Maria Kravtsova, better known under the pseudonym MariKa, is an extremely talented and multifaceted girl who was able to achieve impressive success in the modeling business, and also realized herself as a clothing designer, TV presenter and actress.

Childhood of Maria Kravtsova. Young model

Maria Kravtsova was born in Moscow. At the age of three, the girl had to go through her parents’ divorce. The father came from the family, but the mother was never able to find a new man, investing all her strength and resources into her daughter. She worked in all sorts of ways to provide her daughter with the best: a hairdresser, a nurse, an employee in the district executive committee - such a load seriously undermined the woman’s health, but she did not give up.

Taking an example from her mother, Maria from an early age tried to take all the fruits from the tree of life. The girl studied in a dance studio, went to a music school, and studied drawing and burning. It was difficult to imagine how such a young lady finds time and energy for numerous hobbies.

Since childhood, Maria dreamed of walking down the catwalk in bright outfits. As a rule, parents often oppose this desire, but Maria’s mother supported her daughter, did not dissuade or be afraid, and as a result took her 13-year-old daughter to a casting at the Vyacheslav Zaitsev modeling school.


The girl turned out to be unusual talented child and from the first minutes she proved to the famous fashion designer that she could succeed. Of course, for little Maria it was not at all easy: she queued at the agency from early morning in order to be first, but older, more experienced and famous models came and pushed the girl to the very end of the queue. She walked obediently and stood patiently for several more hours. Then followed grueling hours of filming. But the efforts were not in vain. In 2001, Maria received the title “Vice-Miss Moscow”, being recognized as one of the most beautiful women capital, after which not only Russian but also foreign agencies began to notice and invite her. In 2002, she became a nominee for the prestigious Ovation Award in the Best Model category.


Soon Maria began to earn more than her mother and had several contracts with large metropolitan modeling agencies: President, Red Stars, Modus Vivendis. Not a single fashion show took place without Maria Kravtsova. She has walked the runway with legends such as Adriana Lima, Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.

Having experienced the delight of acting on camera, she decided to learn acting. The beauty was quickly invited to play episodic roles in the TV series “Kamenskaya”, “Club”, “Luck Island”, as well as in the films “The Most best movie" and "8 first dates."


Acting did not bring the same fame as modeling, and the girl quickly switched to a new path - she decided to become a designer, to dictate fashion on her own, and not just demonstrate the creations of others. At the end of 2007, Maria released her personal brand “Masha Kravtsova”, and already in 2008 a line appeared on the shelves fashionable clothes spring-summer, under the bright title “Yes... Yes... Yes... More!”

– When I came to MTV, Masha Malinovskaya was on Muz-TV. We didn't need two Mashas. I was a forced bird, I had to choose a pseudonym. At first, Marik’s ear hurt badly, and his friends said: “Eww.” But then it turned out: it’s more convenient to be Marika on the screen and say instead of “Masha Kravtsova was with you” - “Marika was with you.” More playful, simpler.

27-year-old TV presenter and designer hides her businessman husband

They first started talking about Marika (then Masha KRAVTSOVA) when she, 16 years old, appeared in our correspondent’s photo hugging hockey player Pavel BURE. This was 11 years ago. Then the athlete invited Express Newspaper to visit him, where he introduced young lover. After that attractive girl began to flicker on social events and on magazine covers. The unexpected fame turned Masha's head, and she and Pasha quickly parted. But this didn’t really upset her - there were so many handsome, wealthy and gallant suitors around that her eyes ran wild...

Soon after Bure, casino owner Vadim Sosin appeared in Marika’s life, who had long been “suspected” as the father of actress Alika Smekhova’s son. Rumors about the secret wedding of Kravtsova and a businessman were even actively circulating in the party, but the matter did not actually reach the registry office - the far-sighted beauty considered it unnecessary, because life was just beginning.

