Shop EQUA CARE sustainable products here Over the last 10 years, we have been crafting sustainable water bottles with a mission to protect your health & nature’s wealth. In partnership with you, we have made a significant difference, saving more than 650 million single-use bottles from polluting our environment. We’ve taken the pledge to build our company in an environmentally-friendly way, and we want to stretch this pledge beyond our water bottles. In such, we’re happy to announce that after a year of researching, educating, and testing, we are finally introducing EQUACARE – a sisterly brand that will go even further in building your sustainable habits without compromising your style and wellbeing. ‘’ Say goodbye to traditional cosmetics. EQUACARE helps you get rid of all aggressive ingredients while lowering your usage of single-use products.’’ EQUACARE is a line of Body & Home care products, that was designed to nurture your skin in the most natural way while protecting the planet from harmful ingredients and waste that comes with it. Our solution? Concentrated powder formula.  Most of the traditional care products contain only 1/10 of active ingredients. 1/10 that is likely to contain parabens, alcohols, or some kind of artificial fragrances. And the rest? Well … the rest is just water that only adds up to the packaging volume and increases the carbon footprint during the transport. As such, the secret behind EQUACARE is in the natural powder formula. The only 1/10 you actually need when it comes to body & home care. The rest is water that you add yourself. Same efficiency, better quality, less waste.  How does it work?  You get a bundle of beautiful dispensers and several refills delivered to your home. The secret is in the concentrated powder formula. This is the only 1/10 you actually need. The rest is water which we removed in order to save the transportation burden. At home, you mix the powder with tap water, and in order of seconds, you get yourself a brand new product.  EQUACARE helps you make a bigger impact with less.    4 products, 1 purpose. To enhance the relationship with your body & home in a natural way.  EQUACARE ESSENTIALS CONSIST OF 2 BUNDLES: BODY LOVERS’ ESSENTIALS (consisting of Hand & Body Soap) HOME SWEET HOME ESSENTIALS (consisting of Dish Care & Home Care Dispenser) Both bundles come with multiple refills, so you won’t need to waste additional packaging like in traditional use. How simple is that?   Are you ready to become an active player in the environment?   Transparent labels. No nasties. AVAILABLE NOW   @equa_care

 After a few months of planning, analyzing and listening to your feedback, we are excited to finally introduce the new myequa.com website. We've wanted to build a meaningful website, representing our story better with you playing an active role in it. We want you to be a part of our mission, showing you some great examples of the work we do, together with you!   By adopting a totally new look, we've completely restructured the website itself, making it easier to surf, and the things inside more easier to find. Additionally, the website now comes with a completely refreshed Magazine section, to keep you entertained even on the rainiest days.  Take a tour with us  1 Make it unique As you already know, you can personalize any glass bottle by engraving the cap with a message & emoji by your choice. And with the new website, this becomes even easier! Simply click the button ''PERSONALIZE'' on the right side of your favorite glass bottle, choose your preferred Engraving font, Insert your message + emoji by your choice, and voila. You're half-way through of creating your own, unique water bottle :) See more about it HERE.  2 Gifts notes are the best notes  Sometimes we want to treat ourselves with the ultimate trendy & nature-friendly gift, while other times we simply want to treat someone else. Both ways are great options! As gifting a water bottle might not be an expected gift at first, it is for sure one of the most valuable ones, and even more appealing. It makes your close ones feel good (with proper hydration), look good (with the finest selection of our design choices), and do good (speaking in the name of nature and your surroundings). So, if you want to give a bottle to someone as a gift idea, simply thick an option ''This is a gift'' and apply a message by your preference. It will come out as a true cherry on top! Try it out by yourself with any water bottle you choose inside our webshop.  3 Your opinion matters most   There's nothing we appreciate more than our community. Seeing you use EQUA water bottles, writing about your personal experience, and absolutely ''killing-it'' with your own presence everywhere you take your EQUA with you – it makes our hearts explode. Per that, we added a #myequa & #myimpact section at the bottom of every myequa.com page you visit, where you can see EQUA babes from all around the world using & blasting with their own EQUA. And where are you in all of this? As you might not find yourself just now, make sure to snap a picture of you & favorite EQUA bottle right away, use @myequa tag and #myequa hashtag on the photo itself, and come back to see yourself shining on our website as well! 4 Videos, better than our TikTok  While we laugh and giggle with each TikTok video we produce (didn't see us just yet? Then you surely must-see THIS), we want to give you valuable experience on our website as well. That's why we added an extra video under each product page, to grasp a true feeling of how each and every EQUA bottle looks and feels in the ''real-life'' use. See an example of our most wanted Mismatch Bronze.   And this is all just for a taste. We have numerous other activities ongoing, including our Magazine section, Story about EQUA, the team behind it, and many more. So, now all that is left for us is to invite you to take a tour around our new myequa.com, let you bookmark your favorite chapters and connect with us on social media (you can find those in the footer of our website) to stay up to date on each and every news.

