Carolien shares the best to-dos for November

1. We could all use a little distraction, and I love to lose myself in a good movie or series. And if you could use a good tip: go see ‘Alles op tafel’ in the cinema. This film is about a group of friends who decide to put all their mobile phones on the table during a dinner and have to share everything that comes in... Full of humor, embarrassing situations, and emotional moments, and afterwards you'll really be chewing on it for a while. I would dare to put mine on the table without hesitation, but I am really curious if the whole friend group would dare to do this. Maybe a fun idea to suggest during the Christmas dinner? Alles op tafel with among others Linda de Mol, Peter Paul Muller, and Ramsey Nasr. From November 4 in the cinema.

2. When you say BLOY, you say Lindsay van der Looij. I prefer to go there for a wonderful facial treatment, but for body treatments and injectables, BLOY is the perfect place. And with twenty years of experience under her belt, Lindsay decided to develop her own luxury skincare line that rejuvenates the skin and stimulates the skin's own anti-aging capabilities: LABAREAU. The name sounds so good: as if this line has existed for years. I cleared my entire sink to make room for the most beautiful packaging ever. And after a week of use, I can say: your skin ‘pops’ tighter immediately after applying the products and feels intensely cared for right away. I say: at the top of your wish list for the holidays.

3. It's always terrifying to launch something of yourself, but luckily all the reactions to the C.S. X Beautiful Wishes are so incredibly nice! I really walk day and night in my kimono, I don't leave the house without my XL velvet tote bag, and I can't wait to dress the table with our table linen set. To produce as sustainably as possible, we work with pre-order. So if you want to be sure of your item, you have until mid-November to place your order. beautifulwishes.nl

4. I haven't seen a festival up close for three years, but tomorrow has been marked in my calendar with a thick marker for weeks: the first edition of the Vinhalla Wine Festival will take place in Amsterdam. Taste more than a hundred wines (not all of them, of course), food stalls, and music, all in one location. If you're looking for something to do this weekend: the festival is from November 4 to 6 in the Kromhouthal in Amsterdam.