The most famous and longest-lasting was Marika’s romance with Comedy Club resident Pavel Volya. But after four years life together they broke up.
- Love is gone, but I can’t live without bright emotions. We probably just overexposed our love. And the relationship reached a dead end,” Marika shared with Express Gazeta a year and a half ago. - Now I'm completely at work.
It is worth noting that even before the final break with Volya, Kravtsova was caught in Ibiza with another resident of “Comedy...” - Viktor Vasiliev, who is now marrying Snatkina.
“The newspapers made a big deal about my affair with Marika,” Victor told us. - We really were in Ibiza. And it so happened that we were placed in one room with a large bed. We were terribly tired, Masha with four suitcases... We looked at each other and realized that we were already such friends that we could easily spend the night in the same room. True, we asked the administrator for two blankets.
A few months later, Marika was caught in a nightclub, where she was intimately snuggling with Pavel Derevianko when he was celebrating his 35th birthday. And at the same time, the TV star admitted:
- I really miss tenderness and sincerity of feelings in my life.
And last summer Marika, completely immersed in creating fashion collection, meets a sensible businessman. They say Sergei. They say attractive. And this summer the couple is already getting married in one of the most beautiful corners Italy.
Kravtsova carefully hides her husband, explaining that he is not a media person and does not strive for any publicity. And who, like her, wants quiet family happiness, illuminated by children's smiles. Having become independent and financially independent, Marika came to the conclusion that she now wants to be not only a wife, but also a mother. But, like a wise woman, she understands that she needs to carefully prepare for this serious step, so she undergoes a full examination at the Moscow Perinatal Center, where the children of many celebrities were born, despite the fact that the cost of a contract for childbirth exceeds a hundred thousand rubles. True, relatives claim that Marika plans to give birth in Italy, where she has a business, so that, as they say, without interruption from production. But it’s too early to think about this.
- Masha - well done! If he really wants something, he always achieves it,” the star’s friends note. “And everything will work out soon with the baby.” And, probably, she and her husband will not stop at one thing.

JUST A FACT
Marika Kravtsova acquired the pseudonym in 2005, when she made her debut on the MTV-Russia channel as the host of the Euro-top 20 music hit parade.

Salad “Vitamin Bomb”🤩 ⠀ Friends, I think many will agree that in the summer it’s not always pleasant to stand at the stove. And the appetite is not as great as in winter. And in the heat, I prefer something light, like salads. I am sharing with you one of my favorite salads with a rather unusual combination of products. I gave it a name myself, and the name is so telling, see for yourself. ⠀ Ingredients: ⠀ 1-2 avocados 2 baked beets (I often pickle beets in salads, write how?) 1 grapefruit, divided into segments 1 orange, also Poppy seeds for beauty (black sesame is fine) Microgreens (or any of your favorite greens) ⠀ Dressing: ⠀ 2 tbsp. orange juice 1 tbsp. lemon juice 2 tbsp. favorite vegetable oil 2 tsp. maple syrup Salt, pepper ⠀ It is better to mix the dressing separately. Cut the vegetables as you like, arrange the orange and grapefruit, pour the dressing on top and sprinkle with microgreens. ⠀ Do you like citrus fruits in salads or main courses? ⠀ #happyrecipesmariki

I still decided to read John Kehoe, his famous “The Subconscious Mind Can Do Anything.” Or rather, listen. And I didn’t regret it. He talks about simple truths, but it is these seemingly long-familiar thoughts that we often forget to apply. It is vital to read such books periodically and thereby remind yourself of what is important. ⠀ Liked: “You cannot think positively and negatively at the same time. At some point, one type of thinking always predominates. A way of thinking develops into a habit, so you must ensure that positive thoughts and emotions always prevail over negative ones.” ⠀ He claims: “The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.” And here I completely agree with him - I felt it myself. ⠀ Friends, tell me honestly, do you know how to control your emotions and switch from bad thoughts? I know a great exercise to combat negativity, should I write it?

