Planning of a new car next year…

“This is a sponsored post. All opinions 100% mine.”

This is not 100% conversation with my other half. Since, the Dodge van we have right now doesn’t need a lot of repair, however, getting a better car for our daily routine activities.

We do take good care of our things, especially those that we knew we truly needed. Whenever there are small problems, my husband makes sure that we take the van to the shop and get it fixed right away before the bad things comes. This way, have gotten the van repair and be optimistic to have less problem in the future.

Anyways, things don’t last evermore, especially those that we use often. Just like the van right now. It does great on the road and we have no problem about it, yet we still plan to get a much better one in the near future.

There are other ways to find the best arrangement, just like if we decide to have it trade-in, or not. Sometimes, when you come across someone to buy the old vehicle for you it is another way. We would rather put it up for sale to someone we be acquainted with since we know they will take care of the van just like we do.

Then, it is our duty to find a great deal of vehicle once it is sold. We have a few local shops in the area, though, hubby is more unwavering to discover the best deal not just in local but as well as online. And of course, we aren’t just concern about the car itself, nevertheless, we would like to make sure that it is also good and safe not just for the driver but for the our children and our passengers as well.

And since we still have a growing toddler, it’s best to know about car seat safety, whether the vehicle we pick would fit in the car seat as well as for the children. A quick knowledge about car seat safety from Cars.com in which I do find every interesting. 

A KEY to his Honda Civic LX

Located Under , · at
This is the key to my husband’s new ride. Other Honda but this time it is much newer and looks even better than the 1995 Honda Accord that he acquire.
He has been looking for a nice with decent price car two years ago, but couldn’t find the one that likes that most. Of course, he’d like to possess another Honda again because we all know that this kind of car would last longer and it has the car features my husband is looking for.

I know nothing about cars, I know how to drive them and I finally know how to put liquid in its power steering in case it gets low. I need to learn more about cars as I do drive one.

Anyways, after a while the my husband finally found a few of the Honda cars, the Honda LX is a coupe. I like the color, [which I prefer white or red] very clean and all.

He found this one at Lockport, NY and asked his big brother to test drive it for him. Got an affirmative too based from what he experienced.

Went there last July 21, 2016 to fully paid the car. No more monthly payments and off we got the car on it’s decent amount.

I like it, I have driven the car for many times and I like it. I feel like I’m driving a sports car and that’s kinda cool to experience.

Protect Packages While Shopping

Whether shopping for the holidays, heading to the mall for back-to-school clothing or running errands around town, consumers often leave packages in their vehicle unattended. Sometimes, it is easier to run a handful of bags out to the car rather than struggle with them while wandering the mall. People may have several different stops to make, requiring them to leave newly purchased items in the vehicle. Many people believe that if the packages are stolen, their car insurance will cover the cost of them. However, this may not be the case.

Comprehensive Coverage
When you obtain car insurance quotes from an insurance agent, you will be given a price for comprehensive coverage. This coverage is designed to cover damage to your car as well as the loss or theft of any equipment attached to it, such as a radio. However, it will not cover the value of possessions within the vehicle. In most cases, homeowner’s or renter’s insurance may cover the lost valuables, but even they have limits as to what is covered. Some homeowner’s policies only cover up to ten percent of the property value, although the average coverage is between 50 to 75 percent of the coverage amount of property within the home. The policies also have deductibles which could be as high as $500, which may prevent you from replacing those items.

Credit Card Protection
One way to protect purchases that could be stolen from your vehicle is to file a claim under the free protection benefit offered by many credit cards. Most cards cover purchases made by the card within 90 days. American Express covers up to $1,000 per loss for some of their cards and does cover losses in vehicles. However, some credit cards exclude items stolen from vehicles in their protection plans, so it is important to read the fine print.

Secure Your Car
The best way to insure that your purchases are safe is to secure them properly in your vehicle. Park as close as you can to the store or mall, preferably under a street lamp. If you are driving a small car, avoid parking between large vans or SUVs when possible so your car is more visible. Police say that the majority of thefts from vehicles occurs because the car was unlocked. Close all the windows and lock the doors, including the sunroof. Don’t leave valuables visible in the car. Place phones, music players and GPS devices in consoles or glove boxes. Be sure to place charging cords in hidden areas as well. If your car has a trunk, place all packages in the trunk out of sight. If you drive an SUV, use the cover that often comes standard to keep  the packages hidden. If you carry packages to the car and return to the store, move to a different parking space, if possible. Criminals may be watching vehicles and you return to the store indicates you are not leaving soon.

These tips can help keep your newly purchased items safe from criminals, whether it is bags of holiday gifts or groceries for the next week. By being aware of your surroundings and understanding limits of your car, homeowner or credit card policies, you can be better prepared the next time you visit the mall.

