Participation in this seminar was my birthday present from my husband. I settled on the site a long time ago, first I read, then I registered, from time to time I wrote in my diary. We had a hard time, we were in a financial hole. I started making techniques, and my husband changed jobs with a stable income. I got to the marathon and they began to pay me a salary at work, which had been delayed before. We are planning a trip to the sea, during the marathon I updated my wardrobe, I became happier, only those who are wealthy or lazy say that happiness is not in money, my happiness depends on finances and I will try to make efforts further. I thank all the participants for your reports, it was very interesting to read them. And special thanks to the hosts, thank you for the changes in life that you and your site help to achieve!!!

First I would like to thank you for this rewarding marathon! I did all of his assignments. The truth did not make friends with the "millionaire's diary" and still have not gotten around to interviews. All because of natural laziness ... working hard on this disease! Every day I visualize with a money tree (bill-magnet) and money snow. Previously made a house for money with a golden roof. And of course a GLASS OF WATER! (this is just a masterpiece!) And now about the result! I will say this, he did not keep himself waiting. It took only 2 weeks from the beginning to the primary result. First, I received a large amount of money and continue to receive it from various sources. At the same time, I do almost nothing for this. So... a couple of e-mails. In addition, I receive small, but very pleasant gifts from fate, in the form of the fulfillment of small long-standing desires, which I already forgot to think about :)) Plus, unexpected pleasant little things from friends, buddies and acquaintances. Every minute of life brings a certain feeling of delight from everything that happens around. I am surprised, like a small child, every unusual situation. And the most important thing is that I absolutely do not care what happens next. Because I know it will only get better!

Hello) Thank you for this easy, positive and wonderful marathon! It was unusual and unusual for me, because all the tasks are in audio format, and not in the usual text. For me, this marathon was probably the brightest, sparkling, light and filled with love.
I came here to work out self-love and increase the level of female energy. The marathon is a wonderful exercise for this. Right at the initial stage, you get a powerful breath of strength, returning to yourself all the wasted energy on past relationships and failures. Then you get rid of a whole heap of negativity and attitudes not only in relation to people, men and relationships, but also in relation to yourself and your inner self. Work with energy centers helps to completely clear all the negative and throw it off yourself. After that I started to change. Husband gave me an expensive gift :)
And with exercises to fill with the energy of love, female energy - you gain wings! You start to glow. I even started to smile just oncoming people on the street, despite the fact that now it's minus 26 and I'm walking up to my eyes packed in a sports jacket xD
After completing this marathon, I realized one thing. We dig into ourselves, into our fears and blocks, into some complex and difficult thoughts .. But! As soon as that same person appears on the horizon, it all just disappears in one fell swoop. Everything is resolved instantly. And when you work for 2 months, clean it all up, and then fill up with love and do the “meeting your soul mate” exercise, you already begin to broadcast positive vibrations into the universe, and they gradually return to your life in the form of real events.
Concentrate immediately on what you have, on all the best qualities of the men who are next to you. Stop seeing only the negative in yourself and in people. Throw it out! If there is no person even on the horizon, do the exercise "meeting your soul mate", and in a few days changes will begin to occur! The most important thing is your focus, girls, girls, I read the reports and was amazed at how much we can dig into our heavy thoughts! You don't notice it in yourself. And that's what marathons with reports are good for. Throw this spatula))) And start building stairs up. There you are already waiting for a wonderful and bright relationship. When we see positive qualities in people, direct attention to them, we give energy to all this good and no longer feed the negative, it weakens and leaves.
And separately about reports and feedback. In my opinion, this is the most important thing in marathons. You see more than just yourself. And not only one on one with the leader of the marathon. You see the world in such group work, the world of people like you with approximately the same problems or different variations of your situation, and you understand your path more clearly! Svetlana, thank you for a wonderful marathon, a feeling of fullness, joy and lightness! I directly felt how my relationship and in general everything around began to sparkle with love and happiness! Thanks!

When buying, check the herring, there should not be any foreign smell and it should not be yellow in color. You can decorate the finished salad "Herring under a fur coat" as you like. This time I made a drawing with ordinary mayonnaise, squeezing it straight out of the tube. In my opinion, this salad looks much more festive.

