Here at the IGGPPC HQ, we’re already gearing up for one of our main events: Hallowiggles! That doesn’t mean that we forgot about sharing our loves for this month with you! What has the IGGPPC staff been geeking out about in September? Check out the staff picks below to find out!

Mafalda

Q: What are you excited about this month?

Fall is coming!

Q: What do you love about Fall?

I love it because of the sunny cold days, comfy clothes and food, the colors and PSL season! Also… Christmas is around the corner!

Q: Our theme this month is memes! What’s a meme that really resonates with you?

staff picks

That goes for Christmas too!

 

Joanna

Q: What have you been loving this month?

Homemade pumpkin spice drinks!

Q: What have you been making?

I use oatmilk and whole spices simmered on the stove top to make my own cozy hot drinks, what’s not to love? (Once you’ve got the right spices in the oatmilk, you can add it to coffee or tea or anything really!) For 1 cup/250ml oatmilk, I use two cinnamon sticks, 2 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon (5ml) ginger and half that for nutmeg, plus a drop of vanilla extract and a spoon of sugar (to taste). I also use a hand frother once the milk has come to a good simmer to get foam, then pour it all through a strainer onto my drink of choice! (You’re welcome!)

Q: What’s a meme you love?

….I mean, there’s a reason I use pun!dog for my reaction emoji in the discord, okay? 😉

 

Steena

Q: What are you loving this month?

Autumn perfumes from Long Winter Farm.

Q: Tell us more!

I get the itch for autumn in September, despite the fact that it won’t feel like autumn where I live until late October. Perfumes and candles help me feel the season even when the weather disagrees. Long Winter Farm is a little shop in Maine that makes soaps and perfume oils. Their pumpkin moon scent is the essence of autumn!

Q: What’s your favorite meme?

I send my partner pictures of beautiful, mythical landscapes, reminiscent of Middle Earth, and then send him the Nope, Chuck Testa meme to let him know that it’s actually Scotland and we should move there.

Jen

Q: What are you loving this month?

Pumpkins!

Q: What are you loving about them?

Fall is approaching fast where I live and I’ve embraced it with open arms. Give me all the pumpkins – lattes, muffins, decorations, pictures! This time of year is my favourite.

Q: What are you loving this month?

FALLLLLL!!!!!!!!11111

Q: What do you love about it?

Fall has always been my favorite season. It’s the perfect blend of warm sunny days, chilly evenings, and those glorious grey days where the streets are covered with damp leaves. I am so ready for cozy weather! Since I moved my office upstairs facing one of the windows, I can watch the fields and trees change color as the season progresses.

Kara

Q: What have you been enjoying this month?

Ear Biscuits – a podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time.

Q: What do you love about it?

I watch Rhett and Link’s Good Mythical Morning channel on YouTube and I enjoy hearing them telling stories and talking about life. It’s nice chatter to have on when I’m doing work or commuting!

Q: Is there a meme you love?

I love a good music meme lulz

Summer

Q: What are you into right now?

Among Us!

Q: Tell us about it!

Among Us is a silly space murder mystery game that came out a few years ago but has recently hit the big time. Think the old card game Mafia meets Battlestar Galactica meets campy graphics. It’s a perfect stay-at-home game to play with your friends.

Amanda

Q: What have you been into this month?

Wood burning!

Q: What do you love about it?

The possibilities are endless. You can do anything from freehand designs to stencils, creating a permanent design in any wood piece you want. It’s fun, and beginner friendly for even the non-artistic. You can also pick up decent kits for fairly cheap, so that’s a nice advantage to picking it up as a new hobby.
