Stronger and sexier than ever

Stronger and sexier than ever

by marlies dekkers

"A few months before I gave birth to my daughter Zilver, I started wearing enormous knickers. Why? Well, they were comfortable for my growing belly and cute, in a retro kind of way.

Besides, it was just a temporary thing, right? Right. Fast forward one year, and I was still wearing 'granny panties'. Me, the Queen of Lingerie! My business was blooming, my baby was blossoming, my body had completely recovered from the pregnancy and the C-section. I realized it was time to 'drop my veil' and come out of hiding. After - literally! - burning my granny panties in the backyard and slipping into my raciest thong, I felt reborn. Thanking my inner Hermit for helping me claim the time needed to recalibrate my sensuality, I boldly stepped into my 'sexy mama era'.

Stronger and sexier than ever."

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

by marlies|dekkers

‘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.
