Dare to share – write an erotic story with your lover
The original surrealists, back in the 1920s, used to play Exquisite corpse, a game in which each person takes turns contributing to a collection of words or images. (The name comes from a line of poetry thus created: “The exquisite corpse will drink the young wine.”). André Breton, the charismatic founder of Surrealism, described the game as both ‘fun’ and ‘enriching’ and the results were often otherwordly beautiful.
How about you play a sexy modern day version of this game with your lover? It not only helps you to get in the mood, but will also reveal so much about each other’s sexual desires and dreams.
This is how it works: you write an erotic story together by taking turns in contributing a sentence. You start. Don’t think about it too long, just write. Let your subconscious take over. Wearing something that makes you feel sexy definitely helps! I suggest sitting down together with a piece of paper or a laptop, but you can also do it by phone, texting each other over the course of a few days. (which would be an excellent warm up for Valentine’s day)
There aren’t really any rules, except that during the time you write this story, you don’t talk about it. You only react to each other’s contributions by writing the next sentence. Try not to judge, just go with the flow. Keep writing until you almost literally explode with desire. Warning: the sex that results from this game might be ‘surreal’. Enjoy!

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.
