Eating Contest

By jackie • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining, Flair Shopping, Something To Do

It’s hard to enjoy your Chipotle Burrito Bowl when the hot, really skinny girl Jennie in your department keeps saying things like “I can’t believe you ate all that,” “Oh my god, you got a large?” and “Oh my god, you eat so fast.” It’s so hard to hold back and try to eat as [...]



Where’s Tink?

Remember when Tinkerbell got trapped in that lantern? Wouldn’t it have been awesome if you could have a little tink in a jar?
The cool folks at Charles & Marie have created an incredible, sandblasted Sun Jar, which almost looks like you’ve stored a trapped fairy inside.  The jar actually absorbs sunlight during the day, and emits [...]



R.I.P., Cupcakes

By jackie • May 14th, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining, Flair Shopping, Something To Do

America’s love affair with cupcakes began with children’s birthday parties, evolved into a newer obsession with gourmet cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and seen on the Food Network in Ina and Paula’s kitchens. Now, the world is saturated with mass-produced cupcake mixes, holders, special silicone cupcake tools, specialty cookbooks, kits, stationery, and blogs.
Sure, they’re cute. Delicious? [...]



Tan-Q Very Much

By jackie • May 12th, 2008 • Category: Flair Beauty, Flair Shopping

As your grandma once said, “tan fat is better than white fat.”
But self-tanner is a battle. When you don’t use it, you feel lily-white and blotchy. And when you do use it, it streaks, rolls off of you like crumbs, and wears off inconsistently, leaving moss-like patches across your face and neck. Aside from baking like a [...]



Hidden Calories

By jackie • May 8th, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining, Flair Gadgets, Flair Men, Flair Shopping, Flair Toys

Your boyfriend weighs a buck ten. His metabolism is a well-greased machine, which he packs only nutritious food into. He won’t touch saturated fat, eats veggies and lean meats nonstop and gluten-free Think Thin bars every morning, as you fight your muffin and pastry addiction and battle thunder thighs.
To escape judgement from the stick-thin manorexic, hide [...]



Eat it

By jackie • May 5th, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining, Flair Men, Flair News, Flair Shopping

You’re in the car with your three brothers and some GFs and BFs, and for some unknown reason, the destination is Dunkin Donuts.
Though all of you (except for one) are pretty good eaters normally, the second you step in the door the poor donut guy can’t keep up as you all shout orders at him. [...]



Toast-It

By jackie • May 2nd, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining, Flair Shopping, Flair Toys

You’re always losing things.
You lost your best friend’s fiancé’s ring for a terrifying five minutes when you were best man, you finally bought phone insurance because you left your Treo in bars/restaurants/Best Buys all the time, and you forget the password you cleverly came up with for your online checking account, which eats up an hour every [...]



Eco Actually-Chic

By Claire • Apr 29th, 2008 • Category: Flair Beauty, Flair Shopping

Helping the environment is finally in-fashion. But until now, we thought we were the only ones who noticed that the eco-chic pieces everybody’s been churning out aren’t always entirely chic.
Barney’s has an awesome, chic tote by Kooba, we would actually be happy wearing. This natural (or olive) colored bag is lined in cork and [...]



A-peeling Swimwear

By jackie • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Flair Shopping

Girls love the idea of summer- glamorous yachts, lifeguards, deep tans and R&R come to mind.  The reality is much less sweet. Cellulite, sunburn and bees are just a few of the things to dread when warm weather rolls around. But the worst of all is trying on swimsuits.

For something as universal as swimwear, there are [...]



Quick Draw

By jackie • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Flair Beauty, Flair Shopping

 
You look like a million bucks for your date.  You have on a versatile gunmetal dress, metallic grecian sandals, your new Chanel studs and neutral, shimmery makeup.  As you put the final spritz of hairspray on your perfectly wavy (but still relaxed) locks, your phone rings.  The hunk you met at Home Depot is downstairs and waiting [...]
