The other day,in a blissed out, peaceful state after a 90-minute yoga class, I saw two police cars in the middle of the road just a few feet away from the yoga studio, red lights spinning. Three police officers surrounded a bare-chested man who stood in the center of this trifecta, screaming, his eyes tossing…
Fresh off the heels of Laurie’s inspiring Birthday Wish for Flawless, founder Janine Francolini submitted a Birthday wish of her own to all her Facebook friends. The results were staggering! Check out this video, filmed live from Janine’s Birthday Party in Portland on August 17th. Big thanks to everyone involved in making her Birthday a…
A great, big, triple-whipped, sprinkle-covered, buttercream-frosted thank you to everyone who showed their support for Flawless during Cupcake Jones’ 5% Tuesday earlier this week.

Out of the hundreds of photos of our event in NYC on April 9th, this was my favorites. At first, I didn’t understand why, but after talking about it with a photojournalist friend of mine, I figured it out. Dr. Ablon and I have been working together closely for a few years, and most of…
Dear Flawless Friends, What a success! Thanks to all of you who were able to attend and support our second annual Perfection Party this past Saturday. It was a fun, fabulous, and record-setting event for our not-quite-three year old organization. We couldn’t have done it without all of you! With four remarkable honorees, one Honorary…
