By: Gabriela Yareliz Ms. Shah is a pro— or so I heard. She had on spa music that matches my favorite massage place, and her storefront business was packed. “That music is the secret to keeping everyone calm while they wait,” Ms. Shah said laughing. I had wandered over to Ms. Shah’s eyebrow spa becauseContinue reading “The Eyebrow Spa”

Why is it so Hard to Relax?
By: Gabriela Yareliz I need to be held accountable, so I am doing a full on confessional today. I am currently studying my habits and trying to fix them. I am gathering some of my favorite pieces of advice from books and podcasts and assembling them into an action plan. (I need to find aContinue reading “Why is it so Hard to Relax?”
Things Everyone Seems to Have
There are some things that it feels like everyone has. This is mostly a humorous post, but you will agree with me on at least one, I am sure. What ubiquitous item(s) have you spotted? #ACaseStudy
A Lunar Pull
By: Gabriela Yareliz Listen, I can’t give you the exact information I read in the almanac, partly because I don’t know it by memory (and the book is across the studio, and I am too lazy to get up), and partly because I have only been reading an almanac for a year. I am dweebyContinue reading “A Lunar Pull”
Autumn Morning on the Train
Mornings can be strange. It is our first one without rain in almost a week. Sometimes, when I sit on the train, I wonder if something is wrong. People look at me intently, and I ask myself if I somehow forgot my pants or something. This morning, I got several of those intent looks. IContinue reading “Autumn Morning on the Train”
Switchblade PCRs, Standing Dresses and the Triplets Return

The wedding planner Kevin,Continue reading “Wedding Planning (Vanderpump is a Mood)”
A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)

For Christmas, I get the new Paris Hilton fragrance with a black quilted handbag that has a little compact in it, and it has the name “Paris Hilton” embroidered into it in bright pink. The greatly coveted and cherished gift set. If you were a teen in the early 2000s,Continue reading “A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)”
Martha Service
By: Gabriela Yareliz My mind has still be stirring with thoughts on service (that and the Johnny Depp trial). I have been enjoying the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. It’s a story that is often told or talked about, especially in regards to women. I feel like mostContinue reading “Martha Service”
