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).

Tako z veseljem sporočamo, da po letu raziskovanja, izobraževanja in testiranja končno predstavljamo EQUACARE – sestrski brand, ki bo šel še dlje pri oblikovanju tvojih trajnostnih navad, ne da bi pri tem ogrozil tvoj stil in dobrobit. ‘’ Poslovi se od tradicionalne kozmetike. EQUACARE ti pomaga znebiti se vseh agresivnih sestavin, hkrati pa zmanjšaš uporabo enkratnih izdelkov.’’ EQUACARE je linija izdelkov za nego telesa in doma, ki je bila zasnovana za nego tvoje kože na najbolj naraven način, hkrati pa ščiti planet pred škodljivimi sestavinami in odpadki, ki jih to prinaša. Naša rešitev? Koncentrirana praškasta formula.  Večina tradicionalnih izdelkov za nego vsebuje le 1/10 aktivnih sestavin. 1/10, ki verjetno vsebuje parabene, alkohole ali kakšne umetne dišave. In ostalo? No … ostalo je le voda, ki le povečuje volumen embalaže in povečuje ogljični odtis med prevozom. Tako je skrivnost EQUACARE v naravni praškasti formuli. Edina 1/10, ki jo dejansko potrebuješ, ko gre za nego telesa in doma. Ostalo je voda, ki jo dodaš sama. Enaka učinkovitost, boljša kakovost, manj odpadkov.  Kako deluje?  Prejmeš paket lepih razpršilnikov in več dodatkov, dostavljenih k tebi domov. Skrivnost je v koncentrirani praškasti formuli.

V tem življenju, ki je na Instagramu videti popolno, pogosto čutiš velik pritisk, da izgledaš popolno ali na določen način. Hrepeniš po popolni koži, vitki postavi, čudovitih dolgih laseh ali čemerkoli, kar bi te globoko naredilo privlačno za druge. Ampak kako bi bilo, da bi se za spremembo v tem trenutku preprosto dovolila biti ti? ''BODI TI, DELAJ TI, ZA SEBE.''   Ne zdi se kot velika stvar, a v resnici je to absolutno ogromno. Postavi svoje namene, začni svoje manifestacije in utišaj vse, kar ne prinaša pozitivnosti v tvoje življenje. Ker ko obrneš iskanje navznoter in začneš resnično razumeti ''sebe'', igralca, ki igra vlogo, ne dobiš le priložnosti, da začneš znova; to bo več kot to. Čutila boš, da si ponovno rojena, in kar je najpomembneje, osvobojena. In to je cilj, ki bi ga morala stremeti. Čutiti svobodo. Čutiti novost. Čutiti TI! (Če se še sprašuješ, kako narediti spremembo od znotraj navzven, preveri naših 5 nasvetov, kako to doseči TUKAJ). Vzemi naše EQUA punce za primer, s katerimi smo se povezali na začetku tega leta, da ti pokažemo, kako si dovolj, ravno takšna, kot si. In lahko dosežeš vse, ne glede na tvoje predispozicije. Vsaka od naših 5 punc nam je povedala svojo zgodbo, učila nas, kako bi morala biti oseba le dve stvari – kdo in kaj želi. V vsakem trenutku.    Resni pogovor z našimi EQUA dekleti   ''Spomnim se, da sem bila otrok in sem bila sram svojega barve las. Prosiła sem mamo, da mi dovoli pobarvati lase, da bi bila kot vsi drugi ..., a mi ni dovolila. /…/ Ko sem odrasla, sem našla članek z informacijami, da je na svetu le 2% rdečelask. To je bil trenutek, ko sem si rekla: Srečna sem, da sem v tistem 2%. Sem EDINSTVENA.'' - @anastasijakajba   ''V tem življenju, ki je na Instagramu videti popolno, čutiš velik pritisk, da izgledaš popolno ali na določen način, še posebej, če se spopadaš s težavami s kožo. Vendar se moramo naučiti, da smo na koncu dneva še vedno najboljše različice sebe, zato koža ali karkoli takega ne bi smela resnično definirati nas in res bi se morali sprejeti takšne, kot smo.'' - @nicclinn   ''Od 9-urne operacije zaradi diagnosticirane skolioze do lastne blagovne znamke mazil, ki jo trenutno vodim. Nikoli si ne bi mislila, da bi me najtežja izkušnja v življenju pripeljala do uspešne poslovne zgodbe, ki jo pišem danes.'' - @jasna.tattoocare   ''Rokomet mi je omogočil udobno, srečno in predvsem izpolnjeno življenje. Do leta 2005, ko sem utrpela resno poškodbo roke, ki je vodila le do enega – konca moje rokometne kariere. Od sanj o igranju na mednarodni ravni so se moje sanje hitro razblinile. A nočem se ustaviti. Po poškodbi sem si postavila jasne in realne cilje. To je bil trenutek, ko sem se vključila v tek in telovadbo, delala na stvareh, kjer lahko še vedno tekmujem. Danes lahko rečem, da sem našla svojo novo ljubezen. Ljubezen, kjer lahko umirim misli, razmišljam o življenju in postanem bolj pozitivna – tek.'' – @sasarunsaround ''Zveni kot kliše, a če si srečna, bodo vsi okoli tebe srečni, zato preprosto zaupaj sebi in pojdi za tem. Kaj je najslabše, kar se lahko zgodi? Ne uspeš? No, ... svet se še vedno vrti. Zato preprosto poskusi, pojdi ven in to stori.'' – @ndolonegra    Zdaj je čas, da se raztegneš; da rasteš in si dovoliš razvijati se. Poglej to kot potovanje samo-odkrivanja. Delaš stvari, ki jih običajno počneš. Nič več, nič manj. Preprosto bodi sebe in pokaži vsem, kdo je tukaj šef.  Torej, na kaj čakaš? Odloči se, da #beyourbestself in pokaži, kako TI DELAŠ TI na najboljši možen način!    @myequa

