We introverts often find ourselves labeled as shy, rude, or even snobbish – when really, we're just trying to navigate this extroverted world in our own quiet way. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">Get ready to discover that us introverts aren't just antisocial hermits – we're complex, thoughtful individuals with a lot to offer the world. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">It's time to dive into the truths, unravel the mysteries, and celebrate the quirks of introverted life. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">Without further ado, here are 10 honest confessions about me as an introvert.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVR5YHDq5C2FHG5xfaxX1FUR2X-dXwwYcV14fwDcKj5js56ebjVvWVpZRqhhy0Em7VmPass-u_N1dQG1Igst54ZRvxX2CpTOaD-dOjR_YevKrwJrwB8D4iW41KQL26XQ-5Ofi2oOcN0h8ZHtrom0hhcyNcdvkQCMUh_pp0znZ6TxaCcoeeIMd5Luok66N/s1080/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVR5YHDq5C2FHG5xfaxX1FUR2X-dXwwYcV14fwDcKj5js56ebjVvWVpZRqhhy0Em7VmPass-u_N1dQG1Igst54ZRvxX2CpTOaD-dOjR_YevKrwJrwB8D4iW41KQL26XQ-5Ofi2oOcN0h8ZHtrom0hhcyNcdvkQCMUh_pp0znZ6TxaCcoeeIMd5Luok66N/s320/1.png" width="320"></a><span></span></span></div><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/03/confessions-of-proud-introvert.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-44318982188471659162024-03-14T15:11:00.003-05:002024-03-14T16:59:38.129-05:00Why I Have a Blog ( And You Should Too)?<p></p><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Fd1xERGTG1FhtpaWu_2o6n9Ohoxrtlt59wLrHBco3aafpp6POlNRX1GSYhVMnYF2R83mjsZIyIFTKsvOlIkd4wX7CH9Bhq6yliPe6BGNhmjxbHLT98DbsF_tmT3UueomS2ZulKFGsUpKiETPvNY7sgQpRwQGy7bKvfLjf6mrbFzowDodezyHrgrIP91v/s1500/Simple%20Blog%20Title%20Entrepreneurship%20Pinterest%20Pin.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Fd1xERGTG1FhtpaWu_2o6n9Ohoxrtlt59wLrHBco3aafpp6POlNRX1GSYhVMnYF2R83mjsZIyIFTKsvOlIkd4wX7CH9Bhq6yliPe6BGNhmjxbHLT98DbsF_tmT3UueomS2ZulKFGsUpKiETPvNY7sgQpRwQGy7bKvfLjf6mrbFzowDodezyHrgrIP91v/s320/Simple%20Blog%20Title%20Entrepreneurship%20Pinterest%20Pin.png" width="213"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Writing has always been a passion of mine, and over the years, I've found that it's not just a hobby but a form of self-expression that holds immense value. I remember the first time I started my blog, pouring my thoughts and experiences onto the digital pages, unsure if anyone would ever read them. But regardless of the number of readers, I quickly realized the importance of writing and the impact it can have on our lives. It's a way to connect with ourselves and others, a therapeutic outlet for our thoughts, and a vehicle for personal growth and self-discovery. And it's truly why I continue to pour my heart and soul into this little corner of the internet.</div><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Value of Writing</h4><div style="text-align: left;">Growing up, I was always lost in my own little world, filled with characters and stories that felt so real to me. Writing became my outlet to bring these thoughts to life and embark on a journey of self-discovery through words. Starting my blog was a big step for me. It was a way to share my thoughts and experiences with others, even if no one was reading. The act of writing itself was so fulfilling, allowing me to express myself authentically and freely.<span></span></div><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/03/why-i-have-blog-and-you-should-too.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-10731632243704711372024-03-12T11:56:00.001-05:002024-03-14T15:54:16.400-05:00Ready, Set, Run!

But here I am today, absolutely over the moon to tell you that my once damaged and short hair has transformed into a beautiful mane that reached waist length at its longest.

