Sunday Girl: October 30, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was going up the stairs, after getting off of a train. There were so many people, it felt like the people were pushing me up the stairs.

Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016

Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s like someone flipped a switch. Autumn began with the cutest Google animation of little rocks eating a leaf (did anyone else see the adorableness?), and then, BAM, sixty-degree weather that makes your nose run. I was almost stranded in Jersey City last night with a shut-down Path train station, and aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016”
Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016