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Poleg srca je naš možgani najpomembnejši del telesa - sposoben izjemnih čudes. Brez skrbi zanj lahko zmanjšamo dolgoživost možganov, zmanjšamo delovanje spomina in škodimo naši ustvarjalnosti. Glede na to, da so naši možgani približno 80% vode, je prvo pravilo za ustvarjanje vrhunskega stanja delovanja in optimalne ustvarjalnosti pravilna hidracija. Mladi talentirani igralka, model in umetnica je razkrila svojo skrivnost ustvarjalnosti in delila svoje nasvete za boljše počutje. Spoznaj Injo Zalto "Možnost izražanja svoje ustvarjalnosti je tisto, kar naredi moj vsakdan popoln." Kako se držiš energično med delom in potovanjem? Zame je iskanje navdiha v naravi, različnih kulturah, arhitekturi in ljudeh na splošno tisto, kar me resnično žene naprej in me nenehno premika naprej, da lahko sprostim svoj ustvarjalni potencial. A pogosto, ko je moj urnik zelo zaseden, se lahko enostavno prepustim, pozabim na zdrav obrok ali celo preživim 3 ure na soncu, ne da bi spila požirek vode. Z tega razloga preprosta gesta, da sem pozorna na svoje telo, kako ga obravnavam in kaj vanj dajem, naredi razliko v mojem splošnem počutju in energijskih ravneh. Kaj spodbuja tvojo ustvarjalnost? Ko ustvarjam, naj bo to slikanje, igranje ali snemanje naslednje kampanje, vedno rada razmišljam izven okvirov. Iščem različne načine, kako spodbuditi svojo ustvarjalnost in ugotovila sem, da najbolje delujem, ko sem v miru s svojim telesom in umom. Joga, veganstvo in velike količine sveže vode mi pomagajo hitreje razmišljati, ostati osredotočena in doživeti večjo jasnost in ustvarjalnost. Imate kakšne preproste nasvete, kako spremeniti pitje vode v zdravo rutino? Svojo EQUA steklenico imam na nočni omarici, da lahko zjutraj kot prvo naredim nekaj velikih požirkov vode in začnem dan osvežena. Prav tako poskušam imeti čim več hrane, bogate z vodo. Preprosto obožujem sadje in zelenjavo, smutije in juhe. Vse to pomaga pri ohranjanju hidracije. Očitno pa mi je najbolj všeč funkcija svetljenja na moji EQUA steklenici, saj je to tako subtilen opomnik, a zelo učinkovit in mi je resnično pomagal izboljšati navade pitja vode. Hvala, Inja, da si nam pokazala delček svojega ustvarjalnega življenja. Več o Inji najdeš na njenem Instagramu.
