The Khoollect Squad Series: meet Kat Escreet

***Rachel Khoo would like to thank all the inspiring people who helped make the Khoollect studio a hive of creativity. Although the Khoollect studio’s doors have now closed, you can keep up with Rachel’s newest adventures on RachelKhoo.com and on Rachel’s Instagram and Facebook pages – and, continue to enjoy the Khoollect website’s stories and recipes, which will remain available.***

The Khoollect Squad Series is a chance for us to introduce our community to our most-loved digital stars — the bloggers, Snapchatters and Instagrammers  — who are setting the pace on and offline. This squad is online, on point and, now, on your radar too. We think you’ll love the worlds of #thekhoollectsquad as much as we do.

Hailing all the way from sunny Cape Town, South Africa say ‘howzit’ to blogger, coffee lover and world traveller, Kat Escreet. With a passion for all things creative and a must-follow editorial-style Instagram feed, meet the proud 20-something Capetonian with a blog to prove it. Kat, along with her filmmaker boyfriend Elan, shares her love for local adventure, design and fashion on their blog: See You Just Now. An ode to the typical South African-isms most South Africans don’t even understand, the talented duo is all about dreaming big and living authentic.

Always with a camera in hand, they’re taking their travels internationally, and we can’t wait to see where they’re off to next.

Where in the world do you live? I’m from a small town called Somerset West, just outside of Cape Town, South Africa.

What do you #khoollect? Photos! Instagram Saves is the best thing since sliced bread, I’ve saved so many inspirational images on my Instagram account. I also collect Polaroids from special occasions, I’m a bit of an old-fashioned romantic in that way.

What’s your favourite recipe? I try not to have favourites, since I think that would be limiting myself! However, I did make the meanest coconut, peanut butter, honey and cayenne pepper ice cream for Valentine’s Day.

What’s your favourite film? I have a deep love for animated movies and at the moment it is a tie between Kubo and the Two Strings vs. How to Train Your Dragon.

What’s your favourite book? I binge read like some people binge watch series! Something I could read over and over again is a series by amateur writer Merry Ravenell, called The Iron Chronicles. Find it on Wattpad App, my guilty pleasure.

What’s some of the best advice you’ve ever received? ‘Courage, dear heart’ – C.S. Lewis. It speaks to all the small parts of yourself (and in some case, bigger parts) that need to straighten up and realise they’re worth so much more.