Are you ready to take control of your personal finances and keep your wallet grinning from ear to ear? Well, you're in luck. Today, I'll be sharing my top ten tricks for saving money like a real professional. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">We'll delve into the world of savings, discussing why it's so vital and exploring various strategies to make it happen. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">We all understand the importance of saving cash. It could be for an emergency fund, a dream purchase, or to reach our financial goals. Let's get started! </span></span></p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">1. Set Clear Financial Goals <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0puQ8URX3FBpT8myuZS7iTljYsmPrbRLm1OW9WOyrFJ3Lsui6fHHCv-RMSq6BHgY0f92lUu9HNeyHTlgmyp2A147nKgmM9gORcv1cA24YgUfwfP0Aes3THhJt9i-IqANhQAllvlsSnAkYA4KXwPhf7aWFsCyfb5O-IkW7KtamD3bQyJmI4eH69r4fgPL/s1500/10%20Effective%20Ways%20to%20Save%20Money.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0puQ8URX3FBpT8myuZS7iTljYsmPrbRLm1OW9WOyrFJ3Lsui6fHHCv-RMSq6BHgY0f92lUu9HNeyHTlgmyp2A147nKgmM9gORcv1cA24YgUfwfP0Aes3THhJt9i-IqANhQAllvlsSnAkYA4KXwPhf7aWFsCyfb5O-IkW7KtamD3bQyJmI4eH69r4fgPL/s320/10%20Effective%20Ways%20to%20Save%20Money.png" width="213"></a></div><br></span></span></h4><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">It's like going on a journey. You wouldn't hit the road without knowing your destination, would you? The same goes for your financial journey. Setting clear financial goals forms the foundation of good money-saving habits. They give you a clear path, a sense of direction, and a finish line to aspire to.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">So how do we set these goals? Well, it's crucial to keep them realistic and measurable. Don't aim to save a million bucks in a month if you're earning a fraction of that. Start small, and as your income grows, scale your goals upwards. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">Remember to put a timeline on your goals. It could be short-term, like saving for a vacation, or long-term, like saving for retirement. Having a timeframe in place helps maintain focus and motivation. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">Finally, your goals must align with your values. If you're passionate about travel, saving for a globetrotting adventure will feel less like a chore and more like an exciting endeavor</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151;">.<span></span></span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/02/saving-bucks-like-pro-top-ten-tricks.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-31769354569066789702024-02-20T12:09:00.001-06:002024-03-05T17:06:20.299-06:00 Master the Art of Saving: Tips for a Successful No Buy/No Spend Journey!<p></p><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZmikV5f-JjRlJuy4Ua7SIzbWXMg0RkQ3LsZfL1sY89o1kky95AVAhbHGFaXJcLpbWz-Z1QhtOJktjKIe8PFcHiM1AeL8pGDBeIqG4k0APi_oZZZQRXT3I2t4gqcvT16qAd0fxOD8dacVi46ZEmrudHBLfDzDCpefoDVfPrR0XS70POxgqAFEJ4FQUyJm/s1920/Soft%20Brown%20Modern%20Traveling%20Tips%20Pinterest%20Pin.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZmikV5f-JjRlJuy4Ua7SIzbWXMg0RkQ3LsZfL1sY89o1kky95AVAhbHGFaXJcLpbWz-Z1QhtOJktjKIe8PFcHiM1AeL8pGDBeIqG4k0APi_oZZZQRXT3I2t4gqcvT16qAd0fxOD8dacVi46ZEmrudHBLfDzDCpefoDVfPrR0XS70POxgqAFEJ4FQUyJm/s320/Soft%20Brown%20Modern%20Traveling%20Tips%20Pinterest%20Pin.png" width="180"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Are you ready to master the art of saving? If you're tired of constantly spending money and want to take control of your finances, then you've come to the right place. In this blog post, we'll be diving into the world of the <a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/02/no-spend-lent-how-im-daring-to-ditch.html">No Buy/No Spend Journey</a>. But what exactly does that mean? Well, it's all about challenging yourself to refrain from making unnecessary purchases and focusing on saving instead. And let me tell you, the benefits of embarking on this journey are truly remarkable. From having more money in your bank account to reducing clutter in your life, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve.</div><div style="text-align: left;">So, grab a cup of coffee and let's get started on this exciting journey of financial freedom!</div><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Assess Your Spending Habits</h4><p style="text-align: left;">To embark on this journey, first, we need to confront the enemy: our spending habits. Begin by tracking your expenses. This simple practice will provide a clear picture of where your money goes each month. Once you start, you might be shocked to discover how those seemingly small purchases can pile up.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Next, identify your problem areas. These are the sneaky purchases that creep into your spending without you realizing, such as regular takeout or those weekend online shopping sprees. Recognizing these areas is the first step towards taking control of them.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Having identified your problem areas and tracked your expenses, the next step is setting your savings goals. The key here is to be realistic. Trying to save half of your salary in a month may sound great but it might not be feasible. Your goals must be achievable; otherwise, they may discourage you.</div><span></span><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/02/master-art-of-saving-tips-for.