Maria Ivakova: personal life. Heads and Tails

Vegetarianism- What is this? A useless tribute to fashion or a necessity for modern man? “Typical Moscow” will tell you about everything in order.

Increasingly these days, in various cafes and restaurants you can find, in addition to the main menu, a separate list of dishes for vegetarians. In Russia, this practice is relatively new, but throughout the world this trend has already taken root quite firmly.

The very idea of ​​vegetarianism originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At first, this movement was more of a philosophical worldview, rather than a purposeful rejection of a number of products. It is worth noting that the word “vegetarian” itself is translated as “cheerful” and many adherents of this movement prove by their example that they are full of strength and energy, eating only plant foods. India became the founder of vegetarianism and other gastronomic tricks, because its religion strictly applies to any kind of violence. Then vegetarianism began to slowly make its way to all corners of the earth and take over the minds of society. Today, the boom in the traditions of past centuries is gaining momentum, so the fashion for food of plant origin will also increase.

Why is it fashionable to be a vegetarian?

Currently, we are increasingly hearing how Greenpeace and other ardent environmentalists are actively fighting for the life and prosperity of all life on Earth. For some, saving endangered species is an ideological boost and the meaning of life, while for others of our contemporaries it is just a way to make money. What prompts society to gradually switch to a plant-based diet, abandoning animal products?

In the present era when many are unsatisfied with their physical condition, plant-based food is the solution for those who want to be in shape. A diet of such products not only contains no cholesterol, but is also mostly low in calories. Secondly, many choose the path of vegetarianism for economic reasons. Meat products are much more expensive to produce and transport than plant foods. When choosing a vegetarian lifestyle, it is worth considering that such a path is environmentally beneficial. To raise livestock, it is necessary to have pastures, for which numerous forests are cut down. And, you see, if you get rid of factories and factories where they process animal raw materials, this will have a positive effect on the atmosphere. It is worth noting that, having abandoned sausage products, for example, nothing prevents enterprises from directing their activities to another area. Thus, by becoming a vegetarian, we, unfortunately, will not save the planet from air pollution.

Let us pay attention to the semantic difference between the words “vegan” and “vegetarian”. Both terms are often found in our lives, but are they synonymous or are there differences? The fact is that vegetarians include people who have eliminated fish, meat and poultry from their daily diet. Other products are more acceptable to them, because they do not focus on ideology, but just look after their health. A vegans- that's a completely different story. It is to them that, for the most part, numerous fighters for the rights of all living things belong. Supporters of this movement have a negative attitude towards violence towards all living things, therefore the consumption of products such as honey, eggs, milk and others, that is, generally related to animals, is unacceptable for them.

Vegetarianism has both positive and negative sides.

Among the advantages it is worth highlighting balanced diet, which contains all the nutrients necessary for the body. Lots of vegetables and fruits that do not contain cholesterol - this is the diet of a vegetarian. It is also generally accepted that supporters of plant-based foods live longer than those who actively consume meat products.

As for the disadvantages of such nutrition, whatever one may say, it is not possible to obtain a complete saturation of the body with all the vitamins and substances necessary for its vital functions only from plant foods. For example, vitamin B12 in vegetarians is taken only from innate reserves, as a result of which the body suffers. It is for this reason that many scientists and doctors strongly recommend that children and pregnant women not eat a vegetarian diet.

Should you choose the path of a vegetarian? It just depends on what the person wants to achieve. If the main goal is to lose weight, then, of course, more vegetables and fruits in the diet will help achieve what you want. However, completely giving up meat and switching to a plant-based diet will not give you slim figure, because a diet that is based on carbohydrates often leads to weight gain rather than loss. If your goal is to save all living things, then not everything is so simple here. A complete rejection of meat products does not guarantee the flourishing of humanity and peace, the purification of the atmosphere and the prosperity of animals.

Anton Lavrentyev – Russian TV presenter, musician, poet, singer, actor, showman. He made a name for himself on the project “Heads and Tails. Shopping”, later participated in the music television competition “Voice-6”, where he reached the semi-finals.