Ingredients:

  • 1 herring,
  • 1 onion
  • 1-2 beets,
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 potatoes
  • 3 chicken eggs,
  • mayonnaise,
  • a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.

How to prepare salad:

Peel the onion, finely chop it. Peel the herring, remove the bones, head, remove the skin. Cut the fish into cubes. Mix with onion and add vegetable oil, mix.


Boil potatoes and carrots for 30 minutes, do not forget to add salt to the water. If the water boils away quickly, then add more. Peel the finished potatoes, grate on top of the herring and onions. Squeeze mayonnaise, smooth it with a tablespoon.


Grate carrots, spread with mayonnaise again. Boil the eggs, rub them on top of the potatoes. Spread again with mayonnaise.


Boil the beets or bake in the oven for an hour. Grate the beets on top of the eggs. Spread with mayonnaise again, wait 15 minutes.


Make a drawing by squeezing the mayonnaise out of the tube. Garnish the salad with parsley or dill sprigs.

On the eve of the holiday, let's talk about how best to make a New Year's menu, given the main feature of the holiday - a late and night feast.

Festive table

Receiving guests, a festive table is a particularly pleasant event, especially on New Year's Eve. However, sometimes it is very difficult to predict how many dishes need to be prepared in what volumes for the festive table.

If you are planning a wide variety of snack dishes for the festive table, it is advisable to reduce the portions of the first and second courses by about half.

Menu

The menu of the festive table, the New Year's menu, traditionally consists of cold appetizers and salads, hot dishes of meat, fish, poultry, various drinks and, of course, dessert.

Pick up appetizers and salads of your choice. Here the main rule is a variety of tastes and compositions. Try not to cook the same type of salads based on potatoes and mayonnaise.

You can diversify the festive table with canapes, fish, meat and cheese platters, pita rolls, vegetables.

With a large selection of cold appetizers, remember about hot appetizers. They will be a nice transition to the main course.

The main concern of the hostess is the hot dish of the festive table. It is better to cook it on the day of the reception of guests or, in extreme cases, the day before.

It is better to cook meat for the festive table in portions if it is not served immediately after cooking.

It is best to bake it in a large piece in the oven. Beef makes excellent roast beef, veal or lamb can also be baked in a piece or stewed with sauce.

To give the meat a tender, piquant taste, use all kinds of seasonings, spicy vegetables, and sometimes just vegetables and fruits to your taste.

You can roast poultry in the oven, and serve the side dish separately cold. If you prefer fish dishes, you can boil it (choose sturgeon or salmon) or bake in the oven, but choose varieties without rib bones.

Remember, never prepare a new hot dish for the festive table. But the dish on which they tested themselves can always be served differently, changing the shape, side dish, filling, decoration.

It will be your signature dish that your family and friends will only be able to taste at your place. Do you already have a proven dish? Be sure to include it in your New Year's menu.

Thinking through the menu, choose the right sauces for hot dishes and snacks. The sauce gives the food a special aroma and taste, emphasizing the merits of cooked products.

For the New Year's holiday table for dessert, it is better to prepare jelly, cream, mousse, cocktails. Since it will be very late, after a hearty meal, these chilled dishes are pleasantly refreshing.

Fruits served in a vase always decorate the table. A nice addition to the festive table, after a break, can be a cup of tea, and light confectionery can be served with tea.

You should not cook heavy salads with mayonnaise, dishes from fatty meat, smoked meats for the festive New Year's table. Such dishes contain a whole range of substances harmful not only to the figure, but also to the stomach.

On New Year's Eve, give preference to salads with light dressing, meat baked in the oven with vegetables, fruits and vegetables.

What to remember

In the New Year's bustle, do not forget about the diet. You should not cook festive dishes all day on an empty stomach, but only under the chimes start to absorb all the dishes.

Sit at a table in bright light. Research scientists have shown that people eat less food in strong light.

Eat slowly, chewing thoroughly, enjoying every bite. Don't forget to drink water.

Concentrate not on food, but on the New Year's holiday itself: dance more, chat with friends. Then the New Year will give you only pleasant memories!

Happy New Year! I wish you success! Health! Happiness! Love! Well-being! Always be in great shape!