Pineapple kvass ⠀ This is a super easy and mega tasty recipe - a godsend for a spy, I would say I’m sharing with you because I love you very much and I want your summer to be fresh and healthy. Well, and what’s also important: we are for rational consumption and waste-free production, right? Here is our kvass just from this series ⠀ We take one pineapple: wash it, throw out the top, cut off the crust. We give the pulp to the children, and keep only the crust and core for ourselves. By the way, it is in this core that contains large quantity useful enzyme. It helps digest food and also starts the fermentation process. ⠀ Cut the rod into pieces and put it in three liter jar. Add 3-4 tablespoons of honey and add water. Cover with gauze and leave on the table for about 5 days. After 3 days, foam will appear there, everything will begin to bubble and ferment. The process depends on the temperature in the room, mine is quite cool, so it took longer. Then we express it, pour it into bottles and put it in the refrigerator. ⠀ As my dear Lena Letuchaya @elenapegas, who I taught to make kvass, said, it looks like lemonade with sourness. And I’ll add that this is just a must-drink for the coming summer. Cook with pleasure and then share with me, how do you like it ⠀ #happyrecipesmariki

We discussed that brain development does not depend on age, and nerve cells, fortunately, are restored. And I promised to tell you what I am going to do to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. ⠀ I don’t pretend to be the truth, I’m not a specialist. I communicate with doctors and nutritionists I know, read something and share my thoughts: ⠀ I’ll go over the obvious. Nutrition: Gut bacteria directly affects brain function, so taking care of your gut is everything. Controlling stress levels - a job you don’t like is life-threatening, and so on. Sports, sleep - we have talked about this more than once and will continue to talk about it. ⠀ Now about the main thing: brain pumping. Every time we remember something, new neural connections are formed in the brain. The brain must be active; a state of stagnation must not be allowed. Have you noticed that sometimes we do things out of inertia? How I once almost drove the children to kindergarten on Saturday, although I should have gone the other way 🤦 ♀ And here, in addition to memorizing poems or learning languages, it will be great to do something completely new. If you walk the same road, take it and change the route today. Drive using a navigator - try without it, even if the 1st time it will take twice as long ⠀ Another exercise - eat or write with the other hand. I don’t suggest it to my daughter, she’ll be fine if she eats with her right hand without loss, but I’ve already practiced it with my son in the form of a game. ⠀ Guess the riddles. Again, involve the children. And now there are still many applications for the phone with games for erudition. I've already pumped up ⠀ Read more. We also discussed books; we don’t have enough time for reading. But I try to listen to audiobooks whenever I have free time. “Gut and Brain” and “Ageless Brain” became number one on the list. Swap TV for books. ⠀ And it’s great to coach fine motor skills: embroidery, knitting, etc. ⠀ But the main thing is to think about it now. ⠀ You wrote in the comments to the previous post about the brain that aluminum in desiccs, gluten and frequent herpes bring Alzheimer’s disease closer. I heard about this, but I haven’t seen the latest research on this matter and I can’t confirm it. I'll try to find a doctor so he can help us. live explained everything. If anyone is interested, put pluses so that I can understand whether to look or not.

Remember, I recently said that I am often afraid to take the first step. I'm now working on this ostrich feature of mine. And the other day I saw Bruce Willis’s words on this matter: “Do you know who a loser is? The real loser is the one who is so afraid of losing that he never dares to even try.” And I don’t want to be a loser at all, so I plow with double zeal ⠀ Friends, who is on my team of snails and ostriches?

Friends, I recently came across a list of ancient Chinese instructions. This is absolutely my philosophy of life. Apart from rice, everything is as they wrote from me. Well, there are problems with the last point 🤪, but I’m working on it! Rate it for yourself: ⠀ Forget your age; Don't judge yourself by your years; Treat yourself with exercise, words, herbs and massage, heat and cold; Inhale the aroma of trees and herbs; Eat rice, drink tea, hide meat in vegetables; Watch for the warmth of your kidneys and the coldness of your head; Laugh more (there is no problem with this at all); Forget about the bad; You are protected if you are gentle; You are soft when you are calm; You are calm when you are healthy; Love people; Don't notice those you can't love. ⠀ How do you like it? Do you agree or does something contradict your beliefs?

