In my daily practice, I receive questions on a daily basis about what kind of sunscreen won't cause break-outs in oily skin. More even, I figured it's a specific concern bothering not only patients suffering from acne, but also non-acne patients. Why is sunscreen so important, especially when you h...

"SPF is your BFF" , a tag line you've certainly heard before. But what exactly is SPF, and does SPF alone protect you sufficiently against the sun? To be completely correct, we should use the word sunscreen instead of SPF. In my daily practice, I am routinely asked about what exactly to look out f...

A few weeks ago, my Mom and I spent the weekend at Antwerp's newest luxury hotel: Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp . This five-star superior hotel was created out of a re-established 15th century monastery, forming without a doubt a real asset for us Belgians, as one of the Leading Hotels of the world ! ...

As the days get darker, and nights get colder, snuggle season is finally settling in. Crisping leaves beneath your feet whilst you're walking in the dark to and home from work. Rare rays of sunshine on your cold, bare face every once in a while remind us that Fall hasn't ended just yet. Chances for ...

Today I’m taking you with me on a typical, not so extraordinary day in my life. In this video I’m showing you the life I live everyday based on a zoom-in on my specific morning routine.

For my trip to Romania wi...

This week I had the opportunity to try out Bavet , an only pasta-serving restaurant that recently opened its doors in Leuven. Just like Matti and Marthe I was invited to taste and review the Bavet spaghetti, and that’s why we went all three together! I had a great time catching up with Matti, w...

About a week ago I had the opportunity to try out Foodtrotter’s first settlement, in the very heart of our capital: Brussels! I took my good friend Ysys with me, and what was meant to be just a nice conversation over lunch -exchanging some gossip maybe-, turned out as a fun, quality time-worthy af...

In the past I never really minded the products I treated my hair with: a store brand shampoo, shampoo containing silicons, parabens and so on. I have to admit that when I was younger I occasionally pampered my hair with nutrifying masques, using a conditioner only once a week. A visit to the haird...

Both having high expectations, Jasmien and me decided to eat something at I bet every hipster’s favorite place to stay: Balls & Glory . Balls & Glory is a restaurant where you can eat the m...
