2. Starbucks Flat White (Expensive, but hey, it’s Starbucks! We expect this!)
“The Starbucks® Flat White is an espresso beverage made with two ristretto shots, combined with a thin layer of velvety steamed whole milk and finished with a latte art dot. A ristretto shot delivers a sweeter, more intense coffee flavor. Starbucks baristas perfectly steam milk into creamy micro-foam and carefully free pour to allow the espresso to rise to the top of the beverage for a bold coffee flavor with a sweeter finish. The Starbucks® Flat White joins the core menu line-up of espresso beverages like Caffé Americano, Caffé Latte, Cappuccino, Doppio Espresso and Espresso Macchiato..”–Starbucks
I have a confession and it’s quite shocking if you know me. I haven’t really had a lot of Starbucks in the past 6 months or so. Possibly even longer. It’s all thanks to my Nespresso! Honestly that machine is worth the investment if you are an Espresso/Coffee lover. I talked about it here, in one of my older YouTube videos. Anyways, I got some Gift Cards to Starbucks for my Birthday and Christmas (Thanks to Vivienne and my husband!!) and I have been going every so often. Starbucks came out with the Flat White, which if I have heard correctly, it was already available in Starbucks in the UK. It’s delicious! If you like a bolder coffee and not something mixed in with flavored syrups and all of that-you will love the Flat White. It’s been my go-to drink as of lately when I’m lazy and don’t want to make something at home. It is quite pricey, but it’s Starbucks and we should all be used to that. It’s basically just shots of espresso and steamed milk if you think about it. In all fairness, it is delicious! So if you’ve been curious about trying it-I say go for it!
3. So Delicious Minis Vanilla Flavored Coconut Milk (No dairy, No Soy)
In my quest to get better at watching what I’m eating and really concentrating on becoming healthier, I have found some new indulgences. I’ve been trying to watch my Dairy consumption because I love me a Cold Glass of Milk and Cheese! Damn the cheese! I love it. Every once in a while I will crave ice cream or something sweet. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about the So Delicious brand and I picked up a box of the Vanilla Coconut Milk Bars. YUM! They are Dairy Free and Soy Free, which scared me a bit at first, but one bite later I was like OH YES! These are fantastic for a treat every now and then. I might have to try some of their other products now that I know not to fear Coconut Milk like I do Almond Milk. Seriously, I just can’t with Almond Milk.
Nice! I’ve been pretty interested in the FitBit. Something I’m considering to purchase 🙂
You totally should make a purchase! I really like seeing how many steps I’m taking a day, how I”m sleeping and I can keep track of my food, weight and exercise on it! It’s great!
I just found your blog because I am a fellow Georgia Southern Blogger Society member! I love your blog! New Follower!
XOXO, Erica

Yay! Thanks for finding me! I’m going to go check yours out now!!
Aww, Erica – I just found her too! (err..She found me?) LOL
So… here’s the thing about the fit bit. I didn’t get the black band (mistake) and I’ve had a ridiculous time “styling” it. I like to wear a watch and bracelets on my left wrist but I just can’t make it work with the FitBit. I’ve seen those Tory Burch FB accessories but they’re like $6840280 and poor graduate student Giliian cannot handle that. (Post idea – how to arm candy style with a FitBit – GO!). HALLLLP.
PS- Did you recently change your comment system to Disqus? How do you like it? I’m considering self-hosting :/:/:/ maybe…
The Tory Burch accessories are CRAZY expensive! I’ve looked at them and have considered them, BUT they are high $$. And I’m loving that styling challenge! I have often thought about changing up the arm that I wear them on and go with my right. I will have to work on this, ha!
I did just change my comment system. So far, it’s really nice and very easy! I’d recommend it for sure!
I loved using my Fitbit (until it quit charging). May just have to invest in another one.
It interesting to see the information that it gathers for you!
