Thinking of buying a Tesla Model 3? If so, you’re probably like most consumers and typed “Tesla Model 3 review” into Google to see what others’ experiences have been.

Well, I’m glad you did, because you’ve come to the right place. But before I dive into specifics, let me just take a moment to say I LOVE my Tesla Model 3. Like love it.

So now here’s a little peek into my own buying journey.

My Tesla Model 3 Buying Journey

I’ve driven the Tesla Model X plenty of times. Love the car. But $79,990? Ehhhh… that was more than I wanted to spend. So I looked at the Model 3—which came with a much more comfortable price tag. (The 2020 Model 3 is going for about $37,990 right now.)

I’m going to be honest with you, I didn’t test drive the Model 3 before I bought it. In true Millennial fashion, I just ordered it online and trusted the reviews I read about it. (Which is maybe what you’re doing now!)

I bought my Tesla during a promo period with my friend’s referral link. Turns out that was the right move because it gave me 5,000 free charging miles. Basically, that means the first 5,000 miles charged to my car at a Tesla SuperCharger Station were 100% free.

For the first 6 months of having my vehicle, I never once had to pay for charging. Wow, that felt good.

Now, when I charge my car at the SuperCharger, it typically takes 30-45 minutes and costs about $15. (Which, unless you have a really small car, is cheaper than a full tank of gas.)

Tesla Model 3 Review: My Order Experience

When I ordered my Tesla online, I got:

• Long Range All-Wheel Drive, Pearly White Paint, 19” Sport Wheels, White Premium Interior, Autopilot

But then I realized I didn’t actually need All-Wheel Drive. I mean, I don’t plan on going off-road like in those truck commercials. So I reached out to a Tesla store and asked them to change my order on the back-end to just be Rear-Wheel Drive. That simple change saved me $4,000!

I got my car in all white—white exterior and white interior.

Some may think I’m not a good fit for white seats since I’m a “Type B” girl (think of a creative person’s messy room), plus I have two kids. But I went for it all the same.

Lucky for me, my seats are super easy to keep clean. At the Tesla store, they recommended I keep Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to wipe anything away. I haven’t had any issues keeping the seats clean, even after coffee spills.

After ordering, it took about 4.5 weeks for my Tesla to come in—that means from the time I placed the order to the day I was able to pick it up.

Tesla Model 3 Review: Safety and Charging

In all honesty, I feel extremely safe riding in the Tesla Model 3. There have been a couple of times where the Tesla felt me go left-to-center or didn’t think I would brake in time and the car takes over and either swerves me back to safety or brakes for me. Pretty cool.

It does take a moment, though, to get used to charging your car instead of stopping at a gas station.

I’ve talked to people who have used other electric cars, and they’ve told me it’s much more inconvenient because you cannot “supercharge” your car.

Charging a non-Tesla vehicle can take 12+ hours. (I can see your eyes widening now…) And even when I plug my car into a non-Tesla charger, it usually estimates 12-14 hours to a full charge.

SuperChargers don’t take nearly as long, though. So if I’m going to do a full charge at one of those, I usually to do it while I go shopping at Target.

This is why I ended up ordering Long Range, which gives me a 320-mile range. I don’t mind charging my car, but since it does take 30 to 45 minutes at a SuperCharger, I would prefer to do it as little as possible.

Road-Tripping With My Tesla Model 3

I road-tripped from Orange County to Vegas in my Tesla, and it was a great experience—not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be.

When you type an address into your Tesla screen, it creates a route for you that has charging stations along the way. It’s neat because the GPS route has you stop at the stations for about 10-15 minutes… just as you might on a normal road trip when you stop at a gas station to fill up and use the restroom.

This was nice, but when I stopped to charge, I just ended up letting my car charge fully up so I could make fewer stops. There were plenty of charges along the way, so I wasn’t concerned.

Plus, the Tesla makes road trips so much better with its incredible sound system!

If you purchase your Tesla at a Tesla store, you can still give them my code, “ashley45109,” to get your 1,000 free miles.

Looking for a healthy Chipotle bowl that’s so good you’ll have to order it every time? Gotcha covered.

But first, I think we can all agree on one thing … Chipotle is the f*cken best. When you’re trying to maintain a somewhat clean-eating lifestyle, eating out is tough. And yet it’s even tougher NOT to eat out at all.

But Chipotle makes the decision easy for you. Their pigs roam free and they grow their veggies in healthy soil. Food is fresh and prepped in each location—not offsite, then shipped in.

I know when I’m trying to keep a strict Whole30 diet, I really look forward to treating myself to Chipotle.

Need a Healthy Chipotle Bowl?

So anyways … Chipotle recently released a Lifestyle menu that’s awesome. They had nutritionists and athletes team up to create meal options that follow whatever kind of diet you want to eat.

