Hey I’m Kate!

I’m an Auckland, New Zealand based thirty-something film reviewer, writer & blogger and this it onetakekate.com

onetakekate.com touches: on ‘now showing’ film reviews, cinema trends, cinema and film production news and the latest released books to read or DVDs and Blu-Rays to watch. As well as keeping a film lover’s eye on trending make-up, health & beauty, sneakers and street fashion with a rock or hip-hop edge, restaurant & café reviews, recipes, product reviews, cool things to improve your home and garden, wanderlust-inducing travel destinations and activities, opinion pieces, a spotlight on worthy charities and advocacies and interviews with today’s innovative and aspirational characters.

Next up for Kate is planning and saving for buying her first home with her Husbandito Leon (together for 19 years, married for 4…), hitting the road and seeing a lot more of New Zealand to commit to Insta-memory, taking flight to experience some of the big wide world past Aotearoa’s shores, writing a novel or two plus more of all the stuff I’m currently loving…who knows what’s next when you’re having this much fun.
