10 Ways To Add Pumpkin Spice Into Your Life, Aside From Going To Starbucks

It's officially fall and you know what that means.

It's pumpkin season b*tches.

Now is the time when the pumpkin-obsessed can come out of hiding without shame and proclaim their love for all things pumpkin spice. I'd like to say I'm a day one pumpkin fan. Since I can remember, I've loved everything pumpkin flavored, my favorite being the timeless classic, pumpkin pie. Obviously, the game has evolved, and now we have #blessings like the world renown pumpkin spice latte from Starbs. But it doesn't just stop there. You can literally incorporate pumpkin spice into all aspects of your life. Here's how.

Pumpkin Spice Milk

Step aside plain, old boring milk. Pumpkin spice almond milk is here to stay, for a season at least. This milk is a win-win for dairy and non-dairy drinkers alike. It's super creamy and thick, and perfect for the season. Sadly it's only around during fall, so stock up!

Pumpkin Spice Granola

Along with your pumpkin spice milk, you can have pumpkin spice cereal/granola. It's a sweet treat and tastes good in just about anything, cereal, yogurt, on top of ice cream, you name it.

Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream (OMFG YASSS)

Speaking of ice cream... I'm screaming! I live for Halo top ice cream (the non-dairy flavors of course. #veganprobs) But the fact that they offer a seasonal pumpkin pie flavor is amazing. And also a perfect excuse to indulge in it.

Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars

You can even incorporate pumpkin spice into your workout routine! RX offers seasonal pumpkin spice bars, and they're an awesome post workout snack. But let's be honest, you can eat these bars anytime and any place. Post nap, post homework, you get it...

Pumpkin Spice Alcohol

Luckily pumpkin spice season aligns with tailgating season, and combining the two is a match made in heaven. There's pumpkin spice beer, vodka, and even cider! (Which is my personal favorite.)

Pumpkin Spice Lotion

Moving on from food, you can pumpkin spice-ify your beauty routine! Hempz pumpkin spice & vanilla chai body moisturizer will have your skin feeling soft, and smelling dreamy all day.

Pumpkin Spice Hand Soap

I love the smell of pumpkin spice. It's one of my favorite things about fall. If you love it too, and you're an obsessive hand washer like me, you're going to love this soap. It's perfect for the season, and smells absolutely delightful, obviously!

Pumpkin Spice Candle

As previously mentioned, one of my favorite things about pumpkin spice is the smell. It gives me such a warm and cozy fall feeling. So, you can bet that my apartment will be crawling with pumpkin spice candles. I get mine at Marshall's, but you can pretty much find pumpkin spice candles anywhere.

Pumpkin Spice Car Freshener

Did I mention I love the smell of pumpkin spice?! Not only can you make your apartment or dorm smelling amazing, but you can also make your car, too!

Pumpkin Spice Jewelry

Okay, I might be taking things too far but this bracelet is stinkin' cute, and I'm a sucker for jewelry. It being pumpkin spice color infused is really just an excuse for me to buy it.

That's all I can think of for now, and I'm sure you're probably sick of reading the words, "pumpkin spice," So, with that said. Happy pumpki... I mean fall!

P.S. If you can't find all of the products I've mentioned, no worries. There are loads of alternatives. Luckily, the world pretty much gets the pumpkin spice craze, so every store will have a pumpkin spiced something.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
