The Setup

“Chronic stress management is not optional — it is hormonal maintenance.” Rich Girl Academy By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading a piece on declining fertility the other day, and it made a point to highlight that hormonal imbalances in women today don’t just belong to the woman in the present, but we are set upContinue reading “The Setup”

This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26

I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”

This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”

No Skipping

“People skip the parts of themselves they’re not ready to face. They avoid the very things that, once they’re willing to face them, open the door to profound growth.

Bloody Hell

By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt a rush go through my entire body, and then, a knot surged in my throat. I was walking to a training at a law firm in The New York Times building (yes, that New York Times), and I was scurrying toward the building from the train. I was excited aboutContinue reading “Bloody Hell”

Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More

By: Gabriela Yareliz I found a magic rice. It cooks in six minutes. I don’t know what that sorcery is. I looked for it again this week like it was a sack of magic legumes and didn’t find it. I am on the hunt for Brad’s Organic Basmati Rice. (After years of feeling pure antipathyContinue reading “Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More”
