Fig jam!! My mom always made 2 things with figs. One lot (the very ripe ones) cut in pieces and make jam. The other figs stay whole and we called it canned fruit ... but it was in bottles. I loved this!! I loved all the jams and 'canned' fruit. My dad's family were always the 1st to 'look' what fruits she did and left with about 6 bottles! Appreciate your mother and grandmother. You still have an eye for the most beautiful scenes. You yourself is a scene. A beautiful scene!

The dog sure had fun swimming from board to board. Liked the fresh food you had and the fresh fruit and vegetables. Can't say the beach was enticing with all that gravel, but you made it look good sunbaking.

It's always great to see your videos. It's such a pity thst there are problems in Europe otherwise i wouldn't mind joining you for your early morning adventure. What a wonderful life you live with family and friends

You portray Russia well and it looks amazing. So beautiful and looks amazing. Russia too :)

Russia is Beautiful country ,🎉🎉 doing good job for showing us the nature of Russia 🇷🇺 👏, keep it up

That's a nice way to end the video. Sun setting. 🌞 👍

Definitely worth getting up early for, well done on keeping your balance! Resize belt about 12-15 Euros in France. Only 3 weeks until I visit Moscow, can't wait.

I watch your videos once in a while and it's amazing how your English is now perfect. Inspirational the way you've kept at it

I love watching your videos. It’s a glimpse into how another culture which isn’t to dissimilar to ours lives. Thank you 🙏

Hi again Sveta… here in the United States you would usually go to a local tailor or maybe shoemaker to make any alterations, including belts. Unfortunately with today’s buy-new disposable societies, local mom and pop repair stores are disappearing. I think that you meant that the air got dryer and less stuffy and humid. Hope that this helps😊…

Watching your videos makes me think Russia is the only safe place to be ! Very much enjoyed from London ❤

Привет от 🇧🇷, очень обаятельная и элегантная женщина, и эти достоинства сияют в ее видео на высшем уровне 💎😘🌹🌹🌹🇧🇷

Russia not what I expected ! Much nicer !

Wow! A beautiful city and so tropical. Having a wonderful family and enjoying simpler things in life is means so much.

Sochi is great and Rosa Khutor above it even better. I think I need a break from Moscow 🙂

Your videos are wonderful. That river is lovely and those fish will come back.

😊❤️🌟Great adventure, thanks for shining 👍

Fantastic to wake up to you, I mean your video. A ray of sunshine in our turbulent world. Stay close to your family, as time goes on you would miss them greatly, I know from experience. Even my home country where I was born in Hungary, is giving me a proud, love driven desire to return. When I started my youtube channel my moto was 'YOLO' - you only live once' and that was back in the early 2000's - that was when I hit the travel road. You have a wonderful way of reaching your viewers, your story telling and honesty are appreciated by all. Leaders of countries could take a lesson from you. thank you

My father is furrier so I can have this things like belts, some fixes etc. for free but yeah here in Czech we usualy have small shops inside supermarket where you can go to fix your shoes, to do new keys and stuff like that with belt. I think it is very similar like in Russia. Also I think it depends on the prize of the belt or other stuff tbh.. there are cheap ones and I dont think much people care about fixing/tweaking it - maybe I´m wrong but for them there is this variant, and then you can have better quality or luxurious and definitely we have some special shops for this too but it cost more of course (10 usd and more maybe).

Thanks beautiful Svetlana.

Absolutely love your videos and I love whenever you don't have any makeup on you are such a beautiful woman so natural

A very fun vacation!

Glad you are doing good 👍☕

I love your videos!

Lovely to see you again Svetlana 🙂

Very beautiful video Svetlana😃🙌🏻🌹☀️🌹thanks for sharing

FANTASTIC.

I love the content that you always put out.....more power to you....

Thanks for showing. Love the moment.. You speak English very well.

Wow, it looks very nice ❤

Sending love from America 🇺🇸

Amazing beach day

Yahoo.. finally I see a Windsurfer 😊🎉 an amazing part of the World innit

Spasibo ❤

Hi Sveti, another good impressions about Sotchi, very good video. All the best to you from Germany🤗🍀🥂

You are correct. There are people in other countries they put their feet in the aquarium To let the little fish nibble the dry skin from their feet and legs etc. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Excellent videos by the way. Keep up the good work

Thank you :)

American here, to repair like leather or belts you would have to go to a shoe repair shop or find someone online indepentantly that has the tools and just works from home. For needing like clothes fixed or sewed you would just go to the dry cleaners. A lot of dry cleaners in america will also fix garments.

You are absolutely amazing . Much love from Virginia USA

Love your personality,my life,so proud of you.shamim💙🫂🐦💘🤰🤱

You can be movie director nice editing and narrative!! Excellent job!!

What a lovely relaxing video! Thank you for this 😊

Thank You Svetlana for this interesting video♥️🤗♥️

Esvetlana...llevame contigo...es hermoso el lugar!!!

OMG la vignette… the pose … exquis ! 😊

Hey Svetlana! To answer your question about getting things fixed. In the US people generally go to a show repairman and he will fix belts and bags as well. It's probably not as cheap - I would say probably at least $10 for the belt but that might also depend where in the US you'll live. Hope this helps! I love your videos ❤

Your husband is looky to have you lol . I hope Russia will be a happy and free country again we're peaple love to visit on holiday in the next 20 years or more.

I love your videos

Enjoy

Love and prayers

Thanks for the video. Hope you are doing well. Paddleboarding looked like fun. Someday maybe you can do that in Florida. I think you would enjoy our beaches. Stay well and be safe.

