"When I was pregnant I was depressed for the first 20 weeks. But when Sev was born there was so much emotion, it was like a drug in my body and there was so much love! He was my biggest gift!"
Influencer, mother of three & lover of all things sustainable; Ajgul Agayeva opens up about her struggle with depression, her deepest values and the gift of children.
I a mum of three. Three boys. Twins: Eshgin & Lenn and my littlest one Sev, is 5 months old. I love to learn more about sustainability. Our whole household is vegetarian and so that is a good thing to start with, in my opinion.
With my first pregnancy I didn’t want to use a lot of products because I thought “They aren't clean. Are they going to be good for my babies?” so that is where my journey started, to look for healthier & greener products during my pregnancy for my skin but also my toothbrush, toothpaste, clean eating and.....alot of McDonalds fries! Haaa pregnancy craving!
My first pregnancy was very hard. And my second one was also not that good as it was quite unexpected. I was like 'Oh my gosh how am I going to do it? Three children under the age of 3 years old. That is alot!' But having Sev, my third child, helped me recover from the trauma of the first pregnancy. Love really does conquer all!
"I would describe myself as kind, chaotic, enthusiastic, outgoing, honest, loyal....if you are really a friend or family I will do ANYTHING for you."
I would love to live in another European country. Well I would actually love to live in Bali but its too far away from my family and I do’t want that so Spain or Italy or somewhere warm would be great. And I would love to make a trip around the world in a camper, have a big adventure with my family.
"I hope to teach my children to be kind, be loving. But also take good care of yourself. You have to live with yourself all of the time so be kind to yourself and love yourself more. Be outgoing. Enjoy the world. Enjoy friends & family. Family is my number 1 value in life."
I think the first product I bought at Nourished was actually something for my babies. They are now 3 years old. I bought the Vapour Rub Baby from {SIMPLE as that}. Someone gave me the tip to look at your website and I was 'Oh my gosh! There is something like clean makeup, clean foundation!' It was the first time I realised that there were clean options for most of the things I was using on a daily basis.
"I realised that the clean products worked even better because I used to get pimples when I wore foundation and now, with the Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation, I don’t get them anymore."
Ajgul's favourite Nourished products:
+ Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation
+ Ere Perez Carrot Colour Pot
+ {SIMPLE as that} Baby Vapour Rub
