Today Jolita is sharing her secrets and everyday rituals on how she maintains her exotic beauty and what it is to be called “sei brillante” by the modern world.
ū: What has recently ignited your inspiration?
Jolita: My inspiration is everywhere, every day from the small things around me in my daily life. My girls inspire me! For example, from the moment I became a mom the colour black left my wardrobe almost entirely. But what has strongly inspired me most recently is Para-Olympic athletes. It’s amazing to see their attitude: “If it seems impossible, it means you can do it”.
ū: As a gymnast and a World Championship medallist, you were always living with the idea of Perfection – the perfect movement, the perfect performance, the perfect body… Isn’t it difficult to be always perfect?
Jolita: Let’s talk about real life. My gymnastics career ended almost 13 years ago when I was 18.
