THIS POST HAS A SOUNDTRACK. (I know it can be annoying to press play, and then scroll back up to stop the song when it’s time for the next one, but indulge me). 1] Do me a favor and click play on this, so it plays while you read: By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome to NewContinue reading “West Village Girl; living in her Greenwich Village world”

Spring & Break
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy semana santa! It’s the week leading up to Easter. It’s also our only break in the semester. It’s more of a reading week, since exams are days away. It’s a time of reflection, much studying and blessing. It’s a time usually filled with family, pastel colored dresses, chocolate, renewal and life.Continue reading “Spring & Break”
All About Your Heart
By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought I would actually write something; a short note perhaps. The semester is ending. Time is just running like sand between our fingers. It feels like we are on a car that is on fire heading toward a finish line that is actually made of caution tape. Life has been veryContinue reading “All About Your Heart”

I was there from the very beginning when they first began coloring, and DJ Ricky was setting up while the dancers practiced. It was aContinue reading “Holi Hai! NYC Bhangra”
Cocktail Spring/ Summer inspiration
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am totally ready for the warmer seasons and sunshine. I am tired of dark colors, wearing more than one layer of clothes. I am ready for a softer look, where makeup doesn’t play such a big role to hide pale skin. Current inspiration: Diana Penty; she is known for her roleContinue reading “Cocktail Spring/ Summer inspiration”
Week survival
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week was absolutely insane. When I mean insane, I mean: finishing an oral argument at 10 p.m. at school (but thank God, owning it), that night having to read two briefs and an oral argument, 95 pages each (and it had to be that night thanks to the professor sending usContinue reading “Week survival”
End of the week breather
By: Gabriela Yareliz When your eye starts twitching and you feel stressed to the point where your shoulders hurt. Take a deep breath. Spring is around the corner, and God is ever near. His way is perfect, and you are in His hands.
