Hands-Free Access

Ford has thought of everything for the woman on the go with the Ford C-Max Energi! This car is an all-electric, plug-in vehicle with a hatchback that pops open with the wave of a foot. Of course, we’re sure your hand will also work, but just imagine how convenient this will be when your arms are full.

Whether you’re loading up groceries, the kids’ sports equipment, or a few essential items from your favourite designer boutique, the C-Max Energi offers easy access and plenty of space! Although the Energi means that you can bypass the expensive gas stations, the C-Max also comes in a hybrid version if you’re not completely comfortable with an all-electric car.

The Freedom of the Open Road

There’s nothing sexier than a woman in a Jeep with the top off—off of the Jeep that is, not the woman. Now that the Wrangler has been updated with more current instruments and electronics plus a better steering wheel, it’s a little more driver friendly.

So throw on your shorts and tank top, put your hair back in a ponytail, and slip on your favourite shades! This summer is the perfect time to take your new Jeep Wrangler out topless with your favourite girlfriend for a day of freedom on the open road.

Unparalleled Luxury at an Affordable Price

If you love the comfort of a luxury car, but you’re not so wild about an oversized sedan, the new Buick Verano might be the perfect car for you! This luxury compact is small enough to easily park in the tightest mall parking lot, but still offers many of the same amenities as the much larger models in this upscale niche.

With a European suspension, the Buick Verano handles just as well on the open highway as it does in a crowded shopping center. What more could anyone ask?

Who Says Girls Can’t Get It Done on the Track?

If you’d like to go green and attract attention, Porsche has the answer. As you pull off the lot in the new Porsche 918 RSR racer with the classic styling this brand is known for and a 560 horsepower engine hidden under the hood, no one would ever guess that this beauty is actually a hybrid.

Although this car isn’t really designed for the road, who says a woman can’t enjoy her own time on the track? If you love speed, don’t ever settle for the passenger seat.

Whether you’re spending wisely and looking for a traditional family car, a sporty utility vehicle, or a sexy sports car, today’s woman has plenty of choices in the 2011 auto market- sites like Edmunds will help you contrast and compare.

What will you be driving this year?

Slowing down is critical for getting into the mindset of luxury living. When you are wrapped up in work or speeding through your days, you don’t have time to appreciate the rich textures of your 1,000 thread count sheets or the sheen from your granite countertops. Taking a few moments each day to marvel at the fine designs you’ve purchased for your home, wardrobe, and vehicle, will help you appreciate them all the more.

The next step is learning to think selectively about the luxuries in your life. Instead of focusing on the pieces that are missing from your luxury collection, focus in on the fantastic pieces that you already have. This will keep you from sucking the joy out of your collection with unwarranted longing, and help you remember that you don’t need to have it all – you just need to have a few of the right things to enjoy a luxurious life.

A final step for getting into the mindset of luxurious living is treasuring the memories associated with each product. You remember the work you went to in order to get that fine art for the wall, or the special sale that let you bring the lush floor running into your living room. By focusing on the joy of the acquisition, you can preserve your accumulated delight in your possessions and keep your psyche charged up for accepting nothing less than the unique, the special, and the truly luxurious for your life.
