Hey, everyone! Today I’m going to show you how to make the most incredible mayonnaise at home. If you haven’t yet made your own mayo, you’re missing out. It’s actually quite easy to do, and the store-bought stuff just doesn’t compare. I used to make mayo at home using a food processor or an immersion blender, but I was never able to make it with olive oil since it tasted too bitter.

A very refreshed hellooooooo to you today, my friends! I’m coming at you live having just taken one full MONTH off of social media [insert alleluia angel praise chorus here]. Curious how it felt? ^^Here ya go.You may be wondering, “Kate, why did you feel the NEED to take a social media detox? Especially as a small business owner?!” Well, my friend.

I am a consumer of horror films at all times of year, but there is something special about consuming horror leading up to Halloween, and I’m sure some of you feel the same way! So I wanted to recommend some of my favourite horror films with female leads for all my fellow horror girls out there who are looking for some films to watch this season.  Before we get started into the horror films in the main list I want to quickly go through a rapid fire of some honourable mentions.

As you remember from my last two bits about horror fonts, Benguait and ITC Serif Gothic (Heavy) are the queen and king of horror movie key art. Serif Gothic’s arrival into the horror world came with its use as the primary font used for John Carpenter’s Halloween. This October I decided to rewatch all the Halloween films and I realized something interesting (if you’re a font nerd). Here is the key art for Halloween, where you can see the font in action.

Long ago in the before times, when screenwriting was still a pipe dream, I worked in graphic design. I remain a font nerd. Here is a pro tip— from somebody who is a font nerd AND a horror nerd… if you’re making a horror movie title for your script or lookbook, use these fonts! First ITC Serif Gothic, black or extra bold. Probably the one used most for mid-budget and indie horror films.
