Private space

Is her house as fashionable as her lingerie…? Well, let me take you on a tour through my (lingerie) closet.

Recently journalists from lifestyle magazine VROUW wanted to come over, to give their readers a peak in my metropolitan palace. At the day of the visit, my house was everything but picture perfect, so I needed some last minute assistance to make it was in its best shape ever

I showed the journalists around and told them about the use of colors, furniture and art which I surround myself with. I did lots of the interior design myself; designing the wallpaper patterns, the fabric of the couches, the rooftop garden and my eye-catching dining table and chairs. Take a look at the backstage pictures and decide for yourself if I am as fashionable as my lingerie…

From the Erasmus Bridge and the Mercedes-Benz Museum to Qatar’s metro network; Ben van Berkel’s iconic landmarks bring people together in rapturous beauty, again and again. I talked with the Dutch architect and educator about sensuality, ‘healthy’ buildings and the remarkable parallels between our designs.

More than a feeling

by marlies|dekkers

Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food

‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
