Monday Inspiration: February 15, 2016

“To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” Stephen Levine By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy week to all of you, my fellow cold survivors. I had an amazing dinner on Saturday night. As we were walking outside, we checked the weather, and it was below zero temperatures. Craziness. It wasContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 15, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #70

This is a special brain-dump edition of Reflections. 1) Did anyone see the Justin Bieber GQ cover? See below. Look who’s all grown up! We forgive you, Justin, we forgive you. (Insert an Uncle Jesse *Have mercy!* here). 2) The Spanish Mafia was at the Goyas 2016. And now, they are in NYC for NYFW.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #70”

Reflections Before Bedtime #69

By: Gabriela Yareliz To be.

Friday Glee: February 5, 2016

Hi friends, Today, we explore snowy tragedies, what’s in an age (is it really nothing but a number?), questioning what it means to be really “grown up”, the political scene, breakups, languages, and maybe more– you know, if we get to it. Most of you aren’t from the U.S.; I love looking at my readerContinue reading “Friday Glee: February 5, 2016”

“It’s a ring”

It’s no secret that I love people’s stories, and I love power couples. So, when I saw that Clooney shared how he proposed, he had my full attention. He said he never thought he’d marry again, but then, six months after meeting Amal, he knew he didn’t want to live without her. Maybe, people outContinue reading ““It’s a ring””

She has proven to the world that there is a unique type of woman who doesn’t settle and isn’t superficial. This woman is successful, feminine, intelligent, caring, assertive, bold, stylish,Continue reading “Wednesday Badinage: February 3, 2016”
