real simple

read this article in August's issue of Real Simple and thought this was well put and a great reminder.


5 things you should never lie about


1.) your work history
well yeah. its okay if ice cream scooper becomes food customer service representative but don't say you majored in finance when it really was spanish.

 
2.) your health
yes. your default answer to "how are you?" is "fine". It's important to have a support system of your friends and families so next time, its alright to say, "It could be better. I'm going through a rough time right now."

3.) your free time
it's okay to set boundaries. if you don't want to do something, don't say you don't have time if you really do. They will be annoyed that you had time to make it to the gym four times that week, but not to volunteer. the same goes the opposite. it's okay to say, "no." "No" is a full sentence. :)

4.) your guilty pleasures
"I read celebrity magazines and enjoy store bought cookies frosted in colors not found in nature." love this line from the magazine. "with these kind of admissions, we can have deeper conversations about the things that really matter." -patty digh

5.) your struggles
"in this age of pinterest worthy toddler birthday parties and curated Facebook news feeds, we are trained to show others only our best sides. So I was genuinely shocked when a close friend admitted her marriage was in trouble. Listening to her speak candidly-and not try to sugar coat what was happening-pushed me to take a more honest look at my own relationship. Soon after that, my husband and I began counseling. If for no other reason, sharing your failures allows others to learn from your mistakes." -Robin O'Bryant

have a good weekend everyone, i am off to enjoy some cookies frosted in colors not found in nature :) mmmmmm, my guilty pleasure ;)
