Sun is shining, flowers are blooming and the open-air season has officially begun! But, while nature is finally waking up, all you want to do is - sleep. And the "best" part is, you didn't even spend all night out partying. In fact, you got a good 8h of sleep, but somehow you are still feeling tired, without energy and motivation to do anything.Don't stress, spring fatigue syndrome is actually a natural symptom caused by our physical system. During winter months, due to shorter daylight hours, your body runs low in hormones like serotonin a.k.a happiness booster. With the arrival of spring and longer hours of sunlight, the body needs to naturally adjust, so your body temperature rises, blood vessel dilates, and blood pressure sinks. More light causes the body to release more of the “activity hormone” serotonin while the amount of melatonin still stays high. Your body can't adapt to this change overnight, so as a result, you may feel lethargic, less motivated, and tired. To put it bluntly, there is a scientifically proven reason why you are not feeling mega active in the beginning of spring.   These 5 simple tricks can help you overcome spring fatigue in no time: 1. Swap your morning cup of coffee with matcha Matcha makes the perfect source of stable energy. The main difference with coffee lies in the way Matcha delivers caffeine to your brain. The caffeine in Matcha is absorbed and released slowly over a period of 6-8 hours, which means it provides a sustainable energy boost, rather than a rapid spike and “jitters” associated with coffee. 2. Start your day with a cold shower Taking icy showers may boost your immune system and make you more resistant to illness, improve blood circulation, and increase the level of alertness, setting you up for a refreshed and energized start of the day.  3. Fuel your body with proper nutrition To nurture your body from within reach for seasonal fruit and vegetables like leafy greens, such as arugula, spinach or lettuce that are packed with nutrients. The abundance of fresh produce makes it super easy to enjoy lots of delicious salads. 4. Get activeWe know establishing a regular workout routine can be a pain, but a short power walks or city bikes can also do the trick. Anything that includes movement will improve your metabolism and enhance blood circulation, which will as a result make you more energetic and motivated. 5. Drink enough waterYour body needs enough water to properly work. Period. If you struggle to drink more water you will love our Smart water bottle. She calculates the exact amount of water your body needs, tracks every sip you take and sends reminders to help you reach your daily goal. Learn more about smart technology HERE.

Is there a way to fight summer fatigue and improve your energy levels? We dived into science backed facts and are breaking them down for you. Here’s the breakthrough fact: we feel the heat in our body based on how our blood flow works. So, when we’re cold, all our blood stays with the internal organs to keep them warm and almost none gets to the skin (we get frostbite 🥶). And when it’s hot outside, our blood flow goes crazy and tries to remove the excess heat through the skin. Basically, your goal during the heatwave is to keep your body as calm and relaxed as possible. Here are 3 tips that work 100%:   Take warm showers   A cold shower feels cooler at first because of the combination of cold water and less blood flow to the skin. But in fact, it makes our core body temperature increase, because blood moves away from the skin to “keep the core warm”. And then some minutes later, we feel hot again.  So, keeping cool will be more effective with a warm shower (water temperature about 33⁰C). It will lead to increased blood flow to the skin, and more heat loss from the body and more comfort for you in the long term.     Switch to Matcha for that energy boost   Matcha is the perfect source of stable energy. The main difference with coffee lies in the way Matcha delivers caffeine to your brain. The caffeine in Matcha is absorbed and released slowly over a period of 6-8 hours, which means it provides a sustainable energy boost, rather than a rapid spike and “jitters” associated with coffee. Thus, keeping your blood flow and body temperature more stable.     Be super conscious of your sleep   Saying that sleep is important for your health is an understatement. Just ask  this guy. But good sleep is not always easy to achieve in the heat. So be sure to: be very consistent with your bedtime, stay away from alcohol and caffeine, keep the bedroom cool and dark (ventilation, air conditioning or at least opening the windows, in combination with blackout curtains works best), keep your phone out of the view at least 1 hour before bedtime, and take a warm shower before going to sleep.     We say this all the time, but it’s ESPECIALLY true during hot weather: drink your water consistently during the day to keep your body well. You know we always have you covered with a huge selection of water bottles, so  have a look if you’re currently looking for one.

