The Daily Something

Alright-  Thanksgiving is a little under appreciated as a holiday- and I get it- it isn't as glamorous or fun as the two holidays it is sandwiched in between. My next post will probably be Christmas Related... but Thanksgiving is good too! And I want to talk about it! I'll also probably mention Christmas because I do feel like they go hand in hand. These are in no particular order! 1. Friends Thanksgiving Episodes- Everyone knows these are the best episodes of Friends! Whether they have special guest stars, love interests, bad trifle, mocklate, or turkey's getting stuck on Joey's head... they are always the best episodes! They are almost as good as Monica's Moist Maker Sandwich! 2. The Thanksgiving Day Parade- I'm not too into parades- but I do really love watching all the balloons of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I used to especially love it when Macy's would release the special plushes to go along with the main Balloon... and I'm sad they...

Alright guys... here is a new thing I'm doing... I will just be a one-woman news blog every once and a while telling you about the news I care about and what I want to talk about... along with some reviews. To be honest- I always handwrite this before I type it on the blog... and I'm just going to write the same stories because... why not. I'll start off with the review! The newest Frappucino Flavor was released at Starbucks and it is pretty good! The Tye Dye Frap! This is a really beautiful frap and it actually tastes really good! It's probably not my favorite limited edition frappucino... but I liked it. It was pretty and it tasted like fruity pebbles and I'm not sure I'd really order it again... but it isn't bad. I'd recommend it! Speaking of Starbucks... I'm also already pretty excited for fall... I'm not trying to rush away summer- but at the store I work at they've started putting out fall candles... and I kind of want to enjo...

I think one of my  goals for this year is to actually improve this blog and actually take some more time writing my posts... that's partially why I haven't been writing "daily" as much either because I really haven't been feeling great and I've just been super tired to write... but this isn't an excuse intro! I'll try to get back on track soon! I just wanted to kind of say I might bring back some of my old favorite posts and the It List is definitely one I'm bringing back! This is all of the stuff I can't get enough of this month and I can't wait to share them with you guys! 1) Sabrina The Teenage Witch- I was really excited when Netflix announced The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina- and I LOVED that show- but it did have me longing for my childhood favorite- the much more lighthearted Melissa Joan Hart Sabrina. One day I was just looking at DVDs at Target- and I saw that they had the complete series on DVD... and I was like "SOLD!...

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 Whip...

So... this is kind of random... but I didn't post anything yet and I don't do favorites in the Weekly Wrap Up anymore... so here we go! I'll probably talk about these again in an It List 1) American Horror Story: Cult- This season of AHS is really scary and very interesting. This weeks episode had a little bit of comic relief... in the first episode I feel like maybe there was some comic relief... but it was still pretty scary and serious. It's a good season so far though- I just really like it! 2) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte- We know this is a favorite... it will be until the holiday flavors come out... lol. I just love the flavor of it... for fall it is delicious. I might switch it up in a little bit and get something like the Apple Spice or the Salted Caramel Mocha... but Pumpkin Spice is always nice! 3) Starbucks Pumpkin Scones- I did a review on this yesterday... it's just really yummy. Definitely put some butter on it and put it in the microwave... or ...

Okay... If you don't want to get addicted to the Starbucks Pumpkin Scones, you might not want to read this post... because it is kind of a game changer. I used to really like the pumpkin scones and I would order them a lot when I was in college. Its just a really nice, pretty filling breakfast... very pumpkiny and really good. I was looking forward to these coming back when the Pumpkin Spice Latte came back. Here's the game changer... the manager at the starbucks I go to recommended to heat the scone up and put butter on it... and that really makes a huge difference in the taste! Scones are often served with some sort of cream or something because they're a little bit dry...so the butter really helps to make it nice and moist and then when you heat it up it gets melty and it is warm and delicious! I really love it! It is a little heavy and sweet for the morning... even for me... it will kind of hold you over for lunch if you ask me. It tastes good without the butter a...

This is random... but I'm running out of things to write about... so let's talk about things in a more poetic way? I guess? Today I had a breakfast sandwich from Starbucks for Lunch. It was really yummy. Sausage Egg and Cheese... I love Breakfast food. Today I didn't feel great. It's my time of the month... and that is not fun at all. Today I had some Lindor chocolate... that is always a good thing. Today I filmed a video that I will eventually put on youtube. Today I also edited that video. Today I went to Target... that is always fun. Today I saw cute pictures of my baby niece. Today I talked to my sister about said cute niece. Today I ate Chicken Marsala. Yummy. Today I tried a charcoal sheet mask. I think my skin looks nice... but I don't think it's going to do anything for my blackheads... which is a little sad. Today I started reading the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernov. Today I listened to the song Alexander Hamilton for the f...

