Monday Inspiration: January 5, 2015

Hello all, I hope you are having a wonderful 2015. Tomorrow is the traditional Three Kings Day (Dia de Reyes), called Epiphany, by some. Children remember the Men of the East’s journey to Bethlehem by putting out boxes filled with straw for their camels. In the morning, the children receive gifts. This tradition came toContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 5, 2015”

Friday Glee: December 12, 2014

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. John Burroughs  [Both screenshots are from the film: La Delicatesse, which is such a treat.] [Is that theContinue reading “Friday Glee: December 12, 2014”

Exam Madness Inspiration

By: Gabriela Yareliz One word: Exams. Whole Foods had gluten-free pop tarts as buy-one-get-one-free. It also had a sale on Coconut Milk “Nog.” There is true joy in Manhattan. I also managed to trek in 20-something-degree weather (for my readers outside of the U.S., about -6 C?) for kale. Kale. Kale juice. Kale in allContinue reading “Exam Madness Inspiration”

Friday Motivation and Glee: December 5, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time to prepare for Sabbath. Friday means cleaning and jamming around my apartment (lots of Fifth Harmony, guys).

Monday Inspiration: November 17, 2014

Hellooo beautiful week! The skies are grey, the Holiday Market is being set up at Union Square (I can’t wait to take some amazing photos this year), and exams and interviews are coming soon. *giddy* This week’s Monday inspiration kind of reflects our NYC weather and vibe: soft light, twinkling details, old world & classic.

Friday Glee: November 7, 2014

Have an amazing Friday! I am feeling very Princess Jasmine today dressed in teal. My survival week after week is truly part of my religious experience. 🙂 It’s time to celebrate the weekend and all of God’s blessings.

The Lottery of Love?

By: Gabriela Yareliz Allow me to build my thesis: There are things that are very important to people when they are looking for a partner. We’ll call them the “nonnegotiable.” Weirdly, some can be amended by a persons choice to change or change of opinion; others are what they are. For example, I know people whoContinue reading “The Lottery of Love?”
