E!: Are you an impulse shopper or do you prefer to plan ahead?
CM: I’m definitely both. Amazon offers fast shipping when you’re a Prime member. If you have the option of getting it the same day, next day, or in two days, why wouldn’t you impulse shop?
Sometimes I do hit that “Save for Later” button when there are things I’m just not quite sure about or if I’m just not ready to pull the trigger yet. I definitely have an extensive of items I’ve saved for later in my cart.
E!: Do you have any shopping strategies that you recommend for the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
CM: Sometimes, when I feel like I’m lost and I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for, but I know I need to shop for a specific occasion, I use Rufus. It’s a tool located at the bottom of the app. It’s Amazon’s AI shopping assistant.
If you type in a ballpark idea of what you’re looking for, like “Easter tablescape,” it can bring up a bunch of related items. That helps get your ideas going to narrow down what you might specifically be looking for.
E!: Summer House episodes often include a glimpse at the many Amazon boxes outside. Which cast member typically places the most orders to the Hamptons house?
CM: Probably me, or I feel like it’s either me or Kyle [Cooke] with the most packages on the doorstep at any given time. It probably is me because they’re always like, “Ciara, you have an Amazon package. Ciara, another Amazon package.”
You know we love a theme! Amazon is the go-to for our theme party shopping. I’m telling you, Rufus is such a great tool because our themes are so all over the place—I never even know what to type in to get started.
