Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards – My Little Car Buying Secret




This post is sponsored by Kelley Blue Book on behalf of Everywhere Agency; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards - My Little Car Buying SecretWhen it comes to buying a car, sometimes the process is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Many times, I’ve had my heard set on a certain make and model only to find out later that it’s not the most practical vehicle for my family. My husband’s SUV is getting older and it’s time we start the car buying process all over again.  Since buying a car is a huge commitment this time around, I want to put a little more research into our purchase to make sure I’m getting everything I need in a vehicle.  Purchasing a car is major investment and there’s a lot that needs to go into the decision making process. I’ve done my fair share of car shopping over the years and my little car buying secret is an easy one. I’m turning to one of my trusted guides – the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards for help in making my decision a little easier.   [Read more…] about Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards – My Little Car Buying Secret

2018 Chevrolet Equinox Turbo Diesel – A Stylish Compact SUV

This post is in partnership with Chevrolet. All opinions are my own.

2018 Chevrolet Equinox

While it may officially be Spring, the weather here in New Jersey still hasn’t got the memo yet. Take for instance the day this gorgeous 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Turbo Diesel was dropped off. It was almost 60 degrees out and we promptly loaded the kids in this sharp look crossover and headed to the park to enjoy the gorgeous weather. It was short lived though. A few days later, snow and lots of it hit our area.  Almost a foot to be exact. It rare for me to get to test out these vehicles in both nice weather and snowy conditions so this was a bit of a treat.

5 Reasons to Love The 2017 Toyota Corolla

 

This post is in partnership with Toyota. 

Is it me or do the holidays seems to go by faster every year. Maybe it’s because I’m a year older or maybe it’s just as simple as there is so much on our calendars now that it just makes the time seem like it’s going faster. Either way, I feel like I blinked and it was over. If you’re following me on social media, you may have seen our holiday adventures in the 2017 Toyota Corolla. Whether it was a holiday light show or just finishing up holiday shopping, the Toyota Corolla was my side kick for a week and I put it to good use!  [Read more…] about 5 Reasons to Love The 2017 Toyota Corolla

Road Trip Diaries – National Harbor in the 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

This post is in partnership with Toyota and our experience with the 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE.

Road trips are kind of our thing right now. We live in a great location here in New Jersey making so many spots on the East Coast all within driving distance to us. It makes it easy to hop in the car for a fun weekend getaway up and down the coast. Our latest adventure took us to the National Harbor for a stay at the Gaylord National Hotel during the opening weekend of ICE! But there’s so much more to the National Harbor that just had us begging to get out and explore. Lucky for us the weather was glorious and made it even more fun to spend time outside exploring the area. Anyone who frequently takes road trips will tell you the key to a successful road trip is the vehicle you’re driving in. For our little getaway, we were spoiled by the 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE.

Road Trip Diaries – Hershey/Harrisburg in the 2017 Toyota Highlander

Road Trip Diaries - Hershey/Harrisburg in the 2017 Toyota Highlander

One of our favorite places to visit here on the East Coast is Hershey, PA. There’s Hersheypark, Hershey’s Chocolate Factory, ZooAmerica, Hershey’s Chocolate Factory (did I saw that already lol), I mean if the chocolate alone isn’t worth the ride, I don’t know what is. But honestly, there’s SO much more to do in the Hershey/Harrisburg area not just all the chocolate fun. Our latest road trip to the area showed us why Fall is the perfect time of year to visit and there’s no better vehicle for the ride than the 2017 Toyota Highlander.

  • #ad Whenever I’m out in the sun, whether it’s the beach or chasing the kids around the park, my one summer must have is my @cerave Hydrating Sunscreen. UVA and UVB rays both come through clouds and UVA rays also come through windows! So it’s important to use broad spectrum protection. I put this on every day before my makeup. #CeraVe Hydrating Face Lotion SPF 30 is a 100% mineral formula that contains ceramides to lock in moisture and restore the skin barrier, as well as hyaluronic acid. And niacinamide to help calm skin. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and has been allergy tested. Grab a bottle and don’t leave home without it no matter where your summer adventures take you! #CeraVePartner #ReflectToProtect • • • • • • #suncare #skincare #protectyourskin #beautyproducts #beautytips #travelmusthaves #travelmusthave

  • This guy just had his consult for @invisalign clear aligners. (AD) We found out at a recent dentist appointment that he needed orthodontic treatment to correct a few issues with his teeth. You can notice it a little bit in his smile in this picture but pretty soon you won’t notice it all! He had his initial consult, was fitted for his Invisalign clear aligners and he couldn’t be more excited. It was amazing to see the 3D images showing his teeth currently and then after the Invisalign treatment. There are so many reasons WHY we chose this treatment for him and we can’t wait to start! Check out all the reasons why we did in my new blog post [just click the link in my profile]!

  • #ad This one is an important topic for the ladies! We all know women’s health issues don’t get the attention they deserve - so it’s time we start addressing taboo topics. Millions of women suffer from heavy #periods that dramatically affect their health, confidence and quality of life, but many women don’t even realize that heavy bleeding is not normal. A recent survey found that 85% of women agreed heavy periods were “just normal,” and 69% agreed that pain is “something to be expected.” And more than half of women who experienced troubling symptoms also never even discussed them with their #doctor!
