by marlies|dekkers

Love Magazine’s annual Advent Calendar entered its seventh year of releasing beautifully shot, provocative, and empowering videos featuring Hollywood A-listers. This year, the Advent calendar opened with the concept of “stay strong” was none other than Ashley Graham, who has made her own mark in fashion in 2017. Following Ashley was Emily Ratajkowski, who loaded up on carbs, and then Kendall Jenner, who engaged in some serious boxing moves. On day 11, Gigi Hadid showed off her tomboy side with high kicks and volleyball spikes.

Irina Shayk, saddled up for day 20, channeling her inner cowgirl in the Calamity Jane bodysuit, where she showed off her riding skills as well as lassoing bad guys in a Western-themed shoot. Dutch designer Marlies Dekkers, again, proves to be a celebrity favorite and key-player in the world of high-end fashion.

This year’s Advent Calendar includes models such as Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kate Upton, Ashley Graham, Kendal Jenner, Winnie Harlow, Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin.

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.

‘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.
