Car people, get ready — the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show is almost here! Coming to the LA Convention Center on December 1st through December 10, it’s 870,000 square feet of all things auto.  The LA Auto Show is THE place to go if you love cars or are in the market to buy a new one. This huge one-stop place will be full of opportunities to get up close and personal with over 1000 cars, including exotics and specialty customized vehicles, test drive or just shop. It’s a wonderful, easy and fun way to comparison shop between different makes and models, including economy, luxury, electric models, SUVs and more. Read more about why YOU need to attend the LA Auto Show!

On average, people spend four hours wandering this large show. As a car girl, I think I’m going to be spending more. I drive a Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, so I’m all about enjoying the fun of driving, not just the vehicle itself. When you spend as much time on the road as I do, the ride needs to be comfortable and I need to have easy access to all the conveniences today’s vehicles offer, so purchasing a car is a big deal. The LA Auto Show provides the chance for us all to explore cars, to consider your next purchase and maybe just to dream a little.

I’ll be attending, courtesy of SheBuysCars, the pre-show press event called Automobility: four days of car debuts, speakers, competitions, networking and more, sponsored by Kelley Blue Book. I’ll be hosting at least a couple of Facebook Live events and Instagram stories while there, so be sure to follow along! (I’m being compensated for attending but all the opinions and photos I’ll share will be my own. I can’t wait to show you what to expect!)

There are also options for public transportation and off-site parking to save some money and possibly time in the event there is heavy traffic. (There should be temporary signs up, providing parking directions, so keep an eye out as you get close to the center.) Early entry tickets are available, as well as VIP guided tours; check the website for those prices.

The hours to attend the LA Auto Show are different each day, but it opens at 9am daily except for the final Sunday, when it opens at 8am. It typically closes at 9pm or 10pm, so check the schedule, available here, before you plan your day.

You can follow the LA Auto Show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but you’ll also find links to other social platforms on their main website. If you’re on Twitter, follow @SheBuysCars, #LAAutoShow and #KBBBestBuy for information from myself, other media outlets and guests at the event. SO many cool things will be happening, so stay in the loop!

Here’s a trailer about the show, so you can get an idea of just how big of a deal this show is in the car industry and beyond. With something for all ages, you don’t need to be car-obsessed to attend. (Kids can play video games, test out virtual reality or spend time in a game zone!) I hope to see you there!

Winner must be at least 18 years of age and be a United States resident. One prize per winner. Prize provided by the Auto Show, not me.)

As a person who cannot eat red meat, I've found my As a person who cannot eat red meat, I've found myself so badly missing some of my favorite foods, especially a good taco salad. Now I don't have to miss out anymore, thanks to the new Impossible™ Meat foods available at Rubio's!

Impossible Meat is made from plants, so you can eat less real meat but still get a delicious protein substitute while eating out! It's available in place of the chicken or steak in Rubio's entrees, or in the three below new additions to the menu as of January 6. 

  Impossible™ Taco Salad: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, romaine lettuce, black beans, roasted corn, salsa fresca, tortilla strips, sliced Haas avocado and signature pickled jalapeno ranch dressing.

  Impossible™ Burrito Especial: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, handmade guacamole, chipotle white sauce, roasted chipotle salsa, citrus rice, black beans and salsa fresca in a warm flour tortilla. Served with tortilla chips.

  Impossible™ California Bowl: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, citrus rice, handmade guacamole, black beans, crisp romaine lettuce, salsa fresca, chipotle white sauce with your choice of salsa verde or roasted chipotle salsa.

The Impossible™ seasoned meat has all the protein of 80/20 ground beef but no hormones or antibiotics and it's gluten-free. Seasoned with the same Rubio's signature blend of Mexican spices you're used to, it's delicious! We're huge fans of Rubio's, usually going to our Ontario Mills or Rancho Cucamonga locations, and now we have more reasons to visit because we know everyone in our family will find something they like! So glad to continue to visit and support a restaurant that meets all our dietary needs while always expanding and keeping their menu innovative and healthy!

When you finally get a group photo of all the kids When you finally get a group photo of all the kids in one room but two get cut out and you look like a creeper, you still post it. Life’s short and we don’t get enough time with our loved ones. Take the silly pictures and share them, proudly, no matter how weird they are. This is my crazy family finally together and celebrating a birthday. Mama Bear will do anything for this group.

When I was a kid, I was a nerd. I read anything I When I was a kid, I was a nerd. I read anything I could get my hands on, and one day, it was a copy of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. I was hooked. I knew when the sun would set, when the moon would rise and when to plant what in my tiny garden of castoff seeds I’d find in my mom’s garden. I found an early interest in astrology and loved keeping track of full moons, holidays, tide patterns and more. 

Fast-forward to me being an adult and I still love this book. It comes out yearly and is just as much fun now as it was when I was eight. The accompanying website features snow prediction tools, zodiac profiles, word of the day and so many other things a fledgling gardener or suburban homesteader wannabe can use. 

I also received a copy of the Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook, providing step-by-step advice for vegetable growing success, full of photos for your easy reference. Not sure what to plant when? And where? This book will answer all of your questions for only $15.95. (And the almanac itself is a steal at $16.95.)

Let your inner nerd flag fly high — grab this book and settle in for a read. Then let me know what you think! At the very least, you will have a lot of good conversation starters and you’ll be a great candidate for Jeopardy!