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-32409014448913916992024-02-14T08:35:00.003-06:002024-02-14T08:37:00.949-06:00No Spend Lent: How I'm Daring to Ditch the Dollar for 40 Days<div style="text-align: justify;">It's Ash Wednesday today! A happy Ash Wednesday to you! Now, I'm not sure if people usually greet each other like this on Ash Wednesday, but it's a significant day because it marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Although I'm not a Catholic, I attended a Catholic school for four years. During this time, I was introduced to the practice of observing Lent, and I've adopted the practice into my life.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwPXmMxIIdBNV7mn0j9i7JT_klrvDlOwMwgKBxMkFR4px4gUA8dQ8B8JfiGPkzGL1CeeSThuLYDOC65SW9K_isJzN77RzdRTaXusjjatrwlPAMoWSWCBIqckrh_7sciMEev6DQY0i35muxiqwN8a05zXXgTTsrOspbI9oTuo-jNG0hXN8X43KgSPZoFLVl/s4496/ch-p-I65Wwwt8-jQ-unsplash.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4496" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwPXmMxIIdBNV7mn0j9i7JT_klrvDlOwMwgKBxMkFR4px4gUA8dQ8B8JfiGPkzGL1CeeSThuLYDOC65SW9K_isJzN77RzdRTaXusjjatrwlPAMoWSWCBIqckrh_7sciMEev6DQY0i35muxiqwN8a05zXXgTTsrOspbI9oTuo-jNG0hXN8X43KgSPZoFLVl/s320/ch-p-I65Wwwt8-jQ-unsplash.jpg" width="320"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">For those who may not know, Lent is a significant Catholic religious observance that occurs every year. It's a time to remember the 40 days that Jesus Christ spent fasting in the desert, facing temptation from Satan, all before he began his public ministry, as narrated in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Lent isn't just about remembering these biblical events. It's also a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It starts on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. The purpose of this season is to prepare for the celebration of the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. So, during Lent, we strive to connect with the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture, serve others through giving alms, and practice self-control through fasting.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div><div>Most people observing Lent choose to either give something up or take on something new during these 40 days. The idea is that this sacrifice will bring you closer to God. This is the part of Lenten practice that I personally resonate with. I don't usually abstain from eating meat on Fridays, but perhaps I might give it a shot this year.<span></span></div></div><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/02/no-spend-lent-how-im-daring-to-ditch.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-11802922213633958682024-02-13T14:14:00.000-06:002024-02-13T14:14:09.961-06:00From Frustration to Freedom: Why I'm Finally Giving Up on Growing on Instagram<p>From now on, I'm stepping away from the crazy rat race of trying to grow my following on Instagram. It's become such an unnecessary source of stress, and, honestly, I’ve had enough. You might have noticed that my blog posts have been dwindling. That's because I've been spending an inordinate amount of time figuring out what to post on Instagram. What will attract more followers? What do they want to see from me? And the truth is, I don’t really know. But I've reached a point where I don't care anymore. <br></p><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivmJdCVl-zH9jbHc_7hX2NzFOGhriI_7ivuAQbDL-w6Wi1P-pDpaF9di73zqgdOA7UmtH2qer5JdY__KxAk-KmcisM0s5bwAEUgEVd78mmFBCHpf3GQ7Zp61Cm8MsYWHyv3oXXtQ2aahv8U25-qfJZ6XusWkb2R2ItU0MUPhwukI8Ovtl49c5Q0I5AWXvZ/s3100/solen-feyissa-KWZa42a1kds-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2067" data-original-width="3100" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivmJdCVl-zH9jbHc_7hX2NzFOGhriI_7ivuAQbDL-w6Wi1P-pDpaF9di73zqgdOA7UmtH2qer5JdY__KxAk-KmcisM0s5bwAEUgEVd78mmFBCHpf3GQ7Zp61Cm8MsYWHyv3oXXtQ2aahv8U25-qfJZ6XusWkb2R2ItU0MUPhwukI8Ovtl49c5Q0I5AWXvZ/s320/solen-feyissa-KWZa42a1kds-unsplash.jpg" width="320"></a></div><p></p><p>When I first launched Kerin's Korner in 2017, my goal was never to amass a huge following, especially not on Instagram. I wasn't even an Instagram user back then. I simply switched my personal account to a business one to promote my blog content. However, as my followers began to grow, so did the pressure to create Instagram-exclusive content. I remember hitting the 500 followers mark and feeling so thrilled. They were genuine followers, real people who truly cared about what I had to say. </p><p>Now, my follower count hovers around 1800, but it dips a little more each day. I question the authenticity of most of them. I reckon about 500 of them are genuinely interested in my content. I toyed with the idea of starting anew with a fresh Instagram account to better engage and grow my audience. I even did some research on how to go about it. But, after much contemplation, I realized that's not the real problem. The issue lies in my reluctance to create content purely for Instagram growth. <span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/02/from-frustration-to-freedom-why-im.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-76419141881366792872024-01-23T13:06:00.004-06:002024-01-23T13:06:54.484-06:00My Hair Care Secrets: Unveiling My Long Type 4 Hair Wash Routine<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #374151; font-family: Inter, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px;"></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdvsE3QXZQlgmhRz8QAvwcFRu23_KfFpwzFsaKiTnwoAnaI4UNk7qRGKfEr8EeTbi-b32CLTUe5HyA85AFjDbVBLWByMWJdzMENKJALslC9PRgdtRA_UPAN8PgXC0Ts7m7AcR6Z7AjgW1fhZvRThfoGMBF52vsRIpEFKJKh4zshbxXrmTxphmkwzoSyO2/s2944/20201013_113201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2944" data-original-width="2208" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdvsE3QXZQlgmhRz8QAvwcFRu23_KfFpwzFsaKiTnwoAnaI4UNk7qRGKfEr8EeTbi-b32CLTUe5HyA85AFjDbVBLWByMWJdzMENKJALslC9PRgdtRA_UPAN8PgXC0Ts7m7AcR6Z7AjgW1fhZvRThfoGMBF52vsRIpEFKJKh4zshbxXrmTxphmkwzoSyO2/w240-h320/20201013_113201.jpg" width="240"></a></div>Hello there, my wonderful readers!

