I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for American Express Serve. I applied for the Serve Cash Back card to facilitate my review and received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. With the holidays fast approaching, we’ve been buckling down on our spending. Getting our finances under control …
For the most part, I am not a hostess. It’s just not where I shine. Introducing people and keeping drinks filled up (and offering one to begin with…) just don’t come naturally to me, and I find the whole party-throwing process to be kind of exhausting (even though you’d never know it by all of my …

I didn’t like using them to track my points. I missed the little journals they used to pass out in the old days (like …
