At first, I was skeptical about avocados in desserts. Now I make cakes, dressings, and even... hand paste with it. Yes, avocados can do more than we think.

From chaos, weeds and an old watering can to a cozy green dream with basil, flowers and wooden signs. The story of how I fell in love with the earth and the sun without even noticing.

I tried myself in both places — in editorial offices, freelancing, at tenders, and in articles "for food." I share my observations without a glossy filter, using a real example from my practice.

With tight laces, nerves, and crooked steps, I entered the hall of my dreams. And quickly realized that it would be a fiasco. But, oddly enough, it taught me something important.

I used to wake up with my phone in my hands and thoughts somewhere between “what to do today” and “where is my coffee savior”. ☕ But over time I realized: morning is not just the beginning of the day. It is the entry point into my life. The way I meet the day shapes everything else: mood, productivity, even self-esteem.

I used to think that boredom was the enemy. That it stole time, motivation, meaning. But then I noticed something strange: it was in those moments when I “do nothing” that the most unexpected ideas were born. 🌱

Magic isn't always about magic wands and flying phrases. Sometimes it's just a hot coffee in silence, the right song in your headphones, or a warm voice saying, "I'm thinking of you." Little things. But for some reason they do more to me than any illusionist's show.

The story of how I accidentally became a gardening fanatic, about mistakes, experiments and an unexpected victory over late blight without a single drop of chemicals. Secret techniques, a personal watering schedule and why talking to tomatoes is no joke.

Ukraine is famous not only for borscht! I have collected ten amazing Ukrainian dishes that few have heard of, but which are definitely worth trying. Among them are old grandma's recipes and finds from gastronomic travels.

Being a dancer is not only about energy and emotions. It is a whole system of nutrition, sleep, stretching and mental attitude. I will tell you how I prepare for an important jazz-funk performance.

For the way he hugs her. For the way she looks at him. For how they manage to be together. Really, not for the frame. Even if it's a movie, my body believes that everything is true.

The one where you're not afraid to be yourself. Where you can just lie down next to someone, bury your nose in their shoulder and not explain why everything has happened today.

Too many "should be like this", "I need someone like this", "don't settle for less". I don't want "less", but these rules are alien to me.

Not just a look of "yeah, she's here," but one that makes you ache inside and makes you want to respond. It seems that such moments are rare, and I increasingly find myself thinking that there is so much superficiality around - people flash by, smile, talk, but no one holds their gaze.

But when I'm alone, both are already kind of boring.

Sometimes at night I can't fall asleep for a long time. Everything becomes quiet, and only thoughts start to sound louder.

If one day you wake up and want to go to the sea - just write to me.

I opened my eyes, and the world was… quiet. No calls, no voices, no obligations. Just the morning light pouring through the curtains, and the smell of coffee that I hadn’t even brewed yet.

One list for myself - so as not to turn into furniture in front of the screen. Tested on laziness and rainy Saturdays.

My little discovery: you don’t need to be a yogi or a guru to live more mindfully. Sometimes, tea and a switched-off phone are enough.
