1. I have some of the best memories of spending summers in Spain with my family. These sun-filled vacations have since made way for (solo) city trips, but I miss the simplicity of these rather laid back getaways. But the older I get, the more eager I get to go far away. Just sometimes, nothing beats revisiting old favorites. I spent the last years visiting my friends all across Europe. And now I'm thinking of going back to Mallorca and introduce this beautiful island to my best friends.

2. During the first COVID-19 lockdown here in The Netherlands, I binge-watched Parks & Recreation in its entirety for the first time. It made it even better that they filmed a special reunion episode about one month later. Clever writing, witty characters, relevant topics and an unparalleled ensemble cast. One of the best modern sitcoms of our times and a perfect watch for those moments where you just don't want to leave the house. PARKS & RECREATION (via primevideo.com).

3. Lose yourself in the never-ending luster of a perfect Parisian night. A fragrance inspired by the infamous City of Lights. An intoxicating blend of Spanish labdanum, lavender, ambrette accords, benzoin and vanilla leaf. Ambery, woody, sensual and absolutely captivating. Easily one of my signature date night scents from the very beginning. MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Grand Soir Eau de Parfum, €185 (70ml).

4. Food is a big part of my life, but getting a meal on the table can be hard with a busy schedule. The self-made tradition of hearty Sunday roasts (also a good excuse for an outdoor dinner party), sparked me to try out new dishes and techniques. Cookbooks are an incredible way to add more fun and variety in your kitchen, especially with the help of your kids. In her sophomore release, actress, entrepreneur and culinary maven Tia Mowry shares more great recipes and must-have tips for delicious, family-friendly and wholesome everyday meals. Presented in her trademark joyful, down-to-earth fashion, The Quick Fix Kitchen is a complete guide to home cooking, even for the earliest of beginners. THE QUICK FIX KITCHEN, €27 (via bol.com).

6. The United Arab Emirates house at the 2024 Olympics is a true masterclass in creating memorable temporary cultural experiences. Inside one of the perfectly smart chapters, you'll find a unique interactive playground featuring three life-sized installations, inspired by traditional Emirate games: Al Gaheef, Al Tabbeh, and Al Mayiit. Co-created with Montreal-based multimedia studio Moment Factory, the audiovisual experience provides a stylish glimpse into UAE culture by incorporating various architectural references, decorative motifs and textures from early customary art forms. Be sure to mark this as your next stop on your Olympics list for extraordinary (art) installations, culinary delights, and of course, exclusive merchandise. 46 RUE CAMBON, PARIS. Open from July 27th to August 11th. Admission: free.

7. There's a few pieces in my jewelry wardrobe that I will treasure forever. This bamboo-inspired initial pendant, introduced in the F/W 2017 collection at Celine (then Céline, before creative director Hedi Slimane's controversial takeover) is a true statement piece. Quiet luxury who? Now considered one of the many icons from the incomparable Phoebe Philo era at the French luxury brand. It's securely stored in a safe in my closet but remains a personal key piece in (my own) style history. CÉLINE Bamboo Alphabet Pendant, €858 (via vestiairecollective.com).

8. We are already big supporters of wearing SPF every day, but did you know that your sunscreen routine should not finish with your face? Your lips need protection too! That's why the Australian new gen sunscreen brand Ultra Violette came up with these fantastic lip balms. Meant to protect your pout from the sun (and yes, even the injectable-assisted ones) and hydrate at the same time with nourishing components such as lanolin, shea and cacao seed butter. Available in 6 shades. ULTRA VIOLETTE Sheen Screen Hydrating SPF50+ Lip Balm in "Silk Pillow", €21 (15ml).

9. My ultimate secret weapon for smooth hands. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, multiple ceramide complex, mangosteen extract and more good-for-you ingredients for that extra boost of hydration and plumpness. Definitely an indulgence, but worth every single penny. DR. BARBARA STURM Super Anti-Aging Hand Cream, €60 (50ml).

10. If you're familiar with my Instagram stories, you'll likely know about the foodie pictures that are simply captioned with the words "God Bless". Purely because there is no better way to describe the dish in front of me. The stunning Azzurra in West London's prestigious Chelsea neighborhood is an example of excellent boat to table dining. The finest selection of British seafood meets the superb elegance and simplicity of Italian cooking. I already can't wait to go back! 127-128 SLOANE STREET, LONDON (tasting menu from £90).
