4th OF JULY MIGHT BE OVER BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE FIREWORKS!!

"You want fireworks, I'll show you fireworks!!" Remember that line from Sex and the City?? Samantha's ex was insistent about showing fireworks. How insistent are you on seeing fireworks? 4th of July has come and gone, a Holiday most associate with fireworks but the misconception is that fireworks only exist on this day.

A MUST-DO TIP TO ENSURE A FUN ROAD TRIP WITH THE KIDS ...#HEELSTOTHEWHEELS

My roll dawgs aka my children, and I just recently had the pleasure of hitting the road in the 2015 Buick Encore for a trip to Lawrence County in New Castle, PA. Nestled between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Lawrence County is just a gas tank away from Washington, DC, literally. Lawrence County has many attractions which includes being the "Fireworks Capital of America." While the kids and I had a blast taking in sights from participating in a Simple Life Amish Tour to getting up close and personal with inhabitants of Living Treasures Animal Park, if you're a Parent such as myself, you know that half the work is prepping to hit the road.

I CAME, I SAW, I WENT: SIGHTS OF THE 2015 WASHINGTON AUTO SHOW #WAS15

It's been a little over a week since the 2015 Washington Auto Show came and went and I'm still swooning! Whips and more whips, and even more whips! And although I'm an Auto Blogger and had an automotive column in Sister2Sister magazine for 3+ years, you don't have to be a car enthusiast to appreciate all that this annual event has to offer which includes

SNEAK A PEEK OF THE UNMISTAKABLE ITALIAN STYLE OF THE @FIATUSA 500 #HEELSTOTHEWHEELS

So I've had the pleasure of whipping it back and forth in the Fiat 500 as of late. Even as a seasoned Auto Blogger, I had many admitted misconceptions about this model be it the comfort, the interior layout, performance, etc. and I'm looking forward to publishing a full review, soon to come regarding being proven right on a couple but mostly proven wrong. Whenever stopped at a gas station, this whip draws attention and I get questions surprisingly from men mostly about everything from how it feels to put heels to the wheels in it to the mileage and handling. One suitor even challenging me to a race. The conversation was hilarious.
But there is a distinct practicality to the Fiat that I can't wait to expose to the masses aka, you, my followers and audience. But for now, come on in and sneak a peek. Do you see what I see?

Just curious, what's the smallest vehicle that you've ever driven?

HOW TO HAVE A SCENT-SATIONAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE ...

Have you ever had the displeasure of catching a ride with someone whose car smells straight up dirty? It makes you just wanna go "phew" or even worse, jump out at the first available stop? Putting #HeelsToTheWheels is that much more pleasurable

IT'S A @BUICK ENCLAVE, THAT'S WHAT I TOLD YA!

You mention the word Buick and the first memory that springs to mind is my Father's old Regal. Note I said old which for most in my generation is the association you make when it comes to Buick. Buick is not perceived as a modern automotive brand that lends appeal to "us", the modern people who not only want a whip that looks good but performs too both outside and behind closed doors (smirk), and has all the bells and whistles and technology we need to manage our mobile lifestyles. Or maybe that's just me. I mean if I recall correctly, my Father's Buick had velvet seats for goodness sakes! What is that you say? Yes, I said velvet. Be that as it may, upon having a chance to put #heelstothewheels in the 2014 Buick Enclave, all those notions just expressed fell by the wayside. I was literally eating my words upon curbside delivery.

ON THE ROAD WITH SEPHORA EXCLUSIVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS AND FEATURING LOVE, CORTNIE

Early to rise and hit the ground running. Pit stop after pit stop, call after call, meeting after meeting. Sound like a day in the life of you? Sounds vaguely familiar to me too. And the evening comes and you remember you have yet another event or appointment that awaits, hopefully more pleasure than business. One can always hope. But you've been so busy putting heels to the wheels, you've

#TBT: MY VERY 1ST #HEELSTOTHEWHEELS VIDEO OF THE 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO

I had actually TOTALLY forgotten that I had even recorded this video! This was my first stab at efforts to further expand #heelstothewheels and I was gaga over this machine. I had a quick window while waiting to pick up a friend so I whipped out my iPad and hit record. And the rest is ...Well, I'm throwing it to you. You be the judge. 

Ok ...Before you provide me your constructive criticism, keep in mind that while a rookie vlogger, I'm serious about my brand LOL. All jokes aside. Like I said, this is a throw back and my "first stab" at doing a video auto review and my first time using iMovie to edit the video. I chuckled while watching myself for the first time in a long time, describe this whip. 
Take it easy on me ...But if you have tips, I'm all ears.

After having watched, did you get a feel for the driving experience of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado?

WHAT'S IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF YOUR RIDE? #HEELSTOTHEWHEELS

I'm always ripping and running, moving and grooving. And the number of essentials items I tow with me when putting heels to the wheels, is seemingly growing. I glanced over at the passenger seat of the featured vehicle of my latest chronicles, the 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid and noticed

A HYBRID VEHICLE MIGHT BE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, GASOLINE AND ELECTRIC #HeelsToTheWheels

I'm probably stopped every other day and asked if the Eco Hybrid label on the side of the 2014 Kia Optima means it's electric and if I have to hit up charging stations in order to drive. Electric vehicles although becoming more popular, are still considered a novelty it seems while Hybrids are mainstream. Perhaps you are wondering the difference between the two, too.
