No Small Act

By: Gabriela Yareliz I went from listening to a podcast about Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper (I don’t know these people, but it’s all people can talk about) to Oprah talking about the Hoffman Process (I landed there after the heartwarming Emma Grede podcast). I was walking from an appointment, and the sun was showeringContinue reading “No Small Act”

Hello Sunshine My Old Friend

By: Gabriela Yareliz The local ABC channel was tracking our sunless day streak in NYC. Ten days without a ray of sunshine. My neighborhood was pure darkness. If I didn’t turn on the light, I couldn’t see what was in front of me. I took a walk yesterday in pouring rain. It looked like lateContinue reading “Hello Sunshine My Old Friend”

Hope Against Hope

“Does the acorn dream of the oak?

If you’ve never tried it, I would encourage you to try— even if just for curiosity’sContinue reading “Studio Update 14”

San Antonio Adventures, Pt. 2

By: Gabriela Yareliz Visiting the Alamo was memorable. This property is absolutely gorgeous. Old world charm. Luis’ profile. My favorite kind of selfie. This Mexican folk art boutique was exquisite. Meet me by the river! Thank you, San Antonio. You were clean, friendly, gorgeous and a perfect summer adventure.

New York: Brooklyn beaches

By: Gabriela Yareliz Yes, a new addition to my New York series. As summer has come to a close, I went with my Russian dolls to the Manhattan beach (ironically in Brooklyn), we ate at Nargis, an Uzbek place in Brooklyn with an amazing Avocado salad, and then we hit up the fruit market, BrightonContinue reading “New York: Brooklyn beaches”

One down–three to go.

By: Gabriela Yareliz Finished my Constitutional Law I exam. Thank God! Three more to go. I want to go outside, but my contract outline is saying: I saw the following, and thought it was legit: I know: ‘Criticism’ is spelled wrong, but I didn’t make it. Enjoy the sunshine!!! Con law (check). Done.
