fomo: December






The hardest lesson I have learned this year is never stop working to improve your happiness. Your happiness needs to be maintained. Try to put yourself first. Do what makes you happy. You have choices. Never make the best ones for others, make the best choices for yourself. And remember taking care of yourself is NOT selfish, it is self-care.

A New Fashion Hub? Eastern Europe The title of this article should probably end with an exclamation mark and me jumping as high as Gregor Schlierenzauer does during his rehab. For real, it makes me feel so proud to see so many talented people from Eastern Europe succeed globally and to crown it all, the New York Times article mentions Magda Butrym, our national fashion treasure appreciated by celebrities and it-girls alike. And even though Elizabeth Paton doesn't mention some other recently successful Polish brands, I can honestly tell you that Le Petit Trou on Net-a-Porter is also made in Poland just like Reserved, which recently opened their first store in London. So, if you were looking for the next getaway destination, Eastern Europe might be the place to be. PS: we also have delicious food (think kopytka, bigos, pierogi and zapiekanki) and drinks (remember to drink responsibly though). 

This is why the Queen never needs a passport One of the things you probably never think about is whether Her Majesty needs a passport or not. Spoiler alert from the title: she does not. And the answer to the w-question is even more obvious. Anyway, if you already knew all of this, click anyway, there's one gif at the end you migh want to see. No need to thank me.

The Baha'i Gardens seen from above Since it's winterish here in Eastern Europe and we still gotta wait for the trees and flowers to bloom, here's a short movie Eyal Asaf showing one of the most magical places I've ever seen. If you like Eyal's work, here's page with many more breathtaking shots.

30 Days of Good Deeds with Damsel One of the blogs I've been following for quite a while now, did a sort of 30 days of good intentions not so long ago. I saw it on her Insta Stories but lately I've managed to find the blogpost telling more about the whole idea and also sharing ideas on how to be a better human by helping other and just being nice to them. Worth trying anytime during the festive season! 

6 Brain-Boosting Activities to Add to Your Day The so called 'brain hygiene' hadn't been something I was familiar with until some time ago. During one of the hectic Facebook conversations I had with one of my friends, the term suddenly popped up and that's how it landed in my personal dictionary of phrases to use more often. Leaving hygge and lagom aside, the brain is something to take care of no matter what's trending on instagram. Here, a few Vogue approved excersises to get even smarter. Your future self is surely gonna thank you for those few minutes during the day.

Atelier DorĂ© in Marrakech With Marrakech being lately  one of the hottest blogger destinations and following Garance's team retreat in this Morrocan town, the famous illustrator launched a special collection in her online shop. I'm head over heels in love with the Marrakech poster (and the babouche of course!) and also the overall yellow aesthetics. Pretty nice gift idea and also a nice addition to your little private wall gallery.

What British People Say, Versus What They Mean Just to put an end to the festive kindness. On a different note, this may also serve as a users manual while having any encounter with my little existence.
