Catching up with where we have been | Getting ready for Christmas drinks | Vlog 19th December 2022

[@tiachantelou119]

Please continue to share because you heart my soul. Your kindness, your sharing of recipes and your friendship is invaluable to me. I have watched you since just before Covid and I continue to watch you because you are both genuine and loving and relatable. ❤

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

We both love this so much. Thank you for always supporting us

[@robyns2858]

Love watching your blogs so please keep them coming. You got me very emotional too thinking back to my past struggles with body image and mental health that I've had. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks so much Robyn 💜

[@Rosielovesmusic]

I 100% agree with you, Erika. The way someone looks does not indicate if a person is healthy. I've felt the same way when people made comments about my weight loss saying I looked nice. I know they meant no harm but I thought how about rather than commenting on how I look, you notice that I am kind and friendly (but I guess this goes against the aesthetic world we live in). Now having put all the weight back on again, it's gone back to comments about being overweight from close family members. Over the years I think I have desensitised to it as I've heard it so many times that I'm better at not letting it get to me as much, although regardless it doesn't make the comments right or acceptable. Stand tall lovely, you have the support of many. Btw, what drew me to your channel was how authentic and relatable both you and Dan are, you are so natural in front of the camera. Basically what I am saying is that you could vlog about any topic (it doesn't matter what so long as it is something you both enjoy) and I think you'd be successful because you both have the ability to engage and connect with your audience. :)

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and your support we appreciate it.

[@lisalou2789]

I think you guys are amazing sharing your lives with people is not easy. Hope you guys are well 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@mnsohseven]

I missed this video somehow! Glad I noticed as I was scrolling tonight to distract from my insomnia. Thanks for your vulnerability and honesty. I’m really enjoying your channel’s transition to vlogging. You two have made such a cozy home together. I really hope to meet someone and create a similar life. Although you may struggle in certain areas, you really seem to be thriving in others (such as romance haha). Thanks for sharing!

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much!

[@tynealmichelle6878]

I’ve had weight issues my whole life and I understand where you are coming from 110%. You are and always will be a beautiful person in body and soul.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you we appreciate your support.

[@tamasinskyeshehata2840]

Merry Christmas Dan and Erica. Such a graceful setting of boundaries. You did that so beautifully, by showing your vulnerability but also your strength xx

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you. Erika didn't really see this as setting boundaries, but your comment help her see that.

[@lotsoffun-jb1es]

Keep being yourself, I has said before if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything. You girl's are a breath of fresh air ❤️

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you. Unfortunately a lot of social media is more about how mean can you be then kind. We appreciate all your support.

[@neilbrooks4402]

You ladies are nothing but brilliant!! Shine on and continue to share xx

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much!!

[@MsMedley56]

Merry Christmas to both of you. I enjoy all your videos. You guys are awesome to share your life and beautiful home.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much!

[@pisceslady3633]

I hope you had the most wonderful Christmas.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks so much.

[@heatherread6058]

Hope you both have a wonderful day filled with happiness and joy. I truly wish that what people see when they look at someone is if the person has a kind and loving heart, which you do, take care ❤️

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks Heather. If only Erika could see what we all see.

[@carolynscott5299]

Thank you for all that you did in the Real Medicine community and all you do on your Social Media Channels. I have the upmost respect for your forthright courage. Never accept criticism, it’s irrelevant, negative and unnecessary and is a special low form of cowardice. Comments from keyboard warriors are unwarranted. Keep doing you! Your are both amazing!

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Wow, thank you!

[@dianalarkham6764]

I am so sad to see you so upset by the negative comments people make. I struggle with my weight too. You are such a kind and beautiful person. You are such an inspiration to me. Sending big hugs

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much Diana. The negative comments do definitely hurt.

[@blissbelle2167]

I’m watching your video the day after Christmas, we had a lot of family over for Christmas, and seeing the two of you clean your home makes me realize that I need to stop watching videos and get to cleaning. 😊 Have a Happy New Year!

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Hahahaha! Thanks Belle

[@Rotuma7]

I watched you guys in the beginning due to keto, however haven’t been on keto a very long time now yet continued watching you guys as you are a fun couple and I enjoy your vlogs whether it’s keto or travel etc people need to think about what they comment and to remember to be nice! All the best guys xo

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much. There are a few good travel ones coming out soon.

[@jodiemitchell1242]

Loved watching this video, this showed us your real life and real feelings. Keeping it real ❤️❤️

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks Jodie

[@donnayob6337]

Sending love and hugs to you both. Just keep being the blessing you are to others Erika, I love the fact that you are real, never think you have to apologise for tears, whether happy, sad, or pure emotion. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Can't wait to see what 2023 will bring for you.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much!

