Watch or Nah?: The Little Things

 Hello World,

I'm back with another movie review! If you read my post on Tuesday, you might be a little surprised, but for whatever reason this morning I felt compelled to write this review, so I'm just going to lean into it before I change my mind. Besides, this movie was on one of my top 10 most anticipated movies of 2021, so I would be remise not to write a review. 

In the Little Things, Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon (Denzel Washington) partners with Sgt. Jim Baxter  (Rami Malek) to catch a serial killer in LA, and the investigation brings up things of Deke's past that are still haunting him, and things take an even worst turn with the arrival of Jared Leto's character, Albert Sparma, their main suspect.

Tuesdays with Kerin: Gardening, Basketball & The O.C.?

 Hello World,

I'm back with another Tuesday with Kerin. Did you miss me?

Spring with Dirt and Flowers

It's been a while since I've done one of these, and honestly I don't have that much to update you on.  Last we spoke, I had a thriving herb garden, and today I can report that everything is dead - well not everything. I replanted my cilantro, so it just recently sprouted, but everything is dead or dying. Even my sage, which was doing so well. I have no explanation for it. I continued doing all the same things, but they're just not surviving, but hey what are you gonna do? But I'm not giving up. It's almost Spring, which will a great time for reviving my garden. The last frost of Spring in Houston is February 17th, if you were wondering. That's also Ash Wednesday and my brothers' birthday. So I'll going to buy some more seeds and my raised garden this week or next week, and then I'll start these seeds outside, so I don't have worry about transitioning them, and since it won't be cold anymore, they should be fine. But I will keep you updated.

But let's see what else? I've been working, working, and um... yeah working. So all very exciting. But really I'm trying to think, but I don't think I've done much of anything in the last 2 weeks. I feel like I've just sitting in on the couch on my laptop (I work from the couch now) watching TV.  Getting dressed has become a event for me.

Not because they asked be to. I just used them because their products are banging!

What Black Owned Makeup Brands Should You Support Right Now?

 Hello World!

Happy Makeup Monday!

Today is February 1st, which means it's the first day of Black History Month! In honor of such, I thought it would be nice to take some time to reflect on how far makeup has come for black men and women, or even just brown skin people in general. We are blessed now to live in a time where many brands carry more extensive shade ranges and most brands are making an effort to be more inclusive. There was a time, even in my lifetime, where that wasn't the case. There's where Black Owned Makeup Brands come into play.  These are the brands that have always be there for little brown-skinned girls like me when others were not. And now, there are so many Black Owned Makeup Brands - we actually have options! And that is not only great for me, as an artist, but also it's inspiring for young black entrepreneurs. So if you're trying in get in the right, go ahead and support a Black Owned Makeup Brand! But if you're not sure where to start, I got you.
 

Here is a roundup of some of my favorite Black Owned Makeup Brands!

Watch or Nah?: One Night in Miami

Hello World,

So full disclaimer I was supposed to write this review last week, but I wanted to wait until I watched it for a second time before I wrote my review, and then I did watch it again, and still I was just putting off writing my review for no other reason than just pure laziness. But here I am finally writing my review of One Night in Miami!
