Mama's got brand new wheels...



Happy 2012 lovelies!

How has the first days of the new year treated you?!


2012 is starting off to be a fabulous year. 
Over the weekend, I finally got to pick up my new car!


I decided to go with a 2012 Equinox :) 
her name is Mocha for now.




I was deciding between that or a Jeep, but to be honest, I literally cannot stand pumping gas or putting money towards getting gas! Therefore, the Equinox was the better option. I'm so happy with my decision and absolutely love driving it!

my favoriteee part?

the backup camera.



Maybe it will help me out so I don't have any "run ins" with any garage doors in the future...

if you haven't heard that story: read here for a good laugh.

..at my expense.


PS-Anyone mildly obsessed with new car smell like I am?!
I mean, what is it about it?
 I have no idea, but I love it.
