This Week’s Favorites 06.06.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome June! I decided to start the summer with a trip to refresh Sephora favorites and a fake tan I forgot to wash off (true story). Why do people on 90s tv shows have breakfast with friends? Who has this kind of time other than the leadership at work who doesn’t showContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.06.26”

This Week’s Favorites 05.21.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s our first week back home after some time away, and we are on the verge of summer. It’s so close you can taste it. Summer fridays just around the corner, even though we had hail yesterday. I have this itch to clean. To work out. To plan. To be tan. ThisContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 05.21.26”

August

By: Gabriela Yareliz August. A time of transition. The true end and beginning of the year. This time always makes me think of wooden pencils, corduroy, and lined paper with the little holes. I saw somewhere that this autumn is expected to be cooler than most in NYC. August, while still officially summer, blurs intoContinue reading “August”

June 2022 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz A new month begins. June was filled with really magical and fun moments. There were victories, excitement, and stress. It was sort of a harvest month. There are months when we cultivate and months when we reap the result of serious efforts and grace. I read some incredible books on entertaining, startedContinue reading “June 2022 Favorites”

Summer Inspiration

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s summertime. (Well, almost). The weather feels like it, and school in the South is officially out. What has happened since we last met? I mean, Johnny Depp rightfully won his trial. Shakira and Pique are splitting. The news is in its typical tailspin, and gas and food prices keep going up.Continue reading “Summer Inspiration”

A Letter to Louisiana

By: Gabriela Yareliz The waters will recede and return home. You’ll be home, too. The sunshine will peek out and warm the flaky paint skin on the old buildings. It will soak up the heavy rains like a mother cleaning up a wound. Its hot rays a bright Band-Aid. You’ll sit on your porch againContinue reading “A Letter to Louisiana”

Running Through the Sprinklers

By: Gabriela Yareliz Summer. I remember the hot Michigan and Charleston summers. You could find me on my couch eating a frozen Go-Gurt tube, the buttery soft frozen yogurt melting in my mouth, while deep in my reading list. I was always determined to be top in the summer reading program. Back in the day,Continue reading “Running Through the Sprinklers”

An Uncomfortable Topic

By: Gabriela Yareliz A scene keeps playing over and over again, in my head. Summer of 2009, I visited France and did a stage with the French government. We were living in a small French mariner village. I gathered with young people from around the world (whom I love— friends for life), and what weContinue reading “An Uncomfortable Topic”

Studio Update 25

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am up like a kid, under the covers while the space heater hums in the background, waiting to get in trouble because I should be asleep. There is no one to berate me. My apartment still has a coolness to it from having the window open all day. Yesterday’s rain remindedContinue reading “Studio Update 25”