As our lives are shrinking by the day, and so our usual normal activities, most of us will have to spend more time at home in the upcoming weeks. No matter how hard it might be to imagine being stuck at home the whole time during this tough period, we have to look it on a rather more positive note. This is the time you can catch up on all the things you never got around to, or simply continue doing what you loved doing even outdoors. In such, we have compiled a list of things to do at home, that will keep you healthy, energized and occupied at the same time.   KEEP CALM & WORKOUT Your body is all your need, so turn your environment into your workout space and be at your best peak performance at all times. We at EQUA often do various workout and yoga free classes, might it be on our blog or youtube.

Proper hydration counts half the workout. You ask yourself why? Find all the perks about drinking water HERE.  EXPERIMENT WITH BITES Now is the perfect time to brush up on your cooking skills. Might be a simple morning smoothie, or a 3-day meal plan (the one we prepared in collaboration with successful foodie Ayatana is a must-have - see it HERE), work your way through our easy-to-follow recipes for a range of delicious & most-of-all healthy dishes. RECYCLE ONLINE Now it's the perfect time to learn how to ''recycle online''.

We at EQUA strive to offer healthy & nature-friendly alternatives to disposable plastic bottles, so we made an extra effort to provide you all the options through our own online store. Feel free to select all design varieties HERE and enjoy every next sip of water/ tea or coffee directly from a high-quality & long-lasting reusable bottle. ENTERTAIN YOURSELF Sitting down in one place the whole day might be hard & overwhelming. So turn your favorite music on & dance the stress away. To spice it up, you can make or find your own dancing challenge, and invite your friends to do the same. A comprehensive list of suggestions can be found on our TikTok account, where we gather all the greats – among our EQUA office, as well outside such. And trust us – if we can dance, you sure can as well! READ & CHILL If like us, reading has become a guilty pleasure you never have time for, this is the time to rediscover reading.

