What's Inside : Starbucks Planner 2018

Well, hello there! Missed me?

This was definitely the longest break that I've took since this blog was created 10 years ago. Well, I got a good excuse reason. The day after my previous blog entry was posted, I gave birth to my adorable twins J and L. What happened after that were days filled with non-stop feeding, burping, diaper changes, sleepless nights, random playtime and more. It has been 60+ days since and I'd say, we've pretty much mastered the art of not-sleeping-at-night-or-ever. Haha! Kidding aside, I'm so in love with my twins and while never in my wildest dreams would I thought that I can change diapers in 3 minutes or less as well as turn into a human milking cow, my dream of being a Mommy has finally became a reality and I'm just so so so happy.

I have yet to share with you the highlights of my year but I guess you all know what will sit on top of my list. 2018 is looking very bright for our family and I really can't wait to see what's in store for us. I do wish the same for all of you.

Having twins is no easy walk in the park. Just imagine the challenges of parenthood and multiply that by two. That's double the feeding, double the cries, double of everything. I think one thing that Paul and I realized is that being organized helps keep things manageable. Sure, there are still days when I'd find myself still in my pajamas at 5pm in the afternoon as I was just so busy caring for my babies but there are better days where we just wanted to give each other high fives for pulling our plans through. Speaking of being organized, of course each year brings a brand new Starbucks Coffee planner which we all love.

I'm pretty sure you're all curious to see what this year's planner look like especially inside. Here you go!



In contrast to last year's colorful collection, this year has a more subtle, classy feel which highlights Starbucks' Kape Vinta Card which comes with the planner. Note though that the card doesn't have any credits yet so you'll have to top it up to use. I highly recommend for all of you to activate your card ASAP and load it with P300 as doing so will give you one raffle entry to win a month or a year's worth of Starbucks this 2018! How exciting is that?

I personally love the look of this year's pages as it has a cleaner feel I like how each day has an ample space to jot down your plans and add some notes on the side. Not only that, there's one whole empty page on one side of the planner for more notes to be written, reminders or for home cooks perhaps your weekly menu.

What's a Starbucks Coffee planner without treats? At the back of the planner are twelve coupons offering free drinks, free upgrades, discounts and more! This will get you excited as each month rolls by as you and I know how fast time can fly.

Lastly, this year's planner comes with a stencil ruler and a desktop calendar. I think the desktop calendar is a brilliant idea! How many times have we found ourselves scrambling around for a calendar when planning for the next get together or when setting meetings? This feels like an extension of the planner helping you stay organized even more.

So for those who have yet to receive the planner, here are two ways:

• Purchase a total of 18 Starbucks drinks (9 Holiday drinks + 9 Core drinks). 
• Another option is to make a bulk purchase worth P7,000 inclusive of food and other retail items. Note that P7,000 worth of gift certificates and/or Starbucks card load is not included.

The planner promotion is from 2 November 2017 to 8 January 2018. Hurry! Roughly two weeks to go.

I sincerely apologize for not running a giveaway this year as my hands are pretty much tied with my daily motherhood tasks. I promise to make it up to you guys this 2018!
