"Seychelles boasts 115 islands, but only 33 of them are inhabited. The proximity to the equator makes an impact—I managed to get sunburned on the beach in just 44 seconds; that's my record. Since Seychelles is only 5 degrees south of the equator, it's winter here, with temperatures around 27-28°C. Seychelles has no venomous snakes or spiders, and most importantly, there are no man-eating sharks near the shore. You won't get bitten in the water. Although, a partial liposuction wouldn't hurt me 🤪. Praslin Island, home to @rafflesseychelles, is one of the most picturesque. Beaches with rocks and high mountains against the backdrop of the blue ocean look absolutely breathtaking, don't you agree?"

"What do you think, is it good or bad when people envy you? Share your opinion in the comments, and I'll share mine. It'll be interesting to discuss! Have you ever encountered a situation where you wish everyone well, do nothing wrong, yet somehow, people around you are still not supportive? There was a period in my life when my audience changed by 70%. Now, instead of my old audience, a new one has arrived. But back then, there were many unfollows, even from followers who were true fans. BUT! They were 14-15 years old, and first and foremost, they followed a girl from Volgograd who decorated her small room with handmade crafts. They tolerated the first Maldives and Paris trips. But when I started making videos about changing my life, buying apartments in Moscow, about year-round travel, those who used to write 'Masha, I adore you, you're the best blogger on the planet, YouTube was created just for you' simply unfollowed me. Because I started doing what I love and what I want. I stopped being convenient. I stopped conforming. I stopped hiding my ambitions and possibilities. Then I came to the conclusion that if you want people to love you, do nothing. Wear something old and shabby. Date guys you find repulsive. And suffer. Better yet, be incurable. That's when everyone will adore you. You could call this wisdom the 'three B's rule': if you don't want envy, be poor, talentless, and sick. In the end, when I realized you can't please everyone, I decided it's better to let them envy than sympathize. The key is to do what you love.
