Ayshel Schut Emers · owner of My Whims and More, Kralendijk
It started with a question from my husband. He wanted to know what I actually spent on manicures and pedicures. I sat down to work it out — and somewhere in that sum I realised I could simply do it myself.
That was the start of everything. Beauty and fashion had my heart since my teenage years, and from that moment I made them my work: thirty years in the industry, and in 2024 I opened the doors of my own spa here on Bonaire.
I called it My Whims and More. A whim is a woman's spontaneous wish — the little impulse, the mood that comes and goes. And more, because there is always something extra, something unexpected. Every woman knows that feeling; my salon is where you get to follow it.
Thirty years on, my passion hasn't faded once. I do this to make the world a little more beautiful, one person at a time — and to make sure you walk out feeling it.
