THE STARBUCKS BLONDE VANILLA LATTE IS YET ANOTHER OF THEIR FEATURED BLONDE ESPRESSO BEVERAGES, and this one is worth a second look. Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Blonde Vanilla Latte: “Our Starbucks Blonde Espresso, which is seriously smooth and subtly sweet, meets steamed milk and vanilla syrup, creating a delightful twist on a beloved espresso classic.” My Recommendation I recommend getting any and all hot Starbucks milk-and-espresso beverages with...

THE STARBUCKS BLONDE FLAT WHITE IS A FEATURED BLONDE ESPRESSO BEVERAGE, and for good reason. Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Blonde Flat White: “Ristretto shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso–which is subtly smooth without the roasty edge–get the perfect amount of whole milk, creating a cup that’s not too strong, not too creamy, but just right.” What’s a ristretto shot? It’s a shot that is “pulled” for a...

THE BLONDE CAFFÈ AMERICANO IS HERE, and if you’re looking for a lighter espresso experience, this is it. However, to describe this simply as a “lighter espresso”, would be doing it a disservice. It’s more than that. Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Blonde Caffè Americano: “Espresso shots are topped with hot water to produce a light layer of crema. This version is made with our Blonde Espresso for a cup that is extra smooth, subtly sweet...

| IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS | THE STARBUCKS HOLIDAY SPICE FLAT WHITE IS ANOTHER RETURNING HOLIDAY FAVORITE, and this one is a winner.

Topped with whole milk micro-foam and finished with a “signature dot” or latte art!” What’s a ristretto shot? It’s a shot that is “pulled” for a shorter duration of...

| IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS | THE STARBUCKS GINGERBREAD LATTE IS A PERENNIAL HOLIDAY FAVORITE, which makes it worth a review. Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Gingerbread Latte: “Sweet and delicately spicy gingerbread flavors mingle with our classic espresso and steamed milk and are topped with whipped cream and ground nutmeg for the perfect holiday touch.” My Recommendation I recommend getting hot Starbucks lattes with breve, extra shots of espresso, and...

 I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP ON MY NEW ARCTIC DREAMS MATTRESS, on an absolutely freezing Sunday afternoon. There’s no way I’m going outside in this weather, so this seems like the perfect time to review the mattress! I’m not a person who’s really into naps, but I didn’t get enough sleep the past 3-4 days, so I turned my phone off and… that’s all I remember. Didn’t do any tossing or turning to get comfortable at all. I’ll go through the...

 THIS INSTANTLY ACCLAIMED NETFLIX SERIES begins with a quote from Albert Einstein: “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” So it’s no spoiler to say that director Baran bo Odar (who also writes the series with co-creator Jantje Friese) will be messing with the traditional perception of time. So even in this first episode, it’s going to get messy. But it’s worth it! Spoilers ahead! Full episode gallery Full episode recap ...
