Starbucks Secret Menu - Apple Juice Orange Blossom


This was definitely different from any Starbucks drink I have ever ordered, but it was a wonderful change! It was sweet, smooth, and slightly tangy.
Order an orange blossom Tazo tea steeped in apple cider.

Finger Painting With My Brother




Setting: a rainy day in Washington. Characters: my younger brother and I.
We finally decided to pull out the finger paints and make a few pieces of art. My brother and I really enjoyed the feeling of paint on our hands so we made handprints and a flame-like painting using our red and yellow painted hands. We had a blast! I’m definitely saving these.

Vintage Wedding Show


I went to a Vintage Bridal Show a couple days ago with my godmother at a local parish and snapped this photo of a dress I liked. The show itself was adorable - older ladies flounced around the space in early 20th century dresses and special occasion outfits while a pianist played time pieces in the background and the master of ceremonies discussed the dress and the time period in which it originated. They served coffee and tea (I chose tea, of course) and a variety of cookies. It was delightful! I just wish I had taken more photos of the dresses and outfits I liked.

Starbucks Secret Menu - Snickers Frappuccino


Absolutely tasted like a snickers… Although the barista put chocolate drizzle instead of caramel.
Order a Java Chip Frappuccino with two pumps of toffee nut and caramel drizzle on top.
