I'm a city girl but I LOVE a good roadtrip, and especially before my fall schedule gets packed with holiday activities, I like to leave town for a little getaway! Growing up, my family was all about camping and taking roadtrips, and I remember my dad ALWAYS checking the oil before we left the house! Even now, when I drive home to Oklahoma or chat with my parents before going on a trip, my dad always asks "How's your car? Have you changed your oil?" Every. Time. haha!

Let's not pretend that I know how to change my own oil. I don't! BUT I do know how to check it and it's the one thing I do before I leave town on a roadtrip! Thanks, Daddy! haha! Luckily, I have some solid men in my life in Dallas who are always willing to help out since my dad lives 5 hours away! The ONLY time I think about changing my oil is right before I'm about to go out of town, so of course, when Shell reached out about producing sponsored content, I knew that it was the perfect opportunity for a little getaway with the girls!

I stopped by Walmart to grab my essentials: mallows, grahams, chocolate, and oil, duh. I bought Shell Rotella Gas Truck Oil because it's currently on Rollback #RotellaGasTruckRollback and it helps engine performance during off-road conditions or if I'm doing any towing in my SUV!

Huge thank you to Shell for working with me to sponsor this city getaway!
