By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, we went from 60F to 39F. It’s literally raining/snowing outside. The weather is wild. My torso is less on fire thanks to a plantain oil tincture I made. This stuff works. March feels so busy, and I haven’t even gotten to the taxes part of the to-do list. My bodyContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 3.12.26”

Questions for February
“If no one told you what to like— what would you actually choose?” Theo Von reading an ad for Pepsi By: Gabriela Yareliz On many mornings, I listen to comedy during my commute. It helps keep the blood pressure low. The morning is always filled with weird things. Today, it was a train with bloodContinue reading “Questions for February”
Closing Out 2025
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s cold and gray out here in NYC. Feels like 12F outside. It’s sick, but this is the price we pay for all seasons. Some slushy mountains of snow remain. The truth is, there are days when I can close my eyes and see the sunset at Cedar Key, salty air hittingContinue reading “Closing Out 2025”
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”
The Machine
“We don’t know how close we are to feeling good.” Dr. Hyman By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever worked so much you started to feel numb? This is a familiar place for me. Familiar but unpleasant. Work sometimes feels like The Machine from The Princess Bride. (I was in The Machine today. More on thatContinue reading “The Machine”
Natural Beauty
By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard Theo Von once describe dating in LA, and he said it was brutal. You have some woman your age who is dating some guy fifteen years older than her— Aerosmith, or something. She just came back from a world tour. All I can offer her is a walk, Theo saidContinue reading “Natural Beauty”
March 2025 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz March was an action-packed month that was done in a blink. Below are some of the things that captured my attention: The book The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom was the book I was deep into. I will finish it now in April. It is a very substance-no-fluff book, justContinue reading “March 2025 Favorites”
February 2025 Recap
By: Gabriela Yareliz We made it to Friday, but also, to the end of February. January lasted 400 years, and February lasted a week. As I write to you, I am gripping an ice cold poll in a subway car reflecting on the month gone by, wearing an oversized WeWoreWhat sweater because I am beyondContinue reading “February 2025 Recap”
Ugly
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to the Antonio Brown and Theo Von podcast episode on This Past Weekend with Theo Von. Theo was talking about how he saw a random recording someone took of him, and they called him ugly. Antonio went on to say that ugly means “swaggy.” “Watch this ugly mf getContinue reading “Ugly”
Amplified
By: Gabriela Yareliz My coach (she has the House of Joy podcast) always says that whatever we focus on amplifies. We should always be trying to amplify joy. I am including here a podcast episode that had me laughing out loud on a delayed train. So if you are in transit, sick at home, atContinue reading “Amplified”
