A day at the spa grants sweet respite from a fast-paced world of errands, deadlines, and books on tape read by auctioneers. Savor serenity without speediness, thanks to today's Groupon to Woodhouse Day Spa in Franklin. Choose from the following options:

• For $60, you get an 80-minute Swedish massage (a $125 value).
• For $70, you get a mani-pedi (a $140 value).
• For $300, you get six microdermabrasion treatments (a $625 value; $125/treatment, though Woodhouse offers a built-in bonus treatment when customers purchase 6 treatments).

Twinkling chandeliers accent the wooden confines of Woodhouse Day Spa, where guests inhale aromatic scents as they undergo body burnishing services. Before treatments begin, guests can sip a glass of tea or wine and don one of the spa's luxurious robes, thereby sealing themselves in relaxing vibes like a person in a vacuum-packed hammock. The strokes of a Swedish massage prod bodies, increasing circulation with 80-minutes of lightly-pressured kneads. During the manicure and pedicure, nail nurses buff, file, and polish digit caps until they sparkle. Lavish treatments enhance the experience, from an aromatic-oil application and a volcanic-stone massage to a skin-smoothing mask.

Aestheticians buff skin to unveil smooth, youthful visages with a sextet of microdermabrasion treatments, during which antioxidants infiltrate the face to stimulate cell renewal. The procedure can banish signs of the passage of time, including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and sun dials drawn in crayon on the forehead.
