Halloween Costume – DIY Starbucks Cup

Nov 4, 2017

Costume – DIY – Starbucks Cup

My tween’s costume was by request.  She prefers DIY costume and this means being very creative with bringing the concept to reality.  We searched Pinterest for inspiration.  There are different variations of design and I found the hardest part was deciding on what material to use for the actual cup design.  I realized early on trying to find cylindrical white cardboard is very difficult.   After brainstorming, we decided to use a plastic trash can.  Although, the trash can is oval in shape it made our DIY more unique.   The first step was cutting the bottom from the trash can.   We made the whipped cream by using two pieces of felt(used a smaller logo to cut the circles) hot glued together.  (thanks to Southern Curls and Pearls) and these were hot glued to the outside of the rim.  The logo (downloaded from Southern Curls and Pearls) was enlarged and hot glued on the front.   For the back, we googled “back of Starbucks Cup” and I used a sharpie to handwrite the text.  The adhesive letters were purchased from Target last year.  I hot glued them to prevent the letters from falling off.  The final step was threading the elastic material through each side so she could wear for parade and trick or treating.  The elastic band was cut in two and slits were made on each side of the can.    The total cost for purchased materials was about $35.00.

Materials:

White Trash Can-Target
Elastic 2yds – Joann Fabrics
Utility Knife-Target
Felt (ivory) – 1 yd- Joann Fabrics
Hot Glue Gun-Joann Fabrics
Letters with adhesive-Target
Sharpie

Starbucks- Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino

Jul 9, 2013

This is why I support brands that take great customer service seriously! Today at #Starbucks the barista who rung up my order forgot to write the order on a cup. When the barista filling the orders noticed I was standing there he asked “what are you having” and the other barista realized she never wrote my order on the cup.

She immediately handled me a free coupon on my next for a free beverage.

Can you guess what I am going to order? This is my favorite summertime drink at #Starbucks!   Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, pure chocolate indulgence!   This has mocha sauce blended with vanilla syrup, chocolaty chips, milk and ice, and topped with chocolaty whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles.  Every sip is infused with chocolate and unfortunately calories and sugar to go along with the goodness.   I only order the Tall(120z) which is 320 calories and 40g of sugar.  Now if I reduce to nonfat milk and no whipped cream (sobs) the drink is now the calories are 200 calories and 38g of sugar.

To save on the calories, I will make my next order with nonfat milk and no chocolaty whipped cream(still sobbing).