I'm talking about a website I have recently discovered. If you need parts or accessories for your vehicles, you don't need to worry and shop from one store to the other to find a great decent price. An online shopping is what you should also try in order to see what other companies can offer you when it comes in finding the right parts for your vehicles. 
 

Have you heard about Xtralights? If not, then you should visit the website and see what I am talking about. You can shop by HID/LED BULB APPLICATION CHARTS, or SHOP BY VEHICLE and SHOP BY BRAND they have it all available online.

No hassle for you and knowing that they have experience with automotive retail and wholesale business since 2003 it's not a shock that their customers are rapidly growing. You may visit the website or call now at 250-984-8055 to learn more. 

When things go unexpectedly

It wasn't supposed to be the busiest day this noon for the family. Have to get up around 8am to get ready for my partner's long-waited toe appointment. It went well, just have to get him to work as he is needed to fix some works they had previously. As for me and my son, we have to give my MIL a ride home after we drop off the man of our house.

When all of a sudden, the car broke down. This wasn't the first time it happened. First was earlier this week when I received a very unusual text from my partner him being home from work that early evening. He never mentioned it in detailed that time, until he got home as he was given a ride by his sister.

I would say, today would be the second time around when our 20 years old Honda Accord broke down to us. I mean, it would be a blessing that hubby is still with us when the gear breaks all of a sudden.  Now the fun part begins, of course we are on the road heading to my husband's work, when one of his co-worker was there and helped us push the car towards the side of the road.

Give as a quick ride to their shop, and from there hubby needs to get to his work and my son and I were left in our old apartment where I am very thankful that one of my husband's sisters went to a rescue. She did save us from getting our home safe as well as to my mother in law.

Sometimes, you can't please fate. It's a matter of how you deal with it and call out for help to the family you have in life.

How to connect your iPhone, iPod, and smartphones to car radio the Bluetooth way My Review + Giveaway

My husband and I both love music and one thing we ensure whenever we have road trips is to have a good CDs with us to play while on the road. Sometimes there are bad signals when you use FM stations, and since there are places that is hard to reach by those stations we prefer to have a continuous music instead. A nice way to enjoy while on the road is to be able to get a good FM signal, in case you are want to listen to other music aside from the ones you brought with and using a Streambot Y Bluetooth FM transmitter could give you a satisfying signal.

Another thing that I am concerned about while on the road is the outgoing and incoming calls, we can't tell which one is emergency until we answer a phone call. Holding your cell phone while driving is way illegal and prohibited by law as it cause a lot of accidents and we don't want that to happen. That's why the Streambot Y Bluetooth is not only for an FM transmitter, but can also be used for calling someone while on the road. The installation of this device is very simple, all you have to do is to connect the 12v power plug into your car's cigarette socket. Press the multifunction button about 2 seconds until the blue indicator light flash, that's how you turn on the device and press the same button if you wish to turn it off.

Turn-on the FM transmitter is very simple, after you press the multifunction button on, you need to turn on the Bluetooth function of your phone and search for the Bluetooth devices and select "MPOW". After a successful pairing, the blue indicator light will be always on and tune the car FM radio frequency to an unused FM Station and enjoy your music through the car stereo.

My observations, the pre-set phone will connect automatically when turns on. To have the best audio quality turn the volume on your cell phone and FM transmitter into the max level or normal level you are using. If the noise is too loud, you can always find other FM frequency.

Now the fun part, as I mentioned that you can answer a phone call through this transmitter as well. For iPhone users, press the multifunction button and press the "Answer" button on your iPhone and check your iPhone call menu. Find the audio source and select the transmitter "MPOW". For Android users such as Samsung, HTC, Sony, etc. Press the multifunction button and press the "Answer" button on your phone.

It's fun to have this handy transmitter with you and enjoy the FM transmitter, playing music from your iPhone, iPod or any Smartphone devices in a Bluetooth way as well as answering phone calls, rejecting and ending calls in one.

You may find this very cool in-car gadget which comes with hands-free calling, music control, and charging port @ Mpow Streambot Y Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter, you may also find more amazing products on their website by visiting http://www.xmpow.com/.

It's your chance to win a Streambot Y Bluetooth FM Transmitter from MPOW. I am hosting a giveaway starting June 27, 2014 12 AM EST. Come back on June 27, 2014 and join this exciting prize.


This is NOT a sponsored post. I received the Streambot Y Bluetooth FM transmitter product from MPOW for free in exchange of my honesty review. The outlook I expressed is 100% exclusively mine.