Friends, I tried hot yoga yesterday. I felt like a grilled chicken ⠀ Bikram yoga has long been popular in America. And we also practice it in Russia. The trick is that you do the asanas in a room heated to 40 degrees. ⠀ As usual, I’m the bravest and ahead of the rest of the planet, I thought that I’m not new to this business and went straight to a very hot hall. Sweat is coming off in liters, I can’t breathe, my heart is pounding - it’s breaking my ribs. I actually saw how a couple of kege left me. Interesting experience ⠀ This type of yoga is great for helping you lose weight. excess weight and remove toxins and impurities along with sweat. But what is also important for me is that the body warmed up at such temperatures becomes more flexible and stretching is effective and painless. Hot yoga is also relaxing. I felt such bliss as soon as I was released No, seriously, it’s good for the nervous system ⠀ Just be sure to read about the contraindications if you want to try it. Because, to be honest, I almost fainted yesterday. ⠀ I also want to experience anti-gravity yoga and laughter yoga. Although, in my opinion, I can teach the latter myself. I’ll tell you about my favorite types of yoga next time. ⠀ Will you write to me what type of activity you do, what you have tried, what you want to try?

I recently learned that by the middle of the century the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's will triple. The disease is getting younger. And not only genetics are to blame, but also injuries, diabetes, depression, ecology, smoking and alcohol, excess weight and even a sedentary lifestyle. ⠀ And I was really puzzled: why, when talking about old age, do we primarily worry about wrinkles, and not about the brain?🤷‍♀ I like to find a reason to worry ⠀ In general, I rummaged through a bunch of articles, talked with specialists and determined for myself and my family a clear plan of action And I have two great news. Nerve cells are still recovering! And the likelihood of dementia can be significantly reduced if preventive measures are taken from the age of 30. ⠀ Tell me which ones? Are you interested in this topic, otherwise we seem to be talking more about nutrition here? Do you take care of your brain yourself?

What do my children eat ⠀ Just like yours, mine love pasta, pizza and buns. But since their birth, I have been obsessed with the goal of not scaring them off and instilling in them a love of proper nutrition. And so far their diet makes me happy. ⠀ In the morning there are different porridges: millet, buckwheat, oatmeal or quinoa. Our dad cooks semolina, his crown Personally, I’m not a fan of either the taste or the benefits 🤦‍♀ I soak the cereals in the evening - and they cook faster, and there is no phytic acid. ⠀ Pancakes. When dad eats with us, we cook classic ones - our dad is not a fan of experiments. And if for himself, then gluten-free - rice or buckwheat with the addition of spinach or turmeric. ⠀ Cheesecakes and cottage cheese casseroles. Well, this is a classic ⠀ We have five soups, I alternate them: chicken with pasta or quinoa, pumpkin puree soup, green frozen peas, fish soup and, of course, borscht. ⠀ Cutlets, where would we be without them? When dad has time, he takes it upon himself. It’s very tasty. Of course, they are never dietary. Well, I’m back to my point: I cook beetroot or with spinach ⠀ Pasta. I recently bought it from lentils. ⠀ Smoothies, juices - personally, I love green ones. I think they are the most useful. I drink unsweetened ones myself, and add an apple to my children. ⠀ Fruits are always in the diet, I try to give different ones. They love grapefruit. And without sugar, they just gobble it up ⠀ Baked sweet potatoes with green sauce, which you twist with spoons. ⠀ Cupcakes. Here they rather love the shape of the cupcake than what it is made of. And, of course, I use this. Under the name “cupcakes,” my children get zucchini, pumpkin, and beets. ⠀ We make sweets together. The latest passion is avocado candies, there was a post recently. ⠀ Banana bread, which is not surprising. ⠀ Avocados are eaten, fortunately for me. ⠀ And they fell in love with chia. I soak them in homemade almond milk, add a drop of maple syrup, and put berries on top. ⠀ The main thing is that I try to introduce children to cooking. Then they eat it more willingly. If you just give Akim guacamole, it’s not a fact that he will even try it. But if he cooks it with me, he will then eat it with pleasure, dip it up to his elbows, and scrape it off with a spoon. ⠀ Please tell us what your children like and what you would like to include in their menu? It is very interesting to me!

