PETITES AT STARBUCKS!


In one of my recentposts I mentioned that Starbucks is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Well, in addition to the Tribute Blend and new logo Starbucks is also going to be selling a variety of delicious new pastries! I sampled them on Sunday at a meeting and they are all absolutely amazing! They are all mini pastries and all under 200 calories so they are perfect or anyone who wants to watch their weight in the coming summer months! There are four categories of these desserts: Cake Pops, Cupcakes, Sweet Squares, and lastly a Whoopie Pie.
CAKE POPS:
-Birthday Cake Pops: vanilla cake with pink frosting
-Rocky Road Cake Pop: Chocolate with marshmallows and other miscellaneous toppings
-Tiramisu Cake Pop: pretty self explanatory (my favorite Cake Pop)

CUPCAKES:
-Carrot Cake (AMAZING)
-Peanut butter

SWEET SQUARES:
-Lemon (veerrryyy lemony)
-Salted Caramel (delicious!)

WHOOPIE PIE:
-Red Velvet: (SOO GOODDDD!!)

So my favorites from the sampling are definitely the Tiramisu Cake Pop, Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Carrot Cake Cupcake, and the Salted Caramel Sweet Square! Even more exciting news: from March 10-12 (2p-5p) with every tall beverage you purchase you receive one petite for free! Be sure to check out these and many other new products and promotions at Starbucks.com! Or even like Starbucks on Facebook!

Lady Gaga: The New Face of Polaroid!


Well well, looks like Polaroid is making a comeback! It feels like just yesterday that Polaroid announced it was going bankrupt and would stop making its instant film. Polaroid is back though, and causing a stir! Polaroid is now making classic looking cameras with built in printers. The film and camera company just announced that Lady Gaga will be working as the new creative director for a specialty line of Polaroid imaging products.
This collaboration exemplifies Polaroid's standing tradition of innovation and Lady Gaga's mission to deliver products that enable creativity for all, and celebrate artistry. The new Polaroid Grey Label line is truly expressive of Lady Gaga's artistic vision.