It is not surprising that constant contact with the world of show business inspired Anton to create a musical group.

Music

In order not to limit himself to one style of music, Lavrentyev founded two groups at once: the Gipsy Band, specializing in performing covers of popular songs, where Vera Novak became the vocalist, and L'acoustique, playing in the lounge style, where Anton plays the guitar and sings.

The groups toured concerts around the world and performed their repertoire at private corporate events. The artist’s plans included recording a new album and filming videos.

Anton lives in Moscow, but due to his busy filming schedule, he practically never visits his hometown.

Working at the club gave Anton Lavrentyev numerous connections and acquaintances, which eventually led him into the world of cinema. The artist’s first screen debut was the thriller “Runaways” directed by Rustam Mosafir, where main role performed. Anton played the episodic role of a musician, in which he looked organic and convincing. The film was released in September 2014.

Then, during filming, the creators noticed a young and charismatic guy popular show" " what became turning point in the artist's biography. The Ukrainian program benefited incredible success and just lost one of her regular TV presenters of the “Heads and Tails” project. Shopping" - Konstantin Oktyabrsky. For personal reasons, he was forced to leave the project, and the show's leaders urgently looked for a replacement for Konstantin.

In the very first episode, Lavrentiev became the owner of a gold card, which, according to the rules of the show, gives the TV presenter an unlimited amount for spending within the program.

In programs, viewers can often hear songs composed by the presenter himself during filming. During his participation in the project, Anton visited Vienna, Budapest, Rome, Guangzhou, London, Barcelona, ​​Lisbon. In total, Anton and Masha visited 70 cities during their three joint seasons.

At the end of 2015, Lavrentyev left Eagle and Tails. The TV presenter cited the need to develop further in the musical field as the reason for his departure. Anton noticed that during the project he had accumulated a lot of songs both about cities and not related to travel: “Romance”, “Breathe Easier”, “I’ll be whoever you want” and others.

Anton realized that he needed to release an album. Lavrentyev wanted to achieve heights in the musical and acting fields, but constant flights simply did not leave him time to do these things.

In 2016, the musician performed at the MAXIDROM 2016 festival with the composition “We Got Confused in Summer.” At the same time with major festivals and performances in clubs such as “16 tons”, the singer collected free cozy apartments.

Speech by the TV presenter of the popular project of the channel “Friday!” on Channel One created a sensation among viewers, and the video in a short time broke the million views mark on the official website of the show “The Voice”. Anton went further, choosing Pelageya's team. During the competition, Anton was supported by director Petr Sheksheev, a colleague from the Friday TV channel. , parents and younger sister.

In an interview, Anton admitted that even with enormous experience of performing in front of large halls and audiences, he felt nervous on the television project. For the artist, the competition became a school of excellence, where Anton learned a lot of new things for himself as a musician.

In the Knockouts tournament, the artist performed with musical composition Blurred Lines, and in the quarter-finals he sang the hit Ne me quitte pas (“Don’t leave me”), which gave the musician 76% of the votes. But in the semi-finals, after performing the song Love Runs Out, the artist gave way to his opponent.

Personal life

Like many show business stars, Anton Lavrentiev prefers to hide information regarding his personal life. However, this did not stop journalists from suspecting him of having an affair with his colleague on the show “Heads and Tails. Shopping" by Maria Ivakova. The young people often appeared together and maintained good friendly relations, which Anton himself repeatedly stated to journalists.

Gossip about the romance of two TV presenters flared up with renewed vigor after the next episode of the show “Heads and Tails. Shopping." The show took place in Las Vegas, where Anton and Maria played a wedding, which has legal force only in the city.

In March 2015, it became known that Anton started an affair with journalist Irina Shelest, who also became his PR director.

Anton Lavrentyev now

Anton constantly appears at social events - film premieres, parties, but most often alone.

