TikToker Rei opted for a dark, witchy look to match her home, incorporating a unique touch in the form of a bundle of dried lavender from her sister, via [Tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@folklvre/video/7130454945739984171?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7130454945739984171). She began by disassembling the sign and sanding the back piece to remove the text and reveal the wood texture, then added a new finish to the exterior frame. From there, it's all up to you and your personal taste. A fresh coat of paint, some E6000, and a few personal touches helped her transform a piece that would otherwise end up in the back of a closet into something that she will enjoy year-round. Turning your home into a harvest haven or a ghoulish graveyard is one of the best ways to embrace the autumnal spirit, but once the season ends, those festive items can feel like a waste of money and storage space. It's easy to get swept up in the appeal of fall décor.

Thomas Kolster, author of Goodvertising discusses how conversations around ESG in ad tech have evolved over the last ten years.

I think this is the first time in my living memory where we’ve seen big brands having to adjust to unrest going on outside of the industry. A lot of brands will run 30-second commercials to talk about what they’re doing to fix environmental and social issues, but essentially, they made a mess in the first place. They're the ones using a lot of energy to run their technology and store data, and consumers are becoming much more aware of this. I think today, greenwashing is very much the centre of discussions within ad tech and this means businesses have to be very smart about how they communicate with regards to ESG. A decade ago, we saw some early attempts from brands to connect with consumers, and this is becoming more and more prevalent. The classic view of advertising is that it is something that predominantly interrupts people, but in fact it can be a really useful tool to engage, inform, and empower.

For most people, a hot glue gun seems like the kind of thing you would need for a homemade decoration or craft project. But glue guns have come a long way ...

Removing hot glue if you spill it can be as simple as spritzing the glue with some isopropyl alcohol, or applying some alcohol to the edges of the glue with a swab. If you have an oddly shaped wooden object that is difficult to clamp, you can use hot glue to make the joint stronger. In addition to requiring a high temperature to work on glass, hot glue that’s meant for certain things will also need to set or cure for a period of time, so keep that in mind to avoid a disaster if you’re hanging a mirror. When it dries, hot glue tends to be a rubbery consistency, so you can use it to make a non-slip grip. The difference when using this type of hot glue is that you need to pay attention to the heat specifications and the manufacturer’s recommended curing time. When using hot glue in this application, just keep in mind that the surface you’re applying it to shouldn’t get warm enough to melt the glue—that could lead to a sticky mess.

Tony-award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig's newest play, “Lend Me a Soprano” left audiences in stitches Sunday afternoon at the Alley Theater.

The standout for me was her angrily berating a corpse punctuated by occasional pillow smacks (no I will not give context). For every performance, there is a certain degree to which you see the person onstage as an actor, but not so for Ellen Harvey. Speaking of passion, the entire cast did a bang-up job at bringing Ludwig’s usual lightning pace to life.

Disney's "Hocus Pocus 2" is set to drop on Disney+ on September 30. According to reports, Binx — the legendary black cat who helped stop Winifred "Winnie" Sanderson (Bette Midler), Sarah Sanderson (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy) in the 1993 original — won't be making a talking appearance in the Anne Fletcher-directed sequel (via [Entertainment Weekly](https://ew.com/movies/hocus-pocus-2-cat-cobweb-not-thackery-binkx/)). "It was very difficult to try to have them be a part of it because we did talk about it — painstakingly. Fletcher recently revealed [the real reason why the trio of stars isn't in the follow-up](https://www.looper.com/1024234/the-real-reason-three-of-hocus-pocus-main-stars-arent-in-the-sequel/), saying they simply couldn't find room for them. Asked about what sort of scenes we will see involving the Thackery Binx nod, "The Proposal" filmmaker said: "We're having some fun with him, so, we'll see." ["Hocus Pocus 2"](https://www.looper.com/351460/hocus-pocus-2-release-date-cast-plot/) may be reuniting the infamous Sanderson Sisters this Halloween season, but there's going to be a very important ingredient missing from the "Hocus Pocus" character cauldron.
