Today’s Dose of Inspiration: Sept. 3, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz Woke up at the crack of dawn; I had to drink three cups of water to get one horse-pill multi-vitamin down; today will be a long day filled with classes– the struggle is real. After waking up early and getting some stuff done, I thought, I can go to bed and sleepContinue reading “Today’s Dose of Inspiration: Sept. 3, 2014”

This Month’s Picks: August 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz This month took forever. I have been drafting this post for so long, I was surprised to see some of my “picks” (it feels like I found them ages ago). August is one of those get-up-to-speed months. A month of warmth and cooling temperatures. One of the last green months. A month of deadlines. A monthContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: August 2014”

Noticing the Details

By: Gabriela Yareliz While walking home, I opened my new textbook on criminal activity and the law. I always look for book dedications. I am that kind of person.

Summer Cleaning and Mental Spillover

By: Gabriela Yareliz Summertime cleaning is here. Euro fashion bloggers are out in Ibiza and Napoli tanning. Unconsciously, the rest of us are wondering how we can get to Ibiza in the first place, someday. I know, it’s about being happy with our own unique blessings and realities. We believe this, but at the sameContinue reading “Summer Cleaning and Mental Spillover”

Shall We Walk to TriBeCa?

[Photos belong to: Gabriela Yareliz] By: Gabriela Yareliz This summer, I worked in Tribeca (triangle below canal street). It became sort of a second home, this neighborhood. I think Tribeca is a neighborhood second only to the Village. It’s clean, renovated, trendy and by the river. This is where you can find shops with French opera posters,Continue reading “Shall We Walk to TriBeCa?”

Summer 2014 GIFs

Welcome to feelings and thoughts that fill our hearts during a working summer in New York City. It was my last summer as an intern. After this, it’s the real world. 1]  When you enter your new work environment and meet new colleagues. Beginnings are always difficult. The middle is always great, and the end is alwaysContinue reading “Summer 2014 GIFs”

This Month’s Picks: July 2014

(I am laughingContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: July 2014”
