The 10 Commandments of Authentic Beauty Part II

A quick summary of the first three Commandments of Authentic Beauty, as revealed to me by numerous professional pretty people: find your beauty alter-ego, and no product on the market can replace healthy eating and a healthy attitude. This time we’ll look at how the bombshells got the glow by giving the boot to 75€ […]

Energy food

We’ve had a great Christmas, possibly eaten and drunk a little too much, and now everyone is talking about dieting, fasting and New Years resolutions. But January can be a cold and dark month, and feeling pressured to cut back on everything doesn’t make it any easier. So instead of diet talk, why not put […]

Fresh air never hurt anyone

Bambäsch. It’s so obvious, isn’t it? And so close to the city. Pick a trail and make sure you don’t walk too fast, or you’ll miss the colours, the flowers, the woodpecker, the mushrooms… Be aware of people running like mad, they might be the Get Fit group – you may even wish to join […]

Design&doodahs

Ben & Pepper, 21, Avenue de la Liberté Luxembourg – Gare. Clew loves the mix – vintage and new, well-known designers and local designers en herbe. And the cute owners. A different actor on the Lux shopping stage! Don’t forget to check out the Danish jewelry in the back! Fleuriste Roger Klein, Place de Strasbourg, Luxembourg […]

The way you wear your hat

CLEW is at a bit of a loss here. Not that you can’t find nice clothes in Lux, but where are the special boutiques, and the feelgood factor…? Machines like H&M don’t provide that feeling, neither does the staff in certain places (quite the contrary, CLEW dares say). Or, as the local boulangère says it: “Toutes ces enseignes de luxe – il n’y a […]

Another place, another time

There are places in town that will take you elsewhere… Cinemathèque, Place du Théâtre. A time travel, already when you enter the building and walk up the beautiful stairs to watch a classic movie. Even the cashier seems to belong to some other time. Cinema Paradiso for children Sundays at 15.00, open air cinema in […]

Feelgood places next door: France Chez Michele, Languimberg, Lorraine. If you take off from the motorway in the middle of nowhere, just like that, patiently following the row of tractors, you might just get a pleasant surprise. Like “Chez Michele”, a gourmet restaurant where you really don’t expect to find one, with tasteful decor and […]

Feelgood places next door: Belgium La Ferronière, on the heights of Bouillon in the Belgian Ardennes (a good hour from Lux). Tiny, cute hotel  with a gourmet restaurant combining cosy and château. The smell of woodfire in winter, the adorable garden in the summer, and the always welcoming hosts add to the feelgood-factor. Ideal for Sunday lunch, […]
