I have that new Beyonce and Shakira song on repeat these days! But aside from the hot beat, it got me thinking about real life beautiful liars. You know, those guys who are so smooth and charming that they can sell sand to the beach?

My ex was definitely a beautiful liar and I had to let that go quickly because I cherish the truth too much – even if it’s something I don’t want to hear. Why is it that men will embellish the truth so nonchalantly just to avoid hitting an awkward conversation? And why do we as young women – often lacking the life experience to help us know better – let love blind us?
