Vibrance, Vitality, Verve… Vivanno™!
Kris said that they were good and he was not wrong! It tastes a bit like the old Carnation Instant Breakfasts, but a little richer. And I did observe the barista putting in a whole banana and whey powder, so...

Giving up the bean… again
I’m giving up my daily trip to Starbucks… I must be insane, right? I was playing around with some of the trends and graphs in Mint yesterday and for fun I looked at what my spending at Starbucks was over...
Back to basics?
It’s time for another Starbucks campaign, the website advertises “something big“. In February they closed their stores down to focus on providing better bar drinks, and now it looks like they’re trying to take back their title for best (better?)...

I’m awake! I’m awake! The answer is 12!
I’m pretty amazed that I got up at all this morning, even more so that it was hella early. Even after being away from the office for only a week, it feels like I’ve been out of the routine a...
Two Crazy Sistas…
That could very well be the title of a new show on BET. It can’t be any worse a title than Hot Ghetto Mess. The Starbucks Red Eye is currently coursing through my veins and giving me amazing caffeine-related superpowers....