Now Lavrentiev continues to perform at apartment shows and tours in Russian cities. Anton announces concerts in “

Anton: Always. In the photo: Anton Lavrentyev, host of the show “Heads and Tails. Shopping." For fans of the show “Heads and Tails. Shopping” I have always been interested in what kind of relationship actually connects the program’s hosts, Anton Lavrentyev and Maria Ivakova. What nonsense? They may have gotten married on camera, but in real life they are completely different couples. It’s worth opening Instagram and Lavrentyev’s girl will be known.

One way or another, we congratulate Maria and Anton and look forward to March 6 to see the wedding of the TV presenters on the air of the show “Heads and Tails. Shopping! Stars of the TV channel “Friday!” this topic was not commented on in any way, and therefore it came as a big surprise to everyone when they... suddenly got married! I didn’t even notice Lavrentyev’s girlfriend on Instagram. Caught up in wedding fever, Maria and Anton also decided to organize their own wedding ceremony.

Anton, from your experience, which cities have the best shopping? In which city did you especially regret that the golden card was given not to you, but to your co-host Masha Ivakova? Maria: We returned from London, there were very intense shootings, day after week, so to speak.

Maria: Most often I don’t have time, so I mentally check off the boxes, understanding where I want to return and see as much as possible. Maria: Very often we improvise when we go to some protected park where filming is not allowed. Anton: Or we say that I am the groom and I want to surprise the bride by recording a video while she is waiting at the hotel. Maria: That is, when they don’t give permission to film, we definitely come up with something.

That's why I bought it? Maria: When did you buy surströmming in Stockholm? Anton: Oh, surströmming is history. Anton: We keep some things for ourselves, some we give to producers, but we also interact with charitable organizations and provide them with things for auctions. Maria: Get up at 4-5 am. Makeup and hair styling take me 1.5-2 hours, which I do myself.

Maria, does knowledge about fashion help you when choosing clothes and accessories? Maria: Yes, of course. Anton, do you manage to combine music and filming? If we come to Moscow, then I can sleep at least a little, and Anton is constantly in the studio.

Maria: Yes, they say hello and take pictures. Anton: We will conduct New Year together, because I’m performing on this day, and Masha will celebrate the New Year with her family and will come to celebrate my performance. Maria: Firstly, you need to prepare in advance; never go traveling without preparation.

For some reason, when I saw them, I thought they were so suitable for each other, if only they could get married. She already had a gorgeous wedding in Italy)) It's just a joke, nothing more, they are friends!! The program “Heads and Tails: Shopping” turned Masha into a recognizable personality, although she has been working on television for several years now. Now what cuisine do you prefer? Do you cook anything yourself? What have I never tried in my life: fried grasshoppers and frogs.

Many stars, before getting officially married, cemented their union in this famous city. Stars of the TV channel “Friday!” also could not resist this temptation. How cool!! I like them. Both externally and as leaders. Oh my God, I hope they really got married.

Yes?! And I just wanted to wish them happiness. Oh, as usual they made a sensation out of a joke!! They tried not to advertise their mutual feelings and discovered them during filming in Las Vegas. Milan has all the conditions for shopping lovers.

There hasn't been anything that has made me directly upset yet. Experience shows that with only a hundred dollars in your pocket, you can spend it wisely. Our communication is not limited to filming the program. In each episode of the program you sing a song about the city you are in. Me myself. I came up with the first song, about Madrid, in advance. Moscow. When I began to travel a lot, I realized how dear my hometown. I also always enjoy returning to Rome and Paris. These cities fascinated me from the first minute.

Do you remember your very first trip abroad? Can you remember the most unusual dish you have ever tried? Local residents collect small shells on the shore, pick out shellfish from them and eat them. For them, it's something like our seeds. How did you get on television? We're sleeping! Often the plane the only place where this can be done. Do you select things for filming the program yourself or do stylists work with you?

What shortcomings are you willing to forgive? beautiful girl? If I don't like her, I simply won't communicate with her. Once you find yourself in this crowd, you need to decide for yourself whether to drink alcohol or not. I made my choice. I don't know what kind of girl can handle my current schedule. I’m like a sea captain: traveling for several months and only a week in Moscow.

