Today, April 30, is apparently National Honesty Day. I guess I could tell you guys the importance of honesty and all that (and it is important), but let’s be real for a sec: a lot of the times we find ourselves lying in one way or another. And while I don’t normally advocate lying, I do know that there are definitely some moments when it’s totally okay to lie.
Of course, there are a lot of times you shouldn’t be lying – spreading lies about another person is a big no-no and I generally advise against lying to your significant other. But, like I said, lying happens. And isn’t it better to know when it’s okay to do it and when it’s not okay? Check out these 10 things you can lie about like it’s no big deal:
How Many People You've Slept With
No matter who asks, you never have to tell anyone how many people you've had sex with. That's your business! If you want to share, that's totally fine, but if it's something you want to keep to yourself, that's fine also. Source: ShutterStockHow Far You've Gone
You also don't need to spill on how far you've gone when it comes to hooking up. Yes, if you're a virgin, it's polite to let a dude know that before anything happens, but you don't have to. If you're not comfortable telling people what you've done in the bedroom, keep it to yourself. It's your business and no one else's.

Here is where the power of a little white lie comes in handy. Maybe your BFF just bought a brand new sweater she's in love with, but you think it's totally ugly. If she asks what you think, you shouldn't tell her how much you hate it - instead, just smile and lie and tell her it's cool. There's no reason to hurt her feelings just because it's not something you're into. Source: ShutterStockThe Truth About Your Most Embarrassing Moments
Oh, so it was you who accidentally peed her pants in gym class the other day? Don't worry, you don't have to come clean to anyone, no matter who's talking about it. Keep those embarrassing moments to yourself if they make you cringe just thinking about them. Source: ShutterStockHow Much Makeup You Wear
No one needs to know how much makeup is really on your face. If you want to wear a ton of makeup, go for it, girl! You don't need to fill everyone in on your complicated facial routine when they ask how your skin looks so perfect. Source; ShutterStock>How Often You Facebook Stalk
No one needs to know that you take a peek at your ex-boyfriend's Facebook every day. Or that you constantly check up on your new boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. Or that you already know everything about your BFF's other BFF before you even met her. Source: ShutterStockWhen You Don't Feel Like Doing Something
If a friend asks you to hang out, but you don't feel like it and you don't want to hurt her feelings, it's totally fine to lie and make up an excuse. Just say you've got plans with your mom already. There's no point in hurting her for no reason. Source: ShutterStockThat It Was You Who Farted
What's that smell? That's right girl, just keep playing dumb. No one really needs to know where it came from, right? Source: ShutterStockHow Much Money You Spent On Something
Maybe you got a sweet deal on a super expensive purse, but you don't want everyone to know that. Or maybe you just spent a ton of money on shoes and you don't want your boyfriend to think you're materialistic. If you're spending your money, it's your business. It's really rude of someone to ask how much something costs - and you definitely don't need to tell them the truth. Source: ShutterStockThat You're Not Really Over Your Ex
If it's been a whole year since you guys broke up but you're still not 100 percent over him, you can keep that to yourself - you don't need to tell anyone if you feel embarrassed about it. Just don't lie to a current partner about being over your ex... only to nosy people. Source: ShutterStockDo you lie about any of these things? What else do you think it’s okay to lie about?

The first two (and a few others) are things you definitely don’t have to tell people. But that doesn’t mean you have to lie, just say WHT you do with your body is your business. Lying is making the other person believe something is true, so to the nosy person asking you just gave in.
