Starbucks Siren (Green) Planner

Starbucks Siren Planner

Also known as the OG Starbucks branding, Starbucks shares its tradition of coffee-making mastery through its iconic Siren. It paints a picture of its wonderful journey in delivering the best-tasting coffee, from the sourcing of the beans to the serving in one’s cup. The 2021 Starbucks Philippines Planner in the brand’s signature green color comes in a hardbound recycled PU (synthetic) leather cover, with meticulous details of the mythical Siren debossed on its front cover.

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry (Yellow) Planner

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner

Perfect for those who love the Starbucks Teavana™ offerings, this fun, yellow planner was inspired by the traditions from many cultures, as well as a fun, modern, Western spin on tea-drinking, with the aim of giving zest to people’s vibrant and joyful passions. Bringing more colors to people’s lives, the 2021 Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner features intrinsic details of the Siren Tail in gold, embossed on its recycled PU leather cover.

As the brand introduces this year’s much-awaited planners, Starbucks stays true to its commitment to supporting sustainable movements. The pages of the Starbucks Siren and Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planners are produced with eco-friendly paper in a facility certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) — an independent, non-profit organization to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Starbucks Frappuccino® Coral Pink Organizer 

(with multifunctional carrier)

If there’s any beverage that gets people creative in expressing their truest selves, it would have to be the Frappuccino. This delicious and creamy blend fuses multiple indulgent flavors that make the best sip of the season.

Starbucks Frappuccino Coral Pink Organizer

The Starbucks Frappuccino® Organizer in coral pink pops in a posh and youthful color with a sleek multifunctional carrier laced by a premium rose gold Starbucks logo zipper pull. It consists of several built-in pockets where people can conveniently place their IDs, credit cards, Starbucks Cards, and even hand sanitizers, enabling them to house their essentials as they deliver on their state of play.

If you've been following me for quite some time already, you probably know that I'm an avid collector of Starbucks cards. My penchant for the limited and special edition cards grew bigger as time passes by. With the introduction of their new and improved Starbucks Rewards Program last July 17, I knew I had to head to the nearest branch and experience it myself. Let me take you through my experience! 😉

Before my Starbucks visit

I was asked to update my old password in-app and soon after, I saw myself navigating around the refreshed interface. It was a breeze going through each section and I found myself gushing by the idea that I can FINALLY reload my account in-app! All that's needed is to update my profile and connect my debit or credit card. My initial thought is that my coffee run is about to become faster and smoother in the coming days! 😍

At the Starbucks Branch

With the new Starbucks Rewards, members can now get one Star with every Php25 spent on almost everything they buy in stores using their registered card or app. For every 100 Stars, customers can redeem a reward and choose among their favorite handcrafted beverage, pastry, or slice of cake on the house.

I kind of kicked-off the year strong because I started attending yoga and pilates classes with my officemates. I truly enjoyed the sessions and actually fell in love with it for two reasons — improved flexibility and more calories burned without the daunting equipment. 

May 1 has kicked in and so is the scorching heat of the sun because of summer! I'm sure everyone's finding an escape from the intense heat. You can most probably see me lounging at (you've guessed it) Starbucks. HAHA For the past weekends, I've found myself staying in Starbucks to blog and work on different stuff. (Say hello should you see me in one of their branches).

Since we have no choice but to embrace summer, Starbucks has launched exciting stuff to make this weather more bearable. You've probably heard about their new frappuccino flavors: Tea-ramisu Frappuccino and the Midnight Mocha Frappuccino.
