bold, something spoiling, something cold, something surprising.
I wanted a fun day with minimal pay. Lifesta seems to offer the best way of doing it. I am NOT about planning weeks ahead, not about going out of my way unless it’s well worth it, and like all of us, I love a good deal.
So here’s my Lifesta day:
Have the day’s first latte @ home, head to the city.
Start the day with some serious spoiling. I mean getting pampered and spoiled, head to toes. How can I resist $95 for $210 Worth of Spa Services at I-Spa at the InterContinental? [details at bottom]
Off the SPA menu, I picked 3 treatments, spoiling hands, feet and face. Essential Manicure,Essential Pedicure and the Age Defying Facial with Antioxidants.
One gets all soft and spoiled reading the description of the mani-pedi, “Essential oil extracts indulge your skin and soothe your senses. A warm soak is followed by a luxurious exfoliating scrub and massage. Warm paraffin, polish and complete nail grooming included.
three hours of me, me, me.
Total: $240. I have to add $30 [+tip] and it’s still a great bargain.
Spoiling? oh yes. There’s a silly smile on my face. Am so ready for something bold.
I’m heading to the Ottimista Enoteca-Cafe. With the Lifesta coupon for $15, I get $40 to spend here. By now it’s after 2 PM, they are open and I can really enjoy myself. I’m gonna sit and relax for a while. I start with the roasted almonds [$4] and a quartino of the Inzolia, Cantina Barbera, 2009, Sicilia [$14]. People watching and a book complete my relaxation. The Art of Choosing is a perfect read when I choose to enjoy a mid-week spoiling day. Who knows, maybe a guy in the next table will strike a conversation? Is this too bold? Meanwhile, almonds are gone, there’s wine left in my quartino and I’m hungry. I order the orecchiette / rapini / garlic / ricotta salata [$15]. Espresso and a doughnut [$2.5+6] are the sweet ending. Some small talk, a couple of pages progress in my book. [details at bottom]
Bold? definitely.
I’m almost ready to head home. From Ottimista Enoteca-Cafe, I take a walk. Between I-SPA and Ottimista, I’m happy head to toes. It’s time for something cold.
Lifesta offers a Bombay Ice-Cream $10 goodness for $5 coupon, and I’m ready for the cold goodness. Coupon is a bit vague; nothing that a quick phone call didn’t fix.
Of the menu, I pick the chicku and fog ice-cream. After tasting fresh chicku in India, there’s no way I’m passing on chicku ice-cream. It’s the only form of chicku available outside India. [details at bottom]
Cold – done.
I know you are about to ask me about the “surprising” part of the day. But hey, if I tell you now, how would it be a surprise. You’ll get yours, I’m sure.
