I have used my American Express points to buy multiple cameras, shoes, and, of course, bags from Neiman Marcus and Saks. Amex is really spreading the love this December; their Rewards just got even better. Whether a chain-accented Michael Kors bag or the sleek Apple TV (so gifting myself that), you can use your points to buy it all! I am constantly amazed at friends who don’t know how to cash in their Amex points for purchases or gift cards, I live for points and use my Amex for everything, even my phone bills, just to get more points!
Tech Snob Rich will be getting the iPad with Retina display from Kelly and me (he picked it out so I’m not spilling a secret), and the gadget bug has gotten me, too. Accessories are always nice, but I am currently obsessed with the Vitamix blender Kelly got me for my birthday. It is life-changing. I didn’t think I would even use it, but I’m taking advantage of it several times daily! If you splurge on one thing for yourself or a loved one this season, get a Vitamix!

Tina, how do you use the vitamix? I just got one from my aunt for Hanukkah, still sitting in the box. I was contemplating returning it.
Hi Julie! I use it several times a day. In the mornings I throw fresh kale, a slice of melon or apple, chia seeds and 6-8 oz of water in it and blend. It’s delicious! Or Almond milk/cashews/dates/cinnamon for a mid-day energy protein shake!
I love my vitamix! Julie, I don’t know how Tina uses hers but I make smoothies every morning with fresh fruit and yogurt! It also makes soup though I’ve yet to get that adventurous.
Ok ladies, you sold me. Keeping my vitamix.
Who knew I would get vitamix recipes on bagsnob.com.
Tina, I have been following your blogs since you and Kelly started, and I adore you ladies. Time for foodsnob, don’t you think?
XO Julie
Hi Julie, I know you have! So happy you’re still with us. We have lots of exciting announcements coming up in the new year
re: Vitamix- you can put in water and chicken with veggies and herbs and it makes chicken soup! Crazy! The friction creates high enough heat to cook it-! I watched the demonstrator make chicken tortilla soup- he said to cheat and use boiling water and it cooks faster. it was delish!!!
foodsnob…. it’s a thought ! xo
I’m one of those. I don’t know what to do withh my points.
yea great Work
Tina, thanks for an amazing blog! Im searching for a new handbag and fell in love with this Michael Kors satchel posted on this page. Cant find it on the michael kors site though (: Does it have a name? Thankful for help!
Love, K
