By: Gabriela Yareliz -The Strongest Virtue: Resilience- There’s a Russian saying that says something like, even the strongest piece of metal will break if it takes enough hits. Something like that. Do not quote me. I am not a Russian philosopher. This has had me thinking. The true virtue is not in being strong, butContinue reading “Thoughts on the First Day of Autumn”

Autumn Essentials
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s the autumn essentials, and by essentials, I of course mean books. It’s the season for cozy evenings and candle light. What will you be reading? What books are hitting my shelf this autumn? You don’t have to ask me twice… Evergreen: Discover the Joy in Every Season Lydia Millen’s favorite chapterContinue reading “Autumn Essentials”
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”
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”
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)”
Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)
Van Horn (portrayed by Wendie Malick) has incredible style. There are barely any photos or pieces on her fashion because she was a fixture on a 90s television show, Just Shoot Me. I did find one (some of our images are from this article and IMDb). Nina is a former (and legendary) supermodel turned editorContinue reading “Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)”
Icono Series: Barbie
I haven’t seen the new movie, but Barbie was truly a childhood icono. There is a reason why more adults are flocking to see this movie… we are the ones who grew up with her and created a million stories with her. This mood board is all about pink. First, Barbie always inspired femininity… …Continue reading “Icono Series: Barbie”
Icono Series: Melissa Wood Tepperberg
Melissa Wood Tepperberg has changed my life with intentional movement. I have tried many other workout programs, but my lack of interest in them is not because they aren’t good but because they aren’t Melissa. I haven’t found anyone who approaches movement and wellness in the way she does, and for this reason, she isContinue reading “Icono Series: Melissa Wood Tepperberg”
