De Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam: The venue dates centuries back to 1409. De Nieuwe Kerk is a place of worship turned into a cultural meeting point in the heart of Amsterdam. Underneath its historical memories lies plenty of pride and prejudice. Every part of its structure is an attention-grabber: the pipe organs, the stained glass windows, and the flooring mixture.
No other place would be more suitable to meet the 90-year-old Ms Monroe!
Ready at the door, Ms Monroe, in her fresh and free-spirited look, invites visitors to the exhibition.
Inside is an art installation featuring the scene (film The Seven Year Itch) in her famous white dress designed by William Travilla in 1955.
A documentary highlighting her life runs in the dark room just underneath it.
Then a corridor leads observers to Marilyn’s personal belongings and adventures.
Ms Monroe certainly knew how to keep up with her gorgeousness. She wore an eye-gel mask to look refreshing. Her artificial eyelashes were intact, along with her Revlon, Elizabeth Arden eyeliner, and mascara. The used daily cream by Erno Laszlo. Even her hair was kept on the hair rollers. She wore Channel 5 to bed, and Emilio Pucci’s designs were a must-have in her wardrobe.
She dreamed of a career so she walked to it. The whole world will never forget her. Her style still is inspiring generations.
Unfortunately, she was 36 years old when she passed away, looking fabulous as she always did. Rumours apart, the cause of death was due to her dependence on sleeping pills and her fondness for champagne, with Moët&Chandon being her favourite.
At the gift shop, visitors can purchase Marilyn anything: postcards with her looks, reading glasses, her famous quotes, the bottle of Channel 5. The iconic Andy Warhol’s Marilyn prints were on books, umbrellas, and jewellery.

A While ago I learned about the product from L’OREAL, the anti-ageing by Yves Saint Laurent. It caught my attention because it involved relevant scientific research. Not only that, it drew my attention for glycans. From what I understand these are sugars. These are strongly important for empowering signals of communication between cells. According to experts, this communication slows down with ageing.
I heard that lack of vitality is a big issue with ageing. To some, it is a subtle change but, for many, it is dramatic. It all makes me intrigued on how my experience will be.
With high-tech booming into researches in the laboratories of Cosmetology and Nutrition industry, I am certain it will be sparkly!
The question is: will all these do well for my wellness?
According to Sabine Schalkwijk this product line from Mannatech is promising.
I met Sabine at the event Arbeidscafé in Houten, where she passionately gave me a briefing of a skin care and food supplement . She caught my attention when she mentioned “glycans” so I had to hear her story, even to try the product myself (a theme for a new post!).
Sabine Schalkwijk is…
Dutch, lives in Houten and worked several years in import/export industry.
She says…
For some time I wanted to open my business to sell a product line with a good purpose. Something that will keep the beauty of the mind-body-spirit.
With ageing there are dramatic changes in and outside of our bodies. Our mindset meets several obstacles. Our system functions slow down. Our skin lacks in elasticity and sparkle. And lots more…
Even with a healthy lifestyle, good eating-patterns, we have to add extra supplements to keep vital. So I think this better be something which is clinically tried and based on natural substances.
She found “IT” …
it is patented by mannatech.
The product contains Manapol which is found in the Aloe Vera gel extract. This product is rich in POLYSACCHARIDES.
MANNATECH is the founder of an exclusive extraction method for the mannose, a natural sugar which is believed to help skin rejuvenation and WELLNESS because it improves cell-to-cell communication.
