- We all observe an age when women communities, circles, gatherings together are reborn. Evelina, what was your life journey to organizing women's gatherings and sharing experiences of nutrition, fragrances, personal knowledge of a healthier and happier life?
This journey started very naturally. Possibly it all started because I was looking for alternatives and answers to different questions related to feeling better about myself. And I'm the kind of person when I am interested in topic, I get "sick" and start to tell and share very passionately about experienced insights. It good to share such discoveries that, as it seems to me, can be useful to others. And naturally I began to attract women with similar interests and thoughts. Well, I won’t hide some selfish motives – such gatherings with women gives the pleasure of just being among warm, interesting, active women. After such meetings, I am always fulfilled, I feel enriched within myself and very grateful.
- Women communion and rituals provide not only a better sense of well-being, but also nourish the senses, and thereby the soul. Food, aromatherapy, linen, what does it all mean to you?
I like the words of one of my teachers: "we live to be happy and feel pleasure". And all the mentioned elements and balance are important. I call it holistic mindset, when all is balanced: food for me must be not only healthy and balanced, but also tasty, clothes must not only be beautiful, but necessarily comfortable, because they touch my skin and if I feel discomfort, then irritability increases, my mood deteriorates and etc. During one of my trainings, I give the following task to the participants: to do a closet revision and leave only those clothes with which they feel 100% comfortable, look beautiful to themselves. No compromises.
- Name you TOP 3 food, smell, touch (when it comes to clothes) element this summer? And why exactly these elements are your TOP favorites this summer?
First what comes to my mind are related to freshness and lightness. These would be light salads and seafood, cold berries, peppermint essential oil, which perfectly cools and clears the mind, and light textures in which the body "smells". I have always unreasonably avoided linen because I thought it was rough, biting and impractical because it wrinkle a lot. However, when last summer, on a similar hot August day, I met Grand Duchess "ICONIC" - it was breathtaking! How often do we create limiting attitudes for ourselves. Linen has already taken up residence in my closet this year.
- In the morning, breakfast and a workshop on nutrition, during the day - a bachelorette party and home fragrances creating event. In the photos we can see that you are wearing the "Grand Duchess" linen shirt-dress "Iconic" - why did you choose this particular linen dress for such an important events?
For me it was simple choice, because wearing "ICONIC" I feel beautiful, stylish and tolerate the heat more easily, because otherwise such hot weather is a big challenge for me. And that day I managed to overcome it perfectly.
- Evelina, how much is spontaneity, and how much is sustainability and careful, thoughtful choice when you are looking for food for your family, when you are choosing fragrances and clothes for yourself and your child?
I always try to conscious choices in pursuit of the best possible options. But balance is important as well for me, so you can spontaneously order pizza for your family, buy clothes simply because you like it or buy a perfume you like in mass market. I prefer to have balance in decisions.
- What would you like to say to @Grand.Duchess.World WOMEN ? Maybe what to inspire them based on your personal experience as a coach?
Always choose yourself! We are very used to placing priorities around others: family, work, and what remains- for ourselves. I want to remind you that you are the main person in your life, there is no narcissism or egoism here. Love and peace with yourself, so I wish you to choose the best of all possible options and enjoy.
