Memories of The Simple Life.

By: Gabriela Yareliz

My bag has the goods— and by goods, I mean bagels from Bagel Pub. Bless.

It’s Friday, and it’s time to clean and pack for a trip down South. I am going to dig through and find dressy pants that I can wear with flats and not worry about on my period. Do you have any idea how hard that is for someone petite? That’s the afternoon challenge. Even petite pants some times require something that at least gives you an inch off the floor or it drags. The plight of the short woman. I am thinking dressy linen shorts.

Why do I feel like I am packing for a nerdy camping trip? Except I would never bring this damn work laptop on that type of a trip unless it was to drown it in a river or something. Facts.

I packed my bronzer because I feel like I go nowhere without that bronzer, this summer.

Today, I finished my 21-day The Core challenge. Excited to start the Pyro Summer Strength one. It’s humid and sticky in NYC, today. World Cup tourists abound.

Here are some of the things that caught my eye this week:

Lionel and Candace. Never expected to see these two together back in the day.

There’s a tiredness that isn’t about sleep; it’s about performing a life that looks good but doesn’t quite fit.” Madison Joseph

Rod Brind’Amour’s speech at the victory parade.

I am not going to lie, this victory parade felt more humble (in budget) than the Florida Panthers one. It lacked some Florida sparkle. Folks went tarps off, though. Raleigh still got lit.

Brind’Amour was all humble and professional, and they ripped his shirt off. Of course they did. This coach is going into his own hall of fame.

The meaning behind his new number eight.

So when they tell you to niche down, hear the half of it that’s true: get clear. Own a word. Become impossible to confuse with anyone else.” Naomi Omamuli Emiko

(Codie Sanchez on her pregnancy and fear of miscarriage)

“If the baby stays, you’ll be the first to meet them. 

If the baby doesn’t stay, I’ll tell you that too. 

This is the contract I’m making with you, because the silence is what nearly broke me. 

And I will not do it that way anymore.” Codie Sanchez
