By: Gabriela Yareliz What was the best part of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026? Seeing women who have gone through so many phases of life looking so fire. To me, the most inspiring moments were the moments with the OG models (the ones we remember from the catalogs when we were growing up) inContinue reading “The VS Fashion Show 2026”

Wisdom from Tracy Tutor
Because sometimes you need to fight like a girl. By: Gabriela Yareliz I enjoyed Tracy Tutor’s Fear is Just a Four-Letter Word. It’s a great book on how to work with difficult people and succeed in difficult situations. I never saw her on reality TV and yet somehow, I landed in her orbit. She isContinue reading “Wisdom from Tracy Tutor”
The Duty for Weary Seasons
By: Gabriela Yareliz I finished reading Tish Harrison Warren’s book on resilience, What Grows in Weary Lands. It is a gem, as all her books are. It had takeaways such as: “But I can wait. I can keep going. The practices of our faith, acts of perseverance and trust that may feel futile, are atContinue reading “The Duty for Weary Seasons”
This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sitting here staring at my bag of baby Jesuses. I need to do better and distribute them. The week went. Maybe it was the PMS, but it was a week of a wide range of emotions. You just feel everything amplified. The joy (petting alpacas) and the rage (people whoContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26”
The Office Writers Finally Wrote a Woman I Like
And her name is Mare Pritti, and she is on Peacock’s The Paper (The Office spinoff with Oscar Martinez). By: Gabriela Yareliz I have waxed poetic on how the flaw of The Office is there are no women to be admired. The ones that had purpose and intelligence— they ruined. Jan goes insane. Holly isContinue reading “The Office Writers Finally Wrote a Woman I Like”
This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway. Yesterday, I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, sorted through cans and refreshed extermination tools. I am satisfied with what I accomplished this week. This week, we lost many people, including the legendaryContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26”
The Games Men Play
By: Gabriela Yareliz The news coming out of Ceuta, Spain is disturbing and eerily similar to scenes the U.S. border experienced in the past presidential administration. Borders overrun— and not by women and children or even families— no, by military age men. I have seen videos of local women crying and displaying an emotion thatContinue reading “The Games Men Play”
Melior De Cinere Surgo
By: Gabriela Yareliz Palm Royale gives us interesting and known tidbits of what it was like to be a woman in the late 60s and early 70s. Nixon, feminists, old money, Vietnam and headscarves. Season 1 ended (spoiler alert!) with Maxine finding out her husband cheated on her and is having a child with herContinue reading “Melior De Cinere Surgo”
This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)
“April, the angel of the months.” Vita Sackville-West By: Gabriela Yareliz Thank God March is over. That is all I can say. March was a month that felt a lot like drowning. It’s another day in another week, but when we start a new month, I picture a hand turning a page into a nextContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)”
Wandering Wonderland
“We don’t always get to choose the season.But we do get to choose how we live inside it. We get to believe that God loves us, is for us and with us in all of it.” Dr. Edie Wadsworth By: Gabriela Yareliz Wonderland was a strange place where absurdities abound, much like life. Planning hasContinue reading “Wandering Wonderland”
