If you’ve grown some love handles after the summer holidays, read this story from editor Lizette. She underwent another treatment and lost ten centimeters. She also no longer has back pain.

Owner Tanya Christy welcomes me warmly in the Body-Line building on the Laan van Meerdervoort 684-1. While enjoying a glass of fresh lemon water, she explains to me how the device works.

“If you want to lose fat, you will be linked to a device that ensures that you break down fat and builds muscles. A treatment on the device is equivalent to a number of hours of exercise. With the big difference that you lie relaxed. Customers follow a program and come back multiple times.”

Cold gel

I go for a trial treatment: which now costs € 39 instead of € 0189,-. After Tanya has measured my size in centimeters I lie down comfortably. She applies different pads to my thighs and stomach. She first lubricates those pads with gel that feels very cold. A blue band keeps all pads in place.

Tingling

He will go through a program in this way, first I will set the pads one by one,” she explains. I feel the first tingling on my thigh, then I feel some tingling in the next pad.

The next 25 For minutes I experience one sensation after another. The pads really make my muscles vibrate: like I’m at the gym but not doing anything. Except to relax. After about twenty minutes, the sensations intensify slightly and my body shakes from side to side. But after one minute I surrender and I actually enjoy it. What a wonderful experience this is!

A test treatment

Time has flown by and I think sorry to have to get up again. Tanya measures me again: I’ve lost a whopping six inches in circumference! “But one treatment is not enough to maintain that result. Your muscles are now tight, hence the lost centimeters. You can book lasting results from ten treatments,” she explains.

In the chair: this is what a treatment feels like at one of the three best beauty salons in the Netherlands

in-the-chair:-this-is-what-a-treatment-feels-like-at-one-of-the-three-best-beauty-salons-in-the-netherlands

Summer is approaching its end: time to give your skin a professional boost because it has endured a lot with all that sun. CadanCe Huidinstituut on the Vlierboomstraat was recently named one of the best three in the Netherlands: I visited for a skin analysis and tailor-made treatment. I left with glowing skin, lots of tips and products for home.

CadanCe Skin Institute specializes in perfect aging (including hyperpigmentation and wrinkle formation), acne and figure correction. Owner Sophie Imbert has just returned from vacation and couldn’t wait to get back to work: “It was wonderful, but after a week I was already full of ideas. I just think my job is the best there is. If I can help someone today with her skin questions or complaints, I will be a satisfied person.”

The skin analysis

Her sympathetic colleague Ebony first performs a skin analysis

on me (you can do this for free). in books). Everyone needs a specific plan of action for the skin, she says. Ebony first asks me some questions and then I sit down in front of a device, the ‘Multi Analysis Center’ (MAC).

This device measures, among other things, the moisture content, the elasticity and the pigmentation of your skin. You simply place your chin on the device so that Ebony can take a photo from three angles via the measurement sensors. The result of the scan comes quite quickly: due to the sun I have hyperpigmentation (‘sun spots’) and a somewhat dry skin. Ebony explains that my skin would benefit a lot from a chemical peel based on products from the brand ASAP

first. This brand specializes in perfect aging, which also includes hyperpigmentation.

The peeling gives your skin a moisture boost, improves the structure and smoothes out fine lines and pigmentation spots. She adapts an appropriate treatment program of three peeling treatments in total: so I will come back a few more times. She also provides home care products: “Of course, one treatment already produces results. But with a cure, you get long-term skin improvement, and if you continue to use the recommended products at home on a daily basis.” I promise to only use these products at home.

The treatment

First of all: a cosmetic peeling ensures that your skin renews itself, reducing fine lines, acne and scars. Red spots also become less and the skin structure improves after just one treatment.

I can sit in the comfortable treatment chair in a serene room with soothing background music. Ebony first cleanses my skin with a gentle cleansing gel, followed by a scrub. She then applies a toner with a moderately high glycolic acid content, which removes dead skin cells. Then she carefully applies the peeling. It stings nicely, but it actually tastes good. This first peeling is quite mild: the next two will be a bit stronger, says Ebony.

During the application I get a wonderful neck and shoulder massage. After about twenty minutes, Ebony gently removes the peel from my face. Then she applies two serums from ASAP: vitamin B and vitamin C, followed by the day cream with SPF 50. It really does feel like I have new skin! I see a renewed glow and ASAP products feel like a second skin. She also advises me to put a good spf on my face for the next few days because my skin is now extra sensitive to UV radiation.

I’ll be back in four weeks to continue the cure and leave with a beautiful pouch with the ASAP products for home. Ebony explains to me in detail in which order I should use the cleansing products, serums and creams. I’m looking forward to the next treatment and the long-term results: my skin is already radiant and smooth! To be continued:).