Peace, labor, May, comrades! Happy holiday to all workers! By the way, Labor Day is celebrated in 142 countries ⠀ I can call myself hardworking (and modest) because I work most of my life. Although, of course, I can also be lazy 🤪 But I learned the formula for success a long time ago. I think it is impossible to become successful without effort. Remember how in childhood we were often given the example of the proverb: “You can’t catch a fish out of a pond without effort.” I really agree with it. ⠀ The main thing is to be busy doing what you love. Do you love your job, honestly?

As you understand, I am quite stormy in Lately. Who am I and what place do I occupy in this life? A classic of the genre ⠀ When there were more questions in my head than answers, I decided to get to know myself better. I chose a psychologist, I already talked about this the other day. I also want to make my own natal chart, because I believe in astrology and do not consider it a pseudoscience. I also want to explore myself in numerology. My friends had the experience: they were told so many amazing things, and so many things coincided. ⠀ A friend also strongly advised me to take Human Design or Human Design. Have you heard of this? And I’ll tell you now‍♀ This is a tool that, based on the date, place and exact time of birth, shows the features of your Self. And explains how to be in harmony with these features. ⠀ I am a manifesting generator. The most powerful energy potential among all types. A kind of machine that sweeps away everything in its path. Busy activity and all that. Seething, I would even say. They explained to me that a hurricane of energy, a hundred ideas per second, explosive emotions is my nature, which is stupid to fight. And I slandered myself. The inability and unwillingness to wait is another trait for which I also reproached myself. Although you just have to take it for granted. ⠀ But the main thing that made me feel better is that I am not able to work long and hard on just one project. And somehow, you know, life became easier, life became more fun ⠀ And @elenahd_ became a guide to the world of Human Design Thank you, Elena! Much became clear to me. It was an interesting experience. ⠀ Friends, do you believe in astrology and numerology? Have you tried to count yourself in Human Design?

Despite the fact that most often I smile - and I am not lying - doubts, fears and dependence on the opinions of others live inside me. Perhaps, like many of you. I still shake like a leaf before every performance, I’m afraid of being judged, I worry about how I look and what I say. And I’m afraid to take the first step, although there are a lot of ideas in my head. To be honest, I’m already tired of this indecision. ⠀ I once went to a psychologist, but it wasn’t the best experience, or I wasn’t ready. In our country, psychology is still viewed with caution. Even some of my friends roll their eyes when they hear the phrase “my psychologist.” Many consider this a whim and treat them like shamans. ⠀ As you understand, I talked to a psychologist. I cried for two hours. I want more. No, seriously, already during the first meeting so many negative blocks and attitudes were discovered. And why didn’t I go earlier?🤷‍♀ ⠀ And now I want to shout about it: darling, nothing is impossible, everything is in our head! ⠀ My psychologist Olga Alen @ol .alen agreed to broadcast live for us. We want to start with fears and attitudes. Because this is the root of all internal blocks, self-doubt and postponing life for later. ⠀ We can touch on other topics. For example, sometimes I can’t cope with my emotions and I overwhelm myself. But you need to learn. If we don't know how to manage our emotions, then we don't manage our lives. Olga explained that control does not mean suppression. And she promised to give me cool technology and explain why this happens and what to do. ⠀ In general, if you want to change something in life, but don’t know where to start, if you are overcome by doubts and fears, dependence on other people’s opinions, come to our live broadcast with @ol .alen tomorrow April 25th at 21.00 Moscow time ⠀ To make the broadcast useful, write what you would like to talk about. What bothers you the most?