About 25 million people live in Moscow, of which one hundred thousand are beautiful girls, one of whom could potentially become my other half. 07/27/2015Natalya Bardo: “Marat Basharov has revealed a new side” The host of “Mr. and Mrs. Media” Natasha Bardo spoke about working with Marat Basharov and the return of the show to the screens. 06/12/2015 About love, work and summer mood: interview with Irina Muromtseva The new show “Park” by Irina Muromtseva will take place in Gorky Park.

What kind of relationship do you have with Maria Ivakova? Maria: There are so many of them... Anton: I recently bought a spaghettimeter in Naples. Changes in Maria Ivakova’s personal life have not yet affected her career - she also continues to actively act in film.

What city have you returned from now, what are your impressions?

Maria: We returned from London, there were very intense shootings, day after week, so to speak. It took our producers a long time to agree on filming. This is a very difficult city, so we returned quite exhausted and tired.

Do you have time to enjoy the country and its culture during filming?

Anton: Sometimes it happens, but not always. For example, this was done in Japan and Indonesia.
Maria: Most often I don’t have time, so I mentally check off the boxes, understanding where I want to return and see as much as possible. There are also countries after which, having visited once, I think: thank you, I liked it, I won’t come again.

Do you actually flip the coin or do you do multiple takes?

Anton: Everything is for real, we arrive, throw a coin and only then will we find out who will have the golden card.

Tell us a couple of funny cases when you had to improvise?

Anton: Always. Everything that happens in the frame is, for the most part, improvisation. Naturally, there is a certain plan, a fairly abstract director’s script: we come to this or that country, at the start we throw a coin, determine who gets a gold card and who gets a hundred dollars, and hit the road. But everything we do at each individual location is the direct work of the director and presenter. Depending on the situation, we joke or “play on” this or that product. There were many situations, for example, in beautiful Zurich, where I was lucky to be rich, I really wanted to buy myself a children's collectible Aston Martin model, which cost 58 thousand euros. You can put a child in it, and he can control the car with the help of pedals. But the producers did not approve of this purchase.
Maria: Very often we improvise when we go to some protected park where filming is not allowed. If we are forbidden, we begin to say that we have Honeymoon and we make videos for ourselves. And so it is in every country.
Anton: Or we say that I am the groom and I want to surprise the bride by recording a video while she is waiting at the hotel.
Maria: That is, when they don’t give permission to shoot, we always come up with something.

What was the craziest and most useless purchase each of you made?

Maria: There are so many of them...
Anton: I recently bought a spaghetti meter in Naples. I also have this thing now - it’s called kevchegduda, it’s sold in Budapest. This is a ceramic jar, covered with the skin of a goat or cow, and a hollow stick is stuck into it. You rosin your fingers and play it, it’s a small Hungarian drum. That's why I bought it?
Maria: When did you buy surströmming in Stockholm?
Anton: Oh, surströmming is history. Surströmming is a herring that is pickled in its own juice, it is made in northern Sweden. The Swedes have their own tradition, which dates back to the times of the Vikings. The process is as follows: they catch fish, throw it into a barrel of salt and leave it for two weeks, the fish goes rotten, they pour out the old salt, pour in new water, throw in the fish, close the jar. All! And there the fish begins to wander, slowly rotting. It lies there for a long time until it is opened and eaten. But there is a condition - Swedes always eat it with vodka, so as not to get poisoned, with a very large layer of butter, bread, potatoes, just to kill the smell. He is, as you can imagine, disgusting. But we wanted to tell the audience about this delicacy, so we bought a jar of surströmming and went to a beautiful island. Masha was supposed to go there; she had several locations and a gold map there.
Maria: We got up at three in the morning, left at four and missed the ferry.
Anton: After the guys “kissed” the ferry, the next day I went there, and I only had twenty euros left. We got up at three o'clock in the morning, left the hotel, and the rain outside was terrible, just hellish hell. We arrived on the ferry, slept the whole way, and when we woke up, we realized that the people on the island had not even woken up yet. And the island is very nice, like a little Switzerland, the houses are pointed everywhere, everything is very beautiful. We walk and think about where to eat, where to have breakfast, because it was impossible to eat on this boat we were sailing on. We went into a cafe, and there was a small corner where they served coffee, a small corner with cookies, and just a battery of ice cream, 56 varieties, and this is Sweden. We had breakfast one day, went out, and an orc, an ogre, some kind of witch, a wizard and a guy with a drum came out to meet us from around the corner. We went in the same direction and found a medieval fair, where we discovered our surströmming.
Maria: We also bring a bunch of all sorts of useless figurines and keychains every time.
Anton: You see, the main idea of ​​the program is not to bring something stunning and wonderful, but to bring a purchase that fully characterizes and reveals the soul of the city we visited. Souls often repeat themselves, so our task is to make everything as interesting as possible so that people want to see the city.

