Royal Halloween
Hooray for Halloween, that moment of the year you can transform into anyone you want to be! As a matter of fact, when it comes to uncovering my desires and expressing them in my looks, you could say that everyday is Halloween for me. It’s even the main principle behind all my designs: dare to be! So, this Halloween, why not dare to get inspired by my Queen Elizabeth collection and transform yourself into the queen you really are? Let’s rock your royalty!
So, let’s see, what type of Queen are you? Are you a feisty femme fatale with a penchant for corsets and black velvet like the dark-haired Anne Boleyn? Or do you slay in tartan like proud Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots? Or perhaps you are a boss lady like Queen Elizabeth who invented power dressing with her enormous petticoats and glorious ruff collars. Either way, pile on the pearls, cake on the make up and wear anything that makes you look in the mirror and say: ‘Yass queen!’. Who knows, after one Halloween night of throwing tantrums in your tiara you may never want to go back to looking anything less than ‘extra’. After all, why be a princess when you can be a queen?

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.
