Imagine a world where stuffy French culinary academies are rendered obsolete. Where you don't need to spend thousands on a personal chef... and you don't need a talking rat under your chef's hat to lead your way around the kitchen. Enter QOOQ -- your sleek touchscreen guide to mouthwatering masterpieces! The device, equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities and 500 preloaded recipes, takes you step-by-step through meal preparation and even teaches you tricky-to-master techniques with tutorial videos. Sauteed your way through all of its default recipes? Subscribe to monthly downloadable updates for 12.95 EUR a month and you'll never run out of creative things to concoct. It would be the perfect gift for any Jacques Pepin in training... but as of now, the device only comes in French. So if you have anyone on your list who has mastered the French language but doesn't have the culinary mastery to go with it, look into the QOOQ!
Price: 349 EUR

CollegeCandy Shows Us How To Pull Off The Formal Fauxhawk

I'm not really a fan of traditional up-dos. You know, the ones with the spiral curls that are pinned neatly together and sprayed with enough hairspray to destroy the ozone. Maybe it's just me, but I've never really been into pageant hair. I prefer something a little sleeker and sexier, not to mention something that doesn't quadruple my carbon footprint. When it comes to formal or special events, I'm all about taking risks with hair and makeup. The bigger the risk the better the payoff, right? That couldn't be more true with the look Kim Kardashian is rockin' on the red carpet. If you've got a formal coming up (or you just want to try something different on a Saturday night), this fauxhawk is sophisticated, fun and super easy to do. Click over to CollegeCandy for the video tutorial!