So one of my favorite places in the world is Starbucks… and they have some new food, some older food that I’m just kind of starting to try now… and it’s just all delicious and I love it… so let’s just get right into everything!  First off… the Peanut Butter Cup Cookie… omg. So yummy. Get it warmed up- it’ll be a little bit cakey and melty and good. There’s chocolate- there’s peanut butter… it is just delicious. I’m obsessed with warmed peanut butter treats… or cool Peanut Butter Treats because I love Peanut Butter Ice Cream… I’m a little nervous about blogging about this one because I know they’ll sell out… but yeah. It’s great!  They have a Chocolate Chip cookie too… also really delicious. Very chocolatey and soft and good. I love that too- don’t order it as much.  The newest sweet treat from them… The Whoopee pies… omg! The Vanilla bean one is excellent. The cake is really yummy and the inside tastes almost like Marshmallow… it is just really yummy and one ...

Alrighty… I’m changing how I do the Weekly Wrap Up a little bit… I think I’m just kind of going to give an overview of my day, any news that kind of shaped that day… and I’ll talk about some of my favorite things of the day that day… so it’ll be a little more in depth… a little longer… two things you don’t want to do on a blog… but I’m doing them anyway because why not.  Sunday 7.9.17  So I’ve mentioned this in other blogs before, but I’m getting new furniture in my room, and redecorating it, repainting it and whatnot… so I’ve been moving everything from my room and I’m almost done with it… I’m writing this recap on Monday and I should be done with it tonight and I’ll clean up after that… but it was kind of driving me crazy again today… it’s a little more relaxing to just have nothing in there, not much to do… but at the same time… there was a lot to do and a lot I had to get rid of and clean out a lot… I still need to vacuum and clean and stuff… but right now… most e...

Starbucks is one of my favorite places ever... and I've been eating food from Starbucks more and more and loving it more and more lately! So... I'm going to talk about what I've been getting recently and maybe some other old favorites. I'll start out with the Breakfast sandwiches because that is what kind of started this obsession with Starbucks food. I usually get the Sausage Egg and Cheese... it is delicious. The sausage is a little bit spicy, the cheese is really cheesy... and there's also an egg... so that's a thing? Lol. It's on bread that is kind of like an English Muffin. I think the "Cheese" on this one is cheddar... and it's just really really good. They warm it up for you in the store itself... I don't usually go to the store- my mom picks it up for me... so I sometimes need to re- heat it by the time she gets home... they'll usually heat up food before you get your drinks... so if you're the one eating that that is awes...

Ahhh the much-instagrammed Unicorn Frap. Is it worth the hype? Or just a cute instagram picture... Neither... and both lol. So yes... it was all over Instagram... I have 3 Instagram accounts so I was seeing it everywhere and had lots and really wanted to try it to see if it was worth the hype... It's definitely a "Do it for the gram" drink... which a lot of Starbucks food is... I love getting their sugar cookies because I like posting pictures on Instagram of them... no shame in that! Anyhoo... The Unicorn Frap! What did it taste like? Would you like it, would you not like it? What's up with it????? So... it changed flavors every few sips. Some sips were really sweet like a Sweet Tart or something... and that was kind of good but kind of gross... I liked it... but it's weird. It also got very very sour... and it wasn't necessarily like a Sour Patch Kid type sour... which is my favorite sour candy... it was more like a hard sour candy... I don't thi...

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 whit...

So I go to a Target Starbucks and the guy that works there always recommends things to my mom and I and he said "Ohhh you guys should try the apple cider! We put the Cinnamon Dulce syrup in it, you guys would really like it." And we were sold. My mom always gets the Cinnamon Dulce latte... so he knew she would like it. And it is delicious! My mom likes getting it cold because she doesn't like hot apple cider. I like it hot because I do like hot apple cider... it is really really good either way. It's a little more flavorful than the one that Dunkin Donuts used to make... I liked that one a lot, but that Cider wasn't as flavorful heated up as it was cold... which is okay but I like hot cider... so it was a little disappointing. But this doesn't disappoint at all. Its a little more apple-y if you get it cold, a little more cinnamony if you get it hot... so that's why its good to try both. Lol. We also like it with whipped cream and caramel and cinnamon o...

