This Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard video left me with chills. It’s powerful. If you can’t watch the whole thing, please watch the last ten minutes. My husband and I like to watch these chef videos, and this is probably the coolest kitchen and culture I have seen so far. This chef’s life is quite remarkable,Continue reading “Restaurant Jordnær”

This Week’s Favs 05.01.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s 2004 in my brain. My birthday is days away, and I am feeling nostalgic. I bought Bubbilicious watermelon gum 🍉. I saw the Laguna Beach reunion happened, and went back to old clips of the show. All the shows I wasn’t allowed to watch are on my mind, ha. Ahh theContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 05.01.26”
No Small Act
By: Gabriela Yareliz I went from listening to a podcast about Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper (I don’t know these people, but it’s all people can talk about) to Oprah talking about the Hoffman Process (I landed there after the heartwarming Emma Grede podcast). I was walking from an appointment, and the sun was showeringContinue reading “No Small Act”

“I feel uncomfortable when things are too precious.” Laila Gohar to AD It’s always a good time to celebrate, bring out the china, wear the dress, put on the lipstick— today is the day to live.
Wants
“And then there is the version of you that wakes up and realizes the stability is something you build yourself. If you want a strong body, you train it. If you want a peaceful life, you structure it. If you want a premium brand, you build it brick by brick. If you want financial security,Continue reading “Wants”
Neighbors, Histamines and Noticing
By: Gabriela Yareliz I walked out with a neighbor. There is an intimacy to being a neighbor. You hear them yell at their kids, and they see you go grab a package in PJs. So when you see each other fully dressed and calm moving through the real world, it’s always interesting. Not good orContinue reading “Neighbors, Histamines and Noticing”
