Blogmas Day 5: Scribbles About Food: Starbucks Christmas Tree Frap and Cranberry Bliss Bar

So I was excited to see Starbucks had a new Frap out for the holidays and I finally tried the Cranberry Bliss Bar... which I never thought I'd like but it was one of Gayle's favorite things in Oprah Magazine... and you know I love Gayle King- so I needed to give it a try!

Christmas Tree Frappuccino 
This is the best of the special limited edition frap that I've tried recently... and I like the Unicorn Frap and the Zombie Frap. This tasted like a mint candy. Like the inside of a Lindor Mint Truffle... that's what this tasted like. And on top they had a Matcha Whipped Cream, Dried Cranberry, and a Strawberry! The cranberry on top of the whipped cream was DELICIOUSLY Sweet and crunchy... it was perfect. I didn't end up eating the Strawberry on Top, but it did really make the frap look like a christmas tree.

It was a really delicious combo of Mint and then when you got some of the Matcha Whipped Cream it was really nice... and then at the end I just got mostly Whipped Cream and Cranberry and it just tasted amazing! I really enjoyed this frapp... hopefully I'll be able to get it again before it runs out... but it is just an awesome frap.

Cranberry Bliss Bar 
This I had been hesitant to try because I don't know how I feel about Cranberry in a dessert... but as it turns out this is a really nice, sweet dessert-y snack!

The frosting on it is really nice and creamy, the cake is very soft and sweet and again... the dried cranberries at Starbucks are just deliciously sweet for some reason... not getting as much crunch from it... mine was a little squished today... so maybe that is why... but still its a really nice, soft cakey treat and I enjoy it. I got it yesterday for the first time, today I'm having a second one. They have these in packs so that you could bring it to the office or to a holiday party or as a gift or something... you could eat these Christmas Morning with your family and that would be really nice.

It's just a great bar! I like it a lot! Starbucks has a lot of good treats around the holidays too. The Peppermint Brownie Cake Pops are also a great one to try... so yeah! Hope you guys like it and I'll see you tomorrow with another Less Christmas-y Scribbles About Food!

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...