In this life, that's all perfect on Instagram, you often feel a big pressure to look perfect, or in a certain way. You crave for that perfect skin, slim waist, gorgeous long hair, or anything that would make you deep-down favorable to others. But how about, for a difference, in this present moment, you just allow yourself to be you? ''BE YOU, DO YOU, FOR YOU.''   It doesn't seem like a big thing, but in fact, this is absolutely massive. Set your intentions, start your manifestations, and mute everyone that doesn't bring positivity to your life. Because once you'll turn the search inwards and start truly understanding the ''self'', the actor playing the role, you won't just be given a chance to start again; it will be more than that. You will feel reborn, and most importantly, set free. And this is the goal you should strive for. To feel free. To feel new. To feel YOU! (If you're still wondering how to make a change inside out, check our 5 tips on how to achieve that HERE). Take our EQUA babes for example, whom we teamed up at the beginning of this year, to show you how you are enough, just the way you are. And you can achieve it all, no matter your predisposition. Each of our 5 babes told us their own story, teaching us how a person should be two things only – who and what s/he wants. In any given moment.    Real talk with our EQUA girls   ''I use to remember being a child and being ashamed of my hair color. I was begging my mother to let me color my hair in order to be like everybody else ..., but she didn’t let me. /…/ When I got older, I found an article with information that there are only 2% of read-heads in the world. That was the moment I said to myself: I am lucky to be in that 2%. I am UNIQUE.'' - @anastasijakajba   ''In this life, that's all perfect on Instagram, you feel a big pressure to look perfect, or in a certain way, especially if you're dealing with skin problems. However, we have to learn that at the end of the day, we are still the best versions of ourselves, so the skin or anything like that shouldn't really define us and we really should embrace our own selves.'' - @nicclinn   ''From the 9h operation due to diagnosed scoliosis to my own ointment brand, I am leading right now. I could have never thought that the hardest experience in life would lead me to the successful business story I am writing today.'' - @jasna.tattoocare   ''Handball made my life comfortable, happy, and most of all fulfilled. Until 2005, when I suffered a serious arm injury, which led to only one – end of my handball career. From dreaming of playing internationally, my dreams quickly went to dust. But I didn’t want to stop. After the injury, I set myself clear and realistic goals. This was the point I involved myself in running and gym, working on the things where I can still compete. Today, I can say I found my new love. Love, where I can clear my mind, think about life, and grow out as more positive – running.'' – @sasarunsaround ''It sounds like a cliché, but if you're happy, everyone around you is going to be happy, so just trust yourself and go for it. What's the worst that can happen? You don't make it? Well, ... the world still spins around anyways. So just try it, go out there and do it.'' – @ndolonegra    Now it’s time to stretch yourself; to grow and allow yourself to develop. Think of it as a journey of self-discovery. Do the things you normally do. Nothing more, nothing less. Just be yourself and show everyone who's the boss around here.  So, what are you waiting for? Make the decision to #beyourbestself and show how YOU DO YOU in the best possible way!    @myequa

MODERN. MINIMAL. SUSTAINABLE. LOCAL.   From idea to design, to development and release, we're happy to announce our newest & most wanted collaboration with BOOPACKS girls from Slovenia, featuring matching EQUA water bottle and a BOO backpack.   Taking inspiration from BOOPACKS's affinity for design and minimalism, this collaboration explores the boundaries between an outdoor and healthy lifestyle, pushing it into a carry-on-chic duo meant for the city and beyond. And why is it so important to keep yourself on top of the game in your busy schedules - can be found out HERE. BOOPACKS is a design label founded by two sisters – Dominika and Katarina Bučar – that is all about clean, minimal & modern style with the edge of standing out in its uniqueness and distinctiveness. Their story started with a simple handmade drawstring backpack named BOO that took its name from their surname, which when added the word pack, forms a linked connection in the brand itself.   And what makes this collaboration so special? Well .. think about it, where do you usually place your water bottle when on-the-go?   A backpack that matches your hydration companion might just be the case. MATERIAL   Both water bottle & a backpack are made of faux-leather fabric, making it trendy & nature-friendly all the way. BOOPACK comes with special BOO knots, flap with magnetic closure and an inner zipper pocket for the most essential things as well.   SIZE   BOOPACK comes in the size of 40cm x 40 cm, making it a perfect fit for your EQUA water bottle (750 ml).   MONOGRAMMING ADD ON   We just love the idea of creating one-of-a-kind special pieces, so why not customize your BOOPACK with a monogram, making your name your logo on its own! LOCAL DESIGN   We love local! That’s why we teamed up with BOOPACKS girls, that are coming from Ljubljana, Slovenia just like we! This not only gives us a strong sense of place and love for our city but is also making our collaboration more environmentally friendly & better-made. The match-made-in-heaven is coming out on 17th of October, 2019 at 3 pm (CET), and you better be fast, as the perfect duo comes in a limited edition only!  

