Chevy Equinox Offers Amazing Features

Blog· Entertainment· Featured· Reviews

I spent my Thanksgiving Holiday weekend in style while driving around a sleek Silver 2013 Chevy Equinox. This was my first time driving an Eco friendly SUV so I put it to the test. I drove it over 300 miles across the Dallas area, loaded it more cargo that planned and took full advantage of everything it had to offer. Here are a few of my favorite features.

Fuel Efficient

During the 7 days that I had my Chevy, I only had to put gas in it once and with that being said it was on the last day. The Equinox features an Eco button that enhances fuel efficiency at the touch of a button. All you have to do is press the Eco button located on the center console and the power train reconfigures by lowering idle speeds and changes the shift points of the transmission which reduces the electrical load to the engine allowing you to get the most out of every gallon of gasoline.  That’s a whole lot of words for better gas mileage.

Loads of storage

I was lucky enough to have the Equinox during my Black Friday shopping adventures with DigitalMomBlog. I am one of those crazy people on Black Friday that starts at 10pm on Thanksgiving night and will shop til noon on Friday. I brought home over 20 bags of clothes, presents, appliances and more and everything fit conveniently into my Equinox trunk with room to spare, I didn’t even have to use my back seat. Along with the trunk being late, every Equinox comes standard with 18 storage compartments.

Chevy MyLink

Never again will you have to search for the closest gas station, have to use your phone to check the next movie time or mess with your navigation to get to your next destination. Chevy MyLink does all of that for you. Use your touch screen to make your life easier or press your OnStar button to talk to a live representative. I take full advantage of On Star any chance that I get. I’m guilty of calling them for direction to my house even when I know where I’m going. There is something about how nice they are and knowing that there is a representative available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Remote Start

This is one of the most simple features but by far one of my favorite, remote start. I love the idea of my car being started, ready to go and waiting for me when I’m ready. I felt like a little kid performing a magic trick every time I used this feature. I would start my car the second it was in my site in the parking lot after shopping, in the morning time when I was in a rush, to impress my family and friends, and to be honest sometimes I would start it even when I wasn’t going anywhere just because it was fun. It may not seem that amazing to read about but I dare you to give it a try!

Looking for a bigger SUV?

Digitalmom took the Chevy Traverse for a spin while I had the Equinox. Some of her favorite features included the in-dash USB port, the entertainment system and the rear electric plug and and video inputs. I must say, I took full advantage of each of those while I rode along with her during the week. Digitalmom has stated that the Chevy Traverse is the perfect alternative to a mini van. For the full article, jump on over to her site and read her Chevy Traverse Review. 

A big thank you to Chevy for letting me test drive the Equinox all week long!

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

Order directly from their site your from your favorite delivery service!
I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
