Would You Like to Chai It?

It's no secret that I often need a pickmeup during the day. Sometimes it's a snack, sometimes it's just a beloved ice cold Diet Coke, but other times I need a little something more. Enter: Starbucks Iced Chai

I'm actually drinking one as I type!

However, this little number can have a bit of a pricetag. While it's necessary sometimes, other times I can't just swing $4 unnecessarily for a drink that's gone in 5 minutes and sometimes, quite frankly, has a bit too much ice. (Take that Starbucks!)

So, I've started to make my own! Not how you'd think though. I don't really like the Chai concentrate that Starbucks sells, so instead I got the Walmart kind:

Often times, they even sell it in TWO-PACKS!

So basically the way it works is that you put ice in a big cup (or Tervis Water Bottle if you're me...to-go...obviously!) add as much chai juice as you want--I do about a 1:1 ratio--and then top it off with milk. SO EASY right?!

Yes, so easy. And cheap. One box of chai concentrate runs you about $4 and makes about 6 drinks when you add the milk in with it. Not a bad deal right. Usually too, the twofer pack is around $7! That's more than 10 drinks plus the cost of milk and you will still run WAY less than anything Starbucks could come up with!

Do you chai? What's your go-to drink? (Sorry for all those coffee lovers, that's just not my game!)

You're Flagged!

As about 99% of you all know, this is the facebook icon for Pages!

I'm excited to announce that the Let's Be Preppy fan page has updated to the new Timeline! 

The page Timeline is a little more confusing than the standard profile Timeline, but I'm excited to use the new platform and get used to it. As soon as I do understand it all, I'm sure good ol' facebook will flip something! (Am I the only one who feels like that happens all the time?!)

I'm still working out the kinks, but it's a fun transition! 

What do you think of the new Timeline?

Tons of BIG companies and fan pages are using Timeline:

The Titanic page is one of my favorites!!

The Bachelor is even using Timeline too!

I think the most effective Timeline user is Starbucks. Starbucks is getting a ton of credit among the social media websites for it's creative use and immediate adoption of the Timeline feature for pages:

Check out the far right side, and you'll see that Starbucks has sincerely completed their company timeline, dating back to their opening in the 80's. Pretty cool, huh!

Do you like Timeline for pages?
