HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

Go head, tell them what you think. Just be nice about it. 

It's true! Honesty really is the best policy according to new research from the University of California San Diego's Emotion Lab. An article about the research in Spry Living magazine reported that the researchers found that "prosocial" lies - the little lies we tell others in order to not hurt their feelings - makes us feel good in the moment, but guilty later.

The reason behind this reaction is actually very sweet: We tend to lie to people we care about. The researchers advise people to try "gentle honesty" instead. So, for example, when a friend or family member asks you if you like their new hair style, and you hate it, say something along the lines of, "I'm partial to when you wear it longer," or whatever the case may be. The main thing is to be honest because you want the other person to trust you, but don't be be harsh or blunt.
