Joanna Gaines has proved that she's as "normal" as the rest of us after sharing a "real" look inside her life.
The Fixer Upper, 46, is busy preparing for Christmas like many others and typically loves to make her own festive candy.
However, earlier this week she shocked fans when she lost the urge to bake and found an interesting way to hide her half-hearted attempt, which you can watch in the video below.
Standing inside her incredible kitchen, Joanna said: "I had every intention today of getting after it and baking and making all of the Christmas candy that I always love to do every year.
"Then I woke up and was like, 'You know, I'm just not feeling it', but [I] also have some friends coming over tonight and had to hide everything. Let me show you how you do that. Let me show you the trick."
Joanna then revealed that she stashed a plethora of ingredients inside her dishwasher and cupboards underneath her sink to hide the mess from her friends while also avoiding cleaning up.
Captioning the video, she joked: "Some tips and tricks if you are hosting this holiday season..."

A third added: "This is so funny and real!" A fourth said: "Atta girl. Real human moment right there."

The family of seven has lived in the home for almost a decade and Joanna has shared glimpses inside the stylish property in the past, revealing its open-plan layout and stunning interiors.

She has also shared a look at her country chic living room which boasts several plants procured from her sister's plant shop, including Staghorn Fern, Dragon Tail, Monstera Lechleriana, Red Congo Philodendron, Sweetheart Hoya, Peperomia Hope, Jungle Boogie Philodendron, and a Fiddle Leaf Fig.

Joanna loves her home and is very proud of the work she and Chip have put into restoring it, so it may come as a surprise that she was not sold on the purchase at first.

The owners allowed the couple to mill it over for a while, visiting frequently. "The kids would run wild while Chip and I sat beneath one of the oak trees that towered over the backyard," Joanna said. "The more time we spent out there, I'd catch glimpses of how good it could be for us."
