As I share my adventures with you. Hello, Crimbo Diary Pod coming to from La La Land. First ever Christmas in America. Usually in the past, I've always driven home, not driven jeeps. Can you imagine flying Los Angeles to Australia. I've always flown home to spend Chrissy with the fan bam. But as you know, Dad came to La kind of around his birthday time, which is around the twenty fifth of November, so we kind of had a Christmasy hang with him. So, because I took a fair bit of time off work to hang with Dad and then to do that TV show in Florida, I worked.

Pretty much for a big chunk of Chrissy.

I got Christmas Eve off and Christmas Day off, worked Boxing day. Boxing Day is not a thing here in America. I think that's a very British, Australian and maybe Canadian thing, but definitely not an American thing.

Mum sent over a gluten free, dairy free pudding and we made her famous brandy cream, but we subbed it out with this spiced whiskey that we found at Traded Joe's, which was so yummy. It was literally like nine dollars this little bottle of spy with spice whiskey. It's quite sweet but oh so delicious, so yummy, So we had that. All the food was amazing. We tried a few crimbo flavored foods from Traded Joe's, just like kind of like Christmas Eve. Christmas Day, we got these gingerbread sandwich cookies really good, but like definitely high in shugs and probably got seed oils and all that. So we were like, we just tried to keep our indulgences just to Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. So we both started feeling really inflamed, you know when you eat too much sugar and you feel really like, oh your skin feels funny, you don't sleep right, all that kind of thing. And then we also tried these. I took a photo of them. They're like they're called it Jojo, which is essentially a Trader Joe's version of an Oreo, but it was the peppermint bark kind of one and it was.

It's all behind the scenes of making the movie, like the In the late sixties, there was a movie called The Midnight Cowboy and it's got Dustin Hoffman in it. Anyway, it's all behind the scenes of the movie and essentially like shooting the movie. So that looks really calls by an author called Glenn Frankel, and it says it says here Shooting Midnight, Cowboy, Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation, and the Making of a dark Classic by Glenn Frankel, best selling author of the and High Moon Illuminating Definitive account. Someone said, okay, so there you go, made that look really cool. We got that for our friend, and then I got like, I don't know if this happens in Astray, but Sephora had a massive pre Christmas out and so I got loads of pressies for our Ala buds there as well, because Sephora obviously has such great skincare and makeup. So that was my crimbo shopping. Now you would have had Dennis Walter on the pod on Monday, mister Christmas himself, who he did. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Melbourne Carol's by Candlelight, which we stream, by the way, because that's part of my Christmas tradition. And this Monday's EP, the one that's coming out next is actually going to be a nutrition episode with me about festive wellness, like finding that balance I think we lose track of like the day the time I'm like health and all that, especially between this weird period of between Christmas and New Year, and so I just wanted to give some like little bits of tips and tricks for festive wellness and kind of like finding your balance and little health hacks when you can still be indulging a bit, but also like still staying healthy so that when it comes to like early jan and New Year's resolutions and all that, you don't feel like you're like, oh my goodness, I've just eaten so much and drank so much over the last three weeks, you know what I mean.