We all know it well. It's the echo bouncing off the gym walls, the mantra written in bold across our diaries, the promise we make to ourselves as the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. And yet, amidst the sea of resolve and ambition, there's a slice of reality we can't ignore: pizza is life.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Okay, maybe that's a bit exaggerated. But the point remains, we love our pizza or cake or $5 Biggie Bag (if you know, you know😉). And why should we have to give it up in the name of fitness? The good news is, we don't have to. This blog post is devoted to showing you how you can maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle without bidding adieu to your beloved pizza. So, grab a slice (or two), sit back, and get ready to embark on your wellness journey without letting go of your favorite indulgence.<span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/01/new-year-new-you-how-to-stay-fit-and.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-75461466600711112062024-01-12T09:00:00.005-06:002024-02-14T12:03:20.104-06:00I've Slipped Up with My Nutrition Habits, but Here's My Game Plan to Get Back on Track<p style="text-align: left;">It's time for some real talk. Lately, I've been slipping up with my nutrition habits. Life has been hectic, and I've found myself reaching for convenient, unhealthy options more often than I'd like to admit. But hey, we're all human, right? The important thing is recognizing when we've veered off course and having a game plan to get back on track. That's exactly what I want to share with you today - my personal journey of slipping up on nutrition habits and my game plan for getting back on track. So, grab a cup of tea and let's dive in because we're in this together.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Introduction</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyEhpIGBSQzdf29PjSydonzvXwU3vr0YvLAKtdfF27FLiRDDb7uAuPYoLGWMgo7dNNkcenCXbUdDCqEUGhSjZ2aKc6H0HN8I9LBW7tUgjVXCTcletgDI7g89yUXnawNH7zHWb-RNhxZIxidTonNCzqIjwCBQuhDRPpy9qBq8NPZ8DWJGMj667ozbFE1hj/s5179/brooke-lark-nTZOILVZuOg-unsplash.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3727" data-original-width="5179" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyEhpIGBSQzdf29PjSydonzvXwU3vr0YvLAKtdfF27FLiRDDb7uAuPYoLGWMgo7dNNkcenCXbUdDCqEUGhSjZ2aKc6H0HN8I9LBW7tUgjVXCTcletgDI7g89yUXnawNH7zHWb-RNhxZIxidTonNCzqIjwCBQuhDRPpy9qBq8NPZ8DWJGMj667ozbFE1hj/s320/brooke-lark-nTZOILVZuOg-unsplash.jpg" width="320"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div></h4><p style="text-align: left;">Allow me to elaborate on our topic of discussion. It's easy to fall into the trap of unhealthy eating habits, especially when life gets busy. Suddenly, before you know it, you're off the health wagon and into the fast-food drive-thru. It's something I've personally experienced recently. Having a game plan to get back on track is crucial. It's like a roadmap that guides you back to your health goals when you've taken a detour. With this in mind, my goal today is to shed some light on my journey and share my strategy for getting back to healthier habits. So, why is this necessary? It's simple. Our dietary habits significantly influence our health, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Regularly consuming unhealthy food can lead to issues like weight gain, fatigue, and even more severe health problems.<span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/01/ive-slipped-up-with-my-nutrition-habits.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-34722561766549920212024-01-11T09:00:00.005-06:002024-02-14T12:09:55.029-06:005 Misconceptions of Starting Your Fitness Journey: Let's Get Real, People!<p style="text-align: left;">Hey there, fitness enthusiasts and soon-to-be fitness fanatics! Are you ready to embark on a journey that will transform your body and mind? Well, before you lace up those sneakers and start pumping iron like a maniac, let's take a moment to debunk some common fitness myths that might be holding you back. Trust me, separating fact from fiction will save you from a world of pain and confusion. So, grab a protein shake, sit back, and get ready to be enlightened!</p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxSop6mIrkF8fE-OFsV4DGyI7eJ6JXS5-QAqHhmM3keLs94X3knhNBfz_d5xFkLU0iUmaAtXo6no3JwGls4IkYgyxnRFbUXitBY7hF6d0l1NOIsDQhM8Q-zsXpeAL-BB69JbDCTz_q3pjRaiVU0HhTtvHh3vpMWSrlzfNT0am2qdWsPKHFtIC0DonK-Zx/s1080/1.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxSop6mIrkF8fE-OFsV4DGyI7eJ6JXS5-QAqHhmM3keLs94X3knhNBfz_d5xFkLU0iUmaAtXo6no3JwGls4IkYgyxnRFbUXitBY7hF6d0l1NOIsDQhM8Q-zsXpeAL-BB69JbDCTz_q3pjRaiVU0HhTtvHh3vpMWSrlzfNT0am2qdWsPKHFtIC0DonK-Zx/w200-h200/1.png" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">We all know that starting a fitness journey can be as overwhelming as trying to pick the perfect avocado in the supermarket. There's just so much information out there, and it's hard to know what's true and what's just a load of sweaty hogwash. But fear not, my friends, because today we're going to set the record straight and expose those pesky misconceptions that have been sabotaging your fitness dreams.