Beetroot ice cream 🤤 ⠀ Who saw the stories with him? Guys, I swear, I was still holding back. It is, without exaggeration, divine. You should definitely try it - it's a must for the coming summer ⠀ Ingredients ⠀ For ice cream: ⠀ 1-2 beets (or 150 g of freshly squeezed juice) 1 can of coconut milk 1 lemon (zest and juice, first grate the zest, then squeeze the juice) Any sweetener (I use agave syrup + stevia) 4 yolks (if you don’t eat eggs, replace with corn starch) 2/3 tbsp. blueberries or blueberries (can be frozen) 3-4 tsp. ginger juice ⠀ For chocolate chips (great stuff, I also use it as a base for cheesecake): ⠀ 1/2 tbsp. green buckwheat flour (or any other) 1/2 tbsp. almond flour (you can grind almonds) 1-2 tbsp. cocoa powder 1.5 tsp. cinnamon 2/3 tsp. ground ginger pinch of salt 5 tbsp. agave syrup 1/4 tbsp. coconut oil (or butter, if you eat it) you can add 3-4 tbsp. l. beetroot juice ⠀ Preparation ⠀ Ice cream: ⠀ Beets: if you have a juicer, then press 150 g of juice. If not, then bake a couple of small beets or one large one and puree it in a blender. You will get a slightly different taste, but no less wonderful. In the video I use juice. Mix beets, berries, 1/3 coconut milk, lemon juice, zest, sweetener and ginger juice in a blender Separately in a saucepan according to the principle custard: 2/3 coconut milk + 4 yolks, bring to thickening over low heat, stirring continuously (!). You can do this in a water bath, but I'm lazy, I feel good as it is. Gently mix it with the rest of the mass, taste it to see if there is enough sweetness, and if everything is ok, pour it into molds and into the freezer. We wait with all our might ⠀ Baby: ⠀ Mix dry ingredients Add liquid ingredients, mix until smooth shortcrust pastry, just crush it well with your hands Chaotically place it on a baking sheet, bake for 10-15 minutes and watch, as the dough can easily burn Let it cool ⠀ Once you do it, don’t forget to post it with the hashtag #cookingsmarika or mentioning my account - I’ll be happy for you and yours lucky relatives ⠀ #happyrecipesmariki ⠀ Joy, dears!

I am partial to root vegetables. I have tender feelings for sweet potatoes, beets, and Jerusalem artichoke. You've probably already noticed this. And I revere them not only for their interesting taste, but also for their benefits. In order not to replenish the rows of jars with vitamins and dietary supplements, I try to get something healthy from the products. I especially monitor the nutrition of children. ⠀ I'm telling you. Your like = thank you, Masha ⠀ General: root vegetables are an excellent source of carbohydrates and fiber. Almost all of them contain complex carbohydrates, which fill us with energy. Well, in terms of calories, they are our best friends ⠀ Beets. I really lean on it because it is the winner of the “Skin Youth” award🥰 It contains sooo many B vitamins, folic acid and silicon. Rejuvenates not only skin and hair, but also body cells. And it has a positive effect on brain function. Also superfluous, right? ⠀ #happyrecipesmariki has recipes for brownies and beetroot hummus, cashew truffles with beetroot juice. ⠀ Sweet potato - sweet potato. Only many times healthier than regular potatoes. Rich in phytoestrogens, so it is recommended for normalization hormonal levels. It is good for the skin due to its high content of vitamins C and A. Although it is sweet, its glycemic index is low, so it can be eaten even if you have diabetes. This bright miracle is also an excellent antidepressant, so if you are sad or worried about something, then go to the store for sweet potatoes ♀ ⠀ Yesterday there was a post-list of dishes from sweet potatoes. ⠀ Jerusalem artichoke. Champion in potassium content, which means it is good for heart patients. And for diabetics too, as it contains inulin, which normalizes blood sugar. But for me, its main quality is that it helps the functioning of the stomach: it promotes the development of beneficial microflora. ⠀ From Jerusalem artichoke I make puree soup with truffle oil, casserole, pancakes and amazing super-healthy kvass. ⠀ I also love celery root for its extraordinary taste. You can make a lot of salads with it or just fry it like potatoes and add mint 🤤 I love Jerusalem artichoke salad with celery root, apple, basil and lemon. ⠀ And my children and I in America got really hooked on jicama and watermelon radish. True, I don’t know if we have this in Russia 🤷‍♀ ⠀ What kind of root vegetables do you eat? Well, except for potatoes, beets and carrots

The other day I cried a little out of happiness After the most ordinary lunch, my son said: “Mom, you have golden hands.” I melted, like avocado ice cream ⠀ And Akim sometimes says: “Our mother is a craftswoman.” He's the one who brags about me. Well, it's so nice ⠀ Have your children praised you?

