Belated Thirsty Thursday: K-cup of the Week

Before I begin, let me just say sorry for having this post be belated! I had all these Halloween-themed posts I was thinking of doing, but none of them happened because it took me forever to get into my costume (well, the thigh high socks and leggings mostly) with me being in a wheelchair. That being said, I also didn't want to post this too late last night while everyone was out, so I figured I'd just put it up today. Monday's still a thirsty day, right? (at least around here it is....yeesh) **NOTE: Okay....so this was supposed to go up Thursday, I wrote most of it on Friday, and then forgot about it over the weekend, so it's actually a Thirsty Monday. Sorry!!! I've been aching to blog all day though, so let's get on with it.**

Also, this week's "K-cup of the Week" is more like a K-cup of the Day / my Halloween cup of joe. I realized that between last Thursday and yesterday, I'd only spent two nights on campus. TWO! And I'm supposed to be living here full time...HA! That was mostly because I've been all over the place getting specialists to look at my foot/ankle and getting MRIs. So, needless to say, I haven't been around my Keurig baby enough to have been using a huge variety of K-cups. 

Miranda recently bought the Dunkin Donuts Peppermint Mocha coffee K-cups, and thought yesterday morning would be a good time to try them out. I made some for both of us, and with the two of us dancing around in our pajamas with matching coffees, I felt like we were in a Clean & Clear Morning Burst commercial lol. I picked out my most Halloween-y mug, my Wicked Witch of the West mug, and we used some International Delight French Vanilla creamer, the powdered kind. It was actually a really good combination. I was a little afraid the peppermint would make the vanilla curdle or something, but it was 100% fine and 100% delish.

So this is my fave coffee combo of the week, even though it's kind of cheating to say that since I only had it once. I actually haven't used my Keurig since Halloween, but next time I do I'll have to try this one out again! It's really good and not so peppermint-y that you feel like you skipped right over Thanksgiving and are in holly jolly holidays mode! 

Hope you all had a great Halloween- I'll have to post some pictures in a later post this week! Some of them came out pretty cute!

Thirsty Thursday: K-Cup of the Week

It's that day of the week again: Thursday. The day everyone does #Throwbacks on Instagram (where you should follow me @elleohelle86, by the way....), the day college kids go out and party and miss their 8 ams the next day, and the day that I, MissGlamBAM, nominate my K-cup of the week.

If you missed last week's episode, you can read it here.

This week, my pick came in a box of free samples I requested from target.com/samples (see picture below)

This isn't sponsored by Target and I'm not partnered with them or anything (they don't even know I'm tellin y'all dis), but I just thought I'd share since I signed up for these and some Clearasil wash! Someone posted the link on Twitter, I applied, answered a couple survey questions, and these were in my mailbox 2 weeks later!

The box was super cute and I show it in a haul I just edited that probs won't be up for a week or so, and it came with 4 Snapple K-cups, 2 peach and 2 lemon iced teas, and then a coupon for $2 off. And you all know how much I love coupons, so I was super excited. 

I've always wanted to try these! My favorite this week, to my own surprise, is actually the Snapple Lemon Iced Tea Brew Over Ice K-cup. Normally I'm more of a peach person and love the bottled version of it, but for some reason I've been reaching for the lemon ones this week and haven't even touched the peach ones. 

I like these because they're just as sweet as the bottled ones, but taste more fresh, since you just brewed it in your Keurig and all. The lemon isn't tart, and as someone who usually despises lemon-flavored things, these have a perfect iced tea taste in my opinion. It's not that artificial flavor of iced teas you buy from a vending machine, nor is it that super sugary-sweet flavor you get from sweet teas- it's a perfect in between that has a little grit and bitterness to it, but also a lot of sweet and fruity flavor. They're just great!

Brew Over Ice K-cups never really work that well for me....I put an entire ice cube tray in the cup, and then the cubes are all melted two minutes later and my drink is still half hot...wtf? I like to brew it over ice, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes, then add more ice, and THEN it's truly cold. Just a tip (:

What's your favorite tea or coffee drink this week? Do you have a Keurig? Have you mastered the technique of Brew Over Ice K-cups yet? (cuz I sure haven't....awkz)
