Anya Taylor-Joy is a beauty icon both on and off the screen.

Back when the FLARE team shared an IRL office space (RIP to my abandoned aloe plant…), my mornings looked a little something like this: rush to get up the elevators in time for our 8:30 a.m. daily meeting (for which, I admittedly showed up to at approx. 8:32 most days), hit the button on my

  Hair comes in all different colours, lengths, textures and frizz levels, which means that—like the locks they style—one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to styling tools. That’s especially true of hair straighteners. Whether you’re trying to smooth über thick hair (lucky, but we understand the hardship!), attempting to tame a halo of

  Ariana Grande said it best when she crooned “I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it” in her hit 2019 song “7 Rings.” While Grande was talking about her own spending habits (and the fact that, as a millionaire, she can effectively buy whatever the heck she wants without a

As one skincare expert told us: “It’s better to prevent than wait until it’s too late”   It’s often said that the appearance of the neck is a clear giveaway of a person’s real age, and for good reason: Skimping on SPF, poor posture and general neglect of the area which spans the neck, chest

It might be “2020 with bangs” but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve our cooking, WFH and cleaning experiences   Remember when we were all like “2021 will be our year”? LOL. We’re only halfway through January and while the pandemic raging on and recent violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol makes it feel like the world

While the world has been in lockdown for the better part of a year, that doesn’t mean people haven’t been fantasizing about travel. Or if you’re tennis icon Serena Williams, who travelled almost nonstop during the before times, you’re probably not daydreaming of travel at all, you’re just straight up dreaming—because you’re catching up on

I had a rocky relationship with jumpsuits for years, but finally came around after figuring out exactly what to look for. Now, it’s all love!   I was usually the tallest girl in the room growing up, which meant shopping for any kind of one-piece (from bathing suits to rompers) was always a challenge. So,

For an instant mood-booster, slip into something a little more glam While you’re likely très familiar with the little black dress (LBD), it probably doesn’t feel like that these days.

Christine Saenz is a 48-year-old human resources manager in Houston, TX. I always knew I was different, but I had no idea why. By the time I was eight, I truly felt like something was wrong with me. I was always a moody kid, needed a lot of alone time, and was picked on by

Sometimes, issues that show up on the surface of your skin have deeper roots—especially if you have a chronic health condition.

And while an inflammatory health

The skincare gods have blessed me with an uncanny ability to test out way too many products and not breakout. Is there a new serum on the market? I’ll try it immediately. A new cleanser launched? Let me put it on my face. I only have one rule when it comes to testing out skincare:
