2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatch: The Car That Could

December 21, 2016

No one really looks forward to Monday, that is if your Monday is a getaway to Palm Springs with the new 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatch. Then, yes, bring it on!

I recently had the privilege of driving the new 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatch on a getaway to Palm Springs. I have been living in California without a car for a few months now. I have been itching to get my hands on the wheel. What a better excuse to get away from the city, than with an amazing car and some of the best group of friends.

Nowadays, to get anywhere you need a great buddy with an amazing sense of direction. I am glad the new Cruze has 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot installed to help me avoid California traffic as much as possible. The ride to Palm Springs from my place in Los Angeles only took under 3 hours with LA traffic and that is not bad at all. With all the amazing features the new Cruze Hatch has; Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Park Assist. I felt very comfortable and safe on the highway while jamming to an amazing playlist connected onto the Cruze.

The extra hour in the car ride was needed as I did not want to reach my destination without testing everything this car can do! The car is comfortable with extra leg room for the driver and passengers. The Cruze Hatch is smooth and so zippy! I love the speed that it gives. It can be a sports car when it needs to be.

As I arrive at my destination, getting around Palm Springs was a breeze. With the Chevrolet MyLink, it organises and integrates my technology so I can enjoy every ride smoothly and quickly. The Cruze Hatch can definitely handle any bumpy road and tight spaces as I made my way to the Indian Canyons for my first hiking experience....ever.

My experience with the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatch has been amazing.  It gets me to my destinations on time and safe. This car is so convenience and practically for me to driving around California and it's infamous traffic.

HP Sprectre: Create Your Life

October 5, 2016

Behind every photographer is a great camera. But behind every blogger is a powerful laptop that can do it all.

It has been over a month since having the HP Spectre laptop and I cannot express how much this laptop has enhanced my daily life. I can say I am obsessed with it. Being an entrepreneur in the creative industry you will never know what kind of job you will get. Being quick and alert is the best way to get those jobs. Working for myself requires me to be on my laptop at all time if I want to keep getting jobs and keep my clients happy. That is why I always travel with my Spectre because it is so thin and I can just work from anywhere I need to be.

Travelling with the Spectre has been amazing. Most of the time I forgot that I have it with me because it is so light! I am always on the Spectre putting together mood boards for projects, pinning outfits on my Pinterest, finding inspiration, scouting locations, drafting up my next blog post, and editing photos. I can easily do it all on the Spectre. But most importantly, the Spectre has challenged me to go outside my comfort zone and be more creative. It acts as my creative outlet by giving me tools I need to do.

I hope that when you get your Spectre laptop, it will give you the creative push you hope for and help you reshape and reinvent yourself with each click.

Swissgear: Your Go-To Brand For All Future Adventures

September 1, 2016

Your weekend getaway just got a bit more easier and less stressful. Swissgear suitcases and bags is the best product to hold all your gears safely in one place.

As a constant traveler, one of the main things for me when choosing the right suitcase is how efficient it is. I hate waiting for my luggage at the baggage claim as it can take forever. I am a land and go kind of guy as my trip are usually short. I love my Swissgear 6150 Hardside Spinner carry on. It is light and I can pack so many clothes into it for carry on.  The "Spinner" carry on offers liteweight durability with unsurpassed maneuverability.

Finding the right backpack to carry my laptop and camera while keeping it secured as I move around the city can be difficult. Often times I have to sacrifice quality for function and style for comfort. Finding the right bag to keep all your important tech products clean, organized and protected so you never have to slow down or worry is a rare thing. Once you find that right bag...don't ever let it go!

The Swissgear ScanSmart TSA Laptop Backpack collection checks all of the requirements for me. One of the features I love about this backpack is the ability to breeze through airport security while keeping your computer secured in its compartment padded with high density foam. No more wasting time at the security taking out and putting my laptop back in.

HP Spectre: Unlocking My Creativity

August 22, 2016

Days into receiving my HP Spectre and playing around with the functions. I was blown away by how easy it makes transitioning from blogging to editing photos with just a touch. This laptop is not just known for it's beauty, but the fact that it packs quite a powerful hard drive to handle all my applications.

With its unique and striking look, the Spectre is the talk of the town as it turn heads when you pull it out at the office or coffee shop. It is extremely thin and light, which makes it easier for me to carry it around and not feel like I am carrying a brick walking places to places. Its fast performance and pleasing display helps me edit photos that I know are going to come out beautiful.

Never have I had a laptop that tested my creativity and helps me improve it. With unlimited applications and features that are in this laptop I can never lose my inspiration. Traveling with the Spectre, I turn every coffee shop into my personal office just by how I get lost into it.

Even when I thought I knew everything there is to what the Spectre can do, it always surprises me to when I am playing around with it. I recommend this laptop to all the creative spirits out there! A great investment for your back to school essentials.

HP Spectre: The World's Thinnest Laptop

July 29, 2016

Imagine the world's thinnest laptop; actually nevermind, you do not have to imagine it because it is already here. HP just launched their new HP Spectre laptop.

The Spectre's most noteworthy feature is that it's the world's thinnest full-power laptop, at just 10.4mm thick. Since I do a lot of coffee hopping through-out the day, I do need something that I don't feel like it is a hassle to carry around. It is way lighter than any textbook that I carried in college. That is a fact.

One of the things that caught my eyes when I opened the box was the bold color scheme of the Sprectre. It helps the Spectre stand out a lot to me. HP ditched the usual silver and gray for a dark, smokey gray with gold accents. The entire hinge is a bright, jeweled gold, which just draws more attention to its unusual design (and which picks up fingerprints pretty easily).

Another great feature of the Spectre is that it can multitask between many apps effortlessly. You can run through Word documents and Excel spreadsheets without an issue, and can even handle image editing in Photoshop without really breaking a sweat. Trust me, a lot of laptop would freeze or shut down when handling to many things at once. I have many stories about that, but that is for another time and another blog post.

The Spectre is not a gaming machine, which is okay, because it is not designed to be, but it’s more than powerful enough for productivity work. I love a laptop that can keep up with me and my weird ability to multitask ten things at once (and not freak out). Being in the blogging industry means you have to multitask easily and be a jack of all trades if you want to do well.
 

Follow me on my journey with HP as I master how to use this amazing laptop for work, blogging, editing photos, and among other things.
