The first favorites of October. This morning, I walked a good 15 minutes to a coffee shop that serves turmeric lattes, only to arrive and see it was closed even though according to Google and the sign on the door, they should have been open already for an hour. That was the vibe this week.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.2.26”

This Week’s Favorites 09.25.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz How is this the last favorites for September 2026? Facts. This week was busy. Left me feeling like Punch in this pic: My wish came true, and it’s SWEATER WEATHER. The wind has it feeling 9F cooler than it is. A dream. I wore fleece, sweaters and a set of light jacketsContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 09.25.26”
Be Good to Yourself
By: Gabriela Yareliz [It’s a double post day due to WordPress and train signal sabotage I was unaware of yesterday.] I started the day pressed up again half of NYC in train delays. The air is crisp— and we are thriving despite the multiple avenues of sabotage, which we are reframing as changing the pace.Continue reading “Be Good to Yourself”
Dolly, the Legend
“I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life. I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.” Dolly Parton Rest in peace, queen.
For the Dandelions
By: Gabriela Yareliz My favorite flower as a kid was a daisy. I loved a wild daisy. They were sunny and bright. I never discriminated against a sunny and bright dandelion, though. If there is a flower I touched a lot in life, it was that one. I have memories of playing house or weddingContinue reading “For the Dandelions”
This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26
I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”
Let’s Go, Ellaaaaaa
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s an exciting day for Ms. Langley. I really love her music, and clearly, I am not alone. It was a real treat to hear cover bands cover her songs in Nashville. In honor of her breaking the Billboard record (and because this video is pure art)— I just have to: AndContinue reading “Let’s Go, Ellaaaaaa”
This Week’s Favorites 08.14.26
One week closer to fall weather, my friends. After rain, NYC has felt considerably cooler this week. It’s nice to feel a breeze when you walk. Bless. IG is filled with two camps— “last of summer” and “it’s fall”. I finished Nicole Sach’s book, and it never got better. I don’t think I have readContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.14.26”
This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26
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”
Saoko
By: Gabriela Yareliz NYC has felt the influx of people for the World Cup. I have seen large clusters of Brazilians, Algerians, French, and Colombian visitors. I have been listening to Saoko on repeat. It’s all about change and transformation, after all. Some of the moments collected in the week (culturally and personally): The TkachuksContinue reading “Saoko”
