October 11th is the International Day of the Girl. A day that perfectly aligns with what La Luz stands for: making girls believe in their own power. Read why this day is especially meaningful to us. ♡

Sometimes the most beautiful things emerge at the most unexpected moments. For me, La Luz did not start as a business plan. It began from a sense of helplessness. During the COVID period, I lived in Aruba and was active at the food bank. There, I saw with my own eyes how hard the crisis hit people. Families who found themselves without income overnight. Mothers who did not know how to feed their children. People living in sheds, tents in someone else’s garden, or forced to...

TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS! Sometimes you have those ideas…that have been stuck in the back of your mind for a long time. And that you keep feeling. For me, this is one of those. For years I have wanted to organize something. Something bigger. Something that goes beyond just my brand, La Luz. Something with which we can truly make an impact together. And lately, I have been feeling it more strongly than ever! I want to organize a walk, a run. For a cause that touches me deeply: FREE A GIRL. To raise money and create awareness together. When I shared this on...

I’m in Ibiza. Together with my little boy. And honestly? The first few days I found it quite difficult, not to be together, but to relax. Because doing nothing… that’s not really for me. I’m always busy. Always on the move. Always thinking. New ideas, new plans, new steps. My mind never really switches off. So when I was sitting here, on the beach… and literally fell asleep… I just thought: what’s happening here? Because even that I don’t normally do. But there also came...

The first rays of sunshine are back. The days are getting longer. People are heading outdoors again, terraces are full, and everywhere it feels like everything is starting over. After Easter... as if we collectively yearn for light, for warmth, for new energy. And somewhere... I feel that too. But at the same time, I think: how can the world just keep going... while my world stood still for a moment six months ago? Six months. When I say it like that, it sounds like a long time. But in my head... it feels like yesterday. Something...

Sometimes you have to choose yourself 🌿 Some choices in life are difficult. Not because you don't know what you want, but because your heart is being pulled in so many directions at once. As most of you know, I have been a caregiver for my mother for seven years. She is seriously ill, has dementia, and a weak heart. She now lives in a nursing home where she gets the care she needs, but I am still involved every single day. I take care of things, I offer her emotional support, and I...

Today is my birthday and I am celebrating my 43rd year, a special occasion not only to embrace a new year of my life, but also to reflect on the wonderful journey I have traveled from an insecure girl to a bold entrepreneur. Amidst all the busyness of my daily life, I realize that I have forgotten my two-year anniversary of La Luz and I would now like to take the time to celebrate this milestone and commemorate all the beautiful moments that have...

With a Positive Vibe When spring is slow to arrive and the sun rarely shows itself, it can sometimes be a challenge to stay positive. I notice myself how much the weather can influence my mood. Let’s therefore not forget that we have the power ourselves to brighten up our day and spread a positive vibe, regardless of what is happening outside. Wear an Affirmation Bracelet A simple way to bring some sun back into our minds is through an Affirmation...