Always nice to see what you doing Svetlana…Thanks for sharing your day …💕Alex🇬🇷

You Russians have more respect for your country than the UK I never see litter

Looks good Svetlana! From Russia with Love! America is friends with Russians!😊

Russia is such a beautiful country.Wish that more Americans don't know about that

You would love the beaches in Australia, golden white sandy beaches instead of pebbled darker sand. Bananas grow very well here. 👍

Gorgeous❤

❤❤❤

To get a leather belt resized and modified in Holland, you would have to find a shoe maker who'd be willing to take on the job. Most of them won't feel like it so it will end up to be over-prized once you have found one, willing to do it. Manual skills are being looked down upon in The Netherlands, generally.

Nice to see your laissez-faire attitude towards life. With a touch of elegant sophistication 🤏🏼

Watching your videos is a calming relief from all the negative stuff we get here in the US, keep up the good work Svetlana we love you!!

Beautiful Svetlana, inside and out!! 😍 🙏🏽

Keep up with your traditional values in the great Russian Federation! Hope to visit your country!

Cool :)

Hi Svetlana it’s lovely to see you again, if I had known you needed a companion early in the morning I would have been there for you, I’m very much a morning person assisted by a special coffee, I always find your content so compelling and as usual you let us see what the surrounding area is like and your music choice is so nice, it was lovely to see you immersing yourself with the ladies in your life too, I haven’t tried paddle boarding so far but that will change when I go to Auckland for my Christmas vacation, looking forward to your next adventure thank you ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

My first year of college in U.S. i almost started taking Russian. Regret it as i always thought Russian ladies were so intriguing and exotic! Luv your channel. ❤️

IN Australia we have a thing called Mister Minit in Shopping Centres that often do things like that, cut keys, punch belt holes &c. I think Hardware stores can do it easily too.

Lovely to see you again Svetlana. ❤

In Cincinnati, we have Mt Lookout Shoe and Purse repair. The company has been around for decades. I’ve had boots stretched there and a leather camera light meter holder repaired there. Nice folks. Great craftsmen. I think in the US it might run a little more expensive as you’re supporting an independent business and it might not, depending on the craftsman and how busy the shop is.

i Love here❤️❤️❤️

No, I have never been able to get leather work redone without leaving it for some weeks. Kind of envious that you can get it done so quickly in Sochi.

I like it

Great 👑❤️

Beautiful Noggies! I cant wait to go back to Russia!

boiled fruit + sugar = jam I think. Nice houses along the river, make me think of Thailand a bit. Look good, nice tan !

Your weather in Sochi in September is the same as Southern California in November.

Hello Svetlana, We always enjoy Your videos, Best Regards From Dominican Republic, In DR the prices are still reasonable for repairs and alterations. ⛵ ⛱ 🌞

I did the minnow foot thing in China. It was as good as they say .

Here in Quebec Canada you would have to go to the cordonnier "shoemaker" for your belt, it would cost almost the same price, it costed me 8$ to replace a strap on my dog's harness and he did an excellent job.

Thanks

5:49 It's nice to get up early and watch the sun coming up especially if you're at a nice beach. ⛱️ 🤔 I didn't realise that was you on the board just paddling past. 😂 🍑

Surfs Up Svetlana!

8:15 Bread,, butter, 🧈 home made cheese, 🧀 , 🥚, salmon, avocado, cilantro. 🥪😋

So relaxing to watch and thank you for posting. Oh I think that you can lose you leg when having a Pedicure but only if the fish are Piranha.........................

I am going to visit Russia one day.

😘

❤❤❤❤

Very nice 👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻❤

Always wanted to visit Russia! Hope to see it some day.

🥰🥰🥰

Hi Svetlana! Your airplane earrings are so funny! The fish (Garra rufa, the only species authorized for "fish pedicure") remove dead skin cells, calluses, eczema and psoriasis. But also warts. It works by micro-sucking (they don't have teeth 🦈 ;-) and an enzyme they secrete, dithranol, which is also used in creams, ointments, pastes in concentrations of 0.1 to 2%. Eczema and psoriasis are absolutely not contagious, contrary to legend. Warts, on the other hand are contagious. For this reason, Svetlana, it's always a good idea to check the level of hygiene in the beauty salon and, if possible, that of the salon's regular customers.

Having belts, purses fixed here in Pennsylvania(PA) is about $.25 per hole needed. If you go to an Amish harness maker & give his wife a Russian recipe idea, you'd get it for the Amish price of $.10. I have my 2 work belts made for me for $2.50 each, my work coat and vest were made for $10 each (but they are Amish pattern).

Regarding resizing the belt, it depends on wear you purchased it. If it were purchased through a high end retail store they would probably do it for free, especially if you had already paid a lot for it. However, if you just take it to a tailor they might charge you a few dollars if they are just punching another hole in the belt for you. Or they might do it for free.

Bela, simpática, independente e magnífica sou sua admiradora, me chamo Sofia te assistimos de um vale isolado cercado de montanhas com mais de 4000m de altitude, para chegar aqui só a pé ou a cavalo e vivemos como antigamente a não ser pela antena de internet por satélite! Para ir a um supermercado é necessário um dia de viagem e por mais surreal que seja o lugar onde vivemos te assistimos e curtimos seus vídeos desde uma casa ilhada por rios de águas termais com cachoeiras cristalinas no coração da selva andina!

fruit compote is boiled fruit and suger

What you need to understand is we pay a lot for fuel. ⛽️ that affects everything we buy very negatively. Everything is expensive here. I was shocked to read that in Japan you can buy a new car for $15'000. Here it's $50'000AUD or higher for a mid sized car. Toyota Corolla like base model 30K. 😮

Amazing ⛱️👑

I'm not familiar with belt alterations. Congrats to your friend for winning her swim meet.

In America you simply exchange it for the size belt you actually need.
