3. Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub
Body scrubs are one of God’s gifts to the world. There is no better feeling than shaving after using a body scrub. The scrub gets rid of dead skin, leaving you feeling smooth and fresh.

4. Pumpkin Spice Soap
While I am sure many of you love going to Bath and Body Works to buy their vast array of pumpkin-themed hand soaps, I can assure you that the college-budget does not. Try out these handmade soaps for either your shower or sink. Homemade soap is a classic DIY project, so why not put a pumpkin spice twist on it? Tis the season.
5. Pumpkin Spice Mason Jar Candle
Mason jar candles are the aesthetic of the year. Learning how to make your own candles is a penny-saving skill. Not only will you be able to customize your own scents to your own liking, but you will be able to customize the look to fit your own style. If you live in a place that does not allow the burning of candles, don’t fear! Take out the wick and turn the candle into wax melts, which are great for use with dorm-friendly wax melters. Less fire hazard, same aroma. It’s a win-win for you and your RA.
