The TV presenter told us about the secret of a long marriage, admitted when she can raise her voice and why she prefers sticks.
– A system is needed in everything. If only on March 8 you remember that you are a woman, do nothing with your face and figure, throw up your hands in disappointment: “Life has failed” – this is the psychology of losers. In general, this is a matter of priority: what do you want? If you enjoy the fact that you feel good, you look good, you have a successful career, you know how to be attractive in the family … All this stimulates and motivates you very much to adhere to this or that system and enjoy it … Of course, it should be a way of life. The way of thinking. Morning gymnastics ritual, walks, moderate physical activity – no violence against the body! Sports and physical education are different concepts. Even as a member of the junior athletics team, I came to the conclusion that physical education has a much more useful and positive effect on the body and on your attitude to life. Over the years, I’ve found a place for a gym mat in my suitcase. And I realized that it does not take up much volume and weighs practically nothing. It helps me a lot on trips, business trips. For example, when I have a poor sleep or a long flight, and I need to look good and feel good.
– I am different, I am alive! If I can influence the situation for the better at this particular moment and for this I need to make a loud shout or raise my voice, I will. But if it’s useless, then what’s the point in screaming? The Chinese, for example, have long known that a person working in the speech genre spends a lot of physical energy. Although from the outside it seems that he is not doing anything – he is just talking. In the East, long-lived people eventually stop talking and go into deep meditation.
– There was fitness, tennis, and other active sports, but over time I found my physical activity, which adds good health to me – this is yoga, which I do in the morning or during the day. I have a set of exercises that requires a lot of physical expenditure – power yoga. There is stretch yoga, which is based on proper breathing and stretching, because the youth of the body is the elasticity of its tendons, ligaments, muscles.
My passion lately has been Nordic walking. I have two sets of poles: the foldable ones that I travel with and the regular ones that I keep in my country house. My husband and I love to walk with them – during a walk you can talk about a lot, discuss some issues and just be together. You can walk at any time of the year, independently adjusting the load. This type of fitness is becoming more and more popular, various trainings, events, and competitions are held. This is my third time taking part in the “Freedom of Movement” Nordic walking festivals – this is a very positive festival that unites active people.
– As for family life, it is, of course, a series of mutual concessions. Humor helps a lot. My husband and I are already 32 years old, and we are just interested to be together. He is my first, main adviser when I need to make some balanced decision. My children grew up in love, kindness and understanding. Therefore, they have a good example in order to make the right choice in their lives, creating a family.
– My husband and I did not insist on any choice. Children made their own informed decisions. This is their destiny. These are their abilities and talents, which they wanted to show, to realize themselves in some kind of projects: adults, meaningful, daring … They are very different from us and must live their own scenario. What was laid down is already there. Further into free swimming! And only so. Yes, they ask me for advice. And more and more over time. Of course, I want them to make as few mistakes as possible in their lives. But I do not insist on anything. In conversation, I try not to use an edifying tone, so as not to hear the first word “No”. If in response I get: “Thank you, I’ll think about …”, then it’s worth a lot. This means that they are ready to analyze the situation.
– I am the vice-president of the League of Professional Image Makers. In social networks I sometimes have a page related to cosmetology. In order for women to know what to expect from certain procedures, what effect, how not to get the opposite result. At our age, it is already worth trying something. Of course, it is best to go to a doctor, and not to a random office, but to a good clinic, in order to find out all the necessary conditions, to get the most useful advice. Hyaluronic acid is not a panacea. Special gymnastics is very good for the muscles of the face. Many are lazy to do this, but the effect is amazing. The same can be expected from manual massage. If we do it regularly, with a good specialist, then it slows down the aging process of our facial skin. You can take care of yourself even with the simplest means. For example, do peels at home. I learned a lot myself, at home. You must be prepared that, once in the hands of cosmetologists, you will have a new item of expenses. And this pleasure is not cheap, it requires a system. And every time cosmetologists offer new treatments, hardware methods of preserving youth and beauty. But even at home, by caring for your skin, you can also get very good results.
– Time dictates its own themes, its heroes. Was leading, now no. Quite recently there was an broadcast when I was invited as an expert. Therefore, do not be sad. I am always on the side of women!
– Traveling is my passion! I have so many plans. I prefer not to return to the places where I have already visited. The land is big, there are a lot of interesting places on it, and I want to see and feel so much. I plan my travels very carefully. I like to immerse myself in the reality of the country, culture where I am going, when it comes to some exotic, such as Vietnam, Cambodia or Indonesia. I seriously study routes and places to stay, I read travel forums in order to be ready for anything. After all, each country has its own characteristics, its own nuances in relation to food, and in relation to shopping, souvenirs, and car rental.
– I generally collect them and really hope that all the compliments are not over there (smiles). It’s always nice to hear something new. Compliments are very dear to me, which relate not just to my appearance, but to some of my human qualities, which viewers, once noticing, remember, appreciate.
– I’m omnivorous. I love music very much. I like classical music concerts. I have a favorite Spanish Symphony Orchestra. Over the past 10 years, I have been at the international jazz festival in San Javier – I am a fan of jazz, I like the whole atmosphere around it. I love ballet, I love watching operas. If there is no way to see it live, I turn on the online broadcast. They are very popular now. I like variety art, I love museums. They have become so modern: there are many different unusual installations that make your brain work, draw analogies. A night at the museum is an ingenious invention. Not because only on this day, once a year, you can visit the museum for free. This draws attention to those wonderful collections that are collected in different museums. I really like contemporary art, custom design. I love reading magazines on interior design, gardens, parks. I like everything that is beautiful.
– My favorite dish … the one that I am preparing at this very moment. I cook it with pleasure and love for my friends, for my family, for my relatives. Whatever you cook is a momentary pleasure. I never cook for future use. Weekly borscht, cutlets for five days – this is not about me. I have everything very quickly and from what we have. The husband sometimes wonders: “How, from what did you do it ?!” And how many years we have been together – he never ceases to be amazed at my culinary abilities. This is very flattering and stimulating to me. And, of course, I try not to lose my face. I am a supporter of healthy nutrition. After all, how we feed our body, how we charge it, so it will serve us. I am for a healthy diet. It helps you look and feel your best!
– I am very grateful to my parents and happy that I happened to grow up in such a family, in a difficult time. But it shaped me, made me stronger, more resistant to some life situations that I had to face. I believe that children always outgrow their parents. They say that nature rests on children. But this is about some kind of talents. If we talk about life experience, then everyone goes their own way.
