By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, the bridge looked metallic silver in the bright sunshine. A good Friday morning to you! The train is quiet aside from gentle sniffles and the train conductor who sounds completely unhinged, but it’s not his fault— it’s the intercom. Most people’s eyes are closed. We made it. Even the girlContinue reading “Friday Gratitude”

This Week’s Favs 3.12.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, we went from 60F to 39F. It’s literally raining/snowing outside. The weather is wild. My torso is less on fire thanks to a plantain oil tincture I made. This stuff works. March feels so busy, and I haven’t even gotten to the taxes part of the to-do list. My bodyContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 3.12.26”
Spring Transition Outfits
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reset. I love a good spring reset. Mine has consisted of better sleep, taking out caffeine and continued and progressive strength training. It will be a matchaless spring. Dr. Stolberg’s tea has been my go-to along with gynostemma (they call it the poor man’s ginseng). In this new warmth, some interestingContinue reading “Spring Transition Outfits”
The Goddess Review
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are some wild product reviews out there. They can be the most fun part of the website— kind of like the comments section. Here is a review that recently caught my attention—Luna Bronze. Today’s review is about this self-tanning bronzer from Revolve. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was aContinue reading “The Goddess Review”
Resplendent
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, it was really dark. Darker than I remember a morning in a long time. I had to turn on the lights to force myself to get ready. After that darkness, I got on the train. When we hit the bridge, the sunshine was splayed out everywhere— I hadn’t seen thatContinue reading “Resplendent”
Wisdom from Martha Graeff
Words and advice by Martha Graeff: “1. Not everyone who loves you knows how to show up for you; 2. Peace is more valuable than being understood; 3. Boundaries will cost you relationships and then save you; 4. You can’t heal in the same environment that hurt you; 5. Being strong for too long teachesContinue reading “Wisdom from Martha Graeff”
Daylight Savings to 1997
The Olsen twins had those little bangs and short hair. Stacks of American Girl catalogs and magazines. Home videos. Music video channels. Shakira didn’t speak English. Phones were attached to a wall. Long distance calls were done with calling cards. The 101 Dalmatians were all the rage. We were all Disney princesses. Recess was forContinue reading “Daylight Savings to 1997”
Hard
“Doing hard sh*t is the gateway to everything you want in life. It changes your brain chemistry. You’re not overwhelmed. You’re under-challenged. Easy choices create fragile minds. Friction creates stability. When your life is built around comfort, fast dopamine, instant delivery, and constant distraction, your nervous system forgets how to handle resistance. So the smallestContinue reading “Hard”
Are We Healing From Casual?
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things Nina Van Horn warns about in Just Shoot Me! is her theory that J.Crew and casualwear are destroying society. She had no idea it would be so much worse than J.Crew. J.Crew is formal compared to what we wear on the reg. It was the 90s afterContinue reading “Are We Healing From Casual?”
Unsent Letters
By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever written a letter you never sent? Have you ever kept unsent letters? I recently finished a book that relied heavily on preserved correspondence, and I have to admit, some of the most interesting correspondence was the stuff that was never sent. The unsent letters can be the most unhinged,Continue reading “Unsent Letters”
