Confession! Every September, I feel my whole soul shift. The air gets crisper, the leaves start whispering their golden secrets, and suddenly—I’m that girl clutching a pumpkin spice latte like it’s liquid gold. And I’m not ashamed to admit it: I love pumpkin-flavored season. And I know I am BLACK and I LOVE PUMPKIN! LOL
I don’t even remember the first time I had a pumpkin spice latte , but I do remember how it made me feel. Warm, cozy, like I was wrapped in a blanket of cinnamon and memories. That first sip hits different—it’s like fall in a cup, and it makes me slow down, breathe, and just be.
And now? It’s become a ritual. Every year, pumpkin spice kicks off my favorite season. It’s like the unofficial start to the holidays, and I love how something so simple can feel so special.
I’ll be honest—if it says pumpkin on the label, I’m probably buying it. And I don’t regret a single thing.
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew – My go-to when I want the fall vibe but still need that strong caffeine hit.
Pumpkin Pancakes – Breakfast feels like a little celebration when I whip these up.
Pumpkin Creamer is a MUST – Don’t even get me started. My whole house smells like cozy fall heaven.
Pumpkin Pie – This isn’t optional. It’s tradition. Period.

And listen, HEB is my weakness. I walk in for “just one thing” and come out with pumpkin butter, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin granola… you name it. It’s dangerous, but in the best way.
Let’s be real: pumpkin season is basically the official influencer starter pack. Cozy fit? Check. Boots?...Cowgirl Boots at that! Check. Latte in hand for the perfect fall pic? Double check. Even if you’re not posting it, it still feels like you’re living in your own little fall movie.
Pumpkin season is more than flavor—it’s comfort. It’s nostalgia. It’s slowing down and actually enjoying little things. And with how wild life gets? I need that.
So yes, I’m obsessed. No, I’m not ashamed. Pumpkin season makes me feel good, and I’m going to ride this pumpkin spice wave until winter kicks me out.
What about y’all? What’s YOUR go-to pumpkin treat? Drop it in the comments—I need to know if you’re team latte, team candle, or team “give me everything pumpkin.”
