Quick Mini Bio


Hi Everyone,

My name is Anastasiya Koroleva (aka Wells). I am recently married, just under 6 month, and haven't gotten the chance to change my last name yet (it’s a complicated process). This is my first time ever blogging. Never in my life read a blog or written one. I do love to write on my facebook page and I actually thought of starting a blog before, just never got to it. I assume this is where my blogging career begins, ready, set, go. I know for sure it’s hard to summarize my life into just few paragraph but I am going to try.

My major is Dietetics. The reason I chose to go into this field is because my husband is type one Diabetic and I have always been health conscious. I grew up part of my life in Russia, my birth place, eating fresh from the garden. Then here in America most food is processed which makes me want to educated families and their children to make better health choices when it comes to food. I want to work in the field with children in order to establish a lifelong goal of nutrition. Many kids in today's generation are not educated by their families on proper eating which then leads into obesity, heart disease, diabetes and so on. In order to be successful in life long nutrition, one needs to learn from the beginning. This is my plan in health, to prevent different diseases and cancers. One of my hobbies of course is obsession with cooking. I can cook all day long. I also love going thrift shopping with my husband and just being with him in his company. I am in this class I would say by a mistake of misunderstanding, but I don’t believe in mistakes. I believe there is a purpose for everything including me being in this class. I really hope to share some of my struggles as woman and to share my testimony of overcoming them. I can't wait to learn more about women's health and apply it to my own life as well. I am sure there are still a lot of things as a woman I yet to learn about my own body.
Here my unique testimony. As I mentioned earlier I am recently married, and oh boy it’s been one amazing journey so far. I came from a broken home with no father and seen my mother struggle relationship to relationship while working 2 to 3 jobs a time trying to raise my brother and I. All that occurred in Russia where I was born. Then my mother met my step-dad online and that is how we all ended up here in America. All my mother's struggles reflected on me. Once I started dating, I bounced relationship to relationship. I was determined that no man will ever hurt me because I will always out run them by beating them to that first step. I was determined to never get married because marriage to me was nothing but pain, struggle and that love was only in movies that could never be true. I never realized how broken I really was and how blinded I was with my own desires. The night when I meat, now my husband, was a true movie where the world paused so that he and I could collide. The works not of our own but all predestined by the Lord's calling. I was faithless and ungodly woman who called herself feminist where no man can tell me what to do. I now laugh at that idea. I was blessed with a Godly man only 6 month of dating,  we were engaged, and married at 9 month. We as women believe so many lies of this world while the truth says "Trust in the Lord with all thine hearts; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, he shall direct thy path." Proverbs 3:5-6.

  1. Hello Anastasiya ,

    I feel sorry to hear your family story, but I believe that you are worth having a better family with your husband than your mom's. We will never know what will happen tomorrow and love brings something that we have never expected. Goodluck to you and your husband!

  3. I LOVE your blog so far! Beautiful photos and beautiful writing. I totally agree with you that things happen for a reason (like you being in this class.) I also agree that Americans have outrageous diets that need to be controlled. How wonderful would it be for everyone to be able to eat from the garden.
    I am so happy that you have found a Godly man and wish you both many years of happiness!
    Looking forward to reading more of your post.

  4. Your pictures are beautiful!! I think it is great that your husband has inspired you to learn more about nutrition because of his diabetes. My dad was just diagnosed with type 2 last year. I have a lovely friend who is from Russia also. She is always cooking very unique foods. Have you ever had meat jello? She said it was Russian comfort food, but I was to scared to try it!! Maybe next time. Good luck in your classes!

  5. I loved reading this! It is very heart warming to see a part of who you are. Firstly, I appreciate that you grew up consuming natural foods. I am a hardcore advocate for natural/organic foods. That is one of the things I absolutely hate about this country sometimes...processed foods..ugh! I totally endorse what you are saying and I think it is absolutely brilliant that you wish to educate children on the matter. My grandparent are rural farmers from the Czech Republic, so my family eats a lot of homegrown foods. Also, you are a very strong person! Best of luck to you!
