I Will Preserve a Part of You: Katya Klubenko’s Anthem of Resilience and Love On September 28, singer and songwriter Katya Klubenko released the video for her song “Збережу частину тебе” (“I Will Preserve a Part of You”). For her, it is more than music — it is a reflection on motherhood, migration, and the courage to choose life even after loss. Katya’s path has taken her across many countries — Ukraine, Russia, the Emirates, Georgia, Canada, and Cyprus. Each move took away the familiar ground beneath her feet but gave her the chance to rebuild. “Emigration taught me to let go of what was left behind, but to keep the light within. That fragile light became my compass — it never fades,” she says. Motherhood became the most powerful turning point. “When my daughter was born, I realized there was a strength in me I had never known before. It is for her future that I want to sing and speak about wisdom, love, and resilience,” Katya shares. The video’s heroes are not just characters on ...

My Clean Beauty Must-haves My clean beauty must-haves: gentle, effective products like Oliveda, OneSkin, and more that nourish skin without harsh ingredients. Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I’m off to a yoga class and looking forward to family dinner later tonight. For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about clean beauty and share my absolute go-tos. Why I Switched to Clean Beauty As an Integrative Health Practitioner , I spend a lot of time helping women lower their toxin exposure through food and lifestyle. While I’ve been cautious about the foods I eat and we purchase for decades now, I didn’t start paying attention to what I was putting on my skin until I was pregnant with Liv. Our skin is our largest organ, and many conventional products contain harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrance, and endocrine disruptors that can build up over time. Choosing clean beauty products means fewer questionable ingredients, more plant-based actives, and ofte...

(Especially when groceries are a billion dollars.)