Do you keep the items you buy from the program?

Anton: We keep some things for ourselves, give some things to producers, but we also interact with charitable organizations and provide them with things for auctions.

What is your working day like in another country?

Maria: Rise at 4-5 am. Makeup and hair styling take me 1.5-2 hours, which I do myself. We have breakfast and leave for filming. We finish at 22-24, and sometimes at 3 am. Sometimes you manage to sleep well - it's 7 hours, sometimes you can't sleep at all. We had such a schedule that we slept for 2 hours every day and flew every day. That is, you wake up in the morning, leave at 3, fly on a plane, film, come back at 1 in the morning, go to bed, get up again at 2 - this is a very difficult schedule. When we arrive in new town, Anton always knows where the gym is, I always know where the supermarket is to buy fruit and have a snack during the day, because I can’t eat normally, but I need to eat and keep myself in shape.
Anton: I have almost the same day, but instead of getting ready, I wake up and quickly run to the gym, come back, have breakfast if I have time, and start filming, we film, I come back, and fall asleep in the pose of a corpse. And in the morning everything starts all over again - one big Groundhog Day.

Maria, does your knowledge of fashion help you when choosing clothes and accessories?

Maria: Yes, sure. Sometimes I even suggest something to producers, because I know brands all over the world very well. I'll open it little secret, in our New Year's issue we will have very a famous person in the fashion world, and when going to meet him, I didn’t have to sit and look for information, because I was already well acquainted with his work and knew what questions to ask.

Anton, do you manage to combine music and filming?

Anton: Yes, thanks to self-organization.
Maria: Anton works a lot, he doesn't sleep at all. If we come to Moscow, then I can sleep at least a little, and Anton is constantly in the studio.
Anton: It is very important to have good organizational support; without support it is impossible to cope, because the plans are very big: recording an album, shooting a video, various musical and poetic projects.

Do you often get recognized on the streets?

Maria: Yes, they say hello and take pictures. I love it when people ask me to take pictures at the airport. Yesterday a man told me: “ I hope my daughter recognizes you, because you are different without makeup».
Anton: Couple - couple - remember!
Maria: Well, what do you think? How will I fly with bright makeup and red lips? I'm a human too a common person who flies often, who may look bad, after all, and may not wear makeup - this is normal.

How do you plan to celebrate the New Year: at home with your family or on set?

Anton: We will spend the New Year together, because I am performing on this day, and Masha will celebrate the New Year with her family and will come to celebrate my performance.

Give some personal advice to shopaholics who are traveling to another country.

Maria: Firstly, you need to prepare in advance; never go traveling without preparation. You need to look at the sites in advance: iknow.travel, foursquare.com and tripadvisor.ru, go to different sites in the local language, write to someone there, ask for the addresses of local shops. Everything in advance. Secondly, if you are going on vacation, then spend the whole day shopping, that is, you don’t need to put everything off until later, but take and devote separate time to shopping - from morning until evening. And, of course, the best time to go is during the discount season.
Anton: I completely agree with everything said above.

