Scribbles About Food: Cupcake Frappuccino

Heyyy guys! Halfway done with tryin these fraps! This is one of the ones I was more excited about... did it deliver? Welll...

This one I was the least impressed with because... it tasted exactly like their Birthday Cake Frap... but it wasn't quite as flavorful. It was just basically a vanilla bean... so of all these so far, this is the most boring.

I felt like with the other flavors I've tried, they were doing something wayyy different. The Red Velvet was like a really chocolatey frap, but it got the flavor down RIGHT! The Lemon Bar was 100% on the flavor and it tasted really really good and so so different than any frozen coffee drink I've tried so far.  So those two were really special and this one... is less special.

And I know I said it tastes pretty much exactly like the Birthday Cake, but I'm also saying I don't really like it when I really liked the Birthday Cake... well... yeah. Its half cause the birthday cake was limited edition, so that made it really special. And it was very different than any other fraps at the time... and it was also more flavorful than this Cupcake one. It was good, but I don't think I'd say it was the same exact thing. I feel like this is a disappointing version of the Birthday Cake frap... so if you were expecting this to be like the Birthday Cake Frap... it isn't quite there. And if you liked the Birthday Cake Frap, you may not necessarily like this one.

I don't want to totally bash it because I did drink the whole thing, and when I first started drinking it I was like "ooohhhh this is pretty good." But then it just got more and more flavorless and it doesn't taste anything like coffee and it isn't bad. Its not like I was ever disgusted by it and spit it out... but I probably wouldn't order this again. I think there is a vote to make one permanent or something like that... but this one is not it!

So thats about it for that... I think I will be trying the Cotton Candy next. I'm very curious about the other 2 as well... which is why I'm saving them for last... but yeah! I will definitely review it even if it tastes like something I've already reviewed.

Is it better than Cool Ranch Doritos? No. Not even half as good as Cool Ranch Doritos. The flavor sophistication isn't quite there.

Byeeee! Let me know what frap is your fave!!!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
