Motherhood is a journey of transformation and for influencer Sylwia Michalik, also known as @girl_from_town, it’s been a time of self-care, reflection and embracing comfort in every aspect of life. As she prepares to welcome her little one, she’s focusing on mindfulness, relaxation, and finding joy in the simple moments. From soothing self-care rituals to her favourite cozy clothing pieces, Sylwia is redefining pregnancy on her own terms.
What has been the most exciting part of your pregnancy journey so far?
For me, it was definitely the day I found out that I was pregnant. That moment changed my entire mindset and perspective on life by 180 degrees. It was such a surreal, emotional day!
Another incredible milestone was feeling the first proper kicks from my baby—those little movements made everything feel so real. Right now, the most exciting part is preparing myself and my home for the big day. Every detail, from nursery décor to baby essentials, makes me feel even more connected to this journey.
What is the biggest piece of advice you’ve received so far?
I tend to worry about everything, so the best advice I’ve received is to focus on positive thinking. Keeping a positive mindset attracts good energy and outcomes, and I try to remind myself of that every day. Pregnancy is a time of change, and embracing it with optimism makes all the difference.
How do you practice self-care and relaxation during pregnancy?
Self-care and “slow days” have always been important to me, and during pregnancy, I’ve made them an even bigger priority. My go-to relaxation rituals include a nice warm bath or a long shower, a face mask, a good book, and my favourite music.
I’ve always followed a healthy diet, but I’m even more mindful now about eating lots of greens and staying hydrated. And if you’re wondering about cravings - yes, I have them! Ice cream has been my number one craving since day one. Maybe not the healthiest, but definitely necessary!
What are your go-to clothing items for ultimate comfort?
I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of “maternity fashion,” but luckily, I can still wear a lot of my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. Right now, my favourites are linen and silk trousers, soft jumpers, and oversized shirts. When I’m at home, comfort is key and I always reach for my Nudea pieces - their organic cotton underwear and pyjama sets are my absolute essentials.
