If the chillier air around campus or the fallen leaves coating Locust walk hasn’t given it away, then the return of Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte must have! Yes that is right, fall has arrived! Among many things, fall is an excuse to break out the large sweaters, the boots, switch your coffee order to hot instead of iced, wear scarves, add cinnamon to everything you eat, and start thinking about Halloween costumes. I know, that last one is stressful. Halloween costumes can consume a person’s October! For many, the moment the calendar hits October 1st, the search for the perfect costume (or costumes) begins. But, since we are more than two weeks away, why not take a break from costume hunting and start some creative and fun DIY projects that bring the scent and spirit of fall into your home (or dorm). Here are four DIY projects to spice up your life this fall season!
1. Looking to pamper your self or want to give the perfect, fall gift to someone? Try making this Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub.
