By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”

No Skipping
“People skip the parts of themselves they’re not ready to face. They avoid the very things that, once they’re willing to face them, open the door to profound growth. Those are the things that ultimately lead to healthier relationships, a happier life, and a lighter relationship with yourself. But because they’re uncomfortable, people keep skippingContinue reading “No Skipping”
Rollerblades
By: Gabriela Yareliz Where did all the rollerblades go? Did someone kidnap them all and bury them? Did they disappear with Toys-R-Us? Did the manufacturing center go bankrupt or burn down? We used to rollerblade so much on the 90s. Why is this not a hobby anymore? And don’t tell me it’s because too manyContinue reading “Rollerblades”
Swirling Around in the Mind
By: Gabriela Yareliz Cardiovascular Health for Women Did you know cardiovascular disease kills more women than all cancers combined? That was wild to learn. I really loved this conversation between Alisa Vitti and Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum. Highly recommend! Hilary Duff She still has us millennials in a chokehold. She is the millennial queen. She isContinue reading “Swirling Around in the Mind”

A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”
The Games Men Play
By: Gabriela Yareliz The news coming out of Ceuta, Spain is disturbing and eerily similar to scenes the U.S. border experienced in the past presidential administration. Borders overrun— and not by women and children or even families— no, by military age men. I have seen videos of local women crying and displaying an emotion thatContinue reading “The Games Men Play”

We meet again for the favorites! Time just flies. I have added miles of walking to my days. It has come with a combined burst of energy and also deep exhaustion toward the end of the day. Building resistance. Work can be such a little trap that keeps us still for hours. Resist. The summerContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.23.26”

Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”
My Summer with Homer
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was the summer before 9th grade. I was a volunteer, with my grandmother who was visiting us for the summer, at the vacation Bible school my brothers were attending in the neighborhood. One of the books on my summer reading list was The Odyssey. You could find me reading it outsideContinue reading “My Summer with Homer”
