I'll be me. You be you.

Each month Cosmo has a list of 15 (more or less) of things you shouldn’t apologize for…This April article has been one of my favorites.

15 Things You Should Never Apologize For…

1. Ordering a Real Dessert! You don’t work your ass off on the stair-climber just to settle for pansy low-cal sorbet.
2. Someone Else’s Bad Day! A friend snaps at you and you’re expected to say sorry? Exactly where is the logic in that?
3. Ditching a Bad Lover! Look, sex is important. If you’ve given him a fair shot at pleasing you, free the man.
4. Having a Crazy Family! Give your guy a heads-up about them, but never insinuate that their problems taint you.
5. Buying into Your Horoscope! Like news blogs, it helps you see the world a bit differently.
6. Really Wanting a Boyfriend! It’s taboo for strong woman to admit this, but so is not going after what you truly desire.
7. Being a Self-promoter! Trumpet a career coup in your facebook status, ‘cause there’s no glory in tiptoeing to the top.
8. Investing in Your Looks! It’s about feeling confident, not about doing yourself up to land a man. And it makes facials, the gym and hot LBD worth every cent.
9. Having a High ‘Number’! Let’s quit the slut shaming and start honoring those bed skills that curl your man’s toes.
10. Changing Your Mind! Call it a religious conversation, not a silly phase.
11. Being Inexperienced! That doesn’t mean you lack great ideas. So stop prefacing them with ‘this is dumb, but…’
12. Hoping Your Children Will be Cuter Than Your Friends’! Honestly, your pals are hoping the same thing.
13. Sticking to a Budget! If your pal doesn’t get that you can’t afford to fly to her bachelorette party, wedding, and there showers, you’re not the greedy one.
14. Only Doing Things Online That You’d Do in Real Life! Doesn’t matter if winking is a dating-site norm. It’s as lazy and cheesy as spray-can cheddar.
15. Being Happy! Times suck, you get it. But you love your job & have found the one. Relish it while it’s yours!
