This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max. Christmas is great, but there's loads of ways to make it better.

Like sneaking some chili into the gravy for some extra oint, or building a playlist that will even get your

none up on the table or just cracking open an ice cold Pepsi Max.

Christmas.

Better with Pepsi Max.

Hey guys, Hey guys, we are so close to starting season two.

We have missed you and while our guests are

wonderful and amazing and are a huge part of the Hey Girl family without you

the listeners there would really be no show. We wanted to hear how self-care was playing a role in

which I think is a wonderful thing to do when we are all so spread out across the world.

We will be back very, very soon, but in the meantime please enjoy this many episode of self-care tips from you the listeners
