Let’s rock the boat together!

While I love traveling soloor with a lover, nothing beats a girls’ getaway with my best (travel) buddy. As writer Anaïs Nin said so beautifully: “Each friend represents a world in us, and it is only by meeting each other that a new world is born.” What better way to enrich and expand that world than by exploring the globe together? From dancing on the tables at a London nightclub to a midnight swim in the Mediterranean Sea; going on a BFF trip is my favorite way to reboot while bonding with my bestie. The shared experience always brings us closer together, even if one of us is into temple hopping on Bali and the other into island hopping in Greece. With this season’s spectacular swimwear collection, I celebrate the crazy, beautiful adventure of female friendships. Reflecting the spontaneous fun of globetrotting girl trips, these versatile pieces have you ready for action whether you want to go swimming, jogging, lounging or dancing the night away. And whether you’re a G-string or high waist kinda girl, thanks to the many variations per look, you can rock your own, unique style while still matching with your bestie. Wear these designs and dance around the world together in style. The adventure has only just begun!

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

‘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.
