author vlog // wrapping up clients, getting ready for a book signing & my latest obsession

[@chelseawritesbooks8763]

You can get Keracolor at target or ulta. It's a color depositing conditioner (not as harsh as pure dye) and it would help tone down the color at the ends. They have a lot of shades. I use it to help keep my red fresh between dyes.

AVP was my obsession as a teen one of the few female driven action horror movies when I was a teen also loved resident evil and alien! Still some of my all time fav movies

[@KaiInMotion]

Xenomorphs are fashion icons

[@alicewarner9331]

I live in North Florida and it will be hot until December. Inside can be freezing with the ac running at full blast. Pack ac cute fall sweatr 😂. This week we are supposed to get a hurricane so that might be the rain you are seeing mid week. Have fun!

[@raquelgabrielle]

My favorite is AVP and what started my love of aliens and predators franchises

[@storiesbydesirae]

I think your hair looks nice :) I'm excited to hear what action movie you'll try if you do explore the genre.

[@bdnzor]

Giant shame about the not being able to watch older movies, so very many good ones pre 90s.

[@Katesbookdate]

@@bdnzor if you have any good recs, I’d love to hear them!

[@Spider-Manders]

Alien is my mom's favorite series so it's always been a part of my life. I have a xenomorph plush somewhere... For the Predator series I think you would like "Prey" which is a bit more suspense thriller-y than action.

[@Katesbookdate]

Oh good to know, thank you!

[@angeljackson7485]

If you get into the Predator movies, Prey is really good!

[@isabellajuanitalyn]

Your vlogs are always so comforting!

[@marketingbyshelby]

loved this! I am also getting ready for a book signing next week 🫶 congrats on your book launch!!

[@marissap3218]

Yes, that's completely normal for Orlando this time of year. Sometimes it's a little cooler (mid-80s) but not to much cooler.

[@Katesbookdate]

Wow 🥵

[@sshelbyshoee]

Grew up in Florida and that's what the weather was like all the time. We had maybe a day where the temp was 50s-60s. So glad I left 😅

[@nash5262]

So excited for the book release!

[@briellewrites]

I was literally thinking how pretty your hair color looked, lol. It’s giving ✨fall✨, I think it’s working for u!!

[@Katesbookdate]

@@briellewrites ugh thank you 😩 I’ll just pretend it’s intentional

[@Stephanie.Hudson]

I like alien vs predator. My husband thinks I’m weird because I think the predators are cute. They purr. lol. I know weird.

[@Katesbookdate]

You know what, I can kind of see it 😂

[@writerscarlettlarsson]

Loooove the Alien movies!!

[@exstntl]

i am GEEKING out i LOVE the alien franchise!! its my second favorite after hannibal. so much violence in horror esp around the 80s is directed against women and i felt like alien leveled the playing field especially for its time. so good. romulus fell a little flat for me in that aspect but overall i thought it was worth the watch :) it has some really great timing/pacing aspects and references to previous movies that makes it feel well-rounded. a couple parts also made me feel icky lol so i get where you're coming from! also as someone in texas, unfortunately those temps are pretty normal this time of year for the south. stay hydrated dress in thin layers (or just summery clothes) if you can! hope your trip(s) is lots of fun can't wait to see the vlogs after :) safe travels! x

[@lisawrites6517]

My hair is in the same in between phase and I've been using colored glazes to get through it. It's semi permanent and makes your hair shiny. I get mine from target, kind of pricey but good if you're trying not to damage your hair

[@Katesbookdate]

@@lisawrites6517 ooo I might try that! Thank you!!

[@ThePerksOfBooks]

I LOVE alien vs predator, that's my personal favorite. I watched it so much as a kid lol

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay but those leggings are really cute 🥹

[@jaimesbookishera]

That is normal weather for Orlando at this time of year. Prepare for hot.

[@sshelbyshoee]

I am the weirdo that has Aliens and The Thing as my comfort movies. Used to put them on to relax and take a nap 😂😂 if Alien scares you The Thing (1982) will freak you out. Stands the test of time. There is also a prequel made in the 2000s that was pretty good

[@Katesbookdate]

The final destination movies used to be my "in the background to relax" movies so I do not at all find that weird lol

[@sshelbyshoee]

@@Katesbookdate I love those too! Glad to find my people lol

[@caesuracrossing5473]

Sadly it is normal here in florida for the weather to be evil. I keep telling my fiancé that there are no seasons here

[@anarchynerd838]

I don’t like horror movies that’s body mutilation films… I don’t know if that’s the right word but movies like, The Human Centipede, The Walrus, that one episode of criminal minds where the killer made humans into marionette dolls. Freaks me out!

[@Katesbookdate]

@@anarchynerd838 sammme I cannot do that subgenre

[@shanshangalan8074]

Me too

[@moniquea4209]

Xenophobia! I think that's the closest word I can think of for your fear :D

[@tj2375]

In my opinion Alien and Aliens are good, the rest are just a cash grab and don't have anything to say. Alien vs predator don't bother, unless you like to laugh at very bad movies. I think you are seriously missing out on excellent films with "ageism". There are exceptionally good films from all decades. And the 2010s and 2020s are probably the weakest decades for cinema of all time, despite the perfect visual effects, most films are repetitive, formulaic and cliched.

[@thegeekylibrarian360]

I hope this book lauch does well for you! I can't help with much, but I at least followed you on Instagram and liked a lot of your posts xD

[@Katesbookdate]

@@thegeekylibrarian360 I appreciate it!!😂🫶🏻