Do you find yourself easily distracted while working? From phone ringing, (e)meetings to cooping between different tasks, there is always something that can disrupt your workflow. Especially if you're working from home which requires even stronger attention to cope with the intensity of workflow. However, while dealing with work (no matter what kind or type), we easily forget about those little (yet most) important things - to eat, stretch, and most importantly - drink water. Drinking enough water makes you focus better, makes your brain function faster and keeps you awake & energized. We’re all aware of the importance of hydration (if not – make sure to see all the reasons, why you should be chugging down the next sip of water HERE), yet we still easily forget to meet our daily quota. So what can you do to encourage hydration in your workplace and get back to work re-energized? Scroll down & find out. 1 Keep water at your desk Having a water bottle at your desk is the best visual reminder to hydrate. And make sure to choose one with a design and function you really love (all varieties can be found in our online store). This way, filling it up before you head out the door will be a no brainer.  2 Take regular hydration breaks Even in the busiest of days, make sure to take a quick water break. That can be achieved with a simple sip of water, where you take a moment for yourself and relax the mind for just a second. Afterward, your mind and body will be ready to accomplish every little challenge coming along your workday. 3 Keep hydrating snack close at your disposal 20% of your daily water intake comes from the foods you eat, especially in the summertime. That’s why you should find hydrating fruits or vegetables and eat smaller bits once in a while to help you stay hydrated and energized. True boosting food with a hydrating impact can be berries cucumbers, watermelon and any type of leafy greens. Now stop and take a moment to hydrate!   P.S.: Don’t forget to remind others to drink water as well. Happy and healthy co-workers are the kinds we all love the most, right? :)

Did you know that children are at a greater risk of dehydration than adults? In relation to grown-ups, children have a larger proportion of their skin available to lose sweat and be exposed to heat (especially during hot summer days). So by the time children start experiencing thirst, they're already at least 3% dehydrated, and water does far more than quench thirst. Water is a cooling mechanism, it transports fluids and nutrients, improves digestion, helps with cognitive function and maintains a healthy weight (more reasons about the importance of water can be found HERE). That's why you shouldn't wait for your kids to tell you they're thirsty before offering them water. Especially because children don't always recognize immediately that they're thirsty as they're usually too busy having fun :) Photo: lilihalodecoration    Signs and symptoms that your child is (becoming) dehydrated There are a lot of symptoms of dehydration, yet, the easiest way to tell if your child is hydrated is by the frequency of bathroom breaks or wet nappies they have (pay attention to decreased urine output!). Other symptoms might be:   - Thirst - Headaches - Poor concentration - Dry or cracked lips/mouth - Constipation - Increased heart rate or low blood pressure - Dark, strong and concentrated urine or - Mood changes (tired, sleepy, irritable).   Therefore, you should offer them water and other hydrating beverages and food throughout the whole day. Below we list a few simple tricks that will protect your child and allow him to enjoy the playground and school time healthy & active.  Photo: lilihalodecoration   Top three tips & tricks for keeping your kids hydrated all year long 1 Educate your child. Let your little one know about water and the fact that our bodies are made up of approximately 70% of water. Also, they should know the recommended amount of water for them to have is at least 4-6 glasses of water per day.  2 Make their beverage tasty but healthy. Not all kids like to drink plain water. So, play around with it. Make it tasty and colorful by adding different pieces of fruit and herbs in their water. Creating homemade fruit and veggie smoothies is also a great way to add more fluids to your child's body. Needless to say, it's quite fun making them together :)  3 Get a cute water bottle for them. Encourage them to carry their water bottle with them at all times. Have a healthy BPA free and clean water bottle for your kid that will be always full and accessible to them. To make it more fun, let your kids pick out their own water bottle in their favorite color or decorated with their favorite characters (see the whole selection in our online store). This way they'll be more motivated and keen to take it everywhere with them. To keep their hydration at top of the game, pay special attention to hydration before, after, and during their physical activity (whether its sports or ordinary playtime). And never forget that you are a role model for them – so the way you take care of your hydration will always influence them first. It's not always easy to stay on track with everything the little ones are up to, especially when we're not around them. However, keep in mind that good hydration habits last a lifetime, and building them at a small age makes a huge difference!  DON'T WAIT, HYDRATE!   P.S.: Share these tips with a mom you know. She'll thank you for this, we promise.

