It's a little culture, a little beauty, and a whole lot of fun! Today's Coup at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society gives you Girls:

• $25 for 1-Year Individual Membership (Value $50)
• $39 for 1-Year Family Membership (Value $85)
• $79 for 1-Year Supporter Membership (Value $175)

Founded in 1829, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society is dedicated to encouraging the science and practice of horticulture and developing the public's enjoyment, appreciation, and understanding of plants and the environment. Its headquarters are at Elm Bank on the Wellesley/Dover line where they have installed beautiful theme gardens that merit a visit at any time of year.

My favorite part about today's Coup is that with the membership you girls get FREE tickets to the Boston Flower and Garden Show- which most of you probably know happens in March (just when all of us here in New England are ready to pack our bags and move South after another grueling winter and 4 months of cold and darkness)! Then, POOF! Here comes the Flower show- which is all about color and green and hope that both warmth and the sun's return are not too far away…

And the best part is that you girls get these tickets all while supporting a great cause! The event kicks off on March 14th at the Seaport World Trade Center and wraps up on the 18th. The Boston Flower show is widely recognized as one of the city's best attractions, and is the second largest after the Philly Flower Show. Make sure you Girls redeem your membership before the show date to get these coveted tickets!

My Girls can "swish and flick" with either of these services at FeNom Salon:

• $19 for a Pureology Deep Conditioning Treatment, Blowout & Style ($60 Value)
• $99 for a Keratin Complex Protein Treatment ($249 Value)

PLUS all CoupTessa Members who purchase this Coup will receive $10 off their next full price service!!

The Pureology line is made up of all vegan organic products. They have a system of organic antioxidants that make up their anti-fade complex, which protects your hair color whether it's color treated OR virgin hair. After your Pureology Deep Conditioning Treatment and blowout, you'll also get a styling, which includes ironing work or long curls to better show off the vibrancy of your hair color!

Have you ever wished that your hair was more manageable, softer, and shinier? Now it can be thanks to the Keratin Complex Protein Treatment! This revolutionary smoothing system infuses Keratin deep into the hair cuticle, eliminating up to 95% of frizz and curl - leaving the hair smooth, shiny and luxurious. And best of all, results typically last up to 3-4 months depending on hair type. It rejuvenates and revitalizes the hair, giving it a softer, silkier feel that everyone raves about.

Keratin Complex is formaldehyde free and fills the hair with protein, making it more manageable and reducing the amount of time it takes to blowdry by half. This nourishing treatment actually gives your hair the nutrients it needs and seals the cuticle against unattractive fly-aways. And because I always have the best interests of my Girls in mind… I may be biased, but this could be the best deal in Miami - only for my Girls!

FeNom Salon is a bright and clean salon with a vibrant atmosphere. The stylists are Aveda-trained and are educated and talented in all aspects of the beauty industry. They're committed to inspiring beauty in all their clients, ensuring every person walks away looking and feeling 'FeNom'enal!

However, as much as I love every new piece I come across, my wallet has different ideas on that matter, and boutiques may be humble in size, but their inventory is rather large in price.

With today's Coup, my Girls can get completely customized jewelry made by YOU (as you learn to channel your inner designer!) at a price that you AND your wallet can both appreciate:

• $10 for an Intro Class + $10 Worth of Beads & Supplies ($30 Value)
• $20 for ANY Class + $15 Worth of Beads & Supplies (Up to $55 Value)
• $15 for $35 Worth of Beads & Supplies
• $25 for $60 Worth of Beads & Supplies

Every great jewelry designer has to start somewhere and the Introductory Class at Amy's Beads will teach you girls the very basics in jewelry-making techniques. In this class, you girls will learn how to crimp and make eye loops, and even get to leave with a newly-made bracelet and earrings in tow! To hone in your skills at home, you girls can browse through the store's huge selection of beads and supplies to make a completely different piece or perhaps another bracelet to complement the one you made in class.

Once you girls have perfected your skills from the introductory class (or if you're ahead of the game and have been making some beautiful pieces of your own before now) you ladies can take ANY of Amy's other classes up to a $40 Value! These classes can teach you girls anything you need to know about making some stunning pieces worthy of any boutique or specialty shop, including German knotting (a non-traditional way to make multi-strand necklaces) and Kumihimo (an ancient Japanese braiding technique used to make bracelets). 

