Here are my very favourite products, tools, things basically everything I find helped my life to improve or add a value. As one of my core values is conscious living the products I recommend are eco friendly, vegan and clean. All recommendation on this page are directly tested and loved by myself and I hope they’ll bring you so much happiness as they provided to me.
Beauty
As probalby every woman I love to pemper myself as well. My journey with beauty products such as cosmetics and skincare or hair care was a fight and to be host a step in the unknown every time when I battled my way to find the right products for me. The right products not only for my benefits but also for creating as least negative impact on the environment.
For a long time I didn’t see a reason in using green, vegan and sustainable products because i feel like for most of my life they’ve been presented as “not that useful”. Not that good, with plain package, natural colors. And frankly that’s what I didnt like, I picked my favourites by judging the cover.
Well after I shift my mindset and step by step moved to all natural products I don’t ever see coming back because, believe it or not my old self, it actually makes miracles. My skin, hair, nails, my whole body now benefits from natural ingredients and looks more radiant than ever.
Nails
After experiencing severe damage to my nails from acrylic and fake nails, I swore off artificial nails for good. However, I still longed for stunning nails, something I’ve struggled to achieve my entire life.
My nails are naturally very thin, prone to breakage and fraying. Regular nail polish simply wasn’t enough to protect them. I needed a stronger solution that would provide extra hardness and allow my nails to grow a bit longer.
Ladies, if you suffer from thin nails, I’ve found a miracle solution: Manucurist.
I use a UV lamp and the Green Flash LED from Manucurist. Even on super thin nails, this method gives you at least a week of beautiful nails.
Not only are these polishes vegan and composed of up to 84% plant-based ingredients, but they also come in an array of stunning colors that will make your nails pop.
This approach has been a game-changer for me, offering the strength and durability I need without the damage of artificial nails. If you’ve been struggling with weak nails, give Manucurist a try – you might be pleasantly surprised by the results!
Skin Care
For years, I neglected my skin. It was okay – occasional breakouts, slightly oily T-zone, but nothing dramatic. Then one day, I looked in the mirror and realized my skin was missing that healthy glow. I decided it was time for a change.
The world of skincare can be overwhelming. With so many products available, it’s hard to know what’s best for you. After years of experimentation, I made a crucial decision: I wanted the products absorbing into my body to be organic and natural.
I was skeptical at first. How could natural products match or outperform the ones I’d used before? But I took the plunge, and the results amazed me. The difference in my skin was visible, and establishing a daily routine ensured consistent results.
While I tried various brands, one stood out: Antipodes. This clean beauty brand from New Zealand captured my heart. Having visited New Zealand, I knew the pure, wild nature of the country couldn’t produce anything but goodness.
My motivation to try Antipodes came from this realization: a brand from such a pristine environment must be exceptional.
I wasn’t disappointed. While I’ve tried many of their products, my absolute favorites are:
1. Glow Vitamin C Brightening Serum 30ml – this makes you shine, literally
2. Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream 60ml – fix your breakouts overnight and gives you so much hydration but the formula is super light
3. Kiwi Seed Gold Luminous Eye Cream 30ml – say bye bye to dark circles
These products have transformed my skincare routine, proving that natural and organic skincare can deliver impressive results. If you’re looking to make the switch to clean beauty, Antipodes might just be the brand for you.

Books
Reading is my passion, and for good reason. There’s an endless wealth of knowledge to absorb, not just to become smarter, but to grow wiser. Countless books have shaped my beliefs and life in ways I can hardly describe.
I enjoy various formats:
1. Paperback books – There’s something special about holding a physical book. It’s the simplest and most basic way to read.
2. Audiobooks – Perfect for multitasking or when I’m on the go. They offer an intimate experience, especially when narrated by the author, providing extra insight through tone and emphasis.
3. E-books – Convenient for reading anytime, anywhere on my phone.
I discover new books through a combination of recommendations from influential people, exploration of my personal interests, and browsing bestsellers in the personal development genre.
This personal connection to literature is what makes reading such a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery. Every book offers a unique perspective, potentially changing how we view the world and ourselves.
My absolute favorites are either books I read once that took my breath away or books I’ve read multiple times:
You Are a Badass at Making Money and You Are a Badass Every Day– Jen Sincero
How Are You, Really – Jenna Kutcher
Atomic Habits – James Clear
Creative Visualization – Shakti Gawain
Be Useful – Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Myth of Normal – Gabor Mate
The ONE Thing – Gary Keller
8 Rules of Love – Jay Shetty
Worthy – Jamie Kern Lima
I’ll update the list once I go through more treasure books for you.
As of the end of 2024, I can confidently say that the best book I’ve read or listened to is
“The Source” by Tara Swart
This book is a fantastic addition to the personal development field, as it explores the law of attraction, manifestation, visualization, and more from a neuroscience perspective, providing scientific support for these concepts. If you’re still skeptical about the power to create your own destiny, this is a must-read.

Fashion
As my journey with sustainability and zero waste progresses, I’ve started thinking more about the impact of the fashion industry on the planet.
We all know there are countless brands that don’t follow ethical practices—exploiting underpaid workers, causing water and air pollution, and operating in unsustainable ways. By producing cheaper, fast, mass-produced items made from artificial fibers, these brands encourage people to buy more and more, only for the products to last a short period before they lose their quality.
I won’t lie—I used to be one of those people. I love fashion, and I’ve always enjoyed being able to express myself through it. But back then, I didn’t think about the bigger picture—I only cared about how much it would cost me.
Now, I know better. I’ve changed my approach to buying less, focusing on items I know are made ethically, from natural materials, and by companies that follow practices designed to care for the planet as much as possible.Here ae some of my favourite brands so far:
SKFK
SKFK is a sustainable fashion brand from the Basque Country that I absolutely love!
They focus on creating eco-friendly clothing with a timeless, innovative, and ethical approach. Their contemporary and minimalist designs align perfectly with their commitment to slow fashion, using organic and recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.

LANIUS
Lanius is an incredible sustainable fashion brand that I absolutely love!
They combine timeless designs with eco-friendly materials, making their pieces both stylish and conscious. My absolute favorite from them has to be their flared jeans—they are the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn! It’s like slipping into a pair of sweatpants but with the perfect flattering fit and effortless style. Their commitment to sustainability and high-quality craftsmanship makes every piece feel even more special.
