"I've got the joy, joy, joy, down in my heart!" That's the song I keep hearing from my little one, while he carries a wreath around the house. My little Noah has associated that song with Christmas wreaths, since last year. Why? Because, last Christmas, we were shopping at Sam's Club when that song started playing, and Noah immediately fell in love with it! Since, it was Christmastime--he saw wreaths everywhere--he tied the two thoughts together to create his favorite "Christmas" song. To make it even cuter, he pronounces it "zoy." I cannot even begin to tell you how big my smile is when I hear "zoy, zoy, zoy" come from his adorable, little, wreath-holding self (he has one that he carries around like a toy, at Christmastime). My Noah really exudes Christmas joy, which makes Christmas shopping even more fun :)
We went shopping at Sam's Club this weekend and the entrance was adorn by a lovely Christmas Tree and there were gift sets and holiday items all around; I love holiday shopping! Sam's Club always reminds me of Noah, so the very second that I came though the door, "Joy, joy, joy" started playing in my head and continued to play on my "brain station" as I browsed the aisles. What I noticed was the beautiful display of Christmas decorations! There were adorable children's pajama sets and festive holiday gift sets--gotta come back here for Black Friday.
The warm coffee and sugar rush are the perfect combo to get anyone ready forrrr Black Friday Shopping!!! Actually, it's the perfect combo to boost you into any day! With a ready-made Artisan Fresh Cinnamon Roll and some Starbucks Holiday Blend coffee on the menu, even the sleepiest moms, dads or singles, or children can have a gourmet-style breakfast at home :)
I found the Starbucks display on the coffee aisle and it appeared that others had been there before I arrived. The crowd knows what's best, no doubt.
Buying Starbucks Holiday Blend coffee at Sam's Club is an exceptionally good idea, because you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. The bag is 28oz versus the 12 ounce bags at most retailers; do a little math and you'll see that you're saving a lot of money when you buy the 28oz bag. I keep it in an airtight container and scoop out what I need. I love that I don't have to replace the big bag, as often, which also saves me some money.
After a little browsing, I picked up a cool, protective case for the 3DS and headed out the door. I can't believe I was the second person in line, because Sam's Club is always hopping! I was checking out, right as everyone was coming in :)
As a long-time fan of Starbucks coffee--both at home and in shops--I can tell you that I love the Starbucks Holiday Blend. I find this coffee to be a delicious, aromatic blend that is perfectly bold; it's created from aged Sumatran beans. It's not too dark and not too light. I often buy my coffee in the range of medium (House Blend) to bold (espresso blend); the Holiday Blend satisfies me, quite well.
I topped my coffee off with a little nonfat cream and let the enticing Artisan Fresh Cinnamon Roll "call shotgun" on the coffee saucer. Pastries love to ride along with my coffee; I support "carpooling" at my breakfast table.
The Starbucks Holiday Blend has a delightful, warm, earthy finish that is perfectly inviting to the sweet Artisan Fresh Cinnamon Rolls. This coffee blend would beautifully compliment a meal with notes of ginger, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange, cloves--#DeliciousPairings for the holiday season.
I'm very brand-loyal to Starbucks, so when I can't enjoy their coffee at the local shop, I make it at home. I very often brew Starbucks coffee with the My K-Cup accessory to my Keurig. If I'm expecting a few guests (or if my husband is home), then I make a big ol' pot of Starbucks coffee, because it's always well-received. Well-Received means that everyone drinks it so fast, that I have to make another pot, which always makes me happy.
Wishing everyone joy, joy, joy, down in their heart!

It's the magic word, right? :D This coffee is so good, I wish I had it on tap in my house! =)
DeleteYum! Your photos are beautiful! Now I will not be able to walk into Sam's Club without singing the "Zoy, zoy, zoy, zoy, down in my heart!"
ReplyDeleteI'm baccck :) HI! I had to stop by and tell you what an amazing job you did with your first Social Fabric shop. I know this one must have been fun considering it's Starbucks AND yummy cinnamon rolls. I probably gained a few pounds daydreaming about that pastry.. yep I need that in my life stat. The photos look great along with your shop. I can't wait to follow your shops and blog posts in the future. I have been so busy lately I haven't brought myself to apply for anymore until we get back from Disney. So for now I am going to live vicariously through yours.. hehe