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Now, I could give you a long, boring lecture filled with scientific jargon and fancy fitness terms, but where's the fun in that? Instead, let's approach this with a sense of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm, shall we? After all, laughter is the best ab workout, right? So, tighten those abs and let's dive into the hilarious world of fitness myths!<br></p><p style="text-align: left;">But before we jump into the myths, let me remind you of one crucial thing: fitness is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Everyone's body is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. So, listen to your body, be kind to yourself, and let's bust these myths together.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Ready?

I did it! I ran a 5K and crushed my goal right out of the ballpark. I'm not going to lie, there were days filled with self-doubt where I questioned my ability to cross that finish line. But, guess what? I did it! And if I can do it, believe me, you can too. So buckle up as I take you on my journey from being a non-runner to a triumphant 5K finisher.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Introduction</h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><br><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8bdCQxYkTXBoezl5kL1qjADgudpV-oiyr76Nbww-EDo3G9gbKm2RAR7SiLefbc64Jh8Ngy0Emer2nCIVv-7G-NYUpH3IVmUh6lWZ_R72iLpifD1-JtSh69lQhBswYws4vj8ZsCqqQAy2kkSl0YSU1K-Kq42Cw-GkcWttHau4iPlIirBk2PiAHE7zpj1KI/s2582/20231231_121435.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Race T-shirt, bib and medal" border="0" data-original-height="2582" data-original-width="2582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8bdCQxYkTXBoezl5kL1qjADgudpV-oiyr76Nbww-EDo3G9gbKm2RAR7SiLefbc64Jh8Ngy0Emer2nCIVv-7G-NYUpH3IVmUh6lWZ_R72iLpifD1-JtSh69lQhBswYws4vj8ZsCqqQAy2kkSl0YSU1K-Kq42Cw-GkcWttHau4iPlIirBk2PiAHE7zpj1KI/w320-h320/20231231_121435.jpg" width="320"></a></div></h4><div style="text-align: left;">Everyone has a dream. For me, it was tackling a 5K run. But why? Well, it was simple. The milestones I'd set for my fitness journey were incremental, and a 5K felt like the right next step. It wasn't just about losing weight or looking fit. Running a 5K was a tangible goal I could work towards, something I could measure in time, distance, and endurance. It was about making a promise to myself and going the extra mile to keep it.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">For some background, I should say I ran in high school, but I was a sprinter and I hadn't done any sort of running since then. My physical activity was limited to mostly walks and I had started weight training a few months prior to beginning my 5K training. For all intents and purposes, I was a novice runner - certainly a novice distance runner. I had the desire to run a 5K for a while. I've walked a 5K every year on Thanksgiving for the past couple of years, but last year, I decided it was high time to buck up and charge towards my desire for better health and mental strength. This 5K wasn't just a race, it was a battle against myself and my limitations.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">To be honest, looking back, the journey was far from easy. There were days when I wanted to throw in the towel, days when my legs felt like lead, and days when I questioned my sanity for setting such a challenging goal. But I stuck to my guns. I dug my feet in, pushed through the pain, the doubts, and the exhaustion, and made it to the other side. And boy, was it worth it!<span></span></div><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/01/running-5k-how-i-crushed-my-goal-and.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-5659718773870082022024-01-02T09:00:00.005-06:002024-02-14T12:31:36.116-06:00Leveling Up: New Healthy Habits I'm Embracing This Year - Join Me!<p>Hello World!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm so excited to share with you some of the new healthy habits I'm incorporating into my life this year, and I invite you to join me on this journey of growth and self-improvement. In this post, I'll be covering a range of topics, from prioritizing self-care and incorporating physical activity, to mindful eating, cultivating a positive mindset, getting enough sleep, setting realistic goals, and more. So let's dive in and explore these new habits together, shall we?