All Outta Blake Videos
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am keeping another time zone. Just kidding; I can’t sleep. I don’t know what it is, but I am staring at the ceiling after a marathon of Blake Shelton interviews that failed to knock me out. What is it about hormones in general that makes weird emotions just take possession ofContinue reading “All Outta Blake Videos”
Cinnamon Brooms
By: Gabriela Yareliz Somehow, in a desert of Vogue magazines, my fiancé found me the iconic September cover. I swear, it’s like impossible to find a magazine in Brooklyn. Do we not love fashion as much as Manhattan? Sigh. He also got me two of my favorite things, those little cinnamon brooms from Trader Joe’s.Continue reading “Cinnamon Brooms”
Everything Can Change
By: Gabriela Yareliz I sat here listening to phone calls made by people who were in the twin towers as they were falling. The anguish, the fast but convicted ‘I love you’s, the screams. I cried. It always shakes me. I spent the whole day with a lump in my throat because today always hangsContinue reading “Everything Can Change”
Forcing the Season
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s fall. I’ve always been that person who forces fall (and spring, to be fair). I remember wearing my corduroy pants once school started. I distinctly remember melting at a UF bus stop in the hot August sun with a shoulder bag that is probably part of the reason why my shouldersContinue reading “Forcing the Season”
August 2023 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure someone got shot at the train station. They had it blocked off with caution tape, Citizen App is being cagey and there were bottles and bottles of purple cleaner and strawberry deodorizer. I have never been in a train or at a train station for that matter thatContinue reading “August 2023 Favorites”
A Havisham Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll start with this– I’ve missed writing. And I don’t mean my month recaps– though those are fun too (and one is coming). I mean I miss my brain dumps where I bare my heart and wax poetic. Reading Garance Dore archives reminded me of what it felt like to write journal-typeContinue reading “A Havisham Summer”
Where We Set Our Feet
“Anywhere God walks is not beneath us.” Stand Against the Wind, Erwin R. McManus I read this quote this morning, and it shook me. This will mean different things to different people, but it was such a reminder of the humility of Jesus, and not only in His earthly ministry, but the fact that, today,Continue reading “Where We Set Our Feet”
July 2023 Favorites
This July was a busy one, but the summer is flying by. I explored country stores, ate peaches and met a Teddy Roosevelt impersonator. I drank a peach apple slushie that was to die for. I explored a new city park, and then, a neat city pier. I walked through the Greenwich Village, which isContinue reading “July 2023 Favorites”
Icono Series: Frasier Crane (Frasier)
Frasier Crane is wild. He is demanding, excelling and sometimes annoying, but the man has taste and class. When Daphne was getting married, he called his taste and contribution, “the gift of Frasier.” He has an incredible vocabulary, voice and mind. Frasier is the epitome of a power intellect and a lover of beauty. HereContinue reading “Icono Series: Frasier Crane (Frasier)”