And best of all, Girls, they'll give you an excuse to gather around with some of your best friends to laugh and talk about everything including life, love, or whoever the latest contestant was to get kicked off American Idol!

Amy's Beads is owned and operated by Amy Dolloff, who welcomes all her customers with open arms and creative ideas. The space is filled from wall to wall with sparkling and dazzling jewelry, beads, and supplies (in other words- a feast for the fashionista's eyes!) with the available selection always changing. You girls can choose from whatever material you like, including Swarovski Crystal, fresh water pearls, semi-precious stones, and assorted pendants, and you can even browse through their jewelry-making magazines to get some inspiration for your next masterpiece!

Who needs to scour boutiques when you girls can have customized jewelry made from your very own hands?!

Today's sinfully sweet Coup is served up with a twist:

• $35 for Canvases, Cupcakes & Cocktails at Painting with a Twist!

Painting with a Twist, an amazing two story painting workshop and gallery, provides the perfect backdrop for this private event. You girls will get to take a 2-hour painting class there, creating beautiful works of art that you can bring home! Painting with a Twist will have everything ready for you, including paint, brushes, and canvases, and will walk you girls through the painting you'll be doing step by step. The instructors will be painting with you from the front of the class, but are always happy to walk around and help you out, too. By the end of the night, you girls will have a painting that you created on your own. And don't worry if you've never envisioned yourself as the next Van Gogh- there's NO experience necessary for the class... in fact, Painting with a Twist encourages painting virgins!

Providing the sweet treats for this event is one of my very favorite cupcake businesses, Contenti Cupcakes (and judging by the 5-Star reviews ACROSS THE BOARD given by my Girls' Tessamonials AND Yelpers alike, these amazing cupcakes are always well received)!

Contenti Cupcakes focuses on flavors and textures instead of decorations (although that certainly doesn't take anything from their visual appeal) and uses all fresh ingredients to make everything from scratch. Any gathering where you girls can taste these bite-size treats is bound to be made even more memorable by their sheer sweet goodness!

To wash down all those cupcakes and really make this Coup feel like a party, Sinless Cocktails will be on hand throughout the night! The all-natural and sugar-free mixers for these cocktails are delicious and... wait for it... only FIVE calories per serving!! You girls can sip all the Strawberry Margaritas you like without worrying about the sugar, artificial ingredients, and other "not so sweet" extras that usually come along with them (namely astronomical calorie counts).

Sinless Cocktails uses real lime and lemon juice and balances it perfectly with their all natural sweetener, Stevia, for a refreshing drink my Girls never have to feel guilty about! Plus, they'll be handing out recipe cards, so you can continue to make your own Sinless Cocktails from home.

Canvases, Cupcakes & Cocktails will be held on multiple days, so choose which works best for you:

February 29th from 7PM to 9PM
March 3rd from 2PM to 4PM

Hurry, Girls, there's only a limited amount of space for each class! So pick up a Coup to reserve your spot and create your very own masterpiece!

Choose from the following options:

• $22 for a Mani-Pedi ($45 Value)
• $19 for a Shampoo, Cut, and Blowout ($40 Value)
• $25 for Partial Highlights, Shampoo, and Blowout ($58 Value)

...from Rometta Salon & Spa!

Perfect and polish your nails with a Mani-Pedi! For the basic manicure, your nails will be filed, cleansed, and finished with polish. The pedicure allows you to sit back and relax while your feet soak in a pedicure spa. Your nails will be cleaned up, and the bottoms of your feet scrubbed and buffed before receiving a soothing massage and the polish color of your choice.

Short on time but in desperate need of a "hair fix"? Rometta's Shampoo, Cut, and Blowout will give you girls just the style boost you need to make you look fabulous! After your hair is washed and trimmed of all dead ends, they'll blow dry it into your style of choice!

Finally, if you're looking for a way to add a little brightness and dimension to your current hair color, look no further than a Partial Highlight, Shampoo, and Blowout. This will highlight the strands on the top, sides, and back of your head for a hint of shimmer!

Rometta Salon & Spa has been offering the most cutting edge looks and high-end beauty experiences for the last 45 years in the Elkins Park community. They've been voted the #1 Salon for Hair and Nails by their customers in Montgomery Magazine in 2011, and been recognized in national fashion magazines as one of the Top Salons!

