Pumpkin Spiced [insert food here]

It seems that you can make just about anything Pumpkin Spiced, but the question here is whether we really should.

Cheers everyone,

The first official day of Autumn is September 22, and if you're anything like me, you are probably ecstatic. Riding boots, cozy sweaters, leaves on the ground, football games... and Pumpkin Spice Lattes to keep you warm in the nippy weather.

Because the PSL is just so good, it has become more than just a popular Starbucks drink: it's a flavor. But are companies taking the PSL too far?

Here's a list of some good and bad (very bad) pumpkin spiced items on the market:

1. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips

I love them separately, but together? Absolutely not.

2. Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn


I feel like these have potential.

3. Pumpkin Pie Potato Chips


pls no

4. Pumpkin Spice Greek Yogurt

I've had it before, and it is pretty good

5. Mini Pumpkin Spiced Cupcakes

I can dig this

6. Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses


From experience, I can say with full confidence that these are amazing. Go buy 500 bags.

7. Pumpkin Spice Eggnog


Aside from the fact that this seems like too much sweet for even a Christmas elf to handle, it is mixing up two seasons. Don't try to rush my holiday spirit, Hershey!

8. Pumpkin Spice Milanos


I'll stick with the OG flavor, thanks!

9. Tastykake Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts


Oh Lord I want them

10. Pumpkin Rolls

I hope these are good because I am going to find these and make them ASAP.

BONUS!

Because...yeah. It has gone too far.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with the original (except for maybe those cute lil mini cupcakes).

Before we part, my gift to you this Autumn is a recipe for my personal fav recipe for a homemade PSL...because everything tastes better homemade! (Duh.)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 whole nutmeg
  • 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup espresso or very strong coffee
  • Whipped cream for serving
  • Cinnamon for garnish
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to a boil. Turn off heat and cover. Let mixture steep for 30 minutes.
  2. Divide espresso between 4 cups. Strain milk and divide between the 4 cups. Top each with dollop of whipped cream and dusting of cinnamon.

All credits go to the one and only Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/1084094/pumpkin-spice...

Comment what PSL products you would try and definitely wouldn't, and let me know if you try out my favorite recipe!

See ya next week!

xoxo, Emma Sophie

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