</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Leveling up—in essence, it means going a step above your current state. It's about seeking growth, embracing change, and striving to become a better version of oneself. This concept is not merely confined to video games or professional progression. It applies to our personal lives too, especially when it comes to our health and well-being. Healthy habits play a crucial role in our overall wellness. What we eat, how much we sleep, our physical activity levels, our mindset—each of these factors contributes to our health in significant ways. While we might not see immediate effects, consistent healthy habits help us level up our lives in the long run. Here are some healthy habits, I'll be incorporating this year.<span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/01/leveling-up-new-healthy-habits-im.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-22774575104426940452024-01-01T09:00:00.062-06:002024-02-14T12:32:31.636-06:00Becoming the Best Version of Myself: How 2023 Transformed Me into a Healthier and Wealthier Individual<p>Hello World!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Can you believe it's already 2024? As I sit here reflecting on the past year, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and accomplishment. You see, 2023 was the year that transformed me into a healthier and wealthier individual, and I couldn't be more proud of the progress I've made. The concept of "becoming the best version of oneself" is often tossed around, but it wasn't until 2023 that I truly understood its power. Today, I want to take you on a journey through my personal transformation and share with you how I became the best version of myself. From prioritizing physical health to nurturing mental well-being, and from achieving financial growth to reflecting on personal growth, this blog post will cover it all. So grab a cozy blanket, a warm cup of tea, and let's dive in!</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</h4><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_aZCXDM1Z0Zfp739_lBzVXHqc1WaVJ2PIotqMnSk2_ZoDqIhhAqBbhvsTg24i_4Xuj2Wuiu1zdZjAML33f4Bhe1tF0sjkRHHTPobQ7LvYW4IeoPXYw3m4_06oaAIJbnnkjRka0uuPIeH_QYCNYhwsQui8Hv6P5Ms2m5Sc48xeuPhlOxVV5rcVAip6Cdm/s3355/estudio-bloom-KvkvaFlZdSg-unsplash.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3355" data-original-width="2237" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_aZCXDM1Z0Zfp739_lBzVXHqc1WaVJ2PIotqMnSk2_ZoDqIhhAqBbhvsTg24i_4Xuj2Wuiu1zdZjAML33f4Bhe1tF0sjkRHHTPobQ7LvYW4IeoPXYw3m4_06oaAIJbnnkjRka0uuPIeH_QYCNYhwsQui8Hv6P5Ms2m5Sc48xeuPhlOxVV5rcVAip6Cdm/w213-h320/estudio-bloom-KvkvaFlZdSg-unsplash.jpg" width="213"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@estudiobloom?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Estúdio Bloom</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/pink-ceramic-mug-with-love-print-KvkvaFlZdSg?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Unsplash</a></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br>We've all heard the phrase "be the best version of yourself." It's something of a mantra in self-help circles, but it can often feel like a vague and nebulous concept. It wasn't until last year that I grasped the true meaning of this mantra and took it to heart. I decided to mold myself into the best I could be – physically, mentally, and financially.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My life before 2023 was comfortable, but it lacked direction and fulfillment. I was drifting along, living life on autopilot. I was physically unfit, mentally tired, and financially unstable. The dissatisfaction kept gnawing at me until one day, it dawned on me - I deserved better, and I was the only one who could make it happen. I decided to hit the reset button in 2023.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The year 2023 was a revelation! Through the course of the year, I made conscious, deliberate choices which had a significant impact on my life. From choosing to eat healthier, incorporating physical activities into my daily routine, prioritizing mental health – I realized that becoming the best version of oneself is an inside job.<span></span></p><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2024/01/becoming-best-version-of-myself-how.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-43629423602824323682021-02-09T13:00:00.013-06:002024-02-14T12:53:18.415-06:00Tuesdays with Kerin: Gardening, Basketball & The O.C.?<p> Hello World,</p><p>I'm back with another Tuesday with Kerin.

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. </p>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. <span></span><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/02/tuesdays-with-kerin-gardening.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-82492088081008259102021-02-08T13:00:00.004-06:002024-02-14T12:57:00.604-06:00How to get the Perfect Romantic Valentine's Makeup with Beauty Bakerie? <p> Hello World,</p><p>Happy Makeup Monday!</p><p>Today I have a makeup tutorial for you!

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!

