Your e-magazine for relaxing, taking care of yourself, delightful relaxation destinations, retreats, blissful spa hotels and experiences.

Put yourself first! You deserve it. In this issue, we've got some great handouts for helping you to relax and unwind. Stress is a truly profound thing! So, it's time for a wellness break! Let's head to Portugal's stunning Algarve region, where we'll explore the mountains, not the beach! Or why not head to the trendiest city in the world, Dubai? There you can have it all: the bright lights, the fast pace and total peace and seclusion. Or how about the W Away Spa in Amsterdam? You don't even have to leave home! Stay in your own space and enjoy everything that's around you. Unwind with healthy dishes made with figs, linseed or pomegranate. Or if you're feeling creative, why not try your hand at a new artistic piece inspired by Nike? Or just relax in your favourite sweatpants.

Your e-magazine is all about the things that make life beautiful and enhance quality and fun in your daily existence!

We live in a fast-paced, high-tech world! And that can be really nice too! The Eurostar train whisks us to Paris or London in no time at all! The big picture is also that we are constantly running, flying, trying to keep up and forgetting to rest, enjoy or experience. There are special moments that we're going to miss if we don't pay attention! This magazine is all about creating a buzz to help you take a moment to appreciate what the French call 'joie de vivre'. The sheer joy of living! Treat yourself to some well-deserved love at the Dior Spa at the Dorchester in Dubai. Or indulge in some well-deserved you-time at W Away Spa, Amsterdam. And then, for the perfect end to the day, a craft IJ-beer by the canal! Mauritius is still the epitome of paradise! It's the trip of a lifetime. Immerse yourself in the refined beauty on display at the Galerie Dior, or the graceful quality and creativity of Chanel under the Scenography heading. To achieve that almost impossible balance between hectic and calm, the knowledge of Ayurveda can help. It's achievable in everyday life. That is perhaps the most extraordinary thing. All this and more in this Joie de Vivre!
