Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards Winners and Drive Event #KBBBestBuy

This post is sponsored by iConnect Influencer Management and Kelley Blue Book. While travel expenses are provided, all opinions remain my own.

Last week I was able to spend a couple days in beautiful Newport Beach/Irvine California. Even though I wasn’t there to take in the ocean, weather or the breathtaking sunsets, they were an added bonus.  What I was there for is to promote the 2nd annual Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards (say that 10 times fast). The trip started off with meeting about a dozen fellow bloggers, PR reps and some of the reps from Kelley Blue Book at dinner. We went to an amazing restaurant called Fig & Olive. After that it was back to the hotel for a few hours of sleep and a big day ahead.

2016 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards

When I was young I loved cars. I remember wanting the smallest fastest car, because we all know as soon as we turn 16 that’s what we get to drive (in our dreams). As I got older and became a mom, I slowly wanted a bigger and bigger car. It was more about comfort and space than it was about speed and small size. This coming week I get to spend some time in California  with Kelley Blue Book learning about the best new cars for 2016.
