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”

Parrots Everywhere
By: Gabriela Yareliz I know someone who has zero engagement with life. They just take what you say or information you drop and parrot it to the next person to appear competent. These types of people were definitely the kids who cheated off of other kids in school. This person kept name dropping books. TheyContinue reading “Parrots Everywhere”
The Fence
“There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say…a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.’ To which the more intelligent type of reformer willContinue reading “The Fence”
Responsibility
“I am responsible,” are the most important words that will reverberate through our minds. Therein lies so much power.
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”
A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I got to the hotel after our walking tour, I had my work cut out for me. My navy linen dress had melted onto me. My chest and arms were blue (thank you, Banana Republic). I started with makeup remover wipes, moved onto a wet towel and then, showered. My eveningsContinue reading “A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue”
The Magic of Nashville
By: Gabriela Yareliz Nashville is a place of grit, transformation and generosity. One of the highlights of my trip was going on a Nashville Adventures walking tour. After all the delays and inconveniences in getting to the city, this time learning from our tour guide Paul Whitten was the highlight of the trip. Do yourselfContinue reading “The Magic of Nashville”
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?”

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s America’s birthday week. Let’s gooooo! I love a good birthday. Always. This week was a busy one. I felt like I was in two places at once, working across time zones and stupidity. The southern heat was an intense one, and I am not one to complain about heat. On oneContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.02.26”
