A Latte like Love with Starbucks Coffee ♥

-
Pardon the cute-sy play of words but I just can't help it! 

 Ever wonder why coffee is normally linked closely to love and romance?
Girl meets boy in a coffee shop.
Girl and boy getting to know each other over coffee (and cakes, sandwiches or pastries!)
Boy professes his love to girl also in a coffee shop.
... and they live happily ever after with more cups of coffee shared along the way!

For Paul and I, Starbucks Coffee surely has played a valuable role in our very own love life. Here's where we've spent a lot of hours after our dinner date be it just the two of us or with our groups of friends. Starbucks Coffee has also been our permanent venue when we were meeting up with our wedding suppliers some time back and up to today, it has been our third place -- that one place where we feel most at home from the exact type of drinks that we want (eg: Signature Hot Chocolate in Kid's Temp for him and a Non-Fat Hazelnut Latte, no whip in Kid's Temp for me), to the relaxing jazz tunes and the constant buzz of the Frappuccino blender in the background.

So last night, Paul and I thought of dropping by our neighborhood Starbucks Coffee to grab some coffee and to just spend some "us-time" after a busy day at work. We noticed the two new items on the menu -- French Vanilla and Dark Caramel Latte. I love latte so I immediately chose the French Vanilla Latte which has real vanilla beans and is drizzled with rich mocha sauce. I drank this without the whipped cream which I had to scoop out after taking this photo but I'm glad that that it still stayed so decadent despite that. It's rather on the sweet side though as I guess is brought by the mocha and vanilla combination. Maybe I'll request that they tone down on the vanilla syrup next time. 

 Paul tried the Dark Caramel Latte which he said was really good. I'm so glad that he loves caramel as much as I do so he really appreciated this toffee-flavored drink. Surprisingly, he said, it's not very sweet.

I do hope that these new latte creations will permanently be part of the menu.

Check it out today at any Starbucks Coffee store near you! This is available in both Singapore and the Philippines.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
