Strike a Pose
Don’t worry– these are not the shots. In this post are some shameless selfies of my hair and makeup before the photo session.

La Seduction
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, I bought a fabulous little book called La Seduction by Elaine Sciolino, a Paris-based journalist.

Before I run off
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have been called in to work today. It turns out there will be a Spanish speaking group there… ahh the benefits of being a polyglot. I encourage anyone who has any slight interest in any culture or language to go for it. It will always pay off. It adds something toContinue reading “Before I run off”
My failed interviews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last day of class folks. Yup. People are marching into the 24-hour libraries with pillows under their arms. I am not kidding.
