What about your Friends?

“We made a deal ages ago. Men, babies, it doesn’t matter. We’re soul mates.” – Samantha Jones

Sorry guys this one is just for the gals. Women have now found the perfect excuse to go out with the “girls” twice a week. According to science, Women Should Go Out With Girlfriends Twice A Week To Be Healthier. Now if science says it, it must be true. I recently started a twice a month trend with my friends and we are so ready for some cocktails and catch up. We live in Memphis, Tn and we are all African American creatives. There are PLENTY of things to do in Memphis, TN (contrary to belief) and we actually had a hard time figure out which happy hour to hit up. We love well made cocktails, so of course Alchemy, The Peabody, and Onix were on the top of the list. (Check out the links below to these awesome places)

So girls, why is it so important to see your girlfriends not matter how much time has passed or what is going on in your lives? Well, I for one think the it’s healthy because men just don’t understand! They mostly nod and say “For real” in moments when they should react to our drama. It’s so frustrating. I also believe that seeing your friends, especially at their best, motives you financially, career wise, or it could even persuade you to get a new look if your friends are killing it in the fashion department. Also, sometimes your friends are just “not ok” and need to be around you and a crowd. Positive energy is just as contagious as negative energy.

Sometimes texting and social media is just not enough. We should not totally count that as our only form of communication. Or you will end up like a lot friends when life gets in the way of friendship. Not really friends anymore and out of touch. You will never know how much you miss it until you actually do it! That’s why I’m super amped for my best girl friends outing next week. Oh we decided to go to Onix in Midtown on this Wednesday February 26th. They have $5 apps and Martinis plus live music. So EXCITED. Will give you all a nice review. Hopefully the twice a month can turn into every week girls night. Happy cocktails!
