My next guest is one of the most inspiring stories.
This is really amazing.
She grew up with dreams of becoming a Michelin star
chef all her life.
But her parents, her friends, and colleagues
told her she could never do it because she
was a terrible cook.
Nevertheless, she followed her dreams
and now, she owns a taco truck on La Cienega with a C rating
from the Board of Health and had two stars on Yelp.
Please welcome Eva Learner.

Let's just do 12 days of giveaways.
[MUSIC - "IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR"]
ANDY WILLIAMS: [SINGING] 'It's the most wonderful time
of the year.
With the kids jingle belling.
And everyone telling you 'Be of good cheer'".
"It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's the hap- happiest season of all."
So good to be back.
Let's show you.
Today is day 8 of our 12 day of giveaways!
And back to help me is my good friend and beauty expert,
Kim Douglas, everybody.
[CHEERING]
Kim.
Yes.
Kim, Do you know how much I love Whole Foods?
You talk about it a lot.
I don't really know.
A whole lot.
Do you know what my favorite thing to get at Whole Foods is?
What.
Well, it's Nut-thins!
Oh, I love it.
You guys, they're crunchy.
They're crispy crackers.
They're made with Blue Diamond Almonds.
And they're perfect for dips.
They come in 14 flavors.
Ellen, you'll love this.
They have no artificial ingredients.
They're gluten and wheat free.
And they're the perfect go-to snack this holiday season.
They're delicious and-- fun fact,
Nut-thin was Kim's nickname in high school.
And this is also true.
You're getting a $300-dollar Whole Foods gift card.
[CHEERING]
All right, Ellen.
What?
You know what.
I know you really well.
You haven't invited me over for a while.
But do you have a mess--
I don't think I've ever invited you over.
But I know it's coming, but do you have a messy countertop?
No.
Kitchen?
No, I do not.
No, it's spotless.
OK, well mine is a little bit extra messy.
And Calphalon wants to help you clear up some kitchen counter
space with their space-saving self-sharpening knife blocks
set.
Wait a minute.
I like you to try saying that five times fast.
I can do it.
OK?
OK.
Space-saving self-sharpening knife block sets.
Space-saving self-sharpening knife blocks sets.
Space-saving self-- sweat-- a bit of shorter than set.
[CHEERING]
Not bad.
Well, these are so cool because they have sharp-in technology,
you guys, and a slimmer knife block that automatically
sharpens your knives with every use.
It's crazy.
You're getting a $250 Calphalon knife set and--
[CHEERING]
Let's go.
All right.
Hey Kim.
Kim, I have a question for you?
OK.
Do you ever shop on Amazon and end up buying things
you've never really needed?
Ellen, literal.
I'm being serious every single solitary day of my life.
Now Ellen, I have a question for you.
Do you ever wake up and think, Oh my gosh,
I would love a waffle.
That's all I want.
But then Portia wakes up and she's
like, "I really want a pancake.
That's all I want."
And then you're thinking there's no way
that I could get out all the pots and pans to make
a waffle and a pancake.
Right guys?
Every day of my life, yeah.
But what if there was one pan that
could make a fluffy pancake and a crispy waffle
into one amazing breakfast?
There, he is!
What?
It's the panwaffle pan!
A nonstick, dishwasher-safe.
Comes apart for easy cleaning.
And I'll tell you, Ellen, I make pancakes.
I really do, every Sunday morning for my family.
And you're invited over.
Do you want to come this Sunday?
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm busy that day.
But Kim was telling me before the show
that she wrote a catchy jingle for the panwaffle.
Sing it Kim.
I will, Ellen.
Persian Ellen love waffles and I love pancakes.
And they are going to come over next weekend for pancakes
and waffles.
You're all getting a $250 Amazon gift card and a panwaffle pan.
[CHEERING]
I'm eating it.
I can't, you guys.
Seriously, Artesi, I have one.
Is that adorable?
I love that.
Great.
They're the best.
All right.
So fun.
All right, well--
All right.
All that we've got that done.
All right.
So Ellen, get this.
My nickname in college was "Blending McBlenderstein".
Blenderstein, I think.
Yep, Seen and Stein.
They did both of those.
Ellen, you know this about me that blending literally
gives me life.
I mean I love blending.
And KitchenAid has introduced a new high-performance blender
designed to control the texture and taste of everything
from soups and smoothies to sauces and dips.
No, no.
Sauces and dips?
Yes.
Yes, yes, and this is going to blow your mind.
It has nine settings in speed and two power
settings for even the most challenging ingredients, Ellen.
Wow, nine speed settings!
Show everyone how fast one setting is.
Me?
OK, this is one.
OK.
Number two.
Three.
Four.
Just go to seven, nine.
Oh.
That's the one.
Thanks, Kim.
You're all getting the $600 KitchenAid blender.
[CHEERING]
These last two gifts, Ellen, are music to my ears.
You know that I love turntables, right?
I did not know that.
Oh yeah, big time, because my nickname in grad school
was "Turntable".
So creative.
Yep, and with more than 25 years of music experience,
Crosley is one of the most popular lines
of record players.
Now this keepsake is a vintage inspired three-speed turntable,
Ellen, that features powerful speakers.
And get this.
It's got a USB port so you can upload all your old records.
Wow.
Wow!
That is very cool.
Three speeds.
Show them how fast one speed is.
Never mind.
You're all going to get this Crosley turntable, everybody.
[CHEERING]
Very cool.
[CHEERING]
And finally, I'll tell you what's
music to my ears, peace and quiet.
Well, that is true.
But in February 2018 Ellen, this resort will unveil the retreat.
It's their newest accommodations,
featuring breathtaking suites, each with incredible mountain
views.
Portia and I have stayed here.
We love this place.
I can't tell you how much I love this place.
We sent Kim there to check it out.
Take a look.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
It's me.
I'm here at the beautiful Miraval resort in Arizona.
I just want to get a little more comfortable.
Miraval is really amazing.
They're all about mindfulness, finding your center,
and experiences that leave you feeling Zen and calm.
[SCREAMING]
This is our new treatment called
OK.
Oh, Kerry.
This is like being in the womb.
It's so calm.
Oh.
How much weight am I losing through this?
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
Oh, wow.
So we're in the bees' house.
Is there any chance--
oh Lord, have mercy, you just upset the bees.
Oh, no.
No, you tipped over their furniture
and you made the bees mad.
That's honey, right there.
That's beautiful.
See what it did there?
It is.
This is our limited edition honey harvest facial.
Oh, I just met some bees.
[VOCAL MUSIC]
Thanks for sending me here, Ellen.
Uh!
Wow!
I feel like I found my center.
I'm Zen and man, is this bed comfortable.
[CHEERING]
I'm telling you.
I loved it.
Worth $4,000, you're all getting a three-day, two-night stay
for two.