I hope you both had a lovely Christmas! I really enjoyed seeing how your garden is growing and I didn't realise you could get an orange flowering gum, I think I would like to have one in my garden as well. Thanks for sharing your day.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you! You too!

[@coreenaschwartz7676]

Merry Christmas! Erika, it really hit home to me when you spoke about people commenting on your weight. I completely understand where you are at from experiencing this myself, receiving comments from people about both putting on and losing weight. Sending you lots of love 💗

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you. Thanks for understanding it is not jut when you put on weight but lose it too.

[@clairecasey5571]

Erica, sorry

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much

[@MsCraftyCreates]

Merry Christmas to you both. It annoys me no end that people are so insensitive and hurtful. I've missed your content, I've learnt so many new food ideas, I've never even given it a second thought. I have had weight issues all my life and I totally get it, hugs and love to you both. Here's to a wonderful 2023 for you both

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Honestly I think some people genuinely think they are being helpful and others are deliberately saying things to me mean.

[@elenis.786]

Merry Christmas!!! I loved catching up with both of you, and pissed off that people have been insensitive to the point you felt it was better not to vlog. I enjoy any content you post because of who you both are:). I found your channel years ago with Keto, since then your channel has evolved...as people do. Cheers to you both!!❤

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks Eleni. Your support means a lot to us. ❤️❤️

[@tracy3812]

You have to feel a bit sorry for people with venom in their blood. It must be a terrible existence.

[@daniellacosta1756]

I'm so sorry Erika, I understand how you feel. People think we don't have mirrors or put clothes on every day. We can do without the comments. Love your vlogs because of who you both are, can't wait for the next travel one 🙌

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you Daniella, that is so kind of you.

Thanks Julz. We always appreciate your comments.

[@tracy3812]

Happy that you’re back?? Hell yeah!! I’ve been missing you-it’s like I “know” you both & Scout & Gem, too. Your weekly vids got me through chemo. Erika, I’m bereft and livid at the comments these feckwit trolls make. It’s bec it’s online-they’d never say this shizz to you in RL. (Dan would throttle them.) it stems from their own insecurity/self doubt which makes it their problem. I was interviewed by Shawn Baker MD about keto & chemo and some turd commented on the way I spoke. Why waste the energy on anything negative? Please make more vids. I missed you both & the other HBWT fans.

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thanks Tracy. We love your support and comments and love that you always make the effort to watch all of our stuff. Even in the middle of the night.

Merry christmas to you both, and yes, we are so happy you are back. Erika I totally get where you're coming from. Having weight issues my entire life, it's a struggle every day, but can I say you are way braver and stronger than me!!!!! The fact that you continue to put yourself out there shows that. Don't stop. I love seeing what you're both up to, I don't care about keto or diets. And I'm so glad you have booked another trip. I'm looking forward to seeing Hawaii through your eyes. I hope ur having a wonderful day with your families 💗 🎅🎄

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

We are so excited to be going to Hawaii again. We love it so much

[@Aaajjjjjjjjj]

So good to see you girls back. ❤❤ to you Erika, body image struggles are so unbelievably difficult and having people comment on how you look is, a lot of the time, more damaging than they realise. You’re both spunks with the personalities to match (though I know as someone with body image issues that goes in one ear and out the other haha). Sending love to you both ❤️

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you so much. Erika loved your comment so much she read it out to me in the car. ❤️

It’s been 7° F (-13 C?) here-- I’d welcome humidity now, lol… love when you can fix home catastrophes pretty easily…Dan, it’s so easy to ferment your own pickles… one of the few things I do well! Water, salt, garlic, dill and better than anything you can buy…Hope you had a great Holiday… I hate that people have hurt you…this is why I love My cats more and more… I feel like you both are fearless in life, you have built a beautiful life and home together…don’t let these internet warriors get to you… they are not important in your life…much love…M

[@HaveButterwillTravel]

Thank you❤️. I will need to try doing my own pickles. It's annoying how we can easily focus on the bad comments and not all the good ones.

[@1002478]

Hi Erika, sorry you’re upset. I cannot fathom why people would make comments like that except to say that it is an obvious projection of their own insecurities. I don’t know how I stumbled upon your channel, but I really enjoy it. There are not too many Aussie/40ish😊/ lifestyle channels like yours. I find your monthly faves really Interesting and helpful - also your travel content. Thanks for your hard work!❤

The first night here, i could not get enough blankets on me but, today (boxing day) we are sitting in air-con, lol...Erika, Sweetie, I totally understand where you are coming from. People don't see to understand how hurtful words are (or, they pretend they don't know anyway)..What abetter world it would be if everyone was judged on their hearts and deeds rather than appearances...You are a beautiful soul and that is what rally matters....I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I look forward to hanging out with you both again in the next vlog..xx
