A recent family reunion was the perfect time to introduce my new husband to the family, but I was really concerned about how he would be perceived.  As the time for the reunion drew nearer, I was reminded of how we could make the event more fun by bringing along our wedding photos and videos to share with family and friends who had not attended our wedding.  It had been months since I had looked at the photos and when I did I was reminded how much we loved each other and how good we had looked that day.

We had a great time at the reunion.   My family loved my husband and our photos and videos were a big hit.  One of my cousins asked about the beautiful eyelashes I was wearing in the photos.  She was shocked to learn that I had used a Groupon for a local salon to get mine done for 50% off the regular price.  They were high-end mink lashes,  I told her, and I got them for only $149 by using an online coupon which made it really easy to afford.  I just applied the coupon from my phone.  That’s the beauty of Groupon local.  You can shop online for goods and services and find great savings right in your neighborhood at chic places you might have only dreamed of entering if you won the lottery.  Now you can save that money you’d spend on lottery tickets and buy a Groupon instead.  In fact, you’ll get $25 off your first deal just for trying the service.  That’s more than I won playing the lottery last year.

I showed my cousin how to apply the Groupon to get the same eyelash set I had.  She couldn’t believe that lush, mink eyelashes were available on her budget.  And I told her to expect the same level of professional service as anyone else in the salon.  I sure did.  Groupon rates don’t mean cut rate service.  The staff who waited on me was friendly, professional and the results were fantastic.  I even got a fill as part of the deal.  And I loved that at this same location they offered eyelash and eyebrow services like tinting, waxing, threading and more.

As it turns out, my cousin announced her engagement at the family reunion so there was even more to celebrate.  Now that she knows how to access Grouponcooupons, she’s making plans and saving money just like I did.