Before I get into my review, let's quickly go over the two products I didn't get. First off, I didn't get That Big Screen Moisturizer. It claims to be a lightweight moisturizer with SPF 30, that visibly plumps and protects the skin. There are two moisturizers in the line, and I decided to get the other one, which I will talk about later. No knocks on this one, but I just decided not to get it. Maybe I will try it at some other point. The other product that I didn't get was That Fresh Take Eye Cream, which I'm mad about because I am positive when I went online to Sephora to buy my stuff, it was not there. I'm sure I would have bought it because I'm always looking for new eye creams, because my dark circles are real. If you want to see what eye creams I'm currently using, you can see my full skin care routine <a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/skincare-routine-for-dark-circles-dark.html">here</a>! Now, this eye cream claims to have patented peptides that reduce the look of dark circles and also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. Doesn't that sound great? I sounds exactly like something I would buy, so maybe I will in the future, but for now onto the stuff I did get. </p><span></span><span></span><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/how-to-achieve-that-jlo-glow-jlo-beauty.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-2613022393534306002021-01-19T13:00:00.008-06:002021-02-01T21:09:11.906-06:00Growing from Seeds: Beginner Herb Garden Tips<p> Hello World!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtofg7BFv4yak8OC7tlW_PbYDVMotW_g2FPszzC1UAj2B43JsnqhyphenhyphendN4U_SQuhYZizXC3Y58gXOwrkIt24bt77CU6zCAa4KxoS6mZdgwbjS4lE7LMg1BoF7lWRs3OxVWFnG2RGcbWHkIPV/s2048/black-balloon-on-yellow.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><img alt="Black balloon on yellow background" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtofg7BFv4yak8OC7tlW_PbYDVMotW_g2FPszzC1UAj2B43JsnqhyphenhyphendN4U_SQuhYZizXC3Y58gXOwrkIt24bt77CU6zCAa4KxoS6mZdgwbjS4lE7LMg1BoF7lWRs3OxVWFnG2RGcbWHkIPV/w167-h111/black-balloon-on-yellow.jpg" width="167"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table>I'm writing this on MLK Day, so Happy Belated MLK Day!

For reference, I have oily-combination skin, and my main skin concerns are dark spots or hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and dark circles under my eyes. I have different routines for day and night, and I will be sharing both. I will say I do always like to try new products, so this routine could change, but without further ado here is my current skincare routine that has been working for me lately. For more skincare, see my previous post about my <a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2017/04/kerins-top-ten-skincare-products.html">top ten skincare products</a>.

Overall, I really liked this outfit and I also liked all the individual pieces. I will be keeping them all. The Topshop hoodie is super soft and comfy, and I think it looks super chic, and will fit in perfectly with other pieces in my wardrobe. I will need to exchange the Madewell pants for a smaller size, because they are a little to big in the waist, but I like the high waist and wide pant legs. I think once I get my proper size, they will be ever more flattering. The Adidas sneakers are classic and comfortable. Everyone should have pair of plain white sneakers in their wardrobe, and now I do. </div><span></span><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/what-i-got-in-my-trunk.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-39837684385097302992021-01-12T13:00:00.130-06:002021-02-08T22:56:22.160-06:00Tuesdays with Kerin: Christamas 2020<p> Hello World!</p><p>Welcome to Kerin's Korner 2021. If you haven't already, please go check out my post for my<a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/kerins-korner-2021-intentions.html"> 2021 intentions for Kerin's Korner</a>. My overall goal is to be more intentional this year. I don't have high hopes for 2021 as a whole - I'm thinking 2022 will be the year, but for me personally I can be better in 2021. But 2021 just needs to be than 2020 - so just not bad.</p><p>So I'm back at work this week full time - working from home still, but I have actual work to do again. At the end of the year work slowed down, and I was on vacation all of Christmas week, but being back at work just makes me miss winter break at school. We would be out from like the 2nd week in December until after MLK Day. That's just a month of doing nothing. I mean I like not being in school, but full time adulting is hard. But I did have a good little vacation for Christmas, and had an enjoyable Christmas with my family. I recently got an indoor grill, and I used it to make jerk chicken. It turned out pretty good, but I'm not sure anyone else enjoyed it. I also made yams, which was apparently pretty good, but I don't eat yams, so yeah... </p><p>But what did I get for Christmas? Why, thank you for asking. I got not 1 but 2 super soft and cozy throw blankets, because I'm always cold. I have yellow one and a gray one. Fashion wise, I got two essential items for any classic wardrobe. I got a Winnie the Pooh Onsie and a Christmas Llama jumpsuit, which I wore on Christmas, looking baller. Anyways, I also got a trashcan for my car because apparently I'm a slob, some clay face masks, a waterless razor, a giant scrunchie which I basically live in now, some chocolates, a Physician's Formula glow face palette, the Revlon x WW84 eyeshadow palette, Amazon echo buds, the <a href="https://amzn.to/2Xr00x0" target="_blank">Mr. Robot Complete Series Blu-ray box set</a> and the<a href="https://amzn.to/2LyL8Ku" target="_blank"> Mr. Robot Red Wheelbarrow </a>companion novel, which if you are a fan of Mr. Robot, I would highly recommend. