The Story Behind This Website

The idea of creating this website was born when I decided to transfer my handwritten notes into digital form. My old notebook could no longer survive the endless passing from hand to hand. That’s when all my friends said the same thing: “The world must see this!” — and so, my website was born.

At the same time, I found myself full of thoughts and ideas, which naturally settled into the Mind & Life section. I’m still working on improving everything — so please, don’t judge me too harshly. 😊

Later on, a new idea took shape. My close friends jokingly called me the “Children’s Rescue Service” because I often became the go-to person for advice — especially when it came to health questions or life’s little emergencies. Life had its own plans for me: I spent quite a lot of time in hospitals myself, and later, running around with my daughter from doctor to doctor. During this journey, I collected many useful contacts and bits of wisdom.

This experience inspired me to create a space where people could exchange advice, support one another, and simply share stories that might help someone else navigate a tough moment. This is what the Health & Beauty section is all about — a place for shared experiences and real-life knowledge.

And now — the tastiest part! Food has always been a warm and essential topic in every home. Every now and then, we all want to treat ourselves to something new, delicious, and simple. That’s how the idea for the Simple Recipes section was born — a cozy collection of the best easy-to-make dishes.

By the way, this part of the story started when I spent 1.5 months in the hospital before giving birth. Each time a new girl joined my room, we would exchange our signature recipes. Eventually, our little group ate almost exclusively “top dishes” — and I wish you the same culinary luck!

Another piece of my heart belongs to growing things. Whether you have a backyard, a small garden, or just a single flower pot, many of us eventually discover how amazing it feels to grow something with your own hands. I caught this gardening “fever” too — and now I share the most inspiring tips and ideas in the Home & Garden section.

No matter what you’re searching for — a little inspiration, useful advice, cozy recipes, or gardening joy — you’re always welcome here. And when you feel like exploring and dreaming, don’t forget about Nature & Travel, Interesting Facts, and, of course, Music.


upd2025: A New Chapter of Life

Life doesn’t always follow our plans… and this is something I’ve learned the hard way. In 2022, war came to Ukraine — my home. I still remember the morning when the air raid sirens first broke the silence. From that day, life was divided into “before” and “after.”

One day, a rocket hit our house. It’s still hard to describe the emotions of that moment — the shock, the fear, the disbelief. By some miracle, we survived. But survival came with a heavy price: we had to leave everything behind, pack what little we could, and start over in search of safety and a new life.

Starting over meant learning to survive all over again. New places, new faces, new language. One of the hardest and most important steps was learning English. Mistakes, slow progress — but always moving forward. That’s why this website is now written in English. So, if you find some awkward phrases or imperfect sentences, I hope you’ll read them with kindness and understanding.

One thing I know for sure: as long as you are alive, you can keep going. And through this website, I continue sharing pieces of my world — the old one and the new one. I’m happy you are here.
