From The Club

Where are my 2011 YouTube girlies at? 🙋🏻‍♀️You know we’re nearing fall when you see Bethany Mota, Eva Gutowski, or Alisha Marie pull out Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte when doing their morning routine or haul videos! Those times when we beg our parents to drive us to Starbucks just to get a taste of their pumpkin-flavored drinks and treats. Do you remember posting them on Instagram and tagging your favorite YouTubers? Oh, those were the good times to be a teenager! It’s nice to see Starbucks consistently bringing their fall menu, especially the Pumpkin Spice Latte, for the 21st year! Looks like I’ll drive by Starbucks now with my big girl money and order a Pumpkin Spice Latte for old times’ sake.
