A Bit Better

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw a question in passing the other day— what could make your life 17% better this week? Let’s go— Not getting slapped in the face by the napkin on the street that gets swept up by the wind and flies wildly looking for its next victim. (Sick). Getting some appointments bookedContinue reading “A Bit Better”

The VS Fashion Show 2026

By: Gabriela Yareliz What was the best part of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026? Seeing women who have gone through so many phases of life looking so fire.

She isContinue reading “Wisdom from Tracy Tutor”

Laundry Snapple

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s Thursday, which means Sabbath prep. Part of that means doing laundry. As I was chatting with my mom, we remembered that when I was little and we lived in an apartment, our family went to a laundromat. I have a memory from this time; sitting, waiting and drinking a Snapple. It’sContinue reading “Laundry Snapple”

Lessons from Unburdened

By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved Dorit Kemsley’s book, Unburdened. These were some highlights for me: “Resilience without boundaries can quietly become self-punishment. I had always believed pushing through was strength.” “I care deeply. That will never change. But caring no longer means absorbing. Loving no longer means overlooking. Supporting no longer means silencing myself.” “OnceContinue reading “Lessons from Unburdened”
