Starbucks - First Blog Post


Hello Starbucks lovers. Today, I began a blog about Starbucks. I have started this blog because I, personally, love Starbucks coffee and can't walk past a Starbucks without going in and buying some. My personal favorite is the Mocha Frappuccino in the sizes either Grande or Venti, depending on my thirst and mood. As we all know, sadly, the Frappuccino Happy Hour which lasted from May 7th until May 16th has ended on Sunday and now my constant frappuccino purchases are lessening. I always, however, will love the mocha frappuccino and all the happiness it brings to me and all of its drinkers.
