Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this and smiled when I saw Pluto and its mixed status. Spoiler alert— now, while Mars is the most popular, Pluto remains on the list. As children, we were intrigued by it. Then, they told us it wasn’t a planet. We didn’t care. We are the generation that kept Pluto.Continue reading “Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS”

Restaurant Jordnær

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”

Bloody Hell

By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt a rush go through my entire body, and then, a knot surged in my throat. I was walking to a training at a law firm in The New York Times building (yes, that New York Times), and I was scurrying toward the building from the train. I was excited aboutContinue reading “Bloody Hell”

Patron Saint of Ill Passengers

By: Gabriela Yareliz When you ride an Uber and you do not feel well, you feel every bump in the road. You feel every pothole and every poor, slapped on repair. In NYC, it can be a harrowing experience. There should be a patron saint of all sick Uber passengers. Praying for them all.

Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More

By: Gabriela Yareliz I found a magic rice. It cooks in six minutes. I don’t know what that sorcery is. I looked for it again this week like it was a sack of magic legumes and didn’t find it. I am on the hunt for Brad’s Organic Basmati Rice. (After years of feeling pure antipathyContinue reading “Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More”

The Goddess Review

By: Gabriela Yareliz There are some wild product reviews out there. They can be the most fun part of the website— kind of like the comments section. Here is a review that recently caught my attention—Luna Bronze. Today’s review is about this self-tanning bronzer from Revolve. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was aContinue reading “The Goddess Review”

Are We Healing From Casual?

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things Nina Van Horn warns about in Just Shoot Me! is her theory that J.Crew and casualwear are destroying society. She had no idea it would be so much worse than J.Crew. J.Crew is formal compared to what we wear on the reg. It was the 90s afterContinue reading “Are We Healing From Casual?”

My Torso is on Fire

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s going to be a rainy week. Today is the one sunny day, and I am grateful. You can just feel the March energy, even though it was freezing this morning. I saw someone start their post by saying they feel like they are drowning (it was all on the luxury ofContinue reading “My Torso is on Fire”

Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz The snow piles remain. Winter has us all about to fling ourselves on the snow piles in resignation. “Just leave me here,” we want to say. But “onward,” as someone who does nothing at work typically says to those doing the heavy lifting. Onward, indeed. Today, I heard a clown horn (youContinue reading “Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26”