Healthy crunch - kale chips ⠀ I love crunch, and so do all my family. I'm sure many of you are also in our chipmunk gang. But we're all for PP here, so the crunch should be healthy ⠀ Chips can be made from any vegetables and fruits. And one of my family’s favorites is kale chips. ⠀ A year ago there was already a post with this recipe. Then I received a great response and decided to make a video for you. Moreover, I have a lot of new ones. You asked where to buy kale. Auchan, Azbuka, 365detox, Fresh, deliveries like Perekrestok or Utkonos. ⠀ You can cook them in a simplified way: butter, salt and lemon juice, and it will be delicious. But I like them to be cheesy🤤🤤 And since we are talking about health, we will not use cheese, but nutritional yeast. These flakes contain a lot of protein, which includes a complete amino acid complex. Nutritional yeast is also rich in essential B vitamins. In general, it’s a decent cheese substitute. I order it on iherb. ⠀ Ingredients for the sauce for one bunch of kale on stems: ⠀ 1 cup cashews (soaked for 4 hours) 1/2 bell pepper 1 clove of garlic ½ - ¾ cup water Juice of half lemons 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast Salt ⠀ Put everything in a blender, bjj. We tear off the kale leaves from the stems in fairly large pieces, because... they will shrink in the process. The leaves must be dry. Mix them with our sauce. Place a thin layer on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 140-150 degrees. Place a baking sheet there and dry it. If there is no dehydrator function, open the door slightly and wait about an hour. I dried it closed for about 30-40 minutes. Once they need to be turned over to the other side. And as they cool, they become crispier. ⠀ Have a nice crunch, and don’t forget to like Masha for her work ⠀ Friends, tell me, have you already made chips from any vegetables or fruits? ⠀ #happyrecipesmariki

⠀ But one thought haunts me. Nowadays there is no great need to cook. Now there is such a glut in the food market, sometimes you don’t know what to choose. Great amount restaurants, food delivery, all food-related services. In general, do people need to learn to cook? Will they need this in the future? ⠀ For me, cooking, in addition to self-expression, is also a way to show my family my love and care. I sincerely believe that the food that we prepared with love and put our soul into it has a completely different taste. Even our distant ancestors knew that it was impossible to cook in bad mood Otherwise, along with the food, your family will receive negative energy. ⠀ And I'm interested in your opinion. Tell us why you cook? Why are you wasting your time and energy? Let's go ⠀ “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. Desk book powerful of the world this. You could say it's a classic. I started the paper version three times, but it’s already on the second page🤦‍♀ I hope the audio will help me. Nnnada ⠀ “Think and grow rich: the golden rules of success”, Napoleon Hill. This book is already considered a classic among self-development reading ⠀ “The subconscious can do anything,” John Kehoe. This one has definitely been read by everyone around me, I’m the only one left. Tell me it’s not so. Well please ⠀ “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki. This one is the same ⠀ “People who play games”, Eric Berne. Cult book about the psychology of relationships between people. ⠀ ′′ Hormones of happiness. How to train your brain to produce serotonin, dopamine, endorphin and oxytocin,” Loretta Breuning. I read it in electronic form, but didn’t write anything down, and I forgot a lot of it, I want to refresh it. The book is excellent ⠀ ′′ Live! 7 commandments of energy and health", Yitzhak Pintosevich ⠀ "The magic of the morning. How the first hour of the day determines your success." Hal Elrod ⠀ "The power of the present. A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, Eckhart Tolle ⠀ “A Book about Self-Power”, Anthony Robbins ⠀ “Simply space. Workshop on Agile life filled with meaning and energy", Katerina Lengold ⠀ "Emotional intelligence. Why can it mean more than IQ”, Daniel Goleman ⠀ Lecture-consultation “About children”, Mikhail Labkovsky. I read his “I Want and I Will”, there is a good section about children. That’s why I have high hopes for this lecture. ⠀ I’m now listening to Gippenreiter about children, and I plan to listen to the whole of Petranovskaya. The positions of these authors are close to me. ⠀ One of these days I will post a list that I have for my soul. Honestly, I can’t imagine how you can read only this

