Pumpkin seems to be the prevailing flavor of the season — pumpkin pies, muffins, savory dishes and of course pumpkin spiced lattes!

What I think: I love purchasing Bath and Body Works hand soaps once a season. They have tons of great Fall (and Winter) scents, and that means many different pumpkin soaps! I like this one because it is sweet and creamy — you can smell the pumpkin, coffee and even the marshmallow! I keep this one in my bathroom! Don’t forget to check out their sales, I always try to get my soaps on the 5 for $18 sales, but they are usually 4 for $15, which is a great deal, too.
