Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school on Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier. Maybe a whole lot easier.

Today comes an offer from , which attracts local residents and well as those from Shoreline and surrounding areas. Ombu is now offering lash extensions, and for $99 you can have a full set of lashes applied by the store’s certified lash expert. This introductory offer expires soon and is regularly $200.

Another special allows you to save 10 percent on a pre-paid series of three facials or 15 percent on a pre-paid series of six facials.
