Nakupuj trajnostne izdelke EQUA CARE tukaj V zadnjih 10 letih smo izdelovali trajnostne steklenice za vodo z misijo zaščititi tvoje zdravje in bogastvo narave. V partnerstvu s tabo smo naredili pomembno razliko, pri čemer smo rešili več kot 650 milijonov enkratnih steklenic pred onesnaževanjem našega okolja. Zavezali smo se, da bomo zgradili naše podjetje na okolju prijazen način, in želimo to zavezo razširiti tudi na naše steklenice za vodo. 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. To je edina 1/10, ki jo dejansko potrebuješ. Ostalo je voda, ki smo jo odstranili, da bi zmanjšali obremenitev prevoza. Doma zmešaš prašek s tapnico, in v nekaj sekundah dobiš nov izdelek.  EQUACARE ti pomaga narediti večji vpliv z manj.    4 izdelki, 1 namen. Za izboljšanje odnosa s tvojim telesom in domom na naraven način.  EQUACARE ESSENTIALS SE SESTOJI IZ 2 PAKETOV: OSNOVNI IZDELKI ZA LJUBITELJE TELESA (sestavljeni iz mila za roke in telo) OSNOVNI IZDELKI ZA DOM (sestavljeni iz razpršilnika za nego posode in doma) Oba paketa imata več dodatkov, tako da ne boš potrebovala dodatne embalaže, kot pri tradicionalni uporabi. Kako preprosto je to?   Si pripravljena postati aktivna igralka v okolju?   Transparentne etikete. Brez škodljivih snovi. NA VOLJO ZDAJ   @equa_care

 Po nekaj mesecih načrtovanja, analiziranja in poslušanja tvojih povratnih informacij, smo navdušeni, da končno predstavljamo novo spletno stran myequa.com. Želeli smo zgraditi smiselno spletno stran, ki bolje predstavlja našo zgodbo, pri čemer igraš aktivno vlogo v njej. Želimo, da si del naše misije, in ti pokažemo nekaj odličnih primerov dela, ki ga opravljamo skupaj s tabo!   Z novim videzom smo popolnoma prestrukturirali samo spletno stran, kar je olajšalo brskanje, stvari pa je lažje najti. Poleg tega spletna stran zdaj vključuje popolnoma osvežen oddelek za revije, da te zabava tudi v najbolj deževnih dneh.  Odpelji se na potovanje z nami  1 Naredi ga edinstvenega Kot že veš, lahko personaliziraš katero koli steklenico z graviranjem pokrovčka z sporočilom in emoji po tvoji izbiri. In z novo spletno stranjo je to še lažje! Preprosto klikni gumb ''PERSONALIZIRAJ'' na desni strani tvoje najljubše steklenice, izberi svoj najljubši font za graviranje, vnesi svoje sporočilo + emoji po tvoji izbiri, in voila. Na pol si na poti do ustvarjanja svoje edinstvene steklenice za vodo :) Več o tem si lahko ogledaš TUKAJ.  2 Darilne opombe so najboljše opombe  Včasih si želimo privoščiti ultimativno trendovsko in naravi prijazno darilo, medtem ko drugič preprosto želimo obdariti nekoga drugega. Obe možnosti sta odlični! Čeprav darilo steklenice morda na začetku ni pričakovano darilo, je zagotovo eno najbolj dragocenih, in še bolj privlačno. Tvojim bližnjim omogoča, da se počutijo dobro (s pravilno hidracijo), izgledajo dobro (z najboljšim izborom naših oblikovalskih možnosti) in delajo dobro (govorijo v imenu narave in tvojega okolja). Torej, če želiš nekoga obdariti z steklenico kot idejo za darilo, preprosto izberi možnost ''To je darilo'' in dodaj sporočilo po svoji izbiri. Izkazalo se bo kot prava češnja na vrhu! Preizkusi to sama z katero koli steklenico, ki jo izbereš v naši spletni trgovini.  3 Tvoje mnenje je najpomembnejše   Ničesar ne cenimo bolj kot našo skupnost. Videti te uporabljati EQUA steklenice, pisati o svoji osebni izkušnji in absolutno ''ubijati'' s svojo prisotnostjo povsod, kjer vzameš svojo EQUA s seboj – to nam razbija srca. Zato smo dodali oddelek #myequa & #myimpact na dno vsake myequa.com strani, ki jo obiščeš, kjer lahko vidiš EQUA punce z vsega sveta, ki uporabljajo in se ponašajo s svojimi EQUA. In kje si ti v vsem tem? Če se morda ne najdeš ravno zdaj, poskrbi, da takoj posnameš sliko s seboj in svojo najljubšo EQUA steklenico, uporabi @myequa oznako in #myequa hashtag na sami fotografiji, in se vrni, da se vidiš, kako siješ na naši spletni strani! 4 Videi, boljši od našega TikToka  Medtem ko se smejimo in se zabavamo ob vsakem TikTok videu, ki ga ustvarimo (nas še nisi videla? Potem moraš nujno videti TO), želimo tudi tebi ponuditi dragoceno izkušnjo na naši spletni strani. Zato smo dodali dodaten video pod vsako stran izdelka, da dobiš pravi občutek, kako vsaka EQUA steklenica izgleda in se počuti v ''resnični'' uporabi. Oglej si primer našega najbolj zaželenega Mismatch Bronze.   In to je vse le za okus. Imamo še številne druge aktivnosti, ki potekajo, vključno z našim oddelkom za revije, zgodbo o EQUA, ekipo, ki stoji za tem, in še mnogo več. Torej, zdaj je vse, kar nam preostane, da te povabimo, da se odpraviš na potovanje po naši novi myequa.com, da si označiš svoje najljubše poglavje in se povežeš z nami na družbenih omrežjih (te lahko najdeš v nogi naše spletne strani) in ostaneš na tekočem z vsemi novicami. ZAČNI RAZISKOVATI ZDAJ

