Starbucks!

I love to drink Starbucks, but really, who does not? Why I love Starbucks is for many reasons : it tastes great!, I love coffee, and I just love.... I'm sure that people are drawn to Starbucks for a reason, for their coffee, or coffee drinks, or perhaps just a piece of cake. 

Why is Starbucks so good? I am not sure, but I know that I love it.

As you can tell here, I love to drink my Starbucks. Leave a comment telling my why you love YOUR Starbucks!

DaVinci Gourmet Syrups Review

I received three different flavors of DaVinci's syrups: Raspberry, Vanilla, and Caramel.
I have not used all of them in a recipe yet, but I hope to do some latter.

Raspberry (Classic):
I have used this one in a recipe off of their site. I made the Chocolate Raspberry Truffles. I took them to my school and shared them with my classmates and teachers. They all loved them. I give this syrup a A for taste, except if you taste it plain it has a cold medicine taste. You could use this syrup and make all different types of treats: cookies, chocolates, drinks, and much more. I would recommend this one!

Caramel (Classic):
I have not used this syrup in a recipe yet, but I hope to find one so I can try it out. I have tasted this syrup and it does not taste like medicine, it has a nice taste like a caramel candy you can get at the store! I hope to use this in a coffe drink or a cookie. I can't wait to try it more! I would give it a B+ now.

Vanilla (Sugar Free):
I have used this in a coffee flavored drink, but I did not like it at all. The taste of it was NOT good. It was very weird tasting, I would have rather used my vanilla extract. I thinking the flavor could have been weird because it is Sugar free, unlike all the others. I'm not sure. I think this flavor would a great in coffee because I love my drinks with vanilla. I am not able to give this syrup a good grade, but I think it would be about a C-. Some people may like this syrup is are use to sugar free products!

Bengal and Sengal
by Ellie

ABOUT THE STORY:In this whimsical adventure, Tigress gives birth to Bengal and Sengal, two cute and cuddly cubs. As a little tiger cub, Bengal is always getting in trouble and even wanders away from the lair. Soon, both tigers become good hunters and have families of their own.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ellie lives in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, where she is a crossing guard for Charleroi Elementary School. She is married to Norman and has four children – Jon, Debbie, David, and Sheila. Ellie enjoys doing crossword puzzles in her spare time. This is her first published book, and she was inspired to writeBengal and Sengal from her love of tigers.


MY THOUGHTS:
 I really enjoyed reading this short story! The story has many different characters in it, but I NEVER got them mixed up. The character I enjoyed the most is Sengal because I think my personality is more like his then Bengal. I liked how the author wrote the story with simple words for a young child would be able to read it easily, but with a few challenges. My favorite part is at the very end of the story, the happy every after part. If you want to see for your self you will have to read the book!

Departures - Book Review

This book is really 2 in 1. The first story in this novel was "Now Boarding at Gate 10" and the second was "In the Event of a Water Landing". I enjoyed both of the stories very much. The stories were only connected by one part, while they were in the airport. I did not think that it was like that. I though that it would have been connecting many times in both stories, but I can say now that I enjoyed reading theses stories very much.


The first story is about Christ Miller's Summer vacation just after her graduation from high-school, and the second was about a summer vacation of 15-year old Sierra Jensen. Both of the stories are the life as teenage girl, but I personally enjoyed Sierra's story much more than Christy's, but I did like readying them both.


I would recommend this book to any teen or young adult for a nice novel to read. I think the author could have done a bit better on Christy's  story, but overall I think this story was very nice!

Buddha Board Product Reviews

About-
The Buddha Board is offered in three distinctive styles: the Original Buddha Board is a perfect balance of form & function that is fun to use and looks great.

Each of the Buddha Board styles is unique and appealing in it's own way - we hope that you find one to your liking!
For this review I received the Laptop Buddha Board. It is the potable sibling of the Original Buddha Board. Open the laptop to find the Buddha Board nestled in the lid, along with a slender water trough and paintbrush. The bottom of the base flips backward to become an easel stand.
The laptop Buddha Board comes in pink, green, red, blue and black and comes packaged in a thin black sleeve/cover. Its dimensions are: 12.5" x 11" x 1"

Buddha Board sent the the Laptop Buddha Board in pink! I was happy to receive this product. I received the product very quick and without any damage. I was very excited to use this product so I set up my Buddha Board in my room and filled the tray with water and started to draw. The only thing that caused me to think, Hmmm, was that the picture disappear  VERY quickly, so quickly that I was not able to finish the drawing.
I loved the idea of having a board to draw on and it disappear, being eco-friend. If I were to chagne one thing about this product it would probally be the name, I would change the name only because of my religious views.

I recommend this product!

I loved trying this organic tea because I loved to smell it! I was tempted to keep it in my bedroom for the smell, but then I tired it. I love the smell and the taste of the mint and spices. The spics  that is the strongest in flavor is the mint.  When I made the tea it was sweet enought that I did not need to any much honey (Just a small drop). Sacred Rose teas are high quality and with valentines coming up  this wonderful tea would be a wonderful gift to your sweetheart! The box the tea was sent in was very lovely and wrapped with a satin bow so there is not need to even wrap it! If you, or someone you know is a tea lover, you need to look on the website of Sacred Rose Tea.

I recommend this product!
