Have you guys ever heard people say that everyone in California drives a hybrid? Well, that’s not necessarily true but a lot of people in California do drive hybrids. At least it seems that way anyhow. I went to San Diego for my bi-annual visit this past December and Toyota was kind enough to lend me their new Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited during my trip. And guess what? I fell in love! The only other hybrid I had driven up until this point was the Toyota Prius which wasn’t my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Prius but it just doesn’t have as much pick-up-and-go as say my BMW. Driving the Avalon Hybrid Limited was such a different experience from the Prius though. I felt that the drive was VERY comparable to that of my BMW or any other high end luxury vehicle. It was able to get up to speed quickly and easily and the drive was extremely smooth. My mom even mentioned how she felt that it drove like a luxury vehicle while she was riding in it.
Road Trip to Cincinnati in the Toyota Camry XSE
As many of you may have seen on my Instagram, last week we took a road trip from Cleveland down to Cincinnati to watch the Cleveland Indians play against the Cincinnati Reds. The trip was sponsored by Toyota and I cannot even tell you how needed this trip was for us! Ever since moving across the country life has been a little bit of a whirlwind so it was nice to be able to not worry about anything for a couple of days and just hit the road.
A few days prior to leaving for our road trip Toyota dropped off their brand new Camry XSE at my house. I honestly didn’t even think the car was a Camry. It’s like the sportier, sexier version of the Camry most of us know. I was totally blown away by how nice this car was. From the double sun roof, to the WiFi (yes, this car had WiFi!), to the aerial view back up camera – I gotta say I was super impressed.
Feel Confident in Your Clothing | NYC Edition
Feeling a little refreshed and ready to go today after a quick weekend in New York City. I always have such a great time when I visit NY and this time was no different. One of my favorite things about NY definitely has to be the food. There are SO many options you really can’t go wrong. The best thing I ate all weekend was the Lobster Roll at Gaby Bar in Midtown. Guys, it was DELICIOUS. I definitely recommend it if you are going to be in NY anytime soon!
Ancient Retreats | Seaside, FL
About a week and a half ago I was lucky enough to go on a little beach getaway with the Ancient Nutrition team and Dr. Josh Axe. If you guys aren’t familiar you can check out his site here – you will be amazed at all the cool health and wellness related stuff you’ll find there. He also has a product line called Ancient Nutrition – and if you’ve stepped foot inside a health food store lately you’ve probably seen some of his collagen or bone broth protein products. I’ve been using 1 scoop of the Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen protein in my coffee every morning which is beneficial in keeping you hair, skin, & nails looking their best. It also provides join support – you just can’t go wrong!
Gingham Days
I’ve been back from New York Fashion Week for a full week now and still sorting through all my photos! I wore this outfit my first day in New York, this top is actually a dress but I paired it with some distressed jeans to help me stay warm once the sun set. I am excited to wear it as an actual dress next spring/summer – it will be the perfect vacation or weekend dress I am sure and is on sale now if you want to check it out here!
Vacay Mode
Does anyone have any fun vacations coming up!? I am dreaming of a fun vacation but not sure if that is in the plans right now. I think having a 4 month old and going back to work next week pretty much means I don’t have a vacation coming up anytime soon! I am thinking of planning a trip to Italy for next spring though! I have never been and definitely want to go before having any more little ones.
