Sign

Where you’ll find me
Dancing between my computer, my staff mates, my kids and the plants. Kolya Naturals is my baby.

Best health advice I’ve received (and followed)
Walk the middle path. Don’t do anything too extreme and your body will love you for it.

Best beauty advice I’ve received (and followed)
Use only a cleanser and toner at night. I was told that when we use a night cream, our sebaceous glands get lazy. (I will, however use a light moisturizer in the depths of an Edmonton winter, where the air is so, so dry).

Favourite way to nourish my skin from within
Cod Liver Oil & Collagen

Daily mantra
Find your bliss. (Thank you, Joseph Campbell)

My favourites

  1. Helena Lane’s Jojoba and Calendula Cleanser — Can’t, and won’t, live without it.
  2. Beeswax & Fir Absolute — I have never been so taken by scent as I am with these; their aromas are intoxicating.
  3. OptiCalm — sometimes life gets a bit much, and this product soothes any feelings of anxiety and overwhelm I may experience.

Favourite Essential Oil Combination
Grand Fir, Clementine and Cypress

Don’t tell anyone, but…
I love hand-made footwear with unique angles and great soles.

Favourite plant or flower
Moss & Cedar – I know, I know, it’s two, but they often hang out together.
