FAQ

“Liv Delicious”? Helena, do you know how to spell the word “live”?
Now I do!

Once upon a time, I didn’t.
I was even afraid to speak (or write) English.

But I did it! I got over my fears – and now “Liv Delicious” is proof that you can have a great life, too – even if you are not perfect.

The word “LIV” has much deeper meaning for me. It is a tribute to overcoming phobia of speaking English and a memory to how brave and willing I was to address what was under that.

What does it mean to Liv a Delicious life?
It means designing the life that you love. The life that you are excited about and truly, genuinely loving the person you see in the mirror.