The Ultimate Car Travel Kit For Mothers With Young Children

Located Under , · at
If you ask any mother of young children about taking their kids out in the car, they will tell you that it is crucial to have a car travel kit of some description with you that’s always available when you need it.

Kids by their very nature can be somewhat unpredictable, so the last thing you want to do whilst you are on the motorway with your kids in the back of the car is to not be prepared if one of them becomes ill during the journey or is ‘caught short’ and cannot wait until you pull over to the nearest services so that they can go to the toilet!

There are also times where children may have injured themselves, and you have to attend to a child screaming in pain from a wasp sting or accidentally cutting themselves on sharp objects on their travels, for example.

Apart from having a practical car to offer comfortable journeys for you and your young passengers (check this website out if you don’t have such a car yet), here are the essential items that you should have in your car travel kit.

5 Questions to Ask Yourself before Purchasing a Car on Finance

Located Under , · at
If you are planning to buy a car on finance there are some issues you need to consider before you arrive at the car sales yard. If you turn up on the showroom floor without having done your homework you may very well be talked into an impulse buy. There is nothing more tempting than a showroom of gleaming cars and a convincing salesperson will seal the deal with you in a matter of seconds unless you are well prepared. You should do the decision-making before you even begin searching for your new car.

How Much Can You Afford?

This is the first and most important question you need to settle before you buy a car. What is the absolute upper limit on your spending? Work out how much you can afford with the help of car finance by calculating your current expenses against your current income. It is a big mistake to go car hunting before you have done this calculation. Many people fall in love with a car and then try and work out a way to get enough money to buy it, thus spending more than they can comfortably pay back.

Once you have worked out how much you can afford to borrow, do not go over that amount. Be sensible. Don’t make an emotional decision based on desire. Fix the amount in your mind, so that when you see that sparkling new USV that is outside your price range, you will be able to say no. People who buy more than they can afford often find themselves in financial difficulty in the future.

When trials in life hits you…

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Allstate for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I remember it was late summer of 2011 when I and my hubby had the scariest day of our life. It was around 3:00 in the morning, that our 2 years old has a bloody nose. He must have known that he wasn’t feeling good that’s why he's being uncomfortable while sleeping. He was unease on the bed that night which caught our attention.

We took him to the Emergency Room for that’s the easiest and earliest way we can get a hold of a doctor. After hours of being in the ER and nurses helped the bleeding stops, they finally got the results back and we were both startled. We couldn’t believe that our son is nearly dying because of very low platelets. We have no idea what’s going on since he is perfectly fine if you look at him physically. Plus there were no symptoms to be seen on him before the incident happens, until his purpura [red dotted spots on his skin] turned purple. This causes very low platelets. We were sent to a better hospital where doctors who specializing this kind of illness will have an immediate access to our son.

I was hoping that it would not be a permanent illness; I know for sure that it might be a side effect of getting these mandatory vaccines for school requirements. I know they should make your kids feel better; still not all of the things contain in the vaccine should be given to your kids. It should be their immune system who fights for the bacteria that is inside them.

Anyways, I am glad that what happened to us, to our son is a short-term. It is a viral infection; he got sick of being sick, which what mostly doctor, said. It is somewhat deadly if we didn’t take him to the hospital immediately, for he will get to the point of bleeding internally due to the low platelets.

I guess, there are reasons for all the things happened to us. We are thankful that God never leaves us. Good Hands for the Good life as what they say. We are lucky and contented as we’ve been taken care of those good and Strong people who know what they are doing. I am delighted that after what happened to us, it helps us grow to be a stronger family.



Just like Allstate Good Life, you know that you are in good hands with them. They will make sure that everyone is taken care off. You should be looking for this kind of car insurance; for they make sure you won’t be worrying about anything anymore, since Allstate will be taking care of you.

It is very popular to rent a limo service when there is a major occasion happening. I remember my very first limo ride, 3 years ago. We were going to see Lean Rimes’ concert in Seneca Casino. I was very excited for at last, I would be able to see her and listen to her voice live. It was one of my dreams come true. 
It was my brother in law who rented the limo for us, of course I ask my husband to join the company. Even though it is not the type of music he likes to listen, he still came for me. The first ride makes me feel like so popular. It feels like you are also one of those VIP guests at the said concert.

While going through a random website I came across in an online store about getting a nice grand prix performance parts for your car from ZZPerformance. So, I was intrigued about how this thing works. I have not owned a car so I have the least amount of knowledge when it comes to cars especially when they are talking about pets. Nevertheless, I would like to learn as I have recently passed my Driver’s License and I am able to get my own car sooner or later.


Moreover, you might be tired of purchasing some parts that won’t last, expensive and low quality. Would like to buy a good one, where until it has the same performance only they are cheaper, as well as in good condition when it gets to you?

