Scribbles About Food: Caribou Coffee Sea Salt Caramel Iced Coffee

I started drinking this... and I just figured why not do a scribbles about food on this. I'm almost done with it.

I think this is something that is more of a "healthy" option compared to some other iced coffee drinks at the grocery store... like the Starbucks ones. I've tried a lot of other iced coffee drinks so I wanted to give this one a try. Maybe its a better option. "No High Fructose Corn Syrup, artificial flavors, or preservatives."...

Okay... nevermind this being a "healthy option." On the back the nutritional info says that 1 bottle is about two servings... so it is 150 calories for one serving... which isn't bad. But for the bottle its 260 calories... which is kind of ridiculous. I don't think its a ridiculous amount of calories... but come on. This isn't something you're going to keep in the fridge after drinking half of it... this is something you're going to drink all at once. So... that's a little sneaky marketing technique.

The flavor is good. It isn't that strong though. I thought I liked it better than the Starbuck's Frappucino drinks in the iced coffee section... but I think those might be more flavorful. I think there's a caramel flavor... but I don't think it really tastes like Sea Salt caramel. It just tastes like a caramel latte.

I feel the more I'm drinking this the more underwhelmed I am. I think my favorite sea salt caramel ice coffee was from Boathouse... but I think they only sell those at Wawa and I don't stop at Wawa very often.

I like Caribou Coffee as a brand... but they're kind of like the brand Sweetums from Parks and Rec. They used to make a granola bar that I'm sure had no real nutritional value whatsoever. I think it was like an expresso bar or something. They were delicious... but I'm sure there was nothing healthy about them. I used to eat them before finals or when I needed to study for finals... or when I went to concerts early in the morning. They had their purpose... but it wasn't a practical snack for everyday really. I don't think they make them anymore... if they do maybe I'll try it for a Throwback Thursday.

So this wasn't bad... but I probably wouldn't pick it up again. I liked it... but it was still slightly underwhelming.

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