Ker se naša življenja zmanjšujejo iz dneva v dan, in tako tudi naše običajne aktivnosti, bo večina nas morala preživeti več časa doma v prihajajočih tednih. Ne glede na to, kako težko je morda predstavljati, da si ves čas ujet doma v tem težkem obdobju, moramo to gledati na nekoliko bolj pozitivno. To je čas, ko lahko nadoknadiš vse stvari, ki jih nikoli nisi uspela narediti, ali preprosto nadaljuješ z delom, ki si ga imela rada, tudi na prostem. V tem smislu smo sestavili seznam stvari, ki jih lahko počneš doma, ki te bodo ohranile zdrave, energične in zaposlene hkrati.   OSTANI MIRNA & TELUJ tvoje telo je vse, kar potrebuješ, zato spremeni svoje okolje v prostor za telovadbo in bodi na vrhuncu svoje zmogljivosti ves čas. Mi pri EQUA pogosto izvajamo različne brezplačne vadbe in joge, bodisi na našem blogu ali YouTube. Če si pripravljena, da se počutiš in izgledaš dobro, priporočamo različne vadbe, navedene spodaj:  Zbudi se s soncem z Eko Homovec Jutranja joga z Nives Orešnik Pridobi formo z Nives Orešnik In ne pozabi, da se hidriraj vmes! Pravilna hidracija šteje polovico vadbe. Se sprašuješ zakaj? Vse prednosti pitja vode najdeš TUKAJ.  Eksperimentiraj z grižljaji Zdaj je popoln čas, da osvežiš svoje kuharske veščine. Morda preprost jutranji smoothie ali 3-dnevni jedilnik (tistega, ki smo ga pripravili v sodelovanju z uspešno gurmanko Ayatana, je nujno imeti - poglej ga TUKAJ), delaj po naših enostavnih receptih za vrsto okusnih in predvsem zdravih jedi. RECIKLIRAJ NA SPLETU Zdaj je popoln čas, da se naučiš, kako ''reciklirati na spletu''. Naredi seznam stvari, ki jih nujno potrebuješ, daj dodatno pozornost alternativam brez odpadkov, ki jih ponujajo, ki jih morda ne opaziš neposredno v trgovini, in naroči svoje živila pravočasno in z manj odpadki. Mi pri EQUA si prizadevamo ponuditi zdrave in naravi prijazne alternative za enkratne plastične steklenice, zato smo se potrudili, da ti ponudimo vse možnosti preko naše lastne spletne trgovine. Prosto izberi vse oblikovne različice TUKAJ in uživaj v vsakem naslednjem požirku vode/čaja ali kave neposredno iz visoko kakovostne in dolgotrajne ponovne uporabe steklenice. ZABAVAJ SE Sedenje na enem mestu ves dan je lahko težko in obremenjujoče. Zato vklopi svojo najljubšo glasbo in zapleši stres stran. Da bi to popestrila, lahko ustvariš ali najdeš svoj plesni izziv in povabiš svoje prijatelje, da storijo enako.

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

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.

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.

Ali se pogosto zbudiš zjutraj in "nimaš kaj obleči"? Ja, tudi jaz!   Danes se veselimo oblačenja vsako jutro. Nekdaj je bilo to nekaj, kar smo morali opraviti, zdaj pa usklajevanje in sestavljanje oblek pomeni toliko kot resno poslovno srečanje.   In medtem ko stremimo k tistemu uredniškemu videzu, pogosto preprost dodatek za zdravje in modo opravi polovico dela. S malo pomoči EQUA's generacije MIX & MATCH zaščit. Zaščite, ki so pripravljene, da (od)oblečejo tvoj hidracijski partner za vsako priložnost, ki jo lahko pomisliš.   Zakaj je zaščita več kot le lepotni dodatek, s katerim bi se rada pohvalila? . Ker je FUNKCIONALNA. Ščiti steklenico pred razbitjem, ohranja tekočino toplo/hladno dlje in omogoča boljši oprijem in enostavno prenašanje (ročaj).   MODA, KI SE PRILAGODI TVOJIM OKUSOM  KORAK 1. IZBERI SVOJO ZAŠČITO ZA STEKLENICO Izrazi se tako, da izbereš svojo najljubšo Mismatch barvno steklenico, na voljo v velikosti 750ml – steklenico, ki bo ustrezala tvojemu razpoloženju in sezonskemu slogu. KORAK 2. IZBERI SVOJO ZAŠČITO - FILC ALI UMETNO USNJE? Pokaži delček svoje osebnosti skozi izbiro ekskluzivnih filc ali umetno usnje zaščit, na voljo v različnih barvnih kombinacijah in priročnem ročaju, ki omogoča trden oprijem in enostavno prenašanje. KORAK 3.

Tvoje telo je odvisno od vode, da živi, deluje in ohranja dobro voljo. Vsaka celica, tkivo in organ v tvojem telesu potrebuje vodo, da pravilno delujejo. Ne glede na to, ali gre za ohranjanje telesne temperature, odstranjevanje odpadkov, tvoje telo uporablja vodo, da razveseli vse tvoje sklepe! . Voda je potrebna za splošno dobro zdravje, zato hidracija ne sme biti spregledana!

Še posebej s svojim popolnim partnerjem za hidracijo :) Spodbujanje mladih, da pijejo, je pomembno, še posebej, ko tečejo skozi šolske hodnike in nastopajo na lekcijah. Morda pozabijo na vodo, a dnevni opomnik jim tega ne bo dovolil.   saj nobena sprememba ni boljša od tiste, ki je narejena za izboljšanje TEBE.
