By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we focus too much on gaining weight or losing weight, or how we look externally. We notice some acne or dryness on our skin or there is that area that we want to tighten up a bit. Our focus is often first on the outside. I think the key is toContinue reading “Reasons for Health”

Sunday Girl: July 30, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz I know several of you have commented on my long absence, so I thought I would do an update post, and just sort of let you know what has been going on lately. The following is exactly that. XOXO I was hoping this would be witty and short. Now that I sitContinue reading “Sunday Girl: July 30, 2017”
Planner
By: Gabriela Yareliz Not to sound like Pat Benatar, but life is a battlefield, and I am that woman. The planner. Always prepared. I always used my school planner, when I was younger. I even decorated it. I still have the same system, except now it’s in an Outlook calendar. My days have time slots,Continue reading “Planner”
I AM THE “ME” IN ENDOMETRIOSIS
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello beautiful friends! This post is about a campaign close to my heart: Get in the Know about ME in EndoMEtriosis. I had been learning a lot about this disease after I heard Julianne Hough was diagnosed with it, and then, my interest grew after I myself was diagnosed with it. It’sContinue reading “I AM THE “ME” IN ENDOMETRIOSIS”
Bare Beauty
By: Gabriela Yareliz The June 2017 Glamour issue is all about empowerment. Stories about body types that are not portrayed or accepted, ditching hair removal, embracing your hair’s natural texture, wearing makeup, not wearing makeup, ditching self tanner, getting sober– being “bare,” meaning being vulnerable inside and out. I loved it. It made me happy.Continue reading “Bare Beauty”
New Balance
By: Gabriela Yareliz Let’s call this the year of finding balance. Let’s. Or maybe, the year I learned that every year is a year of finding balance. I am realizing (as naive as it may sound), that each year brings its own unique set of scales. Balance looks different as life continues to pass usContinue reading “New Balance”
Conversations On Being A Woman
By: Gabriela Yareliz Lately, women who inspire me have opened up to start conversations on topics we women have shied away from, typically. I can’t say enough how empowering and interesting it has been to listen and join these conversations on PMS, endometriosis, menstruation, relationships, and health. And I mean deep conversations, not the typicalContinue reading “Conversations On Being A Woman”
Erin Andrews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Can we take a minute and talk about Erin Andrews? She is fantastic. She was born on the same day as me (that’s not why she is fantastic, but I think it’s pretty cool). She is a fellow University of Florida College of Journalism graduate. Florida girl. She also has made it in anContinue reading “Erin Andrews”
Sunday Girl: January 29, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz On Sundays, I wake up like Kate, from the movie No Reservations. You know, the chef. She wakes up early to pick out the fish and truffles for her fancy West Village restaurant. I wake up early and pick up the missing ingredients for the dishes I want to make for theContinue reading “Sunday Girl: January 29, 2017”
Truth Commission
By: Gabriela Yareliz In my study of human rights, few things fascinated me as much as truth commissions, also known as reconciliation commissions. They are known as commissions (and essentially tribunals) that look at and investigate wrongdoing by governments and individual actors in situations like civil wars, genocide and mass atrocities. To be honest, oftenContinue reading “Truth Commission”
