DFW Auto Show 2016 – Your Adventure Awaits!

This post is sponsored by SheBuysCars & the DFW Auto Show. All opinions are my own. #ad

Eight years ago this week, I packed up my car and moved to Texas. It was right about now, I was traveling somewhere between Vermont and Texas hoping that my car would make it with no problems and the weather would stay clear. After I moved, those wheels kept on turning and traveling became a much larger pastime in my life. My car was getting older and so was the mileage. The envy of a new car was on the horizon and in 2012 my dreams became a reality.

#DFWAutoShow

Over time I knew what kind of features that I was looking for – roomier, long-lasting, sporty, durable, something that I can fit my bike into and a vehicle that I could safely take on my travels for a long, long time! Who is with me? I wanted to hit the road with no worries ALL day and see as much as I could whenever I could. Over the last few years, I’ve done just that and couldn’t imagine my life without a set of wheels of my own!

#DFWAutoShow

This year DFW Auto Show attendees can find the perfect car to fit their needs. With a long list of manufacturers in attendance, everyone is bound to find something that they will fall in love with! With over a half a million square feet of space to view and check out cars, trucks and SUV’s – THIS is the place to dream and shop! Maybe it’s something you never in a million years imagined you wanted or it could even be to see the new upgrades on a vehicle that you currently own!

One of the opportunities available at this years event is the Ride and Drive event. Kia will be participating to the public during the DFW Auto Show’s public days. They will have the full line of models available to for test drives; you can try out a new car with no sales pressure! (Isn’t that the best way?) Kia is known as a “more for the money” brand; the company’s strategy is to give its customers a lot of value (read= luxury, quality and style) for the money. Last year they created James Bond-type ads for the new Sorento. They also introduced a completely redesigned Sedona minivan which is great for the family and those road trips we’re all planning! Summer travel is right around the corner!

#DFWAutoShow

What’s on your vehicle wish list and where would you go in your new ride?!

The DFW Auto Show is open from March 16-20 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas. For more information please visit the 2016 DFW Auto Show website.

Capturing Every Moment with Your GoPro

This shop has been sponsored by Ocam. All opinions are mine alone. #ocam #Zipmount #Spinmount #shop

We all love to travel – the exploration, wanderlust and thrill of it all. There’s something about being in a new place and experiencing a beautiful surrounding that I always want to capture. I’ve recently come across a couple products that will allow us to do just that in ANY situation and from ANY angle – OCAM.

OCAM is a company focused on providing mounts for GoPro cameras. Say goodbye to the awkward angles and random blurr in a third of our shots because we didn’t have the right prop. Only left wishing we had a travel buddy to film us cruising down the trail on our bikes or even grabbing the angle from below as we climb. Take a look!

The Zipmount is exactly as it sounds. Compact and affordable, this mount allows us to place it anywhere that a zip tie will get around. Bike frames, helmets, rails, a bar on our ATV, the options are endless. The security and durability will hold the camera in place for  those fast action shots. 

The Spinmount + Snowspike This is the one fixed mount that will capture every angle possible. Fixed on a snowspike, the mount follows its name as rotates a full 360 degrees and a full 180 degrees of pitch movement. This will capture every angle needed from one location. Say goodbye to laying close to the ground or finding the best awkward prop and “hoping” the camera will stay. This spike will do the job. Frisbee, dog day adventures, sand, snow or rock ledges – this spike will keep all of us satisfied.

OCAM provides compact mounting solutions to your GoPro camera in an affordable and efficient way. Say goodbye to missing the perfect frame. Turn on our cameras, grab our Zipmount and Spinmount and let’s get out there to enjoy our day!
