Happy Holidays – ADVENT(UROUS)
Do you remember as a child, excitedly ripping open the first door of your Advent Calendar to get to the scrumptious secret within? Well, I created something for you to regain that delicious excitement… and more!
Confession: I am a total Christmas fanatic. I LIVE for the holiday season: a beautiful period to spoil myself and my loved ones, to let my inner light shine bright. While my usual taste can best be described as austere and intellectual, come the end of November, I’m all about glitter, glühwein and sentimental songs. Yes, you read that right: November! That’s how early I start unpacking my ridiculously big collection of Xmas paraphernalia to turn my house into Santa’s Secret Village.
Why so early? Well, of course I like to stretch my favorite period of the year as much as I can! But it goes deeper than that. Like the French philosopher Albert Camus used to say: ‘We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.’ To me, the build-up to Christmas is just as exciting and meaningful, if not more, than Christmas itself: an important opportunity to awaken my senses and feel intensely grateful and alive.
Don’t you think it’s ironic that this period of spiritual foreplay–traditionally called ‘Advent’, from the Latin word for ‘coming toward’- takes place during what is the busiest season of the year for most women? Instead of pausing and reflecting, we get caught up in end-of-the-year deadlines, family obligations and endless shopping lists. How easy to lose yourself in all that stress!
And so, in order to ‘make Christmas sexy again’, I created a digital twist on one of my favorite childhood rituals: my own Advent(urous) Calendar. Instead of plastic toys and chocolates, I will share sexy secrets, inspirational quotes and delicious deals. A daily ritual to bring you back to your sensual self and rediscover the reason for the season: love, lots of it, starting with self-love!
Discover my Advent(urous) Calendar for 12 days of lusty indulgence in the run-up to Christmas. It will be our sexy little secret…

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.
