By: Gabriela Yareliz In my mind exists the most intricate public restrooms map of New York City. I know the best ones. I would walk from the West Village up to Central Park and stop for bathroom breaks along the way. (If you had a bladder the size of a pea, you would do theContinue reading “Sunday Girl: The Mental Map”

Retro Enough
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I weirdly woke up in such a Cher mood. After drying my hair and seeing it fall into a middle part, I decided to paint my face in a 70s style. We all need days of fun and creative expression. What and who inspires you on your random colorful days?
Ticket
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have this olive green dress from Target that I love. I’ve had it since 2009. It stands out because it’s sleeveless and has deep pockets. It’s made from comfortable light material. Perfect for a summer day. I took it to France with me the summer of 2009. In the process ofContinue reading “Ticket”
The List
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am staring at my phone. I can see my Whole Foods delivery person on the map. They are supposedly here. Right here. And yet– no buzzer. No groceries. I think he/she is taking a break downstairs. As I wait, I continue to think of my cleaning list. I am trying toContinue reading “The List”

My mailman is my friend now– he knows who I am and which packages are mine. This is status inContinue reading “Thoughts on a Bitter Cold Winter Day”
The Adventures We’ll Go On
By: Gabriela Yareliz I miss getting dressed. I miss putting on clothes to have fun and not to be practical (long walks or doctors appts) or for a short excursion to the grocery store (because oat milk). I miss getting dressed for life. I can’t be the only one. The New Yorker published a funContinue reading “The Adventures We’ll Go On”
Sunday Girl: The Starter Kit
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Life is unwritten, like a great big experiment.” Sophia Amoruso I am currently leading a Bible study called A New Thing. It’s all about dreaming and learning to perceive that new thing that God wants to take you into. God is always doing something new in our lives. It’s customary at theContinue reading “Sunday Girl: The Starter Kit”
The Sparkle In Silver
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have found a sprinkling of silver in my hair– this is a new thing. I feel like it’s the conversation du jour. I saw a friend post a poll on Instagram asking whether she should dye her new-found grays. Today, it weirdly came up in a discussion with a friend, andContinue reading “The Sparkle In Silver”
Takeaways from Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights
By: Gabriela Yareliz I love a good biography. The more unconventional the life, the better. I think there is something powerful about learning from other’s experiences and also expanding your world beyond how you were raised and conditioned. I was fascinated by Greenlights, as it lays out philosophies intertwined with McConaughey’s life experiences. His voiceContinue reading “Takeaways from Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights”