I've been bad at blogging for this blog lately... I'll admit that. Lol. Last night I went to sleep earlier than I have been lately because I was sneezing and my eyes were runny, so I took an Allertec... and then it worked like right away but I was really sleepy... so at least I slept really well. But yeah I was still like half asleep when I woke up... I'm still half asleep now pretty much. I usually cuddle with my dog in the living room for a bit and then I go back to my room... but I was too tired to even go back to my room... so I just stayed in the living room. I ended up finishing a Halloween blog from yesterday for my other blog and then I went out to lunch with my mom and had Pumpkin Pancakes... which were really really good. And we got a slice of Pumpkin cheesecake to go... so I will be having that soon.... which is good, hopefully. I've also been drinking the Apple Cider from Starbucks. Its off the menu, but they have apple cider and they put the cinnamo...

I thought maybe today I would do something like a What's Up Wednesday... but on a Monday. I had a dream this morning that my teeth were falling out. It started with one chip in my tooth and then that fell out and then all my other teeth were falling out and I was like "Wait, people have dreams where there teeth are falling out. Maybe this is just a dream... I don't think it is, but I'll pinch myself to see if it is" so I pinched myself and then realized it was a dream. And then I had some more weird/ bad dreams because I fell asleep with the news on... which is just about the scariest thing you can do. Woke up kinda dragging today, so I got a Venti Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks... it was delicious... but too much. I haven't had the Salted Caramel Mocha in a few years because the last time I had it, I had it with a Salted Caramel brownie.. and that was too much... and today I realized that just the Salted Caramel Mocha on its own was a little much too...

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 thoug...

Today I woke up in an oddly good mood... maybe not "oddly" but I was kind of well rested even though I didn't get a lot of sleep and just in a good mood... so that was good. I did sleep in a little bit after I initially woke up... but yeah. For Lunch I had some yummy leftover 3-meat baked ziti, which was good. I've had kind of an upset stomach recently... so I ate this with no sour feeling stomach... which was good! I didn't have much of it because I knew I was going to Starbucks later... and that is where this day gets really exciting! I've been on a quest for the movie Tower of Terror that was part of The Wonderful World of Disney... for years. Like literally I was looking for it when I went on the ride the last time I went to Disney in 2009... so its been a long search. And recently I was browsing Targets website (I'm probably going to buy Lilo and Stitch because I just rewatched it on Netflix and its going away soon) and it said that not only did t...

So this is kind of a weird thing to review. The first sip I was like "Weird... this is gross I don't like it." But I mixed it around a little bit and I was like "This is amazing. I love it! Its delicious and so different." So... there you go lol. Its like shaved ice in a coffee... so its a weird sort of texture and its like you're getting something a little different with every sip. It was pretty yummy when it was mixed a little bit. I think I needed mine mixed a little because it wasn't all that sweet... but when it was mixed around... it was good. So I don't know if these are something you can only get at 3pm or after... or if you could ask for it during the day and see if you get it. I don't typically get Starbucks after 3pm... so it might take a while for me to get this again or to get another flavor... but I really like it. Its also good if you don't want caffeine or if you don't want caffeine after 3pm... they have fruit flavore...

So I heard about this pink drink a while ago... its a strawberry Acai Refresher with Coconut Milk instead of water. Its a not-so-secret menu item... I didn't totally love it or hate it. I first tried it I was like "wow... thats a lot of strawberry flavor" it was strong and really good! But after a while, it gets to be a little much. And there's kind of an aftertaste... so there's that too. It wasn't bad, and I'll probably order it again because its probably better for you than a lot of other drinks, and sometimes regular milk just isn't great for me... so I think I could probably order this again and be happy with it. Its a nice, cool refreshing drink... so its pretty okay. Also... keep this in mind when ordering anything strawberry... there are bugs in strawberry items. Lol. It was on the Colbert Report... in the Starbucks Strawberry frap there are bugs... red dye #5 or something contains bugs... so thats always in the back of my head with anythin...

Sorry for the slight absence recently... I might not post all that frequently this month... sorry. But anyway there was a new frappuccino at starbucks and if you like the Caramel Frap you'll love the Caramel Waffle Cone frap. You know why? It's exactly the same! Lol. So its just a regular Caramel frap, but there are some waffle cone pieces on top of the whipped cream with some caramel. And sure, you don't really get that flavor unless you eat it with your straw or spoon it out after... so the top is just a little different... I think thats great. It just makes it taste a little more ice cream-y and I love coffee ice cream and cones and caramel...so it all works for me. I think this is only limited edition at select Starbucks locations. It isn't the most exciting flavor they've come up with... but sometimes you just need an old fashioned favorite with a little bit of a twist on it. If you wanted to do it yourself, just get a caramel frap crush a waffle cone and...