Do you often find yourself feeling thirsty? Yep, it happens to us as well. Sometimes life just gets too busy and you find yourself running around all day without taking even a sip of water. There are days when you forget your bottle at home, sometimes you leave it at the office and sometimes your favorite bottle mysteriously disappears, as your partner so conveniently borrowed it again. Without even knowing, you are ending the day with a bad headache, your skin feels dry and the brain all fuzzy. To prevent first signs of dehydration it's important to stay hydrated throughout the day, but we know that with your busy everyday schedule, it's hard to keep track of water consumption. Luckily there is a super easy way to find whether you are properly hydrated - the pinch test also known as the Skin turgor test. According to the National Library of Medicine, Skin turgor refers to the skin's elasticity and its ability to change shape and return to normal. Lack of skin turgor or its elasticity can occur due to fluid loss when your body is not properly hydrated.    HOW TO DO A PINCH TEST: To test the skins turgor and find out weather you are dehydrated do the following steps  Pinch the skin on the top of your hand using two fingers. Hold the skin in place with your fingers for three seconds. Release the skin and see if it snaps back to its normal position. If the skin snaps back to its regular form, you're hydrated. If it takes a while to get back to its original shape it's a sign of fluid loss due to dehydration.     3 TIPS HOW TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION If the pinch test proved you are dehydrated, here are some helpful tips on how to get your hydration routine back on track, so it never happens again The first and most obvious one - drink more fluids. Preferably water, but you can also include unsweetened tea or natural pressed juice for increased fluid intake. Also, and we know this is a hard one, try to limit your coffee intake, or at least take a big glass of water with your morning fuel. Get your fluids from food as well. Fruit and vegetables with high water content such as strawberries, watermelon, cucumber or tomatoes make a great source of hydration as well. Don't wait until you feel thirsty to hydrate. Most recommendations focus on how much water we need to drink,  but not enough is said about how often you should be sipping on your water. The frequency and even distribution of water intake during the day is actually the key to preventing dehydration. Take a sip every 20 min to keep your hydration level high.     If you keep forgetting to drink enough water, another great solution could be a Smart water bottle  or as we like to call it - your personal hydration coach. Thanks to integrated smart technology, EQUA Smart will track your water intake and send you glowing reminders when it is the time to take the next sip. How convenient is that?

Want glowing looking skin? Eat your water! Yes, you read that right! Think about it, how many liters of water do you drink daily?

While for some people reaching this hydration level may be easy peasy lemon squeeze, not everyone can or remembers to drink so much water. And that's perfectly ok! A great way to increase your hydration level is incorporating water based fruits into your diet.     The best part is, not only are you increasing your water intake this way, but you are nurturing your body from the inside-out.

V letu 2010 smo se zavezali, da se borimo proti enkratnim plastenkam za vodo. In to obljubo izpolnjujemo dan za dnem, tudi po 10 letih. Tako da kljub izzivom in negotovim časom, v katerih smo se vsi znašli, imamo toliko razlogov za praznovanje in hvaležnost. VSE ZARADI VAS.Naša neverjetna skupnost, ki je to resnično omogočila. Hvala, da verjamete v našo zgodbo in delite našo ljubezen in spoštovanje do narave ter prepričanje, da lahko ena oseba resnično spremeni svet. V vseh teh 10 letih. “Skupaj smo doslej pomagali preprečiti 651 milijon enkratnih plastenk, da bi onesnažile naše okolje.” EQUA je bila ustanovljena leta 2010 z Anžetom Miklavcem in Stello Korošec kot rezultat ljubezni do narave in zdravega načina življenja. Cilj je bil izdelati in dostaviti izdelke vrhunske kakovosti, ki sledijo strogim etičnim standardom za večje dobro vseh.

NOVA & IZBOLJŠANA  V preteklih 10 letih smo vam predstavili več kot 200+ različnih oblik, in kljub temu se še naprej izboljšujejo z vsako spremembo, ki jo naredimo.

