Just One Thing
At Omorovicza, we believe that wellness goes beyond its traditional notions. To us, wellness can also mean stimulating your mind, taking care of your mental health and experiencing or learning new things. Success is a journey, not a destination, and unlocking beauty can happen in many ways.
To celebrate Wellness Month this August, we asked our team about their “Just One Thing” - the one thing they do to brighten their day, calm their mind or simply find joy and beauty in the everyday – because sometimes, it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Just One Change is all about embracing small, intentional actions that can lead to significant improvements in our overall wellbeing.

Omorovicza Co-Founder
What is the one thing you do to calm your mind?
“Meditation. It’s something you can do anytime, anywhere to calm your mind.”
What is the one thing you do when you need a boost of confidence?
“Exercising never fails to improve my mood and confidence.”
What is the one recipe you go to that never fails to delight?
"I am a big believer in something I call ‘realistic wellness. Being a busy mother of four children still in the house, I have never been one to turn down a chocolate chip cookie - but at the same time, feel my energy depleted when I eat too much heavy food - so it’s about finding a realistic balance. These days, my go to healthy lunch recipe is a cold cucumber soup and a cobb salad. The soup on the lighter side as it uses yoghurt, and the tarragon gives it an unexpected, delicious kick. I also love that I can make a lot of this and keep it in the refrigerator.”
What is the one wellness goal you're currently working towards, and what steps are you taking to achieve it?
“I am trying to exercise every day. When I have time (and ambition) I go for a run or play some tennis. If I am short on time (and ambition) I will simply do a seven-minute workout. Even just doing something for a few minutes puts my mind in a good spot to take on the day.”
If you were going to give a friend just one Omorovicza product – which one would it be and why?
“I always give friends our Rejuvenating Night Cream. It is amazing.”

What is the one thing you do to calm your mind?
"For me calming the mind is like preparing a canvas for creation, immersing myself in the process of drawing or painting without a specific goal in mind. Letting my hands move freely, allowing colours and shapes to flow."
What is the one thing you do when you need a boost of confidence?
"I revisit my past work, especially the pieces I'm particularly proud of. It’s like reconnecting with the essence of what I’m capable of creating. Seeing the journey of how a blank page transformed into something meaningful reminds me of my creation power. It’s a way of telling myself, “You’ve done this before, and you can do it again.”
What is the one recipe you go to that never fails to delight?
"My delight for the soul - I love taking time for myself and getting lost in art exhibitions around the city. Whether it’s admiring the timeless masterpieces of old artists or exploring the innovative works of new talents. These experiences never fail to inspire and uplift me, offering a fresh perspective and a sense of wonder every time."
What is the one wellness goal you're currently working towards, and what steps are you taking to achieve it?
"My current wellness goal is to cultivate a deeper connection between mind and body through movement. I’m approaching it like a creative piece, where each day is an opportunity to explore and express. I’ve been integrating practices like yoga and music, where I can move intuitively and let my body guide me."
"I also keep a wellness journal, sketching out how I feel before and after each session. I’ve committed to making this ritual a non-negotiable part of my day. It’s a blend of art and selfcare that fuels both my well-being and my creativity."
If you were going to give a friend just one Omorovicza product – which one would it be and why?
"The Miracle Facial Oil, without a doubt. I love a bougie facial oil, and the Omorovicza Miracle Facial Oil is my latest indulgence. Living in a city, my skin is constantly exposed to environmental stressors, and this oil is a game-changer. It gives my skin that radiant, hydrated glow, making it feel soft and pampered. If I had to pick one product to share, this would be it—luxury in a bottle!"

What is the one thing you do to calm your mind?
“I struggle to relax, so have created a bit of an evening ritual to calm all my senses. I light a scented candle, put on soothing lighting, drink some lavender tea, have a nourishing snack and watch or listen to something comforting every night.”
What is the one recipe you go to that never fails to delight?
"Ratatouille! My grandma taught me to make it when I was little and it’s such a great heartwarming, comfort meal. I serve it with some goat’s cheese or as a really popular side for literally any dinner party. Plus, it's great for vegetarians and vegans too."
What is the one wellness goal you're currently working towards, and what steps are you taking to achieve it?
"I’m trying to read more, so I’ve given my headphones a rest on the commute. Instead, I'm finally reading some of the books that have been recommended to me."
If you were going to give a friend just one Omorovicza product – which one would it be and why?
"I have given all my close friends a Queen of Hungary Mist, as they were always asking me about my magic mist! I also love to gift treatments, so Copper Peel is my go to. It’s great for an at-home facial and feels like a real treat. You see a difference straight away and get so many uses from it."
