Orange is the New Black: My Favorite Pumpkin Products for Fall 2013

Truth be told, I am kinda obsessed with all things pumpkin and come Fall, I am one happy camper because pumpkins are in abundance. Think Halloween, pumpkin bread, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin bars, pumpkin lattes and pumpkin peels just to name a few. I get rather giddy sampling all things pumpkin during this time of year and I am delighted to share the cream of the crop/my favorite pumpkin inspired goodies this season. Hope you enjoy and I’d love for you to share any fab pumpkin discoveries of your own.

Paleta Farm-To-Table Meal Delivery Pumpkin Pie Magic Milkshakes ($69/6 Pack, pictured above) This heavenly healthy pumpkin infused nut milk might quite possibly be one of my favorite pumpkin indigestibles of all time!! YES it’s that amazingly good! Paleta makes the most gorgeous and delicious farm-to-table food around, and if I could afford it, I’d eat their food on a more regular basis. The most recent addition to their fab offerings are fresh fruit/vegetable juices and nut milks and the Pumpkin Pie Magic Milkshake is one of their seasonal offerings. This divine creation made with pumpkin, almond, coconut, date, vanilla bean, filtered h20, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sea salt is so popular that they decided to offer it in a special 6 pack through the end of November, don’t miss out on this one!

MyChelle Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser ($18) This yummy cleanser gently washes away surface impurities, environmental toxins and excess cell build-up while protecting your skin’s moisture balance. It’s loaded with vitamins and exfoliating enzymes, pumpkin fruit and honey to hydrate and refine your skin’s surface and blue green algae which is rich in minerals and antioxidants to enrich your skin and help soothe redness and irritation. I love the spicy pumpkin scent of this cleanser and how soft my skin feels after using it.

Personal Creations Design Your Own Pumpkin Table Décor How cute are these personalized decorative resin pumpkins? Personal Creations is a fab site that allows you to customize tons of fun items like these adorbs Halloween pumpkins. These pumpkins come in small and large sizes (the large has metal leaves and a vine attached to it), twelve face designs and the option to personalize it with any name you want. I adore that you can make one for each member of your family (even your dog) and use them again year after year = LOVE!

Senna Moisture Lip Treatment Balm with Pumpkin Seed Oil ($16) This is probably one of the best lip lovin’ balms that I have tried in a long time. It contains the beautifully emollient Pumpkin Seed Oil, which is rich in vegetable esters and essential fatty acids that totally nourish your lips. This balm instantly hydrates, moisturizes and softens your lips while protecting them from harsh environmental aggressors. This is a new fall must-have for my purse!

Earthly Body Smashing Pumpkin 3-in-1 Suntouched Massage Oil Candle-Limited Edition/Seasonal ($15.99) I adore Earthly Body’s Massage Oil Candles because they contain a gorgeous blend of seven natural oils (including hemp & soy) that smell divine and produce a wonderfully warm massage oil/moisturizer when it melts. I would describe the Smashing Pumpkin scent as a creamy, warm spicy pumpkin that totally captures the coziness of Fall. I’d take a bath in it if I could!

Arcona Pumpkin Lotion ($35) This slightly spicy light orange-hued lotion is a highly active body lotion infused with pumpkin extracts and glycolic acid (available in 10% or 20% strength) to improve the tone, texture and elasticity of your skin. I love discovering impressive anti-aging products that really work on your body, and not only does this lotion smell all kinds of pumpkiny yumminess, it also noticeably transforms the texture of your skin both immediately and over time.

Makes Scents Natural Spa Line Handmade Pumpkin Sorbet Body Scrub ($25) I am totally loving this handmade autumn-inspired pumpkin scrub made with dried pumpkin, raw sugar, sweet almond, coconut, rice bran and avocado oil. This vitamin and antioxidant infused body scrub smells like a slice of fresh cinnamony pumpkin pie and it thoroughly removes unwanted skin and leaves your skin smooth and rejuvenated. I love that you can see the bits of pumpkin incorporated throughout this scrub, that it has a nice hearty sugary texture and especially that when you activate the scrubbing action on your body, it releases a refreshing burst of cinnamon that totally awakens your senses and captures the essence of Fall. YUM!!

 

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Pumkin Bubble Bar ($5.95) How adorbs is this Halloween inspired bubble bar from Lush? This cute lil’ pumkin is has a fresh earthy scent of orange flower absolute and ylang ylang oil and it’s topped off with a black licorice stem. Leave this little guy out on your bathtub for a super cute holiday decoration and when you are ready, just crumble it into your bath for mounds of fun bubbles and orange water.
