Starbucks Has A Big Secret
Polyvore

If you go to any restaurant, chances are they have a secret menu. Secret menus are in restaurants everywhere and definitely have their purpose. Usually when customers do not see what they want to order, they do something creative and unappealing and just make their own customized meal telling the server what ingredients go in to the recipe. One of the most widespread cafe chains, Starbucks, is a popular choice for secret menu items. This came as a surprise to me since I did not know until recently that Starbucks had a secret menu. I am aware their sister company, Jamba Juice, has a ton of smoothie beverages on their secret menu from the purple gummy bear to fruity pebbles.

Since this new piece of information has reached my ears, I began searching the world wide web for any recipes and drinks Starbucks has to offer that we might not be aware of. Below are the top four drinks I highly recommend trying. These drinks are blended, making them perfect for a hot summer day. Please keep in mind that most baristas will not know how to make these drinks, so the recipe will be provided. Just say these steps and the barista will be good to go.

1. Purple Drink

As part of the secret rainbow drink line from Starbucks, the Purple Drink is passion tea mixed with berries from the Starbucks refresher line and vanilla soy milk. If you want a more delicious tasting Purple Drink, coconut milk or almond milk would be a great substitute.


2. Cherry Blossom Frappuccino

Originally available as a promotional special for the month of March, this drink can be made to order year-round (just like McDonald’s Shamrock Shake). It is really sweet and really heavy so perhaps a "light" frappuccino would be the best way to go. All this drink is made of is matcha green tea mixed with strawberry syrup, white chocolate sauce, and matcha drizzle. Top this off with whipped cream and matcha powder.


3. Bubble Gum Frappuccino

This frappuccino is pretty good. To make it, all you need to do is order a strawberry creme frappuccino with 2-3 pumps of raspberry syrup added into the mix. Do not add any classic syrup unless you like it extra sweet. Whipped cream also makes it pretty good as well.


4. Mojito Refresher

Now most Starbucks out there do not really serve alcohol but this virgin Mojito Refresher is the closest thing that they serve in bars. The recipe is a cool lime refresher mixed with classic syrup, peppermint syrup and is blended with ice. Perfect on a sunny day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
