Weekly Bougie Moment: My Starbucks Staples

11:56 PM

In another attempt to staying true to what my blog is all about - which is literally just my random daily musings - I'm here on another blog post sharing with you two of my bougie staples. But before I introduce you to this delightful afternoon snack combo, let me make a quick definition on what I mean when I say the word "bougie". I've been out and about with this word since the appearance of my new alter ego, Cecilia Astrid.

What is Bougie? Bougie is a slang term for the word "bourgeoise" defined by Oxford Dictionary as the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production. Personally, I use the term whenever I feel like I want to be fancy af.

Now that we've got "defining the terms" out of the way, let's get into the whole reason why this combo is my go-to bougie snack.

Iced Matcha Latte with Vanilla Syrup - Priced at 210 PHP, this drink has been my favorite Starbucks staple since February this year. I wasn't a really huge fan of Starbucks but when I had their iced matcha latte, it instantly became my absolute fave. But I know matcha isn't everyone's cup of tea, in fact, some even think it's kind of overrated. Personally, I am quite picky when it comes to my matcha. So some stores that offer matcha flavored snacks, I'm not really a big fan of. Starbucks' Matcha Latte is simply just a relaxing drink for me.

Double Chocolate Pecan Bar - Priced at 115 PHP/bar, this brownie snack isn't for the diabetics. It is quite sweet, and personally, I am not able to finish the entire bar in one sitting, maybe if I am working or doing something else on my laptop, I'd be able to munch everything up.

So why I love this combo, you ask? The slightly bitter aftertaste of the matcha perfectly complements and balances out the overpowering sweetness of the chocolate bar.

I hope I have convinced you to try out my go-to bougie snack tho.
