Blogmas Day 9: Scribbles About Food- Starbucks Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate Review

So I saw that Starbucks now has their hot chocolates advertised... and they have the regular Chocolate Hot Chocolate, the White Hot Chocolate and the Salted Caramel available... and now they have added a Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate! And I was excited to try it!

I was kind of just expecting it to be a white hot chocolate... which is why I was surprised that when I drank it... it tasted just like a cookie fresh out of the oven! It was really really good!

It smells really good too! Before I even took a sip I could smell it and it smelled just like a snicker doodle cookie. And then when I started drinking it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet or sugary, it was just the same amount of sweetness as a regular Snickerdoodle cookie and it was just warm and delicious. They got the flavor down so well, its amazing!

When I got to the end... it wasn't quite as delicious as the first few sips. It wasn't bad... but it did sort of lose a little bit of flavor and just tasted more like a white hot chocolate... which isn't a bad thing. It wasn't bad but the first few sips are like "Wow this is amazing." And then a few sips were like "alright.. .this is okay." Maybe I wasn't getting the flavor with the way I was drinking it or something like that because I could taste it a little bit more flavorful bits after the not so great part... but all in all it was really delicious and something I would definitely order again.

So do I like this better than any of the other holiday drinks... hmmm hard to say. Most of the time I feel like I need a Venti Coffee... but today I just wanted a grande and this was a really good grande drink. I think it wouldn't work well in a venti... but for a grande it was just right! So if you aren't too hungry and just want a little something, this hot chocolate is amazing.

Byeee! Let me know what you think!

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...