 Great improvements can be made with small changes to your everyday habits. And carrying a water bottle with you at all times make you one step closer those for sure. It helps you stay hydrated, influences your mind & body performance while making you stand out and looking beautiful.   In this era, buying disposable plastic bottle is nonsensical considering all the alternatives there are available. So if you are thinking about owning a reusable water bottle, you are for sure a great step closer in making a positive lifestyle change. At EQUA, we’re designing water bottles so that you can enhance all the health benefits of drinking water. And we’re devoting lots of our attention to the quality of our products in this sense.  Many of our water bottles are made from high-quality borosilicate glass. Glass that is known as durable, sustainable and resistant. And just because glass can break when dropped or mishandled does not mean it is a weak material of construction. While the different variations of glass may look similar, they are not the same. Borosilicate glass – the main component of all EQUA glass water bottles – is a significant upgrade from traditional glass, and these differences can make a big impact on both, your personal health and environment when combined over time. It’s good for you. Borosilicate glass resists chemicals and acid degradation, so you don’t need to worry about stuff soaking into your water. You can put it in the dishwasher or use it to store hot liquids. No need to concern yourself with the bottle heating up and releasing harmful toxins into the liquid you are drinking. A wide mouth provides enough room for fruit or herb infusions, so you may use your EQUA glass bottle to suffuse your favorite tea or coffee safely as well. It’s better for your surroundings. Disposable plastic water bottles are harmful to the environment. They almost always end up in either a landfill, lake or ocean and often times the process of breaking down and reusing plastics leaves a heavy carbon footprint. Since borosilicate glass is made from naturally abundant materials that are more easily obtained than oil, the environmental impact is also smaller. Not to mention, if handled with care, borosilicate glass can last a lifetime. It makes things taste better. Have you ever drank from disposable plastic bottles and tasted the plastic from which you are drinking? This occurs because it is actually seeping into your water due to the solubility of the plastic. This is both harmful to your health and unpleasant. When using borosilicate glass the liquid inside remains pure, and because borosilicate glass has low solubility, it keeps your beverage free from contamination. It takes time to switch to a greener, more conscious lifestyle, but with the right mindset and concentrated effort, we can all get there. And owning a nature-friendly water bottle is just one step we can take towards a smarter, more sustainable lifestyle.  GET YOUR OWN EQUA

More than 8,000,000 tonnes of plastic enters the world's oceans each year, affecting the sea and the marine life inside. And if this continues, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Not to mention, each time we'll sit down to eat a meal, more than 100 pieces of the same microplastic will fall onto our plates. So, it's only up to us to change that. Earth is our best friend. A friend that provides us with all the resources to live here. It gives us the air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat and land to stay. All for our betterment.   Earth's environment has been glowing for more than 4,5 billion years, yet in the last 100 years, we affected our habitat, wildlife, and nature more than ever. With a durable, light and versatile material. ''Disposable plastic. A material, designed to last forever, for products designed to last minutes.''    More than 8,000,000 tonnes of plastic enters the world's oceans each year, affecting the sea and the marine life inside. Birds, fish, and shellfish are keen to mistake plastic for food, especially when the single-use plastic breaks down into smaller pieces. And if this continues, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Not to mention, each time we'll sit down to eat a meal, more than 100 pieces of the same microplastic will fall onto our plates. So it's only up to us to change that.   OUR IMPACT    In celebration of World Earth Day, EQUA partnered up with National Geographic Slovenia to raise awareness about the problem that is affecting us all and inspire you to commit and make a change, together with us. Together, we announced the video for their ''Planet or Plastic'' campaign, to shed a light on the global plastic pollution crisis and inspire you to care about your surroundings.  ''Because only together, we can get closer to the change that matters and past the edge of what's possible.''    10 years ago, we at EQUA made a pledge. To fight against single-use plastic and encourage the use of tap water.  And we're proud to see, what became a vision in 2009, is fighting its purpose up to 2019 and on. Our dream is to live in an environment where reusables are seen as a resource and not waste. And if only one person switches to using a reusable water bottle, 217 disposable plastic bottles can be saved from going to a landfill that same year.  The final station of single-use plastic pollution is not the sea and animals, but humanity, so think before you drink!

