In fact, I\u2019d recommend it. Whether it\u2019s a minor mix-up or serious slip there\u2019s nothing wrong with making a few mistakes. Here are 10 things you should stop beating yourself up over:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"center\">1. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to date Mr. Wrong<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, he\u2019ll break your heart and yes, you\u2019ll waste far too many tears on him but you\u2019ve gotta kiss a few frogs before you find Mr Right.<\/p>\n<h2>2. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to have worn Dream Matte Mousse foundation and blue eyeshadow<\/h2>\n<p>We ALL did it at some point. And you know what? It\u2019s perfectly fine! How else are you meant to find your signature make-up without a few faux-pas?<\/p>\n<h2>3. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to get drunk, cry and cry some more when you\u2019re hungover<\/h2>\n<p>It happens to the best of us. And while it ain\u2019t pretty \u2013 and you certainly won\u2019t thank yourself in the morning \u2013 it\u2019s not the end of the world to have the world\u2019s worst night out.<\/p>\n<h2>4. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 cut your hair during an existential crisis<\/h2>\n<p>That pixie crop you\u2019ve seen so many A-listers rocking? The PERFECT time to try it out is when you\u2019re feeling lost. Um not so much. But hey, it\u2019s just hair. And guess what? It grows back!<\/p>\n<h2>5. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 walk away when things don\u2019t work out<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s leaving a comfortable relationship or walking out of a mediocre job, it\u2019s not a mistake to walk away when something isn\u2019t making you happy anymore.<\/p>\n<h2>6. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to spend your money rather than saving<\/h2>\n<p>It might not feel like it when you\u2019re skint and penny-pinching \u2018till payday, but experiences will make you richer than saving for a rainy day. Squirrel away some money, but make sure you\u2019re living!<\/p>\n<h2>7. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 mess up at work (and cry in the toilets)<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a heart-stopping, sinking-feeling-in-your-stomach moment when something goes horribly wrong at work. If you don\u2019t mess up, how are you supposed to learn and prevent the same mistake next time?<\/p>\n<h2>8. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to hang out with the wrong crowd<\/h2>\n<p>Look back on some friendships and wish you\u2019d never got involved? Don\u2019t! Bad friendships help shape you, and without bad friends how can you make the best ones?<\/p>\n<h2>9. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to embarrass yourself<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s tripping over in front of a hot guy, saying the wrong thing in a meeting, or having your skirt tucked into your pants, embarrassment happens to the best of us. And you can laugh about it later when the redness has died down.<\/p>\n<h2>10. It\u2019s A-OK\u2026 to follow fad fashions (and cringe in years to come)<\/h2>\n<p>Fashion is meant to be fun, and every once in a while it\u2019s good to make a massive fashion mistake. If nothing else so you can laugh at the photos in a few years!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><b>Image credit:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefix.boohoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/writing?photo=fVUl6kzIvLg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"extLink\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Clare Evans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[123],"tags":[2382,3108,1269],"class_list":["post-609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-us-2","tag-a-ok","tag-life-us","tag-mistakes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>10 Mistakes That Are A-OK To Make<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"by Clare Evans Contrary to popular belief, it\u2019s okay to make a mistake every now and again.
