Kim Kardashian Spent the Day At San Quentin’s Death Row For A Very Important Reason

She’s doing essential work. Kim Kardashian visited San Quentin’s death row docket for an extremely important reason. If you didn’t know, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians starlet is currently studying to become a lawyer. She hopes to take the California Bar Exam in the next several years. However, she hasn’t just been in hitting the books. The KKW Beauty mogul has also been working to free unfairly incarcerated people from prisons. Thus far, Kardashian has helped advocate for the release of over a dozen people.

However, her latest campaign might be her toughest yet. The mom-of-four visited, the notorious San Quentin’s death row to speak with an incarcerated person named Kevin Cooper. Cooper has been on death row since the 1980s when he was convicted of murdering four people in Chino Hills, Californa. However, for over 30 years, Cooper has adamantly maintained his innocence while weathering California’s ever-changing death row policies. Cooper has been on Kardashian’s radar since at least Oct. 2018 when she pressed then-governer Jerry Brown to look into Cooper’s case. Many people, including Kim, believe that Cooper was framed for the crime. As a result of the reality star’s public plea, Brown ordered DNA testing and current governer Gavin Newsom also ordered further testing early this year.

Newsome also suspended all executions during his tenure as governor. He said,

The death penalty has been an abject failure. It discriminates based on the color of your skin or how much money you make. It’s ineffective, irreversible, and immoral. It goes against the very values that we stand for — which is why CA is putting a stop to this failed system.

Though the DNA test results have not been publicly released, Kardashian took it upon herself to visit Cooper to get to know him personally and hear more about his story. According to TMZ, she is “more convinced than ever he was framed.”

No matter how you may personally feel about Kim Kardashian West, the work that she is doing is very difficult and extremely important.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
