How a Little Chic Car Taught Me To Be a Lady while Driving

It`s been a year since I`m a proud owner and driver of a Hyundai i10. I love the fact that this is a small car – actually not that small – but small enough to find a parking spot everywhere. I bet you`ve imagined me as a small person with a BIG car. #nope #noegoproblemshere

I love the color – Autumn vibed as I love it. The comfy chairs, the audio options. The gas usage is peanuts. Ce mai, imi place de ea maxim.

And it actually inspired me to start a good manners while driving campaign on social media, this last summer. Have you seen it?

If not, here`s a resume. Cause you know me, I`m a list person. #reddressladydancingflamenco

when you`re stuck in traffic and honk like a mad lady – just wait patiently and maybe answer you emails

use the bluetooth system instead of the phone while driving – personally, it will absolve me from many little accidents in traffic

don`t park on the special spots – not finding any other parking place is not an excuse

always get in the car or out of the car with both feet at the same time – yep, Aurelia Marinescu confirms

if you happen to park in front of a gate or garage, don`t leave the car there without your phone number

this is a rule mostly for me because I always do this – DON`T EAT while driving. I remember one little accident I did a few years ago because of that. If you don`t have time to eat somewhere else just park the car and eat

And now, the vanity rules

spray your perfume all over the car

always keep a small beauty kit with a lipstick, a mascara, some wet tissues and a pair of heels in the car – you never knowwwww
a small scissors, a needle and black and white threads should always be there – just in case you have a wardrobe malfunction – I know I often do

have a cashmere blanket on the back seats – sensual and intriguing

But most of all, mes chers (the only work phrase I can succeed in pronouncing in French), a Lady with Manners while driving, drives with her gloves on, no matter the season. And laughs. A lot. Just because it`s charming and fun. Driving. Or driving like a lunatic but we`re not going to do that anymore.
