By: Gabriela Yareliz Jena Covello is a household name— she is the founder of Agent Nateur. She posts a lot of health content, specifically around hormones and endometriosis, as this started her journey with Agent Nateur (finding/creating a clean deodorant). Her recent posts had me sad. The woman went through like one year pain-free, andContinue reading “A Hope For Those Feeling Broken”

This Week’s Favorites 07.23.26
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”
Running Lists, Arguments and Characters You Meet On a Train
By: Gabriela Yareliz I feel like there are several lists we keep running in our heads. One is the list of stuff that must get done in a series of days/weeks within the season; then, there is stuff we want to organize, workouts to get to, donations to be taken to the bins, etc. IContinue reading “Running Lists, Arguments and Characters You Meet On a Train”
Tio Freddy
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was a child, I loved a Sabbath lunch at my Uncle (tio) Freddy’s house. His house was a magical and mysterious one. Each room had a theme and color scheme. The blue room with the lamps with beaded fringe was my favorite. The red bathroom was my favorite one. ThereContinue reading “Tio Freddy”

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”
Parrots Everywhere
By: Gabriela Yareliz I know someone who has zero engagement with life. They just take what you say or information you drop and parrot it to the next person to appear competent. These types of people were definitely the kids who cheated off of other kids in school. This person kept name dropping books. TheyContinue reading “Parrots Everywhere”
Responsibility
“I am responsible,” are the most important words that will reverberate through our minds. Therein lies so much power.
This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I got to the hotel after our walking tour, I had my work cut out for me. My navy linen dress had melted onto me. My chest and arms were blue (thank you, Banana Republic). I started with makeup remover wipes, moved onto a wet towel and then, showered. My eveningsContinue reading “A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue”