The space is located in a newly renovated century-old Victorian building. With its fun and colorful atmosphere, relaxing spa space and Roman Bath inspired treatment rooms, massaging pedicure chairs, and marble manicure stations, it's easy to see while Rometta is so beloved by its clients.

Escape from the everyday grind and relax there today!

See what this satisfied Yelp! customer had to say:

"I had my first visit to Rometta Salon shortly after I relocated into the area.  Looking for a hairstylist who is talented, creative and insightful in cutting and styling hair, I was referred to Josh.  I gave him no real direction, only that I wanted a cut that was current, complementary to my face shape and hair type.  He took the challenge and I received one of the best hair styles I've had in several years.  I was showered with complements for days afterwards and would happily recommend him to anyone who wants to hand over the reins to a talented stylist and come out looking fabulous!  All the staff I encountered was friendly and the salon was welcoming and comfortable. I will definitely be returning to visit Rometta and Josh again and I look forward to trying out some of their other services as well."- Shannon A.

Fitness Battalion is one of only a small handful of boot camps that are licensed to operate in the parks, so you girls can workout in the fresh air. Their performance-driven intensive program is built on the CrossFit principle of training and is designed to get you into the best shape of your life. Boot Camp classes are held in small group settings, so you'll constantly have a support system around you (which has always helped me whenever I've taken a boot camp class in the past) and you'll still receive individual attention from the trainers. Classes run for 45 minutes, and keep you moving the entire time, improving your strength, helping you burn calories, increasing your self-esteem, and encouraging you to form new friendships with your fellow recruits!

CrossFit is known as the best program for overall fitness, as it includes the 10 components of fitness (cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy). At Fitness Battalion, their goal is to help you improve in each component during their 30-minute sessions, with workouts that are constantly changing, giving you results fast. Every CrossFit class they offer is supervised by a CrossFit Certified Trainer, and provides a kind of camaraderie you won't find in any other type of workout environment. People who have taken CrossFit at Fitness Battalion have described it as tough, intense, fun, grueling, and addictive – the most effective way for anyone to achieve overall fitness!

Fitness Battalion has been getting people fit since 1996, and adopted the name “Battalion” because of what it stands for – a large, organized group of people pursuing a common aim or sharing a major undertaking. It's what their Boot Camp and CrossFit classes are all about (along with pushing me past my weight loss plateau and into the land of “fit”)!

After the tour, you'll be given a basket packed with an assortment of Fresh Garden's latest harvest, allowing your entire family to enjoy sun-soaked produce perfect for juicing, slicing, or adding a tropical flair to any meal you create!

At Lady Saint's Styledelphia, my Girls can have:

• $39 for a Makeup Class with Mimosas, Champagne, and Other Refreshments ($100 Value)!

"What a woman! Jessica Saint is an amazing makeup artist. I have had the pleasure of having her do my makeup and hair multiple times. She is a Jill of all trades. She can style anything from wild sexy curls, to pinup , rock star look, etc. Whatever your hearts desires, Lady Saint can fulfill. You will not be disappointed."- Yolanda G.

Simply put, Girls, there's no better workout for targeting every single muscle group and teaching you the basics of self-defense than boxing(and yes, I kind of have tried them all- I have a silver box on my dresser brimming with health club photo ids- it's almost embarrassing)! Not only is it a great confidence-booster knowing if anyone were to cross you, they'd be in for a rude awakening, but it will also get you into the best shape of your life! (Think Hilary Swank in "Million Dollar Baby"- it's no accident she killed it in the navy backless at the Academy Awards that year- her body was rocking thanks to that boxing training!)

You’ll also improve your overall fitness with speed ball, spring ball, and medicine ball work, jumping rope, weight training, and wind sprints (Phew, it’s no wonder a typical boxing training session will stimulate all your muscle groups- you girls will be working out your entire body)!

Redline Fight Sports is a full-service training facility that specializes in coaching fighters for MMA, Kickboxing, and Boxing, as well as Kung-Fu and Tai Chi Chuan. Their state-of-the-art gym is open all day (most evenings they stay open until 10PM), every day, and their Class Schedule offers over FORTY classes per week (including THREE women-only classes on Sundays), so it’s a breeze to fit their classes into your own busy schedule!

The coaches at Redline come from a mixture of disciplines that make up modern sport fighting (including some champion fighters), but that doesn't mean you girls have to be professional athletes to take classes here.
