The Great (and not so great) Pumpkin Stuff.

I'm addicted to Sephora. The most recent thing that I bought there was some Philosophy pumpkin pie shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. When I got it, Mom took a look at it, with its recipe for pumpkin pie on the front ...

... and said something both funny and somewhat horrifying. She said, "So, you just pour the whole thing into a pie shell? And you know ... heh heh heh ... the smell of pumpkin pie is supposed to be a ... what's the word? Afridoosiack."

Eeeek.

My reply was two-fold. "First of all, how about we don't bake my personal hygiene products. And also, I really would have liked that sentence better if you'd cut it about 17 words short."

With my Pumpkin Pie Afridoosiack, I got a sample of Sephora The Great Pumpkin Mask, which was supposed to make me glow. Maybe it was the cinnamon, I don't know, but owwwwww! I think it gave me 2nd degree burns. I must have misread the package -- I thought it said, "Your face will eat it up!" not "It will eat your face up!" I left it on for about 2 minutes and then I had to rinse it off, but you know -- I think I did look a little rosy afterwards. Even though my eyes were tearing.
