My friend and I went to this woman’s convetion last weekend and there was a vitamix booth set up and my friend and I were literally just staring for an hour! We were so intrigued and wanted one so badly, but… They were just a bit out of our price range. THIS WOULD BE AMAZINGGGGG if I won because I would share with her! She and I make recipe videos all the time and this vitamix would be the MAIN event!
