Hello from the author
Ok, maybe a short introduction would be in place. I am the writer and creator of this little blog, Sara. More formally I am Project Manager for a start up of a new corporate division in Hong Kong. Borned and raised in Sweden. I LOVE Hong Kong and everything there is to explore here but miss fresh air and nature like crazy. I also love yoga, good healthy food, SPAs, being outdoors, traveling, running, shopping, swimming, everything green, home decoration, spinning,
cooking, skiing, baking and most importantly my amazing family and greatest friends all around the world.
With my blog i want to inspire myself and others to a green and healty big city life. Food for exemple. I dont even have a kitchen here. What are the good take-away options? What simple dinners can you make easily even with HK standard cooking facilities - and maybe a blender :)
Where are the good hikes? On the other hand I love big city living. The shopping. The good winebars. To me, health is not about being boring, its about balance.
I want to make the absolute most out of my Hong Kong experience and be as healthy and happy as possible on the way. This is what I will write about in this blog, mixed with some feelgood messages and just everyday life. The days that goes by and that in the end form our lifes. To me, life is all about tryig to be as happy as possible every single day - Hapiness is a way of traveling, not a destination.

The Yoga Barn UBUD
Have now spent 2.5 days in Ubud and took a total of 5 classes at the Yoga Barn. I have absolutely loved it. Praticing yoga can easily become more a routine than something fullfulling and this trip has absolutely given me alot of new inspiration to take my yoga practice to a new level. And there is definetly something truely magical about Bali. LOVE

The Lovetarian Diet
This is so interesting! From Filippa at Raw Clarity I found this (and also borrowed the image from there). AMAZING reading and inspiration. I LOVE the word - Lovetarian. So simply and yet so brilliant.Raw Granola
Hmm I am not sure this is going to be a new favorite. Even if I am sure Raw musli dehydrated is delish, this moist consistancy really isnt my thing. Served with cashew milk. However, also had a great shake with banana, hazselnut and nutmeg and some great green tea.
All the Little K at the Yoga Barn, Bali.
Ubud Aura Retreat Center
Lovely little place. Simple but lovely. Clean, superfriendly staff and right next door to the yoga barn. Couldnt ask for anything else.
Bali day 1 - EATING
Day one is comming to an end here in yogic world. Had an amazing day. Fresh fruit salad and tea with lime and ginger for breakfast. Went swimming. Amazing yoga 1.5 hours to follow. THen LUNCH. After 3 days of food posion symtomes, it as a blessing to finally feel hungry. And I was just at the right place. The KAFE at the Yogabarn in Ubud, Bali. Had a "Megs Bowl" with mixed greens, avocado, tofu and nuts. Ricepaper roles with raw veggies and tofu. And a green supersmoothie: Coconut water, spinach, cucumber and some raw honey. YUM.
4pm more yoga - amazing again. Home, went swimming again, really clears my head. 8pm time for meditation. In the dark Bali night and candle light. Fantastic. Learning so much. Feel so blessed. Felt so strong during my second class, reaching for the celing in the delicious Bali breeze.

Fresh flowers
I have a great flower guy on my street in Sheung Wan. Even though he has quite a small variety, I cant go anywhere else. He is just too nice and the flowers are of great quality. Brings me so much energy through the weeks. Its the small things that makes life big, right?
Green smoothie - basic
So this is my basic basic recipe for a great simple green smoothie. Mango, banana, spinach and some coconut water. Proportions are easy to estimate. I blend, pour into my Starbucks thermo cup that I never use for coffee anyway. And off I go. Its as easy as that, Takes 2 minutes. And makes you feel GREAT.

The dragons back hike
There is nothing that makes me happier than fresh air and walking. Since my time in Switzerland I have come to love hiking. The good news is that there are alot to explore in this area in and around Hong Kong too. This is something that I want to write more about in the blog.
For now, a breathtaking view from saturday. Guide to follow.

The greatest love of all
You know how it goes right? Learning to love your self. Now that is the greatest love of all.
Everyday we have to remind ourself. But and the end of the day, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself (excuse me, just finished wathing the final episode of sex and the city).
Loving yourself starts by taking care of yourslelfs. And that is excactlly what will be my mission next week. No more peanutbutter sandwiches snacks (yes, i know, peanutbutter has a lot of good stuff, but has lately become the most fundamental part of my diet) - it has to go for a while.
So peanutbutter out - Green smoothies in. YAY. No more excuses. I have a blender to make it, a starbuck thermo cup to bring it to work, and got a hole bag of greens and fruits, mint and ginger today. And coconut water. That will be the base this week.
Also will continue the good routines I have for home spa and gym. Will be a good week I am sure.
Lots of love xx
