I remember copies of Cosmopolitan magazine lying around the house when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure my mom didn’t buy them. I remember picking them up and being fascinated with the articles about fashion and makeup, and being quite confused about the ones on sex and relationships.
Little did I realize that I would someday be writing for Cosmo.ph!
