"Can pumpkins make you prettier? Perhaps. They&amp;#x27;re certainly loaded with beta-carotene, and because of their antioxidant content, they&amp;#x27;re often a main ingredient in peels (in fact, there&amp;#x27;s a professional Pumpkin Peel being offered by derms and plastic surgeons, such as NYC&amp;#x27;s Nina Naidu, who says pumpkins have the highest concentration of salicylic acid of any plant). But beyond all that sciencey stuff, pumpkin products are just fun to have around in the fall. My favorite this year is ... A spicy jack-o-lantern soap from Lush (that cool organic brand we chatted about a couple months back--though I can&amp;#x27;t seem to find the link). Adorbs. A perfect way to make a warm shower on a cold fall day feel extra-cozy. Of course, there are plenty of other pumpkiny beauty products to pick from. There are pumpkin-scented shampoos (perfect for the 29 percent of you obsessed with having pretty-smelling hair), pumpkiny body washes and lotions, pumpkin lip gloss and even pumpkin-flavored toothpaste. Check &amp;#x27;em out. Have you guys ever used a pumpkiny beauty product? Are you guzzling Starbucks pumpkin lattes or burning a pumpkiny scented candle this fall? What about actual pumpkins: Do you buy them/carve them in the fall? Personally, I have a weakness for little guords ... I have no room for such clutter in my tiny apartment, but they are so teensy and nostalgic that I can&amp;#x27;t resist grabbing a few at the farmer&amp;#x27;s market. More yummy fall fun: * The curried-carrot soup that makes my skin glow--I swear I&amp;#x27;m not just hallucinating! * Pumpkin-pie oatmeal? Um, yum. * Healthy Halloween candy made from pumpkin seeds!
