“A guilty pleasure of mine is Waspy country club culture. It’s so camp. Adults wearing matching white outfits, playing sports, eating chicken salad and drinking vodka at noon? Incredible.” The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night, we went to the napkin ring part of the neighborhood. The large houses that spend an entireContinue reading “Harvest Moon Anticipation”

Craft Heaven
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on the train (naturally— when am I not?), and I saw an ad for a new Hobby Lobby in Tribeca. This is not a drill! We have a Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby reminds me of my days in Gainesville. I love the smell in there. We love Hobby Lobby inContinue reading “Craft Heaven”
Autumn Quotes
Some autumn quotes that caught my eye this week: “Beguile us in the way you know; Release one leaf at the break of day.” Robert Frost “If autumn is a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, then October is a month of velvet and champagne and smoke curling into cold air like hope.” Hannah Connolly
Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
Who to Look For
By: Gabriela Yareliz Only Murders in the Buildings is in its best season yet. Its latest episode reminds us of an important principle for life. Always pay attention to who wants to silence you, then, ask yourself why. Important life skill.
Simplifying for Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz The goal is to simplify. As the seasons turn, I have that urge to clean, as I have mentioned before. It’s a built-in syndrome or something. This cleaning is not limited to actual closet sweeps, but also, apps, subscriptions, etc. It’s time to take inventory. I still need to do a comprehensiveContinue reading “Simplifying for Autumn”
A NYC Monday
My Kindle is out of battery. I am reading a crappy book, but it beats this. We are a captive train audience. A man in a Knicks hat with tattoos sleeves on each arm is foaming at the mouth and yelling into people’s faces. The devil has found us today. The disturbed man dishes insults toContinue reading “A NYC Monday”
Some Steve for this Friday
Few people are as inspiring as Steve Harvey. No matter where you are in life— there is something for you in this montage of Steve Harvey talks. He is relentless, and he shares his light.
Moving Toward Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially autumn. The express train is weirdly emptier than usual, though I spot some of my regular commuting buddies. It was a warm last week, and temperatures are dropping again into the sixties. Bliss. I have yet to get to seasonal cleaning, but I will. This week, I am feeling theContinue reading “Moving Toward Autumn”
The Woman in White
By: Gabriela Yareliz There was a woman on the train holding her toddler. She was sitting in a double seat bench, wearing all white and a white hat. She had long dark braids with metal hoops braided into her hair. She was incredibly polished, and at the same time, simple. It was already 8pm, butContinue reading “The Woman in White”