 There's something about fresh blossoming flowers on a tree-lined street or peeking out of a field of grass that makes Spring so special. The time of year when everything in nature is changing and promising new hope. Like taking a big breath of fresh air.  .New beginning. A fresh start. New hope. .This Spring, we're stepping outside the comfort zone and letting you be rewarded with a crescendo of bird songs, the welcome sight of animals and a display of flowers bursting into colorful life. With two new EQUA water bottles, we're celebrating perfect balance in a diverse, unique & dynamic way. To provide the world with more life & less waste.  Meet Ginkgo & Bloom –  two conventional beauties of eternity and existence. . .Two halves, that together complete wholeness. Combined in perfect harmony, each one of two new EQUA water bottles has it's own form of duality. Ginkgo, a symbol of strength, hope, and peace for many. A living fossil, inspired by eternity, which springs in the human adaption and faith. Designed with fondness to nature, Ginkgo embodies the promise for change that would heal the world. .Bloom, a reflection of life, existence, and renewal. Inspired by the blooming blossoms, which are, just like Spring, fiercely twisting in a transitional dance of new life, growth, and celebration at shifting from Winter’s fortress. Etheric and strong, the water bottle embodies the primal force of transformation and revival. .Beautiful colors of Ginkgo & Bloom are becoming apparent in many landscapes as the two flowers came out of hiding and started blooming while offering a life that leaves less of an impact on the world.  The first edition of sprayed bottles with glossy print evermore is excited to burst into life in an explosion of sight, sound, color, and sustainability, so what a better invitation to get out and awaken? GET YOUR GINKGO & BLOOM

This February, EQUA made its debut in the fashion world, visiting all 3 major world known fashion weeks. From hectic days, runway shows, to meeting Influencers from all around the globe, we stepped on the scene on what’s to come with our favorite fashion Ambassador, Tesa Jurjaševič. The trendiest accessory to carry during Fashion Weeks? Water bottle. EQUA strives to incorporate designs, that will act sustainably, yet look flawlessly amazing. In this sense, it is important we always stay up to date – on what’s soon-to-be and how to make an impact. Our primary rule is to stay hydrated while looking good doing it.  . Perfect timing to get inspired is worldwide runways. As the fashion week excitement starts, most participants say goodbye to sleeping and eating, while waving hello to endless nights, deadlines, and a dozen outfit changes per day. And in this hectic time – water is a must. You have to make an impression – looking and feeling beautiful inside out. The latter confirms even Tesa, our beloved fashionista, who shared a glimpse behind the fashion weeks in our interview. . Hydration break, with a touch of fashion. 1 Tesa - you and fashion. What does it mean to you and how does it awaken your creativity? Fashion can be easily judged and compared as it is based on the looks, on one’s appearance, however it is also a form of art. It’s creative, full of passion and beautiful ideas that all come together in one single garment. And for me, fashion is not just love. It is a true passion, a way of expressing myself and a way of life. My love for it started quite early and I’m not really sure why I fell in love with it in the first place, but it’s something that has been a part of my everyday life and my identity for as long as I can remember. It definitely gives me an opportunity to be creative, to get inspired and hopefully to inspire! 2 When did you start participating in fashion week trills and how did that happen? First fashion week I’ve ever attended was the Milan fashion week in 2013 and to be completely honest, I can’t remember why and how I decided to go there. I believe I was influenced by other bloggers that would attend fashion weeks on a regular basis, I applied to a few shows and when I actually got invited to some of them, I decided to give it a try! What I do remember is that I had absolutely no idea what was I getting myself into, it was definitely quite different to how my fashion weeks look now, but it was a cute experience from which I’ve learned a lot.  3 Please portray one day in-between the shows. I’d wake up around 6:30/7 AM to have my usual morning routine, including proper breakfast, beauty touch, and smooth water intake. During fashion month I work with a special hair salon, so each morning their stylist would come to my hotel to do my hair. I usually leave the room around 10 AM (or earlier, it depends on a schedule). And after that, it’s pretty much running from one place to another. Fashion shows, events, and presentations are usually spread all over the city, so I’d walk up to 20km per day! Of course, on the go, I have to also take photos and prepare content for my social media, so lunch breaks are usually spent editing photos. In this regard, I always try to stay hydrated in between, as it keeps me looking fresh and energized at all times. I come back to my hotel room around 7/8PM, just to get ready for evening events, that can last up to 2 AM in the morning.  4 What are the must-haves in your bag when traveling from one fashion week to another? As far as beauty goes I’d say some sort of hair oil (as with airplanes and New York weather your hair gets out of control), a hand cream, face masks, and a good concealer to hide those dark circles! Additionally, a chic bottle that looks like a fashion accessory is just perfect to keep my appearance fresh & my mind focused on those hectic days. And of course, bandages are a must and also a good book and good music on your phone to pretty much keep you sane!  Chic bottle that looks like a fashion accessory is just perfect to keep your appearance fresh, no matter how hectic your days can be. So grab your EQUA and make it slay. SHOP EQUA BOTTLE NOW Special thanks to Tesa Jurjaševič, blogger and EQUA’s Ambassador for sharing a glance of fashion week in-sights, the side rarely who speaks about.

