This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26

A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”

Car Life

By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you truly lived if you didn’t have a car that needed bottles of anti-freeze in the trunk, a gallon of water in the back, bottles of power steering fluid or oil or frequent stops to fill up the tires? Like, what is life without a car you have stories about? Also,Continue reading “Car Life”

This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26

Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”

This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”

Calming Hunger at the Redneck Riviera

By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt like I had wandered a desert on an empty stomach. I am being dramatic, but the heat was intense (like where the air looks squiggly). I felt alone on the street aside from the occasional screaming bachelorette party on the bike bus contraptions. I knew that a few miles fromContinue reading “Calming Hunger at the Redneck Riviera”

Where is the Stargazer’s Lounge?

By: Gabriela Yareliz My eyes were scanning a long line of taxis, empty and ready to go. JFK would never. That would be too smart. When you arrive to BNA (Nashville International Airport), you are spoiled for choice. A taxi driver signaled to me, telling me to walk to the front of the cluster (whoseContinue reading “Where is the Stargazer’s Lounge?”

JetBlue (Sweat) Ghetto

By: Gabriela Yareliz We were delayed. “It’s getting hotter and hotter,” the pilot told us. So we would be delayed further because they couldn’t get the plane to cool with external units. *collective sigh from the cohort of southbound travelers* The plane had no functioning AC on the ground. The day wasn’t even sweltering. ItContinue reading “JetBlue (Sweat) Ghetto”

Game Four

This is a shallow report… brace yourself. By: Gabriela Yareliz Listen, we can talk about how Carolina brought game. They beat the VGK with the Staal goal and the wild Ehlers empty-netter from the other side’s boards. Rod Brind’Amour was wide-eyed, and Dominique Ducharme for VGK, with the white hair and beard, had crazy eyesContinue reading “Game Four”

Prime Time Capsule

By: Gabriela Yareliz Prime holds a time capsule. Guys, I just found out this weekend that Amazon Prime shows live television loops. I discovered this because Brendan Burchard’s GrowthDay Network streams on Prime for free. You can watch his conversations and coaching sessions with Ed Mylett, Trent Shelton, Mel Robbins, Erin McManus, etc., on there.Continue reading “Prime Time Capsule”

Baby Jesus

“Oh my word, we have one more. I didn’t see that one. Someone left us another baby Jesus!” Lady with the blue eyeshadow at the Citrus Welcome Center in Ocala By: Gabriela Yareliz Everywhere we went, we found baby Jesuses. At the citrus center, restaurants, coffee shops, and even our captain on the glass bottomContinue reading “Baby Jesus”
