Scribbles About Food: Starbucks Chile Mocha (Frap and Latte)

Starbucks has a new drink that sounded interesting to me. Its sort of a "Mexican Hot Chocolate" inspired drink that is a Chile Mocha. Its a regular Mocha... but with a little bit of a kick I guess... so lets see how this is!

Frap 
I really liked the frap! It didn't have much of a kick to it... it was just enough to bring out the chocolate in the Mocha... but not enough for me to be like "wow, this is spicy!" I was little disappointed in that, I don't mind spiciness... but I think this was probably better than anything super spicy. I haven't had a real Mexican Hot Chocolate, but I've had Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream and that was really good and pretty spicy. So I'm not really an expert... but I think this was better than I was expecting for a Starbucks version of the drink.

And it was really chocolatey, which was the 1st and best thing I noticed really. It was good.

Latte 
The Latte was a little bit spicier! I liked it a lot still though, even though there was no real cool-down factor to this. I don't think this is something I would order all the time... I might need to try the Salted Caramel Mocha or the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate again to compare... It reminds me of that but the Salted Caramel Mocha is very rich. I had it one day with a brownie... and it was just wayyy too much. This isn't quite as rich as that one... but maybe don't get a brownie with this one and eat it in one class and en route to another class right after. Lol.

So overall... This is good Iced in a frap or hot in a latte... the idea of this as an iced latte doesn't really appeal to me that much... so I didn't try it like that... but it'd probably taste somewhat like the frap. I preferred the Hot Latte, so I might wait a little bit to order this one again since it is still hot out... but I'd recommend it!

Byeee!

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...

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...