In America, as in Moscow, I live far from the city. And if I leave my village, then it takes me 40 minutes to drive, and in traffic jams it takes an hour and a half. Previously, I could get lazy and stay at home. But, as they say, if you can’t change the situation, change your attitude towards it. And I came up with an activity for myself ⠀ I listen to audiobooks. At first I thought it wouldn’t work out with them: after all, there’s someone else’s voice in your head, and you can’t make a note. But I had to. Because I need and want to read, there are dozens of books on the list, but with paper and electronic books everything is not always smooth for me. I honestly pick up a book before going to bed, but I get knocked out already on the third page🤦‍♀ Friends, tell me I’m not alone like that, otherwise I don’t feel right 🤪 And I can’t read during the day either: there are always more important things to do or something distracts me. ⠀ And since I’m often on the road and running, I now devote these two hours of my life to audiobooks. I also love music, but lately I like to listen to books, I tried it. This is more about educational books: o personal growth or educational - you listen to them like a lecture. Fiction I want, of course, to read and savor. Especially when you have free time. ⠀ But here’s what you can’t do: bookmarks and notes, this is a minus. I noted something on the paper, after reading it I went through it again, and the information fit perfectly. In electronic form, you can copy and paste into notes. Just memorizing audio, taking notes while driving is not an option

Artichoke dip 🤤 ⠀ He helped me out more than once when I was expecting guests. I noticed that this dish is one of the first to be eaten. This sauce is really incredibly tasty, one of my favorites. And I haven’t forgotten that I promised you a selection of my favorite dips, I’ve almost finished writing them, I’ll post them one of these days ⠀ So, the ingredients: ⠀ 2 cups of artichokes in oil (drain the oil, chop the artichokes coarsely) 2 cups of young spinach leaves 1/4 - 1/2 cup almond or low-fat coconut milk 2/3 soaked and rinsed cashews 2 tbsp. tahini (optional) 1 tbsp. dry herbs (Provencal mixture, oregano, rosemary) 2 lemons 3 cloves of garlic (chopped) salt, pepper ⠀ Preparation: ⠀ 1. How and why to soak nuts, I have said more than once, I can repeat it if necessary. By the way, the soaking time for cashews can be reduced to 4-5 hours. 2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees 3. In a food processor or blender, mix vegetable milk, cashews, tahini, herbs, lemon juice, garlic. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add 1/3 of the artichokes and spinach, mix until smooth, chop the remaining artichokes with a knife, stir into the mixture with a spoon. Salt and pepper. 4. Transfer the pasta into a baking form 5. Keep in the oven until boiling (15 minutes, the dish will begin to bubble) ⠀ Ideal to serve with almond crackers that were recently in the feed. Or you can also use raw chopped vegetables (carrot sticks, cauliflower, celery) ⠀ On my page I often talk about health, here my conscience is clear. But not everyone is as conscious as you are. Although the simple truth that it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it later is known to everyone ⠀ And this holiday is another reason to remind us all that our health is our own doing. And yes, these words have already set everyone’s teeth on edge - healthy and active image life. Well, if only this can lead us to a full happy life 🤷‍♀ ⠀ We can control basic health indicators. It is vital for us to undergo regular medical examinations: take basic blood tests, check the heart, etc. After all, some diseases develop without symptoms or pain ⠀ I also recently wrote that proper nutrition is available to everyone, despite the contrary opinion of some. Because most often the problem is not the lack of products, but the fact that there are too many harmful things ⠀ My dears, I sincerely wish you good health! Take care of yourself, take care of yourself and your loved ones, eat right and, of course, don’t forget about sports. Your Masha
