Starbucks Pop'zel Coffee Frappuccino® Blended Beverage

Summer is already here and it's one of the best seasons to bond with friends and family! To make summer more exciting and refreshing, Starbucks is introducing a new Frappuccino® flavor and will bring back a well-loved flavor from last year.

A returning favorite, the Roasted Marshmallow S'mores Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is flavored with vanilla, layered with smooth marshmallow whipped cream, indulgent chocolate sauce, and graham crumble. This delicious concoction is then finished with whipped cream and more graham crumble on top.

Get ready for an unexpected throwback as Starbucks brings together two of our childhood favorites—popcorn and pretzels—in one delectable drink. Pop'zel Coffee Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is blended with delicious popcorn and pretzel syrup and topped with real caramel popcorn and salted pretzel over whipped cream.

Both flavors will be available for a limited time only starting April 18.

“This summer, the iconic Frappuccino® blended beverages are inspired by our customers’ personalities: fun, creative and bold,” said Keith Cole, marketing head for Starbucks Philippines. “We have created beverages that match customers’ summer moods, handcrafted with flavors that blend sweet with savory or delight with the most exciting toppings”.

Starbucks VIA® Iced Coffee is a new kind of refreshment that is perfect during summer at home. With its flavor profile defined by hints of citrus and a caramelly-smooth finish.


For an exotic coffee flavor, here's the Starbucks Reserve® Nicaragua La Roca.

I've heard a lot of clinics that are starting to offer Glutathione services in the city, mainly through friends raving about this technique in administering Glutathione via IV drip. They say the effects are much faster than taking a pill or using soap with Glutathione. I was a bit scared to try but was really curious about it. FYI, I've never had this procedure done in my life, thank God!

So a friend of mine tapped me to try the services of Gluhen Gluta Center, a skin clinic located at Villa Conchita, Rivera Village here in Davao. Again I was a bit hesitant at first but finally found the courage to test it out. The benefits appealed to me, especially the detoxification (I eat a LOT), so it was definitely worth a shot.

When I got there, I met Riz and Erik Caballero, the owners of the clinic. They were really accommodating and even introduced me to their staff. They have 3 full-time nurses who administer the IV Drip and a physician for consultations. I was amazed after they showed me all their packages and the materials they use for my IV drip. Riz showed me the ampule and the vial and explained the step by step procedure. They also presented a waiver and explained the benefits and possible complications. After that, I felt much more at ease and comfortable. I was thinking, hey, this may not be so bad after all.

The nurse then started the procedure and was able to hit my vein in just one prick. The feeling was a bit weird at first but, I got used to it. It took 30 minutes to finish the contents of the bag. She asked me to contact them immediately if I had any adverse reactions.


Here's the package they offered me:



Here are their other packages:



This is me during my first visit at the clinic.




This is me a day after my first session. FYI - These photos are not edited and filtered.

After my 4th and last session


Based on my experience, I can really see the difference on my face and skin. My skin became fair and I had no breakouts. I also felt very cleansed because I was able to lose my bowel once or twice a day. According to Ritz, you can have a session every 2 days. You can have more than 4 sessions depending on your preference.

I am really happy with the results and to be honest, I highly recommend this than taking a Gluta pill. If you want faster results, try the Glutathione IV Drip. It may be uncomfortable sometimes, but you can really see and feel the effects immediately. Just a reminder, that Glutathione is an antioxidant and not a skin whitening product. Having a fair skin is just one of its effects, :)

I highly recommend that you visit Gluhen Glutathione Center if you've decided to try it. From licensed and experienced staff, owners, and best products, you'll be secured to get the best service here in Davao City.

They now have 2 clinics in the metro!