Beautiful, smart and almost a Komsomol member! In fact, Masha is one of those people with whom you fall in love at first sight and forever; she exudes positivity, kindness and warmth. You rarely meet such people, and if you do, you can’t part with them and talk to them. Now Masha herself will tell you something about herself, but this is only a small part of what you still have to learn about her! Read and ask Masha questions that she didn’t have time to answer, and we’ll make another interview out of them.

• Since childhood, the stage has been everything to me! I really liked the attention to myself, I loved holding concerts and choreographing the numbers myself. But, as often happens, my parents wanted to raise me as a serious person who should study well and get a decent profession. At the same time, I myself have always strived to be successful and independent. Already at the age of 12, I asked my dad to help me find a job for a month, whatever. And he got me a job as a nurse in the X-ray room. I only managed to earn a few pennies, but the feeling of independence was unforgettable!

• After school, I entered the Tax Academy and already imagined myself as a cool financier, although mathematics was difficult and it took more time to understand the material. At the same time, literature, the Russian language and history went with a bang and with pleasure.

• The first realized salary was already in student years: I earned $200 at the time at a computer company and spent it on a Dolce & Gabbana belt. (Laughs.) Basically, I worked every summer from early childhood. I liked that I could learn something new and achieve something myself.

• At the institute, I realized that studying is, of course, wonderful, but it’s time for me to start building my career. I became an employee of an investment company dealing commercial real estate. She started from the starting position of an assistant, but worked recklessly and eventually became a development director in two years. It wasn't just luck, I worked very hard while continuing my studies. But as a result, I graduated from the university with grief in half, there were also C grades.

• At some point, I realized that I worked a lot: I only rested for two weeks a year, the rest of the time I just worked hard. I wanted some changes. I started helping a friend who was organizing events. And one day my friend Max Perlin called me and said that he was launching new project Russia.ru, and offered to host a program about fashion. Together with my friend Lera, we went to shows once a week and covered events in the fashion world. We called ourselves Marie and Valerie. The trick was that we didn’t bother at all, we laughed all the time and enjoyed the process. At the same time, I organized events and worked in an investment company. Then I had already started earning good money and, like many girls, I spent everything on clothes. But not on fashionable outfits, but for a bunch of identical shirts and skirts, since the company had a strict dress code.

• Soon everything changed in my life. I decided to end my office career and open my own business. My sister Alena and I created The Tailor Shop. It was a big risk, but it was worth it.

• I married wonderful person. We had a great wedding, and no one could even think that everything would end so quickly. But in marriage, we were both very relaxed, we didn’t work on the relationship, we each did our own thing. In the end we broke up. Although we still communicate, respect and support each other.

• It is very important to develop together in a relationship. If you are passionate about something, then try to do it together. Communicate, share. It is clear that everyone has their own personal space, but the values ​​should still be shared. When a relationship ends, there is no one person to blame, it is everyone's fault.

• When I came to the casting of the project “Heads and Tails,” the only thing I knew about it was that it would be a program about shopping in different countries. Then I thought: “Who, if not me!” I have traveled a lot, I love different brands, I know how to analyze local designers, and communicate with new people. And I was so confident in myself that when I left the casting, I thought: “If they don’t take me, they will be very sorry.” And I didn’t believe that I was approved until I received the tickets. When I saw my schedule for the year, I simply burst into tears of happiness!

• Anton Lavrentiev, my co-host on the show “Heads and Tails,” and I are often credited with having an affair. In fact, we travel a lot together, so our relationship has grown from just work to friendship. But Anton is very different from the men I choose. So there is no romance between us. And rumors began to spread after we staged a wedding in Las Vegas as part of our project. But, of course, this is not a real marriage.

• The last break in the pattern in my life was visiting Africa. Many are convinced that it is dangerous there: all sorts of viruses, malaria. This is all nonsense. Africa is a huge continent, there is beautiful nature, wonderful people and starry skies. I'm delighted and will definitely return there! It seems to me that everyone should visit places untouched by civilization. By the way, I didn’t meet a single Russian in Africa. There were Germans, French and others there, but no one spoke Russian.

