HOW TO NOT WASTE MONEY ON MATERNITY CLOTHES

I really needed some new clothes as my belly was growing and our holidays in Mallorca in  Cala d'or were about to start soon. I didn't want to spend too much money on maternity clothes but I really wanted some fresh, new, summery clothes to wear after a long winter period. I had been wearing the same old jeans and blouse combo already way too long during my pregnancy time. Solution was a flea market, the best one I know in Finland for ladies-wear is Siivouspäivä flea market http://siivouspaiva.com/en/everyday and the best spot is in Kallio in Karhupuisto. Below few of my travel outfits that I spent only few euros to get from the flea market. Besides that I really liked a lot these clothes and how economic it was to get them, I find it wonderful that it is possible to be so ecological as I will sell them next time to some future mums to be or to some ladies that want to buy bigger size clothes to wear.    


 This t-shirt was nice to wear during the evening with a long skirt that I also bought from the flea market for few euros. I also liked to wear this shirt at the beach with my bikini and shorts during the day.


This orange dress is from Zara and I bought it for 3 euros from the flea market. It is made of a very nice stretching fabric, I love the bright color of it and I was wearing it already before our holiday trip in a yearly World Village Festival www.maailmakylassa.fi/english/home that is organized in Helsinki in Kaisaniemi Park at the end of the May. The festival is all about multiculturalism and it is open to all. It is a meeting place that is offering different tastes and music of different cultures.The festival has been organized since 1995. 


This nice piece that I am using as a dress and a shirt with jeans or tights is from Allsaints and I got it also for few euros from the flea market. Besides that the dress is made of a very stretching fabric and it still fits me very well during my 9th month of pregnancy. I think that it will be a perfect nursing shirt as it is a one shoulder dress. This picture is taken in a beautiful Valdemossa village that is located in the hills of the Tramuntana range, about 17 km from Palma.


This tube dress from the flea market cost me one euro and it was perfect during the hot summer days in Mallorca. In the picture we where having a little break to get to know one of the beautiful Calas of the island as we did a boat trip that took us from one bay to another. The trip started from Cala d'or that had a lovely beach of white sand and turquoise water to swim in.

                        Hola a todos! This is the second part of our holidays in Canary Islands. Again I will let the pictures speak their language. It was just amazing to be able to escape the winter in Finland to these beautiful islands for 5 weeks full of sunshine and warmth. I loved to practice yoga by the swimming-pool of our bungalow.    Parivrtta Trikonasana  My favorite part of the breakfast was freshly squeezed orange juice  We stayed one week in these bungalows behind me. It was wonderful to have a little garden of our own and the swimming-pool in our use.  Hugging trees at Puerto Rico, we went there to spend a day at the beach. Me and our baby at the dunes - she had her nap in her Manduca baby carrier while I had a nice walk along the shore.   It seemed as we were in Sahara desert at the dunes.

SUNNY DAYS AND YOGA AT CANARY ISLANDS PART I

Saludos desde las Islas Canarias! Greetings to everyone from the Canary Islands! In this post I let the pictures speak for themselves. It has been wonderful to escape the winter in Finland to these beautiful islands with my family. First we stayed in Las Palmas, close to the Playa de las Canteras. The North end of the beach Playa de las Canteras was for surfers. There was nice, relaxed athmosphere at that end of the beach and some cool restaurants to have some tapas and coffee.  The weather there was a bit cloudy during few days of our one week stay in Las Palmas.   So we went to Maspalomas beach at the south of the island and the weather there was so warm and sunny. It felt great to do my yoga practice at the beach. One day we went to see the old town of Las Palmas. One day we spent in sunny Puerto Rico at the swimming pool where my cousin was staying with her family. We went to Puerto de Mogan for late lunch, that was a lovely and peaceful sm
