Napkin Rings

[Image from @KushaAlagband] By: Gabriela Yareliz I recently read a fantastic post by one of my favorite writers, Candid Kay. It was a reflection on a legitimate fear and problem. It made me reflect on something that has been on my mind, all weekend. My own fears. You see, people do the oddest things. WeContinue reading “Napkin Rings”

Reflections Before Bedtime #77

By: Gabriela Yareliz I left my house and felt something was different. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, until I reached the intersection, while I was waiting to cross. I wasn’t wearing leggings; that was it! In the winter, leggings become a second skin, if you will. I wear leggings under everything. TheContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #77”

Reflections Before Bedtime #76

In this post, I will be sharing with you some of my favorite shots from my time at home. Family. My gorgeous brothers. Unexpected Florida rains. The secret places that make my heartContinue reading “Floridian Moments”

Friday Glee: February 5, 2016

Hi friends, Today, we explore snowy tragedies, what’s in an age (is it really nothing but a number?), questioning what it means to be really “grown up”, the political scene, breakups, languages, and maybe more– you know, if we get to it. Most of you aren’t from the U.S.; I love looking at my readerContinue reading “Friday Glee: February 5, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #68

By: Gabriela Yareliz Not too long ago, I was looking at photos from a movie premiere Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes had in the 1990s. The fashion was terrible. I think there is a whole BuzzFeed article dedicated to the horrendous fashion. I won’t post a photo from the premiere. You’re welcome, Clare Danes.