Dragi vsi, Ker se približujemo ne le najlepšemu času v letu, temveč tudi novemu desetletju EQUA, se ne moremo izogniti, da bi postali nekoliko čustveni (to so vse solze sreče, brez skrbi). Kar se zdi eno najtežjih in najbolj nepredvidljivih let za vse nas, nas je naučilo dragocene lekcije - v najtežjih časih je skupnost tista, ki resnično šteje. Želimo, da veš, da smo resnično hvaležni za vso ljubezen in podporo, ki ste nam jo dali v preteklih letih! Za večino nas se lahko ta december zdi drugačen, manj prazničen in morda celo nekoliko osamljen. Če se tako počutiš, želimo, da veš, da je to popolnoma normalno. Na nek način se vsi počutimo, da so naši najbolj ljubljeni prazniki letos videti nekoliko drugačni. A kljub temu je pomembno, da se spomnimo, da so naši ljubljeni morda izven dosega, a nikoli izven stika. Morda ne bomo mogli uživati v božičnih lučeh po svetu, a jih lahko še vedno prinesemo v naše domove. Morda ne bomo mogli obiskati vseh najboljših prazničnih zabav s prijatelji, a ni nič, kar ne bi popravila prijetna domača večerja, nekaj medenjakov in začinjenega vina, kajne?  Če imaš težave pri vstopanju v božični duh to sezono, si na pravem mestu. Ta december, bolj kot kdaj koli prej, smo na misiji, da vrnemo praznično magijo v naše domove in delimo pravo veselje ob darilih z vsakim od vas. Z našim prvim in edinstvenim - EQUA adventnim koledarjem. 10 PRESENEČENJ ZA 10 MAGIČNIH LET Med temi prazniki ne bo nobena želja ostala neizpolnjena. Pripravili smo nekaj veselo presenečenj z našimi EQUA steklenicami, ki, upamo, bodo zasvetile veselje v tebi. Majhen namig: vključena so nekatera čarobna božična darila, odlične možnosti za nakupovanje v zadnjem trenutku in zelo vesela presenečenja, ki jih bo vsak oboževal.  Zato si označi datume, prikazane na sliki zgoraj (če se dobro pogledaš, so nekateri namigi že razkriti), in bodi na tekočem z vsakim od nas na našem Instagramu. In do takrat - naredi svoj seznam želja, ker bo praznična radost prišla hitreje, kot si misliš! MOJ SEZNAM ŽELJA 

Alja Horvat, 23 let ilustratorka s sedežem v Sloveniji. Najbolj znana je po svojih drznih ženskih portretih, rada združuje drzne vzorce in ustvarja najbolj izjemne barvne kombinacije. Kombinacije, ki navdihujejo tudi našo sodelovanje.  Mlada in ustvarjalna, je popolna umetniška duša, s katero smo želeli sodelovati v našem prvem umetniškem sodelovanju. SPOZNAJ ALJO  Slovenska umetnica je bila uvrščena med Forbes 30 pod 30 v začetku leta 2020. Alja, kje si našla navdih za oblikovanje nove EQUA zaščite za steklenico? Navdih je prišel iz dejstva, da vsi potrebujemo čas zase v vsakdanjem življenju. Verjamem, da je skrb zase zelo pomembna in da bo skrb za naše telo in um pomagala izboljšati splošno zdravje in razpoloženje na dolgi rok. Nam lahko opišeš svoj ustvarjalni proces pri oblikovanju EQUA steklenice? Najprej običajno začnem zbirati slike, ki mi resnično všeč in predstavljajo "razpoloženje" oblikovanja, na katerem bom delala. Običajno te slike najdem na Pinterestu in ko jih imam vse zbrane, ustvarim moodboard. Po tem naredim črno-belo skico na svojem grafičnem tabličnem računalniku, nato pa začnem delati na barvah. Med risanjem vedno poslušam glasbo, to mi pomaga, da se sprostim in spodbuja mojo ustvarjalnost. ALJA HORVAT X EQUA  “To je sodelovanje, ki združuje umetnost z cilji hidracije. “ Igrive barve in živahni odtisi te bodo greli skozi celo sezono. Alja Horvat x EQUA nova steklenica je omejena izdaja. Povej nam, kaj predstavljajo tri figure žensk na steklenici? Imajo ime ali zgodbo za sabo?  Seveda, spoznaj moje punce! Imenovala sem jih Lepota, Zen in Joga. Vsaka deklica na zaščiti počne svoje stvari, vendar vse predstavljajo svoj "moment skrbi zase". Ena si lakira nohte, druga je pravkar prišla iz kopeli s peno, tretja pa dela jogo. Ilustrirala sem jih kot opomnik, da bi se vsaka ženska morala včasih ustaviti in poskrbeti zase na svoj način. Kako bi opisala svoj stil, pristop k grafičnemu oblikovanju? Moj stil je zelo barvit, živahen in maksimalističen. Objemam vzorce iz 60-ih in 70-ih let in vedno poskušam vključiti glasne barve ali odtise iz teh dveh obdobij. Veliko mojih ilustracij se vrti okoli nostalgije in hrepenenja po trenutkih, ki jih imamo zase.  Ali skrbiš za svojo hidracijo med ustvarjanjem umetnosti? Seveda, ves čas pijem vodo. To je prva stvar, ki jo naredim zjutraj. Ali imaš kakšna prepričanja ali pravila, po katerih živiš? Verjamem v pozitiven način razmišljanja, če misliš pozitivno, se ti lahko zgodi veliko dobrih stvari, to mi je bilo dokazano že mnogokrat. Sodelovanje z EQUA. Kako to? Kako si se odločila delati z našo blagovno znamko? Ne morem se spomniti, kako se je naše sodelovanje dejansko začelo, ker delamo na tem projektu že tako dolgo, vendar sem vedno ljubila EQUA blagovno znamko in to, kar počnete, še posebej glede okoljskega vpliva, ki ga imate na planet. Zelo sem vesela, da smo imeli priložnost delati skupaj in ustvariti tako čudovit dizajn. ALI SI NAVDUŠENA NAD NOVO STEKLENICO?  Pripravi se na novo OMEJENO IZDAJO  ALJA HORVATxEQUA STEKLENICO, ki izstopa iz množice s svojimi barvami in grafičnim oblikovanjem. Prihaja jutri, 14. oktober 2020 ob 14. uri (CEST). Za več informacij o prihajajočem sodelovanju, si oglej EQUA ali Aljo’s Instagram profil.

