&nbsp;

And then <a href="http://livingsocial.com" target="_blank"><strong>Living Social</strong> </a>sent me a deal I couldn't refuse:  an Oxygen Facial at a greatly reduced price.

&nbsp;

I was curious.  My friend, Britt, has raved about Oxygen Facials since I started working with her a few years back.

&nbsp;
<ul>
	<li>Relaxing</li>
	<li>Lotions and potions that plumped up my skin while making me crave sweets (they smelled like pumpkin pie and lemon custard)</li>
	<li>No irritation or breakouts</li>
	<li>Yes, yes, yes.  TOxygen Tank gimmick is probably just that.  A gimmick.  It felt lovely though.</li>
	<li>Perky staff</li>
	<li>My pores thanked me.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

I, in turn, thank YOU, Living Social, for making it easier and more affordable for the masses to experiment and broaden their quirky horizons.
