Hallelujah, I made it to my final day of the cleanse! I can honestly say I’ve never thought more about food than I have in the past 72 hours, and I’m excited for this experience to finish. At the same time, I’m shocked at how much energy I have (I’m…

When I woke up on day two of my Juiz~s three-day cleanse, my headache was gone and I was feeling surprisingly alert. The morning passed smoothly with minimal food hallucinations. Later that day I caught up with Sylvia van Alphen, owner of Juiz~s and health expert. She bought the business a little over a…
For most people, Monday mornings are a bit of a drag. But this Monday in particular I have been dreading more than others. I’m nervous and anxious but oddly excited at the same time, as my three-day juice cleanse with Juisz~s is beginning. I discovered Juisz~s through a simple Google…
How can someone who works outside the hotel industry create such a successful hotel concept? That is it exactly the secret. When I spoke to Robin Chadha a while ago (at the time of the opening of Citizen M’s first New York hotel), he said: “If you travel regularly, at some point…

Massive Attack went off the radar for a while (since 2011). It’s not that they’ve changed music direction -it is still the same recognizable sound of a dreamy electronic sound with deep, dark edges, and that’s fine because there’s no need for them to be a hit machine – they…
Am I a feminist? Not necessarily. I do believe we have super powers though. Ha! No, just kidding. It’s just that I think we should embrace our womanhood. As we did on March 8th, International Women’s Day. Eastpak invited us to join them on a tour through Antwerp, during which we’d…
No need to do a double-take, you’re reading it right: the latest trend in hair care is actually un washing. “Unwash” is new line that cleans hair without stripping oils like traditional shampoo, conditioner and styling products. Instead, Unwash gently removes dirt and build-up without harsh sulfates – they’re…
Vaak genoeg krijg ik de opmerking naar m’n hoofd geslingerd ‘zo, jij bent wel een partygirl hè?’. Wablief? Ja, ik ga weleens naar een feestje. Wie niet in mijn hoofdstedelijke entourage? Zolang het kan luidt mijn credo dan ook: work hard, play hard! Nu kan ik het ook wijten aan…
