How to choose the right road trip vehicle
Sponsored Post | Choosing the Right Road Trip Vehicle
Holiday road trips are awesome leisure and adventure with your family, friends, or even just by yourself. But before you start that engine and head to your destination, make sure you have chosen the right vehicle for your road trip!
Here are some tips from road trip experts about the things you should consider when choosing a road trip vehicle:
1. Pay attention to the gas mileage
Different vehicles have different gas consumption rate. Whenever you decide to go on a road trip, make sure that you know the distance you will be traveling as well as the type of road you will need to drive through along the way. Generally speaking, an average vehicle reaches 25.1 miles per gallon of gasoline. Considering this, you can decide which car is better for your planned long drive.
2. Consider the storage space needed by the passengers
Storage space is very important when considering which vehicle to use when going on a road trip. You can decide on which better car to use with regard to the storage space needed by the whole members of the trip. Are you traveling with a baby or with children? Are you bringing some equipment with you like bicycle or maybe waters ports vehicle? Are you traveling with storage containers or coolers? Are you traveling with your pet? You can can maximize the storage space to fit all the passengers’ belongings plus some more stuff you can buy on the road. Make sure that the vehicle is not over loaded though.
3. Make sure the comfort features of the vehicle caters to the comfort needs of your passengers
Safety is already given when you are choosing any vehicle so I did not include it here anymore. Comfort, on the other hand, even though already a main consideration for any vehicle just like safety, should be discussed in detail especially for the comfort of the passengers. Is there enough leg room for the tall passengers? Or on board entertainment both for the young and the young at heart? Road trips can be very stressful if the children especially an infant is stressed most time of the trip. So the comfort features of the car you’d be using must cater to the needs of again, the members of your trip. The comfort of the driver is also very important as brought by even the simplest feature such as user-friendly navigation app, high-end audio system for the background road trip music.
Parting words
Whether you’re going to be on the road for a day or a whole year, choosing the right vehicle for your trip will make so much difference in terms of the happiness you’d feel about your journey. Remember to consider gas mileage, storage space, and the comfort features when choosing the right vehicle for your road trip. You can also look into some reviews of car models on cars.com to really help you in your decision!

Shawill Lip Color in No. 002
I wouldn’t say I’m a make up expert, in fact I often seek advice from my sissy Charm Suerte (she’s an awesome make up artist by the way) regarding beauty and cosmetics but I do love to put make up on whenever I attend events (or whenever I feel like doing it).
So today I went out to run some errands then came across this lip stick. Actually, I went to the department store to buy Argan oil for my hair but couldn’t find one. Can you recommend a good product please? Anyway, back to the lippy talk. I thought Shawill in shade No. 002 – that is a deep flirty red – is lovely.

I have used the red matte lip stick of etude house. I liked it but I had difficulty removing it after application. Shawill No. 002 is also a little difficult to remove but I like the semi-matte finish.

Shawill lip stick has natural carotene and is enriched with Vitamin E (according to their website) which provide lasting nourishment, natural shine and softness to the lips. Sounds pretty good. It’s affordable at a price of PHP 188.00.

Have you used any Shawill lippy product? How is it? What’s your favorite lip stick?
