We picked up my new car!

Hi guys and welcome back to the blog ♥

If you follow my Instagram and/or my YouTube you'd already know that last week we picked up my new car.

And I love her!

I must admit I was super nervous at first driving her as technically she's not that much wider then my Ecosport was, but she is longer, but to me she does feel bigger.

I'm slowly but surely getting more used to her everyday. It does get easier every journey.

If you remember we ordered the new Kuga back in December on Christmas Eve - you can catch up with the post here. 

We bought the car from the Ford dealership in San Miguel de Salinas. We've used another Ford dealership in the past for our last two Fords, unfortunately the customer service really went down hill from the showroom and service department, which to be honest really put us off. But I really liked the Kuga and didn't want to cut my nose off despite my face, as the saying goes. 

So we went to the Ford in San Miguel and we were assisted by Frederick who has been brilliant the whole way through and has really restored our faith in Ford. Nothing was a problem, he made us feel welcomed, happy, relaxed and a valued customer. (which we never got elsewhere)

When you're spending that sort of money you want to be felt looked after and valued. I'm sure it's also important for the dealership too that the customers feel valued, I think anyway. You want your customers to be repeats and continue using you for service and parts. It's all about the forward thinking, like in most businesses I guess, but we've noticed it doesn't always happen.

I am so chuffed we found a good dealership though and a great salesman in Frederick - we hope he never leaves Ford, so we can keep going to him!

My new Ford Kuga is such a lovely car. She feels so smooth to drive and is very modern with all her apps and big display which is like an iPad. I think most new cars have all this now, but it's great isn't it. Mine is also a hybrid. I'm really not convinced on all electric cars or plug in hybrids to be honest. Mine is a self charging one so it automatically switches between electric and fuel. We filled her up over a week a go and haven't had to top her up at all since. With all the electric charging she has actually gained more kilometers to use! It's going up not down which is fantastic. 

It took me so long to decide what car I wanted next and I'm so pleased I chose the Ford Kuga. She really is an excellent car. Looks good, drives good, has all the modern bells and whistles, 10/10 from me for sure!

I just need to work on my confidence regarding her width whilst driving along narrower streets. Oh and parking too, but to be fair I'm always nervous with parking and always try to park furthest away anyway. I find it less pressure if you end up faffing around getting into a space, you get extra steps in and hopefully keeps your car away from possible dinks from other people and cars.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend and let me know if you have a Kuga too? or have shared the same nervousness when first driving a new car, please let me know I'm not alone!

Anyway guys, thanks so much as always for stopping by the blog and see you next week.

My experience with Emdogain

  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Skincare routine revisited + Beauty of Joseon review

  Hi guys welcome back to the blog ♥ Hope everyone's well and having a good week.  * * * Back in January I shared with you what skincare products I use daily and I mentioned I had bought a couple of new items which I would report back on. Here's the  link  to that post if you wanna quick read. About a week or so after writing that post I really started looking at my skin and to be honest it wasn't looking quite right. I always seem to have a red nose and red chin which does bother me. I don't drink alcohol very much at all, literally a glass of wine a month, if that, so it can't be alcohol related. I'm thinking maybe some sort of mild rosacea maybe or maybe it is my skin reacting to the products I use. I went on good old ChatGPT and that suggested I literally strip everything back basically and just use warm water to wash my face in the morning and minimise the products I'm using on my face. When I entered what I was using it recommended to stop using the to...

My daily beauty products

  Hi Guys, I hope 2026 is treating you well so far. In my previous  post  I mentioned about some beauty products I had just started using and I will report to you my thought's in due course, but it got me to thinking about the products I already use on a daily basis. My bathroom staples if you like, the go-to's.  It's something I'm always curious to know, what are the products on peoples sinks, their everyday toiletries. Not the ones that maybe an ad feature or collaboration, but the ones that get popped in the shopping basket week after week, month after month. The products that may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but always make the cut. I'm not going to go through every single product I use, 'cause quite frankly you and me just don't have the time and if you're anything like me you haven't got the attention span for it either. But I am going to show you the main players that I literally use everyday. Some I do switch up according to price and ju...