Living fast and coping with busy schedules, we often end up eating more of what’s convenient, rather than what's good for our bodies. We crave to please our taste buds, yet remain unaware of the health hazards that this style of eating might give us.   ''The best diet is the one that combines two attributes: foods which contain all nutrients essential for our body functions and the ones that boost our mood.''   It is of most importance to practice balanced diet, to stay hydrated and reach for the right nutrients in order to stay healthy and full of energy. And our culinary expert Ayatana is now sharing her story on how she started her journey to healthy dining and revealing her tips to a balanced diet. Meet Aleksandra, the founder of Ayatana Your interest in health goes back to your roots. When did you realize you want to become a gourmet expert and why?It came naturally and it wasn't strategically planned per se. I've always enjoyed spending time in the kitchen, either cooking or baking. Some of my first memories from the time I was very young are actually from the kitchen and I suppose I've been always interested in food. I started discovering plant-based food when I was faced with my health problems in my mid-twenties. This was a breaking point and from there onwards, everything changed in my life. I started focusing more on food in sense not just as something we eat but also as something that really fulfills our bodies. I decided to learn from the best, did my first online course and later onsite experience with Matthew Kenney Culinary Academy team and got a license from this amazing culinary school. Then I combined this with my love for cooking and voila, it happened.  .What do you want to communicate with the chosen branch of culinary? My intentions are not transforming people into vegans or trying to convince them that only plant-based lifestyle is the one that matters. I’d really like to introduce a plant-based food and a plant-based lifestyle as something interesting, different and really tasteful. I strongly believe that my role is in teaching people how to prepare nutritious, colorful, simple and fast plan-based plates. I thrive when I can show people how to add more vegetables and fruits in their diets. If someone decides to go vegan, great, if not that's ok too. Of course, I think as a society we have to pay more attention to the environment and protect animals. I guess once you start paying more attention to how and what you eat, this sensitivity organically enters your life without you even noticing it sometimes. What does the term balanced diet mean to you and how to achieve one? For me, a balanced diet is definitely structured from all the nutrients our bodies need to function well: proteins, vegetables, fruit, carbs, and fat. Among these, I always tend to choose wholesome ingredients which fill my body with vitamins, minerals, fibers & everything my body needs to stay strong and alive. I strongly believe the best diet is the one that combines two parts: getting all the needed nutrients in our bodies and the one that makes us feel good. This is why I never feel bad or guilty after eating a plant-based cake or some comfort food.  . How do you integrate drinking water into your daily routine? I find summer time much easier to drink water or rather I get reminded to drink more water due to higher temperatures. Drinking enough did not come naturally for me to be honest, I had to learn how to "track" thirstiness. What really helped me was the moment I started adding "extras" to my warm water, like lemon, ginger, turmeric, different herbs, and spices. Especially now in winter months. Besides, I always make sure I have my favorite Mismatch Graphite bottle with me all the time. Yes, I have more than one, but I keep this one at the hand's reach always :) . Thank you, Aleksandra, for sharing with us a glimpse of your gourmet path & healthy lifestyle. Find out more about Ayatana on her Instagram & Website.
