Welcome to Season 2.

Hello. It’s time for Season 2 of Too Much Pumpkin Spice.

If you were a reader last season, thank you for coming back!
If you are new to the TMPS family, welcome!

The premise of this project is simple: for the each of the 31 days of October, I will purchase, taste, and review a pumpkin/pumpkin spice item.

With each entry, I’ll do my best to offer a little bit of product history, humor, a buyer’s guide, and an honest review. A few important notes: I’m not sponsored, I pay for all of my products, and every opinion is my own.

While I originally planned on only doing one season, the overwhelmingly positive response to last year convinced me to go for a round 2. As of today, I have a whole new set of items that I am so excited to share with you!

Also new this season: Official Too Much Pumpkin Spice Instagram and Facebook pages. Follow me! @toomuchpumpkinspice on FB/IG! I’m also working on Twitter, but my tweet game is not nearly as strong.


If you want more background about the blog: The Challenge: Welcome to Pumpkinville
For a funny history of pumpkin spice and some math on the $$ it has generated: Preamble: Pumpkin $pice

And as always, please like, share, and tell me what you think!
Product tips are also always welcome, so please feel free to DM me on any site with recommendations!

Season 2, Episode 26: Unisex Pumpkin Spice

Season 2, Episodes 25-27: A Whole LOTTA Pumpkin So at this time last year, I was struggling to make it through the end of the challenge because I was so burnt out from all of the pumpkin spice I had been sampling. 28 days in, my taste buds were shot and I just wanted to quit. And this year is no different - my taste buds are GONE and I just want to eat some non-pumpkin spiced snack foods! But then something happened that reminded me WHY I do what I do. A friend of mine, Michael (Hi Mike!) told me that he was at a store and was trying to decide whether or not to buy a specific pumpkin spice product. Naturally, he checked my blog for reference, but could not find a review for that specific item. So he bought it uninformed...and it was terrible . NEVER. AGAIN. So I am going to channel this guilt I feel in to today’s 3 part review. So the past 3 days have been really rough with studying, but I decided to take a break, watch some Sunday Night Football and catc

Season 2, Episode 23-24: Chipotl-most the end

Season 2, Episodes 23-24: Chipotl-most the end I have a confession to make: I’m not the biggest fan of fast-casual Mexican food. Between Chipotle, Qdoba, and Moe’s, I can’t eat a meal without feeling a little crummy and/or bloated afterwards. And while they are at least good-tasting, I don’t possess enough self-hate to eat them on a regular basis and have to deal with the repercussions. How infrequent are we talking? The last time I had Chipotle was in February 2016 when it was literally the only place open within walking distance of a hotel that I was staying at. Desperate times cause for desperate measures. But who am I to talk! How can I possibly be so high and mighty about not eating Chipotle when I stuff myself full of pumpkin spice for 1-2 months every year? Certainly it must take MORE self-hate to eat that much pumpkin spice, right? Deciding to just lean into it, I’m going to combine both for today’s review. Please say a prayer for my stomach.
