  Valldemossa village is located in the Tramutana range hills, about 17 km from Palma. There was beautiful green view of mountains everywhere and a lovely village to visit to do some shopping and sightseeing. We went to see the statue that was made for Saint Catalina Thomas, she was born in 15th century in the village of Valldemossa.                                                                                            We stayed in Cala d'or and Santanyí, the beach above was closest to our holiday home. There was clear blue water and sandy beaches surrounded by beautiful nature.  Cala Figuera. One of the bays we visited during a boat trip that started from Santanyí and took us to see many lovely beaches and landscapes. Mondra...

What a wonderful surprise it was when we arrived to our friend's house for a barbecue party with my sister who is also pregnant for her second child. We had no idea that there was a beautiful baby-shower party organized for us inside. We choose the path to our friend's house that went from the other side so that we missed the mysterious signs leading to her house and giving some hints of the theme of the party - Alice in wonderland. We saw only one big sign in front of the house at the porch before entering to the silent house. Then, SURPRISE our friends, mother and cousin appeared from the kitchen and the living room was full of life. It was a baby-shower party for us and our soon to be born babies. We where totally surprised about this wonderful party that had also a lovely tea-party theme.    Me and my surprised sister with diaper cakes that where full of lovely surprises for our babies too. A beautiful hat cake made by our friends. Some goodies offered...

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. It just cools down the body from inside so well and it really quenches my thirst. Indeed coconut water is a great hydration drink as it contains about 95% 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...

For the first time in many years I will spend the entire month of July in Finland. Usually I have been traveling somewhere during this hot summer month as it has been more quiet time for  the yoga studios and perfect time for my holidays. Now I am on my maternity leave and my activities are more limited this time. One month before the due date it is not recommended to fly on an airplane. To be honest I have really enjoyed these much more local holidays that have been about letting go of work schedules and hectic plans that I have usually done for my holidays abroad.  I love to have new experiences and to explore new places so this has been something quite new for me.  This time we have been spending time at the beaches and islands close to our home. It is lovely to wake up slow and then prepare a nice picnic breakfast or brunch and take it to the beach or enjoy it at our backyard without the need to rush anywhere.  I have been able to really sl...