I have seen many cars with awesome printed designs on their car. They improvise and create their own customized design. I was wondering how and where they have these ideas from. For someday, I do plan to have mine also customized. But for now, all I did was to search for a car magnet printing. I lead to a website that would help me look for the printing shops in my place. They do have awesome and quick reliable research results. That means, I don’t need to keep searching for it shows the accuracy and open shop’s location. Pretty cool, huh! Something you wish everything is. It doesn’t give you too many ads while searching something. So if you would like to look for printing places in your area. Why not check out Printing America for sure.

Now that I am back from a very long vacation, it is time for me to browse another car for the family. Since we move to a longer place than we used to, it is necessary to have another car in the family. That would take me to any appointment and errands without bothering hubby and his car.

One thing that I will probably consider getting is a Toyota car. I have no clue about cars nor parts but checking out the best resource for oem Toyotaparts online or in store would be one thing to learn. It would be mandatory to learn more about car parts in order to know them once we need to buy spare parts for them.

Driving without car's wiper

It is been awhile since I've drove my hubby's car. I need to practice for my said road test this year. I do hope that before Winter I will be able to get the test. I still have to master the parallel parking and the k-turning. Anyways, so last Sunday I drove the car with my husband's presence of course. At night, I was told that I need to drive back home too. It was a 50-50 decision for me because, the car doesn't have the wipers back and it was drizzling. Hubby told me to just drive fast and with the chemicals he put on the wind shield waters won't stay on it. So I did and tried. It was pretty hard I can't see the road clearly plus those post lights blinds me bad. I have to make sure that I will be on the road. With cars coming on the other ways isn't helping at all. So, I give up I don't want to crash our car with my whole family with me. Before we get home, I decided to switched with my husband. Glad we make it home since it was starting to pour. It was an awesome experience though, it makes me feel pro to the road. Although, I never manage to take us home. It's better to be safe than sorry. For now, I have to earn money so I could buy the BMW for sale that I saw on the car company. If I have money.

I am talking about my Sister in law. She came over here today to hang out with me and my son. After running into her errands for the whole day. Since this is her day off she has to make sure that everything is accomplish. She shared to me where and what did she do. Now, she's been looking for a car on her own. She mentioned before that a second hand car would be good for her, as long as it is pretty much in good condition and working well. 

She's been looking for a car since last year. Now that she can afford to get one she's looking so hard to make sure that she'll get a decent one too. She went to the bank and check her credit to see if she's able in getting Car Title Loans. It was a good start up for her because she was told that she needs to build more with her credit in order to avail for a car loan. 

I also wish that she'll be able to get a Car Title Loan that way she will have her own car and she'll end up her car hunting. She even mentioned about the Pink Slip Loans which I really didn't get about all the information. As it seems that it is pretty much positive that soon enough she will get her car soon. And I do hope too.

My second older brother way back in Philippines, really love about motorcycle. That is his passion as other men has. Which is really fantastic, the kind of motorbike he got was a Raider, not the big bikes that we usually seen here in US. Now, as being far away from his wife, and no child yet that is where he puts all his passion for the meantime. Might as well, than thinking of doing something immortal. I could remember that he wants me to check out parts for his baby here but since I am not so so good when it comes to find a good part, and neither Jeff is. I do research online where he can check out even though he is in Philippines. Because he can just shipped it to my address here and then we will send it to him once he got the final order and it would also save him with the shipping. I finally found Rivco. For sure he would love these website for he can check out part where to buy things or other accessories for his baby motorbike. I do am a motorbike lover myself, but Jeff just don't want me to get involve with it as he knows people who died with a motorcycle. He commented that, This is not the same as Philippines, no matter how careful you are other drivers were reckless enough to put you in danger.

Where to find an auto repair

Having a crappy weather lately gives drivers more chance or prone in accident. Even though they are very much careful with the road but since it is really slippery. And when you hit the break it won't bite immediately, that leads you to bumped somebody's car or hit other things beside the road. Which I do find it really dangerous. These reminds me, one night when my husband picked me up at work. We drove all the way to a hill, it is pretty much slippery and I was really freak out. Which by the way, it didn't work at all, have to calm down and husband just figured things out from that horrible road.

And this is what I have in mind? What happen if you don't have insurance for your car?  As going to a body shop is really really expensive. You will be paying it with your own money, I know a body shop where the have an auto repair and has an affordable price as well. Have you ever heard about the body shops irvine. If not this is the answer to your question, they will help you fix everything in your car without giving you headaches of how much would it cost you to fix all the damage. Sometimes good people make mistake, we are not perfect and if you are looking for a great and affordable deal. Check them out now.
