I yelled “FUUUUUCCCCCKKKK” around 75838 times this year

Another year around the sun is nearly completed. A my oh my what a year it’s been. I managed to turn my life 180 degrees and I don’t think I’ve been ever happier. Leaving 9 to 5 to find myself was the best decision ever. And even though I cry the same amount, I said that and I will say that again, I have zero regrets.

Well technically I live with no regrets whatsoever, but I’m sure you get the gist.

A few years back I started to give each year a theme, not sure if that was before or after TikTok trends, but that was something that personally helped me to stay on track and breakdown my goals for the entire 12 months. Last year’s theme was Matrix Renaissance. And I kid you now, I was damn for sure reborn and took sometimes scary and unpredictable route.

I have changed the careers and industries, changed the flats (in London that is another type of a struggle iykyk), found new friends, quit alcohol and dating, came up with an awesome ideas to help women rediscover their inner confidence and train that tool like a muscle, and attended London Fashion week for the first time. Oh, and yelled “FUUUUUCCCCCKKKK” around 75838 times with different intonation depending on the situation.

I have learned a lot of lessons this year and definitely ready to sit down and relax for a bit (and by relax I mean keep moving forward with my 16 projects at the same time, but without any tragedies in a form of broken laptops and whipped off books). Hence why the next year of mine around the sun is going to be focused on the Magic.

If I had to choose one favourite moment from the past year, I would choose three. Because I am an adult with free will.

1. Creating Hot Mama Bakery.

2. Seeing Lewis racing in Barcelona at F1.

3. Hugging my family (awwww).

And witnessing the greatest diss track in our lifetime.

With that being said, I highly encourage you to be as whitty as Kendrick and if you are currently feeling stuck — open your wardrobe and get rib of old stuff that is holding you back.

Because, what they say is true, in order to have something new in your life, you have to kill what’s holding you back. Even if that is an old version of yourself. I personally got rid of 4 my personalities, or best to put it in my old tech language, I implemented an integration between them all to have all the qualities I need to keep in one place. The rest was left in the old version. Because one you thing you should never do is settle for less or bare fucking minimum. Not with all the rights that we have. Including your style (you see what I did there). Exactly why I wanted you to start with your wardrobe.

And I know that doing it alone can be and actually is scary. As indecisive person myself, I struggle to make small decisions regarding things like my clothes. However, the decluttering will have a huge impact on your brain chemistry. And you just like me and many many others need some help — Hot Mama Bakery is where you can find those like-minded people in a form of a community. Stylish, fun, and supportive chit-chats. This and so much more is included (great finds and ready-to-wear ideas too).

And if you need some type of white noice while you do take a few hours of your time to cleanse your wardrobe, Bad Bunny not so new album will for sure get you giddy abut the whole process.

Fashion Tip: If you haven’t worn this or that item in the past year — get rid of it. And once you do all the adjustments — make sure to hang every item that you have by categories (top/shirts/jackets/skirts/trousers/jeans/etc.). That way you will find it easier to keep everything in front of your eyes daily, and practice rotation. You’d be surprised how many outfits you can put together with a minimum wardrobe.

Take a note from the latest collection of DEMN22 that easily combined office looks and leather in an urban and dynamic ways. One cut leather trousers are my must.

And I am sure after all this hard work (and I mean it is going to be not an easy job to do) you would need to sit back and relax, You can either get obsessed just like me with Wily or watch another latest obsession of mine Beauty in Black by Tyler Perry. Exquisite imo.

On that note I will leave you all to it. Don’t worry, I am not leaving like Donatella did, just till the next week. And if you fancy to join HMB FREE chat for some fun and fashion — click here.

That’s all.

Okay, love you, bye xo

Your slightly nonchalant and reborn fashion stylist,
