A good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet. Research shows that poor sleep has immediate negative effects on your hormones, exercise performance and brain function (study).

Who wouldn’t love to spend a weekend in a beautiful castle? I love the mountains and lakes in Engadine and the autumn season is particularly beautiful in the dreamy Valley of Grisons.

Hello my friends, Who doesn’t like going for a weekend to the mountains and let the soul wander and recharge the batteries in nature? Engadin is known for its unique natural landscape – green forests, turquoise lakes and small villages. The great thing about a 2+ nights stay in the hotel is the cable car and bus ticket included. Therefore, you can move without a car easily, just public transport and no additional expensive cable car tickets! I was very surprised about that, because usually when I go hiking those tickets are super expensive. And because the Nira Alpina is located right next to ..read more

I am an absolute morning person, but this has not always been the case. It was only when I started to develop a mindful morning routine which brought be joy and happiness that I became an early riser.

For this I have created a home environment which bring ..read more
