Fall is officially here. We've felt the crispness in the air, seen a few trees begin to shed leaves and change color. And we know, deep in our heart on these "Indian Summer Days" that cooler weather is right around the corner.

Pumpkin Soap (Best Seller)

Pumpkin isn't just for September and October, we have November, December, January. All are wonderful times bring memories and feelings of warmth, happiness, and love to our beings.

One of these memories is the smooth, delectable flavor of a pumpkin pie or a slice of pumpkin bread. These are enriched with the wonder that is the vitamin infused goodness of real pumpkin.

In your bath you can luxuriate with the sensual smoothness that is the Pumpkin bar soap created from pumpkin puree and pumpkin seed oil. Created to nourish and pamper your skin. 

I bathed with the soap and it feels so good. Looking at it one would think "old fashioned lye soap" that is harsh as this soap is not "prettied up" and is just simple and plain. But it absolutely is NOT harsh. It lathers beautifully and my skin feels soft and clean. I'm quite impressed!

What would Christmas "eats" be without a chocolate dessert?

A year or so ago I discovered using canned pumpkin in cake mixes. I read through quite a number of recipes online and had the opportunity to enjoy some prepared by other cooks who graciously shared their bounty.

I found recipes that used a box of cake mix and a can of pumpkin. Stir together and bake. Pretty good, but I thought to myself, "I think it is missing something." So I ventured into the kitchen armed with a can of pumpkin, a chocolate cake mix, eggs, spice, butter and sugar. Now cake mixes have their own fat ingredient but some have you add some oil. But folks are saying the pumpkin takes the place of the oil.

In my seeking for the right recipe, I came across one that called for some Hellman's Real Mayonnaise. I recalled many, many years ago that there was a time when folks made cake using mayonnaise instead of eggs and oil. Kind of a frugal cake because mayonnaise was pretty cheap then.

But I digress..... I decided I wanted to make this nifty cake rich in the vitamins and fiber of pumpkin and deliciously chocolate. So.... Here we have it.

Vera's Chocolate Spice Pumpkin Cake

1/2 cup Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
1 can Libby's pumpkin (not the pie filling, the unadulterated pumpkin)
4 eggs
1 box Betty Crocker (or other quality brand) chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice (McCormick's)
small amount of melted butter
scant 1/4 cup white granulated sugar plus a couple of tablespoons for the pan

Combine mayonnaise, eggs, butter, then add pumpkin. When thoroughly blended, dump cake mix on top of mixture and then spice on top of the dry mix. Slowly blend with your mixer until thoroughly blended. Add about 1/4 cup white granulated sugar to this mixture and blend in.

Melt about 1 T. butter in the microwave. Spread it in the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons white granulated sugar in the pan and shake to spread evenly. Pour cake batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake 350 F. 30 minutes.

Chocolate Fudge Icing

1 stick butter melted in heavy saucepan
2/3 cup Hershey's Cocoa
3 cups 10X powdered sugar
orange juice
half and half
1 t. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

Melt butter in saucepan and then add cocoa. Use hand mixer to blend well. Add powdered sugar alternately with orange juice and half and half. Note: I "eyeball" the liquid. It doesn't take much. This icing is prepared in the saucepan atop low heat on the stove top. I like to use some orange juice in the chocolate icing as it gives a bit of zing that cuts the sweetness a bit. I also like half and half (or evaporated milk) because it renders a richer icing. I use the mixer throughout the process of preparing the icing which is warm and thick and pours and spreads nicely onto the cake. Finish off the cake with the chopped pecans.

It's Pumpkin Time at Good Earth Beauty with soap and fragrances [Review & Giveaway]

As Fall breaks on the seasonal scene, much-a-do about pumpkin emerges inundating coffee shops, grocery stores, and most anywhere one shops that caters to tastes of pumpkin-spice. It's in chips, drinks, candies, and of course, baked goods.

The good folks at GoodEarthBeauty.com have taken our love of pumpkin spice a step further and used these wonderful spices and essential oils to produce soaps, fragrances (the kind you wear yourself), shampoos, body washes, etc. and it is WONDERFUL!

But pumpkin spice isn't just for September and October, we have November, December, January. All are wonderful times to enjoy these fragrances that tweak the sensory heart bringing memories and feelings of warmth, happiness, and love to our beings.

Right now I have indulged in the Pumpkin Chai and the Frosted Ginger scented oils on my wrists. I'm not even out of my p.j.s and I just had to have this to begin my day. Folks this is the "no fat" and "no calorie" way to indulge! Lovely!

I showered with the soap and it feels so good. Looking at it one would think "old fashioned lye soap" that is harsh as this soap is not "prettied up" and is just simple and plain. But it absolutely is NOT harsh. It lathers beautifully and my skin feels soft and clean. I'm quite impressed! I have been using a lavender soap from Provence of France (not a brand name) and love it for its fragrance and silky feel to my skin. This Pumpkin soap from Good Earth Beauty is certainly equal to my most favorite soap and perhaps surpasses it because of its pureness.

Now that I've showered-up, fixed my hair, applied my pretty-up-my-face makeup, and donned my going out 'n about clothes, I'm going to dab a bit of Pumpkin Chai on my wrists and enjoy the day.

This is so much fun and I'm inviting you to have a go at it, too. You can order these products on GoodEarthBeauty.com and you can also enter the giveaway hosted here on Chat With Vera and provided by the good folks at GoodEarthBeauty.com.