''Enkrat je priložnost, dvakrat je naključje, tretjič je tradicija.''  Po dveh uspešnih sodelovanjih z našo najljubšo modno oblikovalko Nina Šušnjara, nismo mogli storiti drugače, kot da gremo še enkrat :) in če si bila del prvega ali/ in drugega sodelovanja, lahko predvidevaš, da bo tokrat to VELIKO. Večje kot kadarkoli prej. SPREJMI NOVO SNYRxEQUA TORBO STEKLENICO   Ja – prav si videla – nadgradnja iz steklenice na ultimativno nujno stvar te sezone – torbo za steklenico. Prihaja s fino črno steklenico v nude razpoki in torbo, ki bo zadovoljila tvoje potrebe po prenašanju pametnega telefona ali steklenice za vodo, kamorkoli greš.   Nina, kakšna je bila tvoja inspiracija za oblikovanje? Inspiracijo sem našla v popolnosti in v vsem, kar je z njo narobe. Perspektiva, iz katere večina ljudi doživlja popolnost, je po mojem mnenju napačna, saj so kriteriji popolnosti obremenjujoči, omejujoči in obsojajoči. Kaj, če najdemo popolnost le v nepopolnosti? Predstavljaj si svet, kjer sprejemamo in cenimo naše “napake”. Svet, kjer naše šibkosti nenadoma postanejo naša moč in vir naše močne edinstvenosti. Svoboda. Mir. Hvaležnost. Verjamem, da je to način, da resnično opazimo lepoto bistva, ki je bilo ves ta čas skrito drugje, kot smo prvotno iskali. Znotraj. Kako bi stilizirala torbo za steklenico? Naša popolnoma nepopolna steklenica izgleda odlično v različnih stilih. Osebno bi jo stilizirala s športnimi oblačili ali uličnim stilom. Barve, ki smo jih uporabili, so nude in črna, in se ujemajo skoraj z vsemi barvami. Za ta poseben dodatek obožujem monokromatske obleke, kjer torba za steklenico resnično izstopa. Lahko je pravi izjavni kos ali pa jo lahko zliješ s svojo obleko v nude barvah.   ''Steklenica ima črno mat površino, prepleteno z nude razpoko in SNYR-ovim podpisom logotipom. Priložena torba za steklenico vsebuje žep za tvoj pametni telefon in nastavljiv dolg trak za enostavno nošenje.''   Imaš zaposlen življenjski slog kot oblikovalka. Kako ti EQUA pomaga ostati hidrirana? To je bil izziv, ne bom lagala. Predvsem zato, ker moje delo ni redno 9 do 5 pisarniško delo, ali kot mnogi mislijo “glamurozno”, ampak je bolj terensko delo. Ne le, da je moj življenjski slog zaposlen, ampak postane zelo fizičen zelo hitro :) Pred leti je voda postala moja številka 1 prijateljica in iskreno, sem se borila z ohranjanjem hidracijo, ne zato, ker ne bi imela steklenice vode, ampak zato, ker sem jo morala nekam postaviti, medtem ko sem tekla okoli z milijonom oblek, tkanin in torb. Tako smo prišli na idejo, da oblikujemo kul torbo za steklenico, kjer so naše roke še vedno proste in lahko delamo, kar moramo, ne da bi bili žejni.  To je tvoje 3rd sodelovanje z EQUA. Zakaj?  Ljudje, ki me poznajo, vedo, da je moja stvar zvestoba. Mislim, kje bi bili, če nihče ne bi bil zvest :) V preteklosti smo skupaj naredili dve uspešni sodelovanji in prihodnost se zdi še svetlejša za nas. EQUA vidim kot vse, v kar verjamem. Namenjena blagovna znamka iz moje domače države, ki se zavzema za ekologijo, trajnost, močne sporočila in pomembno vizijo. Od začetka svoje poti verjamem v sodelovanja. Skupaj lahko resnično naredimo bolje. Vsi, ki sodelujemo v tem projektu, verjamemo v vlaganje in skrb za stvari, še pomembneje pa skrbimo za sebe, ljudi okoli nas in odnose med nami. Blagovna znamka SUSNYARA v sodelovanju z EQUA je kot dva stara prijatelja, ki se povezujejo, preživljajo čas skupaj, skrbijo drug za drugega, se zabavajo in uresničujejo stvari. Obožujem to!   SI PRIPRAVLJENA NADGRADITI SVOJ DAN NA POTI? Pripravi se na novo OMEJENO SERIJO SNYRxEQUA TORBO STEKLENICO, ki te bo naredila brezhibno na vsakem koraku. Prihaja naslednji torek, 22. septembra 2020 ob 14. uri (CEST). Za več informacij o prihajajočem sodelovanju si oglej EQUA ali Nina Instagram profil.