• I was very disappointed with Marrakesh. I always judge a country by its people. And in Arab countries difficult people live. But there is, for example, Amman in Jordan, whose residents are generally hospitable and friendly. But in Marrakech people are aggressive. When locals start beating you with sticks just because you take pictures of them without warning, it's terrible. In addition, they constantly tried to deceive us there: local traders inflated prices three times and shortchanged us. That's why I don't want to return to Marrakech. The same goes for Cairo – the people are wonderful, but it’s very dirty and unpleasant.

• Madly in love South America, however, you also need to be careful there. For example, in Peru there are many energetically strong places. I am a sensitive person and I understand where I feel good, where I feel bad, and where I need to be on guard. And Peru is just such a place. There are many shamans and spirits there. You need to listen to everything that happens. If someone comes to you to ask for money, it is better to give it. For local residents magic is absolutely normal. And going to a sorcerer is a common thing for them.

• The most valuable thing for me is the people who meet in different parts of the world. They are all so different, each with their own story. Even an ordinary driver in Tunisia can say such words that you understand everything around you in a new way. I call them teachers.

• I strongly advise everyone to take medications with them when traveling. Pack a small first aid kit, which must contain: antibiotics, enterosorbent (for poisoning), something for diarrhea. And drink more water. In our group, force majeure periodically occurred when someone got sick, but we always managed without hospitalization. The only thing that’s unpleasant is that you have to work at work. No one sees what state you are in before the command “Motor!”, and you need to work in the frame as if nothing had happened.

• I never go anywhere without fabric masks, creams, night and day masks. For me, face cream is must have! I don’t do any anti-aging procedures, but use Korean creams and masks for skin care. I don’t go to the spa, for hair styling or makeup, I do everything myself. When we travel, we don’t even have a makeup artist.

• Recently I have gained a lot of weight. Apparently, numerous flights and poor nutrition on the road take their toll. I started playing sports, but the weight continued to gain. In fact, flying greatly imbalances the body. It took me three months to remove excess weight without harm to health: only sports and healthy eating. And I'm still on the way to my ideal body. Now I don’t eat sweets at all, I exercise every day, I don’t eat fatty meats, and I can afford some flour-based bread in the morning. In Moscow I usually work out with a trainer and go to yoga. When I travel, I run or do cardio exercises.

• When I see plump people in the gym, I want to hug them and hold them close. I understand how difficult it is to lose weight. I respect them very much for this zeal. The main thing is not to stop!

• My spiritual growth began with the awareness of death. I was already an adult, but for some reason I had never thought about the finitude of existence before. And when I realized that we would all die and this world would one day disappear forever, I already looked at life differently. Then I was an atheist, I was interested in philosophy and read a lot of Schopenhauer. Then I began to look for myself in religion. And still I searching man. It is important to hear yourself. We need to find time to be alone with ourselves more often. Meditation helps me with this.

• I really want to take Vipassana. Vipassana is practiced everywhere: from the Moscow region to Los Angeles. This is a trip to the ashram for about a week, all this time you are in a confined space with other people, the group consists of about 30 people. You don't talk to anyone and meditate 10 hours a day with short breaks. People leave there with complete order in their heads. Of course, it’s hard, but such changes are happening inside, such enlightenment! Happiness, love - all this is already inside us, and we don’t need another person from the outside to feel it.

• I want new projects. I want to work in cinema and theater. I want to work on my brand. I'm not saying that I'm a designer, no. I evaluate myself soberly and I just want to do for people what doesn’t exist yet, and make it accessible. I want to have a family. I want children.

• I love to cook, although I used to hate it. Now I understand that it is important for a woman to be able to cook for her man and create comfort. Previously, I was only absorbed in my career. It is not right. At work, on trips, we cook everything for each other. And I would like to cook for my family the same way.

• If I met my little self, I would hug myself tightly, with great love. And she would say: “God exists, don’t be afraid of anything. Dream, go forward. Everything will work out!”
