BEING A TOURIST IN MY CITY: PART II

tourist

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

VISITED: LOCH BAR

Happy Monday you guys! You’re either one of two people on this Monday morning. The person fired up to get to the business and get things done. Or you’re the person still daydreaming about the weekend. Where are you at this morning? If you’re wondering what category I fall in, I’m definitely the latter. I am 100% dreaming about the weekend… still. After trying out Loch Bar, a restaurant in the River Oaks area for the first time and enjoying myself to no end just yesterday… can you really blame me?

PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE

GIVE ME MY PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE.

Today’s post is nothing short of a PSA because I’m tired y’all. Tired of going to the grocery store and the lady behind me is all in my backside. So very tired of being at the mall (a place with so much room) and practically going toe to toe with a total stranger insistent on walking so close to me. I’m frankly exhausted by a portion of society’s lack of understanding when it comes to personal space. So much so that I feel like we need to talk babes. There are a few things we have got to iron out when it comes to personal space. Continue Reading

TEXT MESSAGES MEN ABSOLUTELY HATE RECEIVING

text messages

Have you ever felt like text messages and texting someone you’re interested in is a lot like playing chess with Bobby Fisher (American chess grandmaster)? The funny thing about texting is that men always get the bad rep. They’re always considered the horrible texters. I can’t tell you how many times my girlfriends and I have roasted a guy for his lack of texting abilities. Like seriously, why would he even text that? Us ladies are so damn quick to shit talk guys when it comes to texting, but what about us? Couldn’t the same be said about us women? The answer is yes, it absolutely could. So keep reading as I explore the opinions I received from a multitude of guys I polled as I share text messages men absolutely hate receiving.

WHY WOMEN VALUE INTIMACY SO MUCH

intimacy

Intimacy means so many different things to so many different people. However to women, I find that we all view it the exact same way. It’s something that we believe should be cherished and kept close, only reserved for the people we love. The people that we find deserving of the intimacy we as women possess. It stands to reason then, why it can be so irritating when the significant others in our lives don’t value or understand something we hold so close. In light of that, keep reading as I explore a few things: Why women value intimacy so much (for my male readers), What intimacy means to us females (for my babes), and how knowledge of both can create magic in your current or next relationship.  Continue Reading
