There are moments in life when you don't suddenly change everything, but when you start to look at things differently. That is what this new year brings for me. After the passing of my mother, and my father before her, something shifted inside me. Not abruptly. Not dramatically. But slowly, layer by layer. I live more consciously. I feel more. And I pause more often. But at the same time, something else has emerged. A desire to not just carry on, but to truly live. To not just keep going, but...

The past 2 months have been quiet. Not because I had nothing to say, but because life forced me to pause, to feel, to process. My mother passed away in September. I cared for her for seven years. Seven years in which I oscillated between love, duty, sorrow, frustration, and gratitude. It wasn't always easy, because my childhood wasn't always easy either. My mother did her best, I believe that with all my heart. But she couldn't always...

Dear everyone, It has been quiet on our end for a while, but that doesn't mean we've been sitting still. Quite the contrary! The past few months have been defined by wonderful developments and special milestones. And today is the perfect moment to check back in with you all. ✨ Exciting new steps One of the biggest changes is that LALUZ KIDS now has its own website! I have been very busy working on that lately. And LALUZ LIFESTYLE itself is also getting...

Our kids collection can give your little ones a helping hand with that. I am delighted to share with you that La Luz has entered into a wonderful collaboration with a major party for the Kids Collection! What started as a small idea is now growing into something big and meaningful. And me? I obviously can't wait to share this adventure with...

The entrepreneurial journey I am done with it. Done with the thoughts that often haunt my mind: the hard work, the obstacles I overcome time and again, and the expensive lessons I pay for on a regular basis. And perhaps the toughest one of all: the realization that people are not always who they seem to be. In my head, I have quit La Luz more than 50 times. Nothing is as it seems. I run my business from my heart My big dream is to create a brand for women and children. A brand that...

BLOG 4 | How are you really doing? From people-pleasing and experiencing disappointment, to setting boundaries and finding balance. In my previous blog, I announced the closing of my pedicure practice. With confidence and dedication, I am now working full-time on my La Luz mission: spreading love and light through the sale of affirmation bracelets. And it feels wonderful! Everything in me says that I made the right choice! What I haven't told you yet is how intense this change has been. With the...

BLOG 3 | I'm stopping and moving forward About my decision to stop and in doing so, taking a loving step for La Luz. Did you know that, in addition to La Luz, I also have my own pedicure practice? With 200 lovely clients, VOET has been a great success for years, serving as my anchor and reliable source of income. Yet, I am noticing more and more that combining my two passions divides my focus and increasingly pushes me past my own limits. This has led to physical complaints that I can no longer...