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJCHoHWjrcHm_OLfZ1zEv-upihwYW6Lqsi8HaGbV2IdATg27QLmUtsIM2LPqQjfo4OQgIVhuEzIWC9Llmh4-Eus57swCAHBcNrgzItBuazDmwRllX0qD5ibkBfOlpuzTkMeIjOJxqVagp/s4032/20210110_043949.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pile of items" border="0" data-original-height="2199" data-original-width="4032" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJCHoHWjrcHm_OLfZ1zEv-upihwYW6Lqsi8HaGbV2IdATg27QLmUtsIM2LPqQjfo4OQgIVhuEzIWC9Llmh4-Eus57swCAHBcNrgzItBuazDmwRllX0qD5ibkBfOlpuzTkMeIjOJxqVagp/w400-h219/20210110_043949.jpg" width="400"></a><span></span></div><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/tuesdays-with-kerin-christamas-2020.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-47279300886515985202021-01-11T10:00:00.183-06:002023-11-25T14:53:48.088-06:00Makeup Tutorial: 15 Minute Full Face<p> Hello World,</p><p>I'm back for another Makeup Monday post, and today I will be breaking down my everyday makeup look that l wear to work. It's simple, professional, and most importantly quick. When I'm getting ready for work, I'm not trying to take a long time, because I don't want to get get up any earlier than I have to. I like to be up and out the door in no more than 45 minutes, so I have mastered this routine that takes no more than 15 minutes ( I have done this makeup look in as quickly as 7 minutes). Without further ado, here is my 15 minute full face routine. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6s2gEyT-8YD-EdqX42QqNbL9x4Kona7ZaqQo1d6EByzfIiKXS28zwE2c6KaE7GZ4HTw-DiNwItpo_VChKP2BQWHayofhAyOPm6I014Y3DrOJu12HAqEYrMRL9CTE6cZ8ru7DQsTaEvo-/s3024/IMG_3738.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Makeup model" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6s2gEyT-8YD-EdqX42QqNbL9x4Kona7ZaqQo1d6EByzfIiKXS28zwE2c6KaE7GZ4HTw-DiNwItpo_VChKP2BQWHayofhAyOPm6I014Y3DrOJu12HAqEYrMRL9CTE6cZ8ru7DQsTaEvo-/w317-h320/IMG_3738.JPEG" width="317"></a></div><br><p></p><p><b><u>Step 1: Primer</u></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQGZtPLQ3Zi6mHZt5VgIaRQeBqRSoKEixml6XwLEkZJ0x_tOklAU9PnxqwrpCnsztPjBqBv0tgumwuv2PdtQpho1786oegnonIhRwXnRgJne147Xb6dxNe4gLJrJdDBdoBeIWSkDgtsNtC/s2276/20210110_032826.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Winky Lux Whipped Cream Primer, e.l.f.

Primer is important in helping you makeup last longer. I use it as the last step in my skincare routine ( I will go over current skincare routine in another post). For primer, right now I switch between the </span><a href="https://www.target.com/p/winky-lux-whipped-cream-face-primer-0-46oz/-/A-78589304?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000012735304&CPNG=PLA_Beauty%2BPersonal+Care%2BShopping_Local&adgroup=SC_Health%2BBeauty&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=c&location=9027580&targetid=aud-828979111631:pla-897661776657&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6Or_BRC_ARIsAPzuer81G5MFJ20SJYK6AgMY0yOrpwYRXr1LOgPa4kBOPFnt_8ifR6qajjUaAjVjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Winky Lux Whipped Cream Primer</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> and the<a href="https://www.elfcosmetics.com/poreless-putty-primer/85912.html" target="_blank"> e.l.f. Poreless Putty primer.</a> Both of these primers are really good for smoothing pores and giving your skin a smooth base. But you can use any primer that is most useful for your skin concerns. Like in the summer, I would use a mattifying primer, because my skin is more oily, and as we get deeper into the winter, I'll probably start using a more moisturizing primer, since my skin is usually a little drier in the winter. For application, just apply a quick thin layer. I like to focus my primer in my t-zone, but I apply all over my face. <span></span></span><a href="https://www.kerinskorner.com/2021/01/makeup-tutorial-15-minute-full-face.html#more"></a>Kerinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17811654928794258508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974229586881991093.post-34934312011096607412021-01-10T18:00:00.011-06:002023-11-25T15:02:50.864-06:00Kerin's Korner 2021 Intentions<p> Hello World!</p><p>It's a new year which means new goals, but instead of setting goals this year I'll be working on intentions, both personally and for Kerin's Korner.