The world's best Irish pub is still in The Hague: 'Prince Harry came here to have a drink for hours'

No Comments
the-world's-best-irish-pub-is-still-in-the-hague:-'prince-harry-came-here-to-have-a-drink-for-hours'

In 2019 John Gulay’s cafe was named Best Irish Pub in the World, Prince Harry recently came here for a drink and John met his wife. Then of course we are talking about O’Casey’s at the Noordeinde.

If you want to taste, feel and experience Ireland, you only have to but walk into O’Casey’s pub/restaurant at Noordeinde.

With the authentic interior (designed and built by Irish craftsmen), beautiful bar and terrace garden and of course a huge range of beers and whiskeys, you’ll feel like you’re in the heart of Dublin. There are also regular live performances that you can enjoy.

Hot Pub

O’Casey’s has become the favorite pub of many over the years . From expat to local and from tourist to explorer: everyone is sold after a first visit. In corona time, owner John refurbished the huge, shady terrace garden alias beergarden , so nearby checked this while enjoying a large pint Guinness.

We sit at the beautiful outdoor bar with the sympathetic John and ask him the pressing question: what is Prince Harry like in real life?

Roof off

“He’s a very relaxed guy”, John describes the prince. “I ended up drinking beers with him for three hours. At one point his party wanted to leave for a restaurant, but Harry preferred to have a portion of bitterballen for everyone. He tasted them for the first time and he loved them!”

He loves his balls and the real Irish atmosphere in the pub. The prince, who visited The Hague for the Invictus Games, also admired the many large screens in the pub. John: “O’Casey’s is

true sports pub: we have both indoor and outdoor screens. People of all nationalities come here to watch a live match together with a pint, then the roof goes off.”

Great love

Soon will be O’Casey’s 14 year, a number to be proud of. John has been at the helm for fourteen years and he does so with great dedication. “I’m still trying to do the impossible for the anniversary party: get U2 to The Hague!”

Despite being busy enough with the business there, six years ago his eye fell on a Mexican beauty who lived opposite his pub. She came to pick up a meal of spicy chicken. John took the plunge and once delivered the food himself. He has never regretted that: he married her and now the couple also has a daughter.

John: “It was a day I will never forget. We toured the city with a large group of friends and finally got married at O’Casey’s. You can’t imagine a bigger party. I sometimes jokingly say: I had to buy a pub to get a wife, haha!”

Ben followed his passion for woodworking after 40 years: 'Finally I am now a furniture maker'

No Comments
ben-followed-his-passion-for-woodworking-after-40-years:-'finally-i-am-now-a-furniture-maker'

As a boy of five he already had the dream of becoming a furniture maker or carpenter. But things turned out differently: Ben de Valois followed his parents’ advice to first obtain a ‘real’ diploma. After no less than forty years, his dream came true in 2016: “I want to keep doing this forever.”

Actually it would have been quite logical if Ben immediately started his career in woodworking: after all, his father made the most beautiful cabinets and his mother was a woodworking teacher. At the time, however, it seemed wiser to choose a different direction. Ben studied civil engineering in Delft and after that 16 worked at Heijmans for a year, including as a project developer.

A great career, but the blood creeps where it can’t go. Ben: “All these years the dream of being a furniture maker remained in the background. My hands were itching so to speak. I wanted to make things on a professional level.”

From garden furniture to Christmas stand

In 2016 he dared to take the step and he has not regretted a day. Ben says: “With this next step I am fulfilling a long cherished dream. In 16 I started my company De Valois Woodworking but from 2016 I have been doing this full time.

I make custom-made wooden furniture, toys or other wooden objects for my customers. Quality and service are the basic ingredients. Together we look for a way to fulfill wishes in the field of furniture or other utensils. In addition to cooperation and contact with the customer, quality is of paramount importance. I use all kinds of materials in my furniture in different ways. I mostly use all kinds of wood.”

Beautiful

With his creations you can really count on think anything, says Ben. From decking to garden furniture and from outdoor kitchens to (built-in) cupboards to even a large Christmas stand, he is ready for it. Everything is equally beautiful and finished to perfection.

On the Facebook page of De Valois Houtwerking you can see the examples: you can’t wait to see.

Help from the Entrepreneurs Portal

The Entrepreneurs Portal according to Ben is real very important for entrepreneurs in The Hague. He says to his fellow entrepreneurs: “Be sure to consult the website because there you get a lot of help and answers. Or make a personal appointment: employees are always there for you and think along with you. For example, I myself had contact with Juriënne Hollaar of the Ondernemers portal. These employees know all the ins and outs of how things work at the municipality.”

As an entrepreneur, you will also find an answer almost immediately with regard to procedures and existing rules on the website of the Entrepreneurs Portal , says Ben.” It is a well-arranged site where entrepreneurs can find the information or answer they want more quickly. It saves seas of time compared to the past.”
