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.

Why to use coconut during the hot summer months?

I absolutely love coconuts and summer is the time when I can feel best the many benefits when consuming this tropical wonder fruit. Actually coconuts are one of the most nutritious of all fruits there is and there are also many ways you can  consume this precious  tropical fruit in order to reap most of its benefits.                                                 One of my favorite  drinks when practicing yoga during the hot summer months is coconut water.

Actually, fresh coconut water is one of the highest sources of electrolytes, and it can be used instead of a sports drink to prevent dehydration during rigorous exercise or extende...

WILD GREEN ENERGY FOR YOUR BODY AND SOUL

Image
Now is the time at the Northern Hemisphere when the nature is flourishing bright green and this is the time when we can also fully enjoy the nature's bounty. I think that green drinks are a great way to kick-start a new day and also many yogic scriptures encourage people to enjoy green juices and smoothies. Right now you can also add some real wild green energy to your body by simply collecting the commonly so annoying garden weeds like stinging nettle and dandelion from your own garden or some clean place near your home. Actually these weeds can be very beneficial for the human body. Nettle leafs contain high levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, beta-carotene and high amounts of the vitamins A, C, D, and B complex. Nettle is an excellent dietary supplement because it has rich, diverse and balanced range of nutrients that are essential to the human body.
