19 Signs That Pumpkin Spice Has Gone Too Far
HuffingtonPost

Fall. The season where every girl get's made fun of for doing "basic fall activities." Since when is it okay to be teased for going to a pumpkin patch? Or to wear sweaters and boots while drinking a pumpkin spice latte? Which brings me to my next point: the pumpkin obsession. Personally, I have never been too obsessed with "pumpkin spice". One of my friends this year even said to me "I'm so surprised you don't love pumpkin spice, you're one of the most basic people I know." Oh. So then I tried it again and liked it, so yes, I will drink a pumpkin spice coffee if I absolutely have to. After accepting my "basicness," I started to realize how much unnecessary pumpkin spice items there are in the fall and it's getting to be a little too much. When you go to the grocery store in the fall, everywhere you turn is pumpkin spice this, pumpkin spice that.

1. Pumpkin Spice Hair

I saw an article about this the other day. Don't get me wrong, I think red hair is gorgeous, but if you dye your hair orange to be "fall trendy," I just think YOU won most basic award.

2. Pumpkin Spice Dog Food

What did your dog ever do to you?

3. Pumpkin Spice Vodka

Are you serious?

4. Pumpkin Spice Oreos

I don't trust anyone who doesn't prefer double stuffed over any other type of Oreo.

5. Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows

I haven't tried these, but maybe they have potential to be good in a s'more!

6. Pumpkin Spice English Muffins

Nothing like some artificially pumpkin flavored bread! But it's limited edition, so get it while it lasts!

7. Pumpkin Spice Pop Tarts

For your everyday sugary breakfast pumpkin needs!

8. Pumpkin Spice M&Ms

I'm running out of stuff to say about this. How do they even make this happen? Has anyone ever tried this before and does it REALLY taste like pumpkin? (The M&M's face really says it all.)

9. Pumpkin Spice Sausage

Sorry, vegetarians: you can't your pumpkin spice fix this way! Also WHO thought to make sausage pumpkin spice?

10. Pumpkin Spice Feminine Products

I am not sure if this is an internet joke or not, but I REALLY hope it's a joke.

11. Pumpkin Spice Cookies

You can't go wrong with cookies. Well, maybe sometimes, but I bet these aren't too bad.

12. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips

For all you healthy people who want to get some pumpkin in your life, just eat some kale chips!


13. Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Okay, I am a fan of this product because who wants to pay $4 for a PSL everyday? Not me!

14. Pumpkin Spice Gum

Interesting.....

15. Pumpkin Spice Yogurt

I bet this is actually pretty good, too.

16. Pumpkin Spice Hummus

Sorry, but I will not be trying this one out.

17. Pumpkin Spice Shampoo

Because who doesn't LOVE smelling like pumpkins?!

18. Pumpkin Spice Lotion

Again, why not smell like a pumpkin while drinking PSLs?

19. Last, but certainly not least: all hail the Pumpkin Spice Latte

The original. The best. The reason for all the madness.

Is it Christmas time yet?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
