BEING A TOURIST IN MY CITY: PART II

Posted on September 13, 2019

Happy Friday y’all! If you’re an OG member of the With Love, Thelms family then Being A Tourist In My City should sound pretty familiar. Last year around this time, I advocated for us babes to periodically become tourists in our own cities. Missed it? Catch up here.

In the blog post, I went on to chat about the benefits that come with exploring the city you’re from and how impactful doing so can be. To some it may sound silly because — How wouldn’t you know the ins and outs of a city you were born and raised in? But y’all it is possible. It is more than possible to experience a city in varying ways depending on the point you happen to be at in life. For example. It isn’t safe or realistic to assume that the way we saw our hometowns as a child/pre-adolescent will be the same way we see it as an adult.  Continue Reading

SHOOT DAY: BEHIND THE SCENES

Posted on September 6, 2019
behind the scenes

LOL. Can we talk about the image for today’s post for just a second? It can’t scream behind the scenes more than it already does because the above image was me just last week. Here’s the backstory: Last week as I struggled to do up my pants in the car for shoot day with my photographer, a few thoughts came to mind. The first being that I really needed to look into cars with more backseat leg room because wow. Trying to slide on jeans or much of anything in a car is hard af. The second thought? The behind the scenes aspect of shoot day is pretty tough at times. Continue Reading

You plan on drinking till your tummy or your friends say no more and it’s clear you’ve had enough.

WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN RELATIONSHIP GOALS ANYMORE

Posted on August 14, 2019
relationship goals

If you asked me a month ago about what couples were relationship goals, whew. I’d have listed off too many. Though these days I’m singing a totally different tune when it comes to relationships. They’re just never what they seem to be y’all. I think I’ve always known that, but I became more sure of that recently. There are so many things left to the imagination. I’m talking things you will never know about someone else’s life with another person. Things you aren’t meant to know to be honest. So to pit your own relationship or the one you hope to have on the basis of another is honestly a bit wild and mostly unrealistic.

How can you desire a relationship that you have no idea the ins and outs of..? How can someone else’s relationship be your relationship goals? Continue Reading

BOUNDARIES YOUR MAN’S EX WOMAN SHOULD RESPECT

Posted on July 26, 2019

I can’t believe I have to write a post about this, about boundaries. But y’all we are in an era where the exes are just not getting it and because of that the demise of relationships are happening everywhere. I can’t even begin to explain to you all how many times I have seen an ex step out of her lane. Thinking that it’s appropriate to do certain things or behave a certain way when communicating with her former man, who is now your (my) man. If it’s not a text message saying “wyd” past 7pm, it’s a “Good morning” text before the sun rises. Neither of them being okay to send to a man who is with someone else. Don’t they get it? Their former man is taken. He is with someone else now and y’all are happy. Thriving in a way that doesn’t welcome distraction, disrespect, or other people. Exes included.

So without further ado, lets jump straight into things shall we? Today’s post is for the boundaries your man’s ex woman should respect. Hell needs to respect if we’re getting literal.  Continue Reading
