"To fully enjoy and experience life you must be present. Create (What you want to exist), Live (Like its your last day), Laugh (Until your tummy hurts), and Love (To the Fullest) and Everything else will fall into place" - Maria Kuna

Maria Kuna is a busy mom of 4 kids, who is ambitious and hard working. Maria has created Mariadiy.com to build a DIY community for women that enjoy to create, craft, DIY, and save money while living their best life.

Maria believes that if you can just do something every day as a step towards your dreams that anything can come happen! She went to art school at the age of 5 and ever since then she has had a creative edge.
When she was young; her mother taught her the art of natural medicine, and beauty which was passed down from generation to generation and has contributed to her knowledge in Homeopathy and Natural DIY Recipes.

When it was time to go to post secondary, Maria decided to take on an entrepreneurship angle for her career, and graduated with honors from Business School and specialized in Marketing. Ten years after post secondary she advised businesses in their development, and invested herself in a variety of business industries and even sold some successfully.

Once Maria settled down and had children of her own, she entered into a holistic world where she began practicing yoga and ayurvedic medicine to care for her family. This is where spirituality grew and opened a whole new world of mindfulness and positive beliefs which she practices daily.

Maria decided to expand her creative side even more by taking a Home Décor Course to assist in knowledge of décor and give her a solid foundation to help decorate her own home with a professional touch.

For over 15 years she has been making her own décor, working with wood, painting, shopping at dollar tree and other dollar stores and making crafts for less.  Thrift flipping has become a hobby to showcase beautiful and unique pieces that are her own.

During most of her life she has been making natural recipes for beauty and health which has become a way of life, and has noted how important it is for overall vitality as there are so many additives that are present in our daily lives causing avoidable sicknesses.

On her free time she loves to travel, paint, rollerblade, spend time with her family in nature, practice yoga, write, and read books.

Today Maria's passion has grown into her YouTube Channel: "Maria Kuna DIY" where she shares her knowledge in Home Décor, DIY Tutorials, Natural DIY Recipes, Organization, Lifestyle Hacks and Tricks.

Maria believes that living life mindfully, and naturally while having fun is the ultimate place of being. "We are all so capable and amazing humans and we should all enjoy all that life has to offer!" Making custom things to make you and your life Fabulous for Less is DO-ABLE by anyone, and leaving less of a carbon footprint is our responsibility - so if we all re-use or re-purpose something that can be given a second life.. then we should.
