By: Gabriela Yareliz I read a piece on Substack about having an “analog fall.” To live life like a 90s sitcom adult. Imagine that. I smiled and thought back at this past weekend where we took photos of some neat antique cars with disposable film cameras. I had been organically inching toward analog before IContinue reading “Analog”

To the Unseen Words
By: Gabriela Yareliz This one goes out to all the morning pages, journal pages and brain dumps where we process all of the words that jam into our brain channels. Where we let it all out and then, feel free. The great unclogging. I ended last week with a ton of pent up energy andContinue reading “To the Unseen Words”
Craft Heaven
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on the train (naturally— when am I not?), and I saw an ad for a new Hobby Lobby in Tribeca. This is not a drill! We have a Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby reminds me of my days in Gainesville. I love the smell in there. We love Hobby Lobby inContinue reading “Craft Heaven”
Autumn Quotes
Some autumn quotes that caught my eye this week: “Beguile us in the way you know; Release one leaf at the break of day.” Robert Frost “If autumn is a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, then October is a month of velvet and champagne and smoke curling into cold air like hope.” Hannah Connolly
Simplifying for Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz The goal is to simplify. As the seasons turn, I have that urge to clean, as I have mentioned before. It’s a built-in syndrome or something. This cleaning is not limited to actual closet sweeps, but also, apps, subscriptions, etc. It’s time to take inventory. I still need to do a comprehensiveContinue reading “Simplifying for Autumn”
The One Who Learns the Most
By: Gabriela Yareliz Back-to-school season is upon us. Fall is in the air early. (Usually, NYC is at a low simmer during this time of the year). The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drainedContinue reading “The One Who Learns the Most”
August
By: Gabriela Yareliz August. A time of transition. The true end and beginning of the year. This time always makes me think of wooden pencils, corduroy, and lined paper with the little holes. I saw somewhere that this autumn is expected to be cooler than most in NYC. August, while still officially summer, blurs intoContinue reading “August”
September 2024 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially autumn!!! (Yes, that deserves three exclamation points). Man, I love this season. The mornings are dark and glowy. It’s raining as I type this, and I am playing an “Autumn Jazz” playlist. The diffuser is going with all the yummy oils. The only word that comes to mind is “glow.”Continue reading “September 2024 Favorites”
August 2024 Favorites
Hello friends, August rushed off. What does this mean? The month was a bit of a blur. It was filled with busy stuff at work, back-to-school, smoothies, sweaty walks around Central Park where I was offered a carriage ride almost every day, a tow truck ride with a really nice guy who can back upContinue reading “August 2024 Favorites”
September 2023 Favorites
Happy October! I ended September dressed like a storm chaser. I wore a poncho last weekend (bright blue, for those interested in fashion), and this Friday, I was one of the unfortunate souls to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge back home when the city canceled all train service due to flooding. I am grateful forContinue reading “September 2023 Favorites”
