OK, So you guys know my plan to become a “Momshell” by the end of the year – and stay that way – ….OMG is it possible to be a pregnant momshell? Well, we’ll cross that bridge if/when we come to it….
Anywaaaay… I’m getting in gear and Groupon’s helping me. Well, not just Groupon, I’m using Yipit, which is a social buying site aggregator, so it’s got groupon, living social, google deals, gilt…. all of em.
So far I’ve found groupon deals for:
Invisalign:
So ready to get these and get my teeth straight again. It’s kinda pricey, so I’m using my business earnings to pay it off. It’ll hurt seeing the bank account drop, but the pain will be eased as I watch my teeth shift back to awesome.. ($6k usually, $3k w/ groupon)
Teeth Whitening:
I want to do this before and after invisaligning. I love my dentist to death, she’s the bestest, but charges 500 for whitening. these deals are just $99!
Bally’s Gym:
I got a month for $9! I already told you about this and my dreadmilling. ($39 usual, $9 w/ groupon)
Laser Hair Removal:
I’ve wanted this for ever, but was nervous because I hear mixed things about it on black skin. My two cousins got this done using the gentle YAG laser and boht of them couldn’t be happier. So I’m psyched! ($600 for 6 sessions usually, $99 for 6 sessions w/ groupon)
Gel Mani/Pedis:
I’ve done this only once (actually it was the day I found out I was really pregnant, October 1, 2011, so I’ll never forget it) and now I hear all these bad things about the light they use so I’m not sure I’ll do it again. I gotta research because I loved how long it lasted. ($40 mani $30 pedi usually / $29 mani/pedi combo with groupon)
Hot Yoga:
On the hunt for a place that’s close by cuz real talk, I know I won’t be dragging my behind to manhattan just to bend and sweat. I did find some yoga and pilates programs on demand so I’ve been trying those. I love classes more, but it’s good for now…and FREE! ($300/mo usually, $99 or $129/mo with groupon)
Lashes:
I may get this done while in Florida actually. My cousin’s look amazing, natural and gorgeous…but it’s pricey. there’s a place by my house that does them for $20…but I just feel like it may not be….up to snuff. I refuse to look like those chicks who wear those thick doll lashes…do you know what I’m talking about? How creepy are those?! ::shudder:: ($90-300 usually, $60 with groupon)
Facials:
I wanted to do one of these a month, but I think I’ll do once a quarter. My mom got me this cool thing, and I have this brush thingy so I’ll do this on my own and try to get my skin in order. (varies, but it seems to save about $30-70 depending on the spot)
I haven’t purchased them all yet, but I’m stalking yipit daily for good deals in locations that are near me.
Have you gotten any good groupon deals lately? Have you tried any of the services I listed above? How’d it work out for you?
Groupon and Living Social are my new best friends. I scored a massage for $15 dollars and got Just Dance 4 for $19! That game is truly a workout and so much fun!
I plan on restarting Insanity to whip my booty in to shape. I’m determined to finish it this time!

I call them tarantula lashes. Walking around looking like spiders chilling on their eyelids. I entertained getting my done but I’m not out in the world enough for them to make sense.
I said the same thing about getting facials. I think I have been doing a fairly decent job at sticking to my at home regimen but facials feel so good. I need to check Groupon out more often and see what I can find in this area.

LOL!!! Tarantula lashes, you’re so right!
I have done and am still doing Laser Hair Removal. It’s been good to me, but perhaps too good. Soo good that I am afraid of trying it anywhere else, even though my current place is soo expensive. If I need another session after this package, I’ll try to venture out to Groupon/Living Social.
I’d love to do teeth whitening, but think I will save it up for a big occasion like when I get married or something. LOL, not sure why it needs to be a once in a lifetime event, but yeah.
I did laser hair removal and too was skeptical on how it reacted on dark skin. They couldn’t guarantee results, but told me the technology was effective on dark skin, but unfortunately, the hair grew back so I’m back to waxing/threading. It was good for slowing hair growth temporarily but I really wanted it gone!
