SUNNY DAYS AND YOGA AT CANARY ISLANDS PART II

Image
                        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. Eka pada r...

SUNNY DAYS AND YOGA AT CANARY ISLANDS PART I

Image
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 a...

THE SECRET TO BOOSTING ENERGY DURING DARK WINTER MONTHS

Image
I started to feel really tired towards the end of the Nowember while I felt that I ate too much greasy and sweet food. I felt that even a cup of coffee didn't help and although I was still taking my green smoothie almost every morning it was not giving me the energy boost it usually does. Then I got Sarah Cadji's book Pure:Juicing for life as a gift from my man and there was the answer - juicing veggies. I got really excited after glancing the book. I have been juicing before but somehow I was more enthusiastic about smoothies than juicing. Maybe because it is so difficult to wash the juicer as it consists from so many parts and I also didn't know many juice recipes before. I went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits and the next day I started with green breakfast juice. I could feel the difference immediately, it worked better than a double espresso, I felt that I was full of energy, I was awake and ready for the day ahead.       ...

NAME PARTY OF OUR LITTLE PRINCESS

It was a beautiful Saturday in October, it was full of sunshine and light, roses and smiles, laughter, hugs, and love, it was our little baby's name party - a really special day for her and her parents. Usually she always sleeps in the car but when we where driving to the party venue that morning she was wide awake and for me it seemed that she was excited about the party ahead. I had told her earlier that morning that it is going to be her name party today.💕 Our little princess in her name party, she was so sweet and happy to see all the guests who arrived. Sparkling welcome drinks. Gift table and a beautiful painting among her gifts   The menu included sweet potato-carrot soup, mushroom pie and bagels. It was a beautiful sunny day and the party venue was bathing in that light. Our baby received so many beautiful cards and wishes, angels and blessings. Part of the nameceremony included some holy Indian mantras to bles...
