My Beliefs
As a feminist, I believe in supporting other women to follow their own path in life. It begins with discovering your path, which is built upon your own beliefs. My motto is the fundament for my beliefs. They are formed over the years. My motto and beliefs together are my life guide, the bricks of my rules and decisions.
I believe all women are beautiful
I believe the women body is the greatest natural canvass
I believe in the freedom of self-expression; the freedom to be as you choose
I believe in a world where women and men are treated and regarded equally
I believe in enhancing self-confidence among women
I believe in encouraging women to feel as beautiful, as sensual and desirable as they believe themselves to be
I believe in the importance of creativity in the pursuit of happiness
I believe all women are masters of their own destiny
I put my beliefs in everything I do. I’m so proud to see more and more rolemodels express their thoughts of life. Nowadays you find those rolemodels in all different disciplines. Think about leading ladies such as Hillary Clinton or Angela Merkel. Or film directors Sophia Coppola and Naomi Kwase, architects Zaha Hadid and Susana Torre. Or find your rolemodel in sporters as Lisa Leslie or Nadia Comeneci. And not to forget about Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Fantastic examples of ladies who live their beliefs.
Don’t underestimate how your beliefs can help you in life, but can also inspires many others. In the next weeks I will tell you more about how mine guides me through life.

Building bridges
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
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.”

Keto curious?
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.