Se kdaj primerjaš z drugimi? Imaš občutek, da te sodijo zaradi nečesa, kar si rekla ali naredila? V tvoji glavi poteka vojna, polna spominov, določenih dejanj in občutkov, ki jih doživljaš ali si jih doživela?  Kaj pa, če bi en dan, namesto vsega tega ''sodbe in primerjanja sebe z drugimi'', preprosto ''izbrala sebe''?  ZGODBA ZA TEM   Poglejmo korak nazaj in bodimo realni – EQUA sestavlja 35 ustvarjalnih posameznikov, od katerih je skoraj 20 žensk. Ženske, ki so močne, pogumne in edinstvene, vsaka s svojim naborom lastnosti. Kljub vsemu, kar je omenjeno, se vsaka od njih včasih znajde v trenutku dvoma o sebi. Tako kot vsi ostali.   Kako lahko mi, kot posamezniki, živimo najbolj opolnomočeno življenje?  V preteklih mesecih smo poskušali navdihniti ljudi, da se počutijo samozavestne takšne, kot smo, in nas učiti, da ni ničesar, česar ne moremo doseči! Vendar pa je ta leto postalo nenavadno, ko smo se najmanj tega nadejali, vsi smo bili pretreseni zaradi dogodkov v in okoli naših življenj, do te mere, da se je veliko nas spet počutilo slabo. Tako je ta nizki trenutek, ko se je vse začelo ... Naša marketinška in oblikovalska ekipa se je zbrala na nizu zoom klicev v karanteni, da bi našli navdih za vse, ki se počutijo negotove, prikrajšane ali na kakršen koli način slabe, vključno s seboj. Od oblačil za PJ (primerne za dolge Zoom klice), do iskanja skupne ideje, medtem ko smo bili oddaljeni drug od drugega, do razpravljanja o najboljši zgodbi, ki bi lahko predstavljala našo najboljšo različico. Nepredvidljivo, v nekaterih točkah dvomljivo, a izjemno vznemirljivo ustvarjalno potovanje, ki nas je po 2 mesecih pripeljalo do nečesa, kar boš lahko videla, nosila in uporabljala vsak dan in še več zelo kmalu.   OPOLNOMOČENE ŽENSKE OPOLNOMOČAJO ŽENSKE     Da bi proslavili in navdihnili ženske z vsega sveta, smo začeli od naše perspektive. Kaj opolnomočenje pomeni za nas in kaj želimo za vse okoli nas. Ker opolnomočenje nima nič skupnega s konkurenco, ampak ima vse skupnega s prispevkom.  OPOLNOMOČENA Z EQUA   Vse naše želje, ustvarjalnost in življenjske izkušnje so nas pripeljale do OPOLNOMOČENE. Nova, omejena serija steklenice, ki je bila zasnovana, da te spomni na tvojo notranjo moč. Da te spomni na tvoje aspiracije in cilje, ne da bi se primerjala z drugimi. Da te razveseli, ko to potrebuješ. Ali pa jo uporabi kot svoj dovolilnico, da slediš svojim sanjam!   Začelo se bo ta četrtek, 13. avgusta 2020 ob 14. uri (CEST).
