Rocking out at a concert instead of in your room lets you bask in the joy of hundreds of fans instead of the silent judgment of hundreds of teddy bears. Get away from their cold, black eyes with this GrouponLive deal to see HM Now, featuring Planetshakers, presented by History Maker at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre on Sunday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get two general-admission tickets (a $20 value).
• For $15, you get four general-admission tickets (a $40 value).

The History Maker youth conference's Night of Worship caps off a weekend of Christian music and spiritual events. Hailing from Australia, Planetshakers wrap their message of praise in soaring pop-rock melodies, with churning guitars and anthemic vocals that inspire enraptured swaying and headbanging in equal measure. Swirling lights and pyrotechnics enliven the music with exuberant explosions, illustrating its explosive message while making every walk toward the restroom feel historically monumental.

Spoken-word poet Propaganda adds his flowing message of hope to the night's proceedings, dexterously dotting rhymes with rhythmic reflections on his faith. The HM Got Talent Contest lets the weekend's participants pit their amazing abilities against one another, and sets by local bands illuminate other inspiring corners of the British Columbia scene.

FTD

Beginning in 1910 as a modest agreement between 15 retail florists to exchange out-of-town delivery orders, FTD now stands as a flower-delivery superhighway that encompasses more than 100 countries. Each independent florist under FTD’s umbrella upholds the company’s allegiance to artistry and dependability as they arrange blooms into birthday, new-baby, or just-because bouquets.

Without cheese, macaroni would have no friends, and humans would never know what the moon tastes like. Celebrate curd culture with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $69 for a two-hour feta- and parmesan-cheese-making class and piece of cheesecake for one person (a $145 value)
• $109 for a two-hour feta- and parmesan-cheese-making class and piece of cheesecake for two people (a $290 value)
• $189 for a two-hour feta- and parmesan-cheese-making class and piece of cheesecake for four people (a $580 value)

During each two-hour class, groups of up to 20 students convene to learn the art and science of DIY cheesemaking. Each guest concocts his or her own 1-pound wheels of feta and 1-pound wheel of parmesan. While crafting their cheeses, guests nosh on a slice of house-made cheesecake. Classes are held up to three times a day on Saturday and Sunday.

River Valley Cheese

Licensed cheese artisan Julie Steil and her husband Rob once crafted cheeses as a part-time hobby, until encouragement from those who had tasted the results prompted them to turn the delectable pastime into a full-time passion. Today, the Steils manage their own herd of goats and cows who lead pampered lives on the couple's 20-acre farm, where a diet of alfalfa, blackberry thickets, and chocolate syrup yield better-tasting milk. The Steils create 21 different cheeses in small batches, ranging from a semihard cheese bathed in raspberry port to a raw milk tomme bathed in Naughty Nellie ale from Pike Brewery. Landing River Valley Cheese on Sunset magazine's list of the Top 100 Cultural Trends Shaping the West, Julie and Rob also share their love of fromage fashioning at hands-on cheese-making classes, where attendees can learn to create their own wheels of fresh and aged cheeses, instead of relying on the questionable quality of the cheeses peddled by door-to-door sales cows.

Orcas Island Golf Course’s rates fluctuate throughout the day, week, and season.

Orcas Island Golf Course

Half a century ago, Orcas Island Golf Course was carved out of a 54-acre estate homestead from the 1800s, rendering a nine-hole course whose contours take advantage of the area’s gently rolling hills and natural water hazards. When developers began salivating over the scenic stretch of land five years ago, local contractor and golfer Kendall Taylor swooped in and saved the course from being transformed into a holding facility for wayward cereal-box mascots, and he has maintained it through the present day with the help of his wife and children.

Covered in astoria bent grass, the course boasts a bucolic atmosphere that echoes the traditional fairways and greens of Scotland. Golfers can tackle the course from a choice of four tee stations, looping through twice for a satisfying 18-hole journey, or hone their skills at a driving range.

Course at a Glance:

• Nine-hole course
• Length of 3,010 yards
• Course rating of 67.8
• Slope rating of 115
• Four tee options
• Link to scorecard

In Hollywood, close-ups are reserved for actors with either striking good looks or rectangular heads with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Boost your screen worthiness with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $249 for two fractional skin-resurfacing treatments for half of the face or neck area (an $800 value)
• $399 for two fractional skin-resurfacing treatments for the full face and neck, décolletage, or the area from the bellybutton to the top of the bikini line (a $1,400 value)
• $99 for one 45-minute IPL photofacial (a $325 value)

In 15–20 minutes, the IPL photofacial showers skin with focused light to speed collagen production, reduce the visibility of sun spots and sun damage, and help treat the appearance of acne and scarring. The treatment is kicked off with an appointment with a physician and a skincare consultation, followed by the IPL photofacial treatment. The roughly 30-minute fractional skin-resurfacing treatment helps to remedy wrinkles, acne, and blemishes in the shape of the Mona Lisa by prodding the skin with Palomar laser energy. Fractional skin-resurfacing patients generally notice results within two to three months, since each procedure relies on the body's natural healing process to replace affected tissue.

Radiant MedSpa

Double-board-certified and licensed cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alex Sobel busies Radiant MedSpa's staff with an array of services that refine skin surfaces. Injectables such as Botox and Sculptra free faces of wrinkles or circles around the eyes that reveal age. IPL photofacials and fractional skin-resurfacing treatments leave skin as brilliant as an Einstein wrapped in reflective tape; the spa's laser systems can also halt hair production in follicles or zap away spider veins. Glycolic or lactic acids reveal youthful skin and fight blemishes during chemical peels, and HCG weight-loss programs bolster weight loss with a combination of booster shots, protein shakes, and vitamins.