You can choose from:

• Vegan Chipotle Bowls
• Vegetarian Chipotle Bowls
• Gluten-Free Chipotle Bowls
• Soy-Free Chipotle Bowls
• Sulphite-Free Chipotle Bowls
• Dairy-Free Chipotle Bowls
• Whole30-Approved Chipotle Bowls
• Keto-Approved Chipotle Bowls
• Paleo-Approved Chipotle Bowls

For my Whole30 friends, the Chipotle chicken and carnitas are considered Whole30-approved. The fajita veggies are now approved too. In the past, the fajita veggies and the chicken were not approved because of the type of oil they were cooked in. Thankfully, that’s changed.

The three salsas are all Whole30-approved, but the corn mix is NOT. Sadly, neither is the honey vinaigrette—which is a bummer because it’s my jam!

My Favorite Healthy Chipotle Bowls

Currently, Chipotle is offering these featured bowls:

Cody Rigsby Salad (Cycling Instructor)

Ashley Cline (Girl Who Loves to Eat)

Make Your Own Healthy Chipotle Bowl

Obviously, all the bowls I listed above are incredible—but I personally think my healthy Chipotle bowl is the best. (No bias there, of course.)

Also, here’s a Chipotle-eater’s pro tip: Use their nutrition calculator to get an idea of what exactly you’re putting in your body. This thing will seriously help you make healthier choices when standing in line.

The first time I tried cryotherapy, I was more curious than anything. But once I learned of the many cryotherapy benefits, I was practically addicted.

First, in case you don’t know what cryotherapy is… it’s the process of using freezing temperatures to help your body heal, according to Medical News Today.

Basically, you go into a chamber full of nitrogen mist for about 3 minutes. This brings your skin’s external temperature down to about 32 degrees F.

It’s not as scary as it sounds, I promise. Well, maybe if you hate the cold, it is.

I tried cryotherapy for the first time at Polar Cryotherapy in Costa Mesa, California.

Before my 3-minute session, I signed some legal paperwork and then was given a robe and socks that went up to my knees. (Dr. Alan Christianson told me that men usually don’t need socks because their legs are hairier.)

When I went in the chamber, I took off my robe, leaving me in my bra and underwear. The chamber covered everything but my head, but the doctor said I could stick my head underneath if I held my breath.

All in all, I loved the experience. I felt so fresh and invigorated after the session was over!

Cryotherapy Benefits According to the Pros

I had experienced amazing benefits of using a hot sauna for muscle therapy, so I was intrigued to see how cryotherapy would be different.

I initially wanted to try it because I had heard so many elite athletes say cryotherapy helps their muscles recover more quickly. Even celebrities use it, including Will Smith, who swears it’s a better alternative to icing after workouts.

And it’s no wonder it’s growing in popularity. Cryotherapy benefits range from improving your mood to clearing up your skin to even increasing your libido.

Here’s what the experts say:

1. Cryotherapy can help relieve pain and heal muscles.

It’s no secret that ice is a great way to help muscles recover after an injury or after an intense workout. But Medical News Today reports that cryotherapy can even help with pain associated with arthritis.

A 2000 study revealed several patients found temporary relief from their rheumatoid arthritis while having regular cryotherapy sessions.

Healthline writes that it can even help with migraine pain and nerve irritation.

2. It can reduce your anxiety and depression.

I remember how good I felt when I got out of that cryotherapy chamber.

And apparently I’m not the only one. A study from 2008 reveals that a group of patients struggling with depression or anxiety found temporary mental relief while regularly using cryotherapy.

Speaking of mental health, another study suggests that cryotherapy’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists need to do more research on this, of course.

3. Cryotherapy benefits even include relief from skin issues and diseases.

Some people have experienced short-term healing for their skin issues like eczema, atopic dermatitis, and even acne by using cryotherapy.

Experts believe this is, again, because cryotherapy can help reduce inflammation and produce antioxidants in the blood.

4. It may be able to help you lose weight.

Many claim cryotherapy has helped them lose weight. This could be for a variety of reasons, of course. People may be more eager to work out since their muscles are healing more quickly or their moods are improving.

One small study showed no weight difference after 10 cryotherapy sessions. But those who do find it helps them lose weight swear by it.

Polar Cryotherapy (where I went for my first session) says regular sessions can reduce the appearance of cellulite. If you’re over 35, don’t tell me you don’t care about that…

5. Cryotherapy benefits your post-surgery healing.

By reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, and relieving pain from the operation itself, HydraLive Therapy writes that cryotherapy can improve post-surgery recovery.

It also helps tendons heal, improves flexibility, and increases blood circulation.

6. Can it even delay aging, too?

Some say cryotherapy can even help you look younger.

Regular sessions can increase the collagen in your skin (preventing wrinkles and healing scars), help cells regenerate, detoxify your skin, and reduce fat deposits in your cheeks.

Basically, your skin will look healthier, tighter and brighter.

Not gonna lie, I’m definitely all about more beautiful skin, hair and nails as well as overall improved health.

That’s why I do regular cryotherapy sessions now. During my first session, I asked the doctor how often I should do it. He told me to start off the first week with three sessions—then go down to once or twice a month.
