As you may or may not have heard - there have been some exciting things going on in the Kosterina home. We were lucky enough to grow our family in more ways than one this year: I gave birth to a happy, healthy little boy, Tommy, this summer; our best-selling EVOO is finally back in stock; and we have some very exciting new Kosterina projects that we can't wait to share with you! Stay tuned on our Instagram @kosterinaoliveoil for a sneak peek.
We’re also reviving our Weekly Wellness Roundup – for wellness news from around the web. In this newsletter we’ll also share what we’re reading, what we’re listening to, what we’re eating, products and experiences we love and new things we’re trying all in the name of health and high performance – from nutrition, beauty and fitness to mindfulness, sleep and longevity.
And P.S. My favorite quote right now is from Dr. Steve Gundry: "The main purpose of food is to get olive oil into your mouth." Dr. Gundry is medical researcher, heart surgeon + best-selling author whose research states that not all plant foods are good for us. Read more about his theory here.

This time of year, there's always a lot of pressure to implement quick-fixes around our health to reach certain goals. But, my purpose in starting Kosterina was always to help more people create accessible, healthy habits for themselves and their families over the long-term.
Happy New Year! Or "Kali Chronia" as we say in Greek, which literally translates to "good year". We all need some good wishes to enter 2021 on a new foot.
We've been spending more time at home than ever this year because of the pandemic, and because of that many of us have been engaging in old pastimes like playing board games or even making crafts. But, none of those activities beat how much we've been experimenting with cooking at home over the past 8 months.
