By: Gabriela Yareliz Have I gotten weak? I wondered. I watched the woman walk across the train platform in a beige tweed blazer. You have to understand, the day has 100% humidity, and it has rained on and off. It’s not cooling rain; it’s steaming rain. The air is sticky, or as Theo Von says,Continue reading “Summer Tweed”

Asked for a Sign
And got it. By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I heard Dr. Edie speak, and her words touched my heart. Deeply. I went out for a walk, and I had that warm feeling— that feeling when you go, I think God just spoke to me just now. It stayed on my mind. Sometimes, we are faced withContinue reading “Asked for a Sign”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway. Yesterday, I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, sorted through cans and refreshed extermination tools. I am satisfied with what I accomplished this week. This week, we lost many people, including the legendaryContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26”
Looking Around the Salon
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Did I tell you about the drugs?” the elderly woman under the hair heat lamp asked her stylist after a long period of silence. Her stylist, an older Italian gentleman, moved the cart with the foils and bowl of creamy goop he had just placed on her head. “Drugs?” He asked asContinue reading “Looking Around the Salon”
The Setup
“Chronic stress management is not optional — it is hormonal maintenance.” Rich Girl Academy By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading a piece on declining fertility the other day, and it made a point to highlight that hormonal imbalances in women today don’t just belong to the woman in the present, but we are set upContinue reading “The Setup”

I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”
A Rainy Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining inside of my train car. It’s not supposed to be raining in here, but there is a steady drip-drip. An Asian girl held out her hand and laughed, trying to catch a drop of the mystery liquid falling. I almost opened my umbrella in here, but instead moved to anotherContinue reading “A Rainy Day”

One week closer to fall weather, my friends. After rain, NYC has felt considerably cooler this week. It’s nice to feel a breeze when you walk. Bless. IG is filled with two camps— “last of summer” and “it’s fall”. I finished Nicole Sach’s book, and it never got better. I don’t think I have readContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.14.26”
Deep Nightmare
By: Gabriela Yareliz I woke up from a nightmare, this morning. It reminded me of what it felt like when the COVID vaccine mandates ended in NYC. I haven’t said much about Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth a million times, but I have been paying attention. I wonder who else has been paying attention. TheseContinue reading “Deep Nightmare”
Summer Days
“When I look back on this summer, when I look back on my life, I want to know that I was fully there. I want to know that I was the first to arrive and the last to leave.” Tylee Shay By: Gabriela Yareliz Summer makes us dream. Strawberry patches. Lake water. Boats. An oldContinue reading “Summer Days”
