A bit about The Goop Lab on Netflix

That Gwyneth Paltrow, I don't know. I find her a bit of a weirdo. From Academy Award winner (that win for Shakespeare In Love is still a rigged game, I think) to professional attention seeker. For years she was of course with Chris Martin, they had kids Apple and Moses, they split up and Gwyneth referred to that on her blog Goop ‘as ’conscious uncoupling'. Apparently the word ‘divorce’ was something that didn't appear in her vocabulary.

But her blog, Goop, started a webshop. And that is actually the beginning of her quite genius madness. Because what were the must-haves that we really needed to have at home according to Gwyneth? Well, for example, a set of dumbbells made of 18K gold. For $125,000 they are yours. Bargain. Or a spray that wards off vampires for just 27 dollars. Always having trouble squeezing out the last bit of toothpaste? Get a toothpaste squeezer, for just $244. Thief of your own wallet if you don't buy that.

And then came the cherry on top: the vagina candle. Or a candle that indeed smells like your — excuse me, like Gwyneth's I think? — punani. Nice scent for the house. I have no idea what goes on in that woman's head, but it is fascinating. Netflix thought so too and a collaboration was born, called The Goop Lab. In this six-part series, trendsetter Gwyneth explores the world of groundbreaking wellness topics. And as you might have expected, this series received quite a bit of criticism. Perhaps somewhat logical, since Gwyneth also considered a vampire-repelling spray a wellness product.

Another product that Goop has promoted is a steamer for your uterus. Um, pardon? Yes, according to Gwyneth it cleans your uterus. Personally, I didn't know that a uterus needed to be cleaned at all, and many doctors were also surprised. Most of the criticism comes from the scientific community, as no product or statement seems to be scientifically substantiated. Like that you become younger if you get stung by bees on your face. Ouch!

You don't have to watch the docuseries to become wiser, but it is an interesting glimpse into the wonderful world that is Gwyneth Paltrow: absolutely. Be prepared for exorcisms, ice baths, energy healings, and group sessions to process traumas with mushrooms. By the way, the vaginal scented candle was sold out in no time. So there are people who have a candle that smells like a vagina at home for $75 dollars. Money well spent, guys.
