Growing from Seeds: Beginner Herb Garden Tips

 Hello World!

Black balloon on yellow background
I'm writing this on MLK Day, so Happy Belated MLK Day! I had to work on MLK Day, which is blasphemous, so I didn't do anything to celebrate. But work is back in full force now. When I said work was picking up last week, I was not kidding. I literally have so much work to do, after basically two weeks of doing nothing. Fortunately, I'm still working from home, which makes things a little easier.

So garden update - last week I was going on and on about how I excited I was for my garden,  and how great it has been. Well, this week things have taken a turn. My cilantro is not thriving as it once was, but it appears to recuperating now. Here are some tips and things I have learned in my herb garden journey:

Kerin's Top 10: NBA All Stars 2018

Hello World,

Happy NBA All Star Weekend! 

Today is the first day of All Star 2018! *cheers and applause* I don’t know about you, but I’m only moderately excited, but nonetheless here’s my list of the Top 10 All Stars, or Top 10 best players in the league today.  Also, I’m including players that were voted or selected to be All Stars, regardless of injury or if they’ll actually play in the game on Saturday.


10. Klay Thompson – Golden State Warriors

9.  Giannis Antetokounmpo – Milwaukee Bucks

8. DeMarcus Cousins – New Orleans Pelicans

7. John Wall – Washington Wizards

6. Anthony Davis – New Orleans Pelicans

5. Kyrie Irving – Boston Celtics


4. LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers

3. James Harden – Houston Rockets

2.  Stephen Curry – Golden State Warriors

1. Kevin Durant – Golden State Warriors


And that’s it. Be sure to look out for most of these guys on Sunday night! By the way I’m going for Team Stephen! It was a hard decision because Team LeBron got all the good players, but I’m not saying I’m anti - LeBron, but I’m definitely not pro- LeBron.

Benefit Cosmetics Affiliation

Hello World!

I am so proud to announce that Kerin's Korner is an official affiliate of Benefit Cosmetics!!!  It really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it means that Benefit saw enough potential in Kerin's Korner being able to make them some money, so they were willing to invest!

Benefit is a cosmetics company based in San Francisco. Their specialty is brow products! I love the
Goof proof brow pencil and Ready, Set, Brow! gel. Now they're having a promotion where you can get a FREE deluxe BROWVO! sample + hello gorgeous makeup bag on any $40 order. Code: HELLOBROWVO! But they also have a wide range of different products, from foundation, blush, and even skincare! The only real drawback is the shade range of their complexion products. I am the darkest shade, and that shouldn't be. So they need to fix that but their brow products are bomb! 



So if you're in the market to buy anything from Benefit be sure to use my links!

Enjoy free standard shipping on orders over $50 + samples when you shop at Benefit Cosmetics.

Au Revoir!

Kerin's Top Ten: How to be HUMBLE. (lesson from K-Dot)

Hello World!

So this week, I have been pretty obsessed with Kendrick's Lamar's new album DAMN., and I thought I'd share with you something I've learned from the proclaimed rap savior. I think it's really fitting that the first single released from the album was HUMBLE., because besides that song, the entire album is filled with verses of K-Dot explaining to us how one acts humble, which it such an appropriate lesson because people today are so self-absorbed and full of themselves, especially in the rap game. So it is refreshing to see a rapper who is a little more modest.  So anyway, here are my top ten lines from DAMN. of Kendrick teaching us how to be HUMBLE.



1. I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon,  I serve
Yeah, that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird
You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard 
- DNA. 



Here Kendrick gives a shout out to some other Compton natives, Venus and Serena Williams, who have won a modest 17 trophies at Wimbledon, and so to compare himself to them it's like saying 'I win, but not much'. He's being modest clearly, because he has 7 Grammys.  Then to further show his humility, he describes the modest car he drives - a simple corvette with a turbo engine (bird sound) and custom exhaust pipes (fireworks). 


2. I got 'em by a landslide, we talking' about races
You know this'll never be a tie, just look at their laces
- ELEMENT.



3. Mr. One through Five, that's the only logic
Fake my death, go to Cuba, that's the only option
-ELEMENT.



Many people would say Kung Fu Kenny is the greatest rapper today, some would say of all time, but here he says he's only the top five at best.

4. I feel like debating on who the greatest can stop it
I am legend, I feel like all of y'all is peasants
I feel like all of y'all it desperate
I feel like all it take is a second to feel like 
Mike Jordan whenever holding' a real mic
- FEEL.


5. My resume is real enough for two millenniums 
A better way to a make a wave, stop defendin' them
- LOYALTY.

Most rappers are bold enough to say their music will last forever, but not Kendrick. He's says between his last two albums, he only has a enough hits to two millenniums.


6. Piss out your per diem, you just gotta hate 'em, funk
If I quit your BM, I still ride Mercedes, funk
If I quit this season, I still be the greatest, funk
- HUMBLE.


Some rappers be talking about champagne showers and buying bottles on bottles on bottles on bottles, but Kendrick says he only spends about as much money as you make on drinks, and he just drives a modest car like a Mercedes. Then he says he'd be the greatest, but just for this season, not of all time.

7. My left stroke just went viral
Right stroke put lil' baby in a spiral
Soprano C, we like to keep it on a high note
-HUMBLE.


8. My DNA not for imitation
Your DNA an abomination 
- DNA.

Here, Kendrick says his DNA is nothing special, not copy him. Your DNA is the one that's different and special. An abomination is something that's against the norm, unheard of, unique!

9.  I blew cool from AC, ayy
Obama just paged me, ayy
I dont't fabricate it, ayy
Most of y'all be faking, ayy
I stay modest 'bout it, ayy
She elaborate it, ayy
-HUMBLE.



10. Been a bad b*tch way before any cash came
I'm established
- Rihanna in LOYALTY. 

So I know this is actually Rihanna's verse, but it's from the album, and it's a perfect lesson in humility. Here Rihanna has stayed the same person, and fame and money hasn't changed her. She's still the modest "bad b*tch" that she was before.

Why Am I a Warriors Fan?

Hello World!

With the NBA season coming to an end 😢 and the playoffs about to begin 😃, lets talk about the best team in the league, my favorite, the Golden State Warriors. Sure this season wasn't as great as last year, but they were playing against their own greatness. By normal standards, they still had a great year. Besides this year was different, because they lost to that team in Ohio which will remain unnamed, so they weren't focusing on 73 wins. This year the focus was always on the championship. Today, I thought I'd share how I became a Warriors fan.
