The Hyundai Genesis G90 Brings Luxury to Our Girls Weekend!

The Hyundai Genesis G90 Brings Luxury to Our Girls Weekend!

At the beginning of the year, I told myself that I would live this year differently. I would take more risk, push myself into spaces that absolutely terrified me, and I would work on being less “busy” and more present. As I was leaving graduate school and saying my goodbye’s a colleague mentioned to me that she’d keep up with me via Instagram. I didn’t think anything of it because we weren’t close friends, but I at least figured she’d  shoot me a text or a quick phone call to ask how I was doing rather than opt to see how…

The 2015 Kia Soul Makes a Believer Out of Me.

The 2015 Kia Soul Makes a Believer Out of Me.

Okay, so I may have had to eat my words after driving around in a 2015 Kia Soul for a week… Back in 2011 I purchased a 2012 Kia Sorento, the dealer tried to get me to check out a Kia Soul and I just couldn’t do it. It was boxy and being marketed by overweight hamsters. I was full of “nopes” that day and couldn’t even believe that someone would even want to take a car like that home.  So umm yea about that. Granted, it’s been five years since I had these thoughts but yo! The Kia Soul…

I drove a Kia K900 and was Left Unimpressed.

I drove a Kia K900 and was Left Unimpressed.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to drive around in a luxury vehicle. Actually this was the most expensive car I’ve ever driven and let me tell ya I honestly believe that car could sense my nervousness. The vehicle I’m speaking of is the Kia K900. My husband and I heard talk of the K900 when I was purchasing my Kia Optima back in 2013. They didn’t have one in stock for us to look at, but we honestly couldn’t wrap our heads around a Kia having the price tag of other luxury brands like Lincoln and…

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport- When Comfort Gets Real

Hey, Everyone! I’m back with another car review and this time it features the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC.  I received this car during one of my more busier week/weekends so the hubs and I weren’t able to jet set around like we were in the last two reviews, but I promise I poked, pushed and testing everything out so that I could give you all the tea.  First off lets talk price. The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander MSRP is around $24K and with added extra bells and whistles can run you around $29K. The particular vehicle I was driving…

I’ve Met My Spirit Vehicle, She’s a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring.

I’ve Met My Spirit Vehicle, She’s a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring.

One big lesson that I’ve been teaching myself these past four and a half months is how to be content with what one has. Of course this lesson almost went completely out the window as I drove around in the brand new 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring for a week. I was immediately smitten by the Soul Red paint color and squealed with delight upon seeing the rich black leather interior with the red stitching. Can you tell I’m a sucker for details?  While I love all of the good physical bells and whistles like the rain sensing windshield wipers…
