Who’s a Nasty Gal?

Who’s a Nasty Gal?

by Marlies Dekkers
What’s currently on my nightstand? This shouldn’t come as a surprise; it’s a nasty gal! The book #Girlboss is the latest achievement of power house Sophia Amoruso.

As the Founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, the fastest-growing online fashion website of the moment, Sophia writes about her invasion of the world of fashion and online retailing. More importantly, this unconventional business book is a convincing case for the modern day feminist.

By sharing her ups and downs on her way to over a hundred million dollars in revenue, Sophia aims to inspire ‘gals’ all over the world to rock their lives and pave their own ways to success. What a whirlwind! Selfmade, young and deliciously bossy. I’m definitely inspired.

To me this daring dame is the perfect example of the modern day feminist; a sassy and savvy young lady reaching for the stars while celebrating her femininity. Sophia is absolutely one of the frontrunners. Find out yourself. Hit the link below; read the article, get the book and get inspired by this cool girl’s approach to female success.

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.
