Sassa Jimenez — 30 Qs We Ask Thriving Women
A guide to keep you sane and street smart
To be in your 30s today is unsettling. The time is supposed to be promising as you know yourself better, and hopefully, you've made a few mistakes in your 20s. Your 30s are supposed to be a time for the right decisions. You leave your youth's bad decisions and navigate life by choosing a career, a home, a partner, passions, routines, and etcetera.
What happens when your choices are limited, and you are not as free to move as before? For some, the options are slim pickings and impractical. And for everyone, there could be dangers to one's health.
Thirsty and Thirty has always revolved around confusion, no judgment, and trying to understand better. So, every Sunday, starting today, we'll be sharing interviews with thriving women to see if they could offer us some words to keep us all sane right now. At the end of this, we'll give you a few practical tips you can apply to your relationships.
Our first interview is with Sassa Jimenez, a fashion designer in her 30s. She finds freedom and humor to be the sexiest attributes. Here's what we learned talking to her:
There is no such thing as too successful.
Baking is a therapeutic form of release. Take it up as an activity for any life or sexual frustration.
The ultimate pro to being single is having the headspace to get to know yourself.
Sometimes, being naive and full of energy can give you the momentum you need for your career.
We all have dealbreakers. Sometimes, we meet someone that can change our rules.
Being indecisive is the worst thing you can do for your career and life. Decide and stick with it. Work harder than everyone else.
Moisturize your skin!
Get to know people to get a different perspective.
If you experience roadblocks, find ways to experience joy.
Love is the stamina to keep going.
Sassa was also the inspiration of our last week's topic. She said that she found her humor to be the sexiest thing about her. Yet, not a lot of men find funny women attractive. People have conducted experiments as absurd as it may sound.
Is there some truth to it? Please tell us.
We tried to debunk it between comedians and friends. Yet, I still think we're unsure of the argument. Here's what came out of it– humor can go a long way. Here are three practical ways to use humor in your relationships:
Easing tension: When you end up in an argument with a partner, you can always humor to make light of the room.
Cheering up someone: Sabina mentioned in the show that when she's down, she would like someone to cheer her up with a teasing compliment.
Match the kind of humor naturally: If you prefer the dirty style, yet he wants darker humor, someone needs to adjust.

The standard advice is to pray for a husband or offer eggs to the church to become fertile. We're not sure if it's true. So, we'll have to ask a couple, such as Chessie and James.
