A Boob Experiment

by Marlies Dekkers

“Please draw your own breasts and write one sentence explaining how you feel about them,” I asked 15 great women working for marlies|dekkers. The result was funny, sexy and at times, very moving

When New York Magazine did a poll asking 57 women, aged 17 to 72 how they see their own breasts, I immediately wondered what the result would look like if I did this poll among the women at our office.

These women who deal with breasts professionally on a daily basis.

So I asked them, and they went to work with a magic marker. I loved the results, and funnily enough, I recognised some of the women immediately by their drawings. I guess our breasts, and especially the way we see them, might influence our identity more than we think! Enjoy!

How do you see your own breasts? Try to make a drawing; you might gain a very interesting insight into yourself!

Don’t forget to shop great bra’s for those great boobs!

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

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

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.
