High or Low Maintenance?

[ Edited ]

Which one are you?  Woman Happy  I am very low maintenance these days!   I like to keep things simple in every aspect when possible. Woman Very Happy

 

I hardly ever wear nail polish anymore. Makeup is minimal, usually no mascara anymore.  Do wear some eye liner at times. 

 

Clothes are simple and wear the same things year round. I dont have a different wardrobe for each season.  Minimal jewlery. I was never really into much jewelry.

 

I like to make simple meals too.Woman Happy  I dont buy things I dont need and my home is simple and not filled with things.

 

Back in the day lol I was probably considered high maintenance.  Woman Happy

High on a lot of things; low on some.  I'm usually one extreme or the other.

Probably on the high side...I just have to do my hair and makeup whenever I go out.

Re: High or Low Maintenance?

Back in the day I would call myself high maintenance. I was very into designer this and designer that. Now, I saw through the silliness of Madison Ave advertising and am very low maintenance. It brings a lot of peace to my life and I learned an invaluable lesson......"things" don't bring happiness.

I average out in the middle.

Hubby thinks Im high maintenance but I think I am medium because I do wear makeup when we go out or to church.  I have a pedi because I cant see my toes well enough to cut them on my own and I wear nails because my own fingernails split, peal and break easy since I have gotten older.

High maintenance and proud of it.  Of course, I am assuming that high maintenance just means that I like to look my best and I like to dress well and smell good and I put some effort into it.  I've never been one of those women who only cares about being "neat, clean and presentable".  I suppose that's low maintence but I'm also not one of those women spends hours getting dressed and made up and obssesses over it.  I suppose I am actually medium maintenance.  I work hard and I've arrived at time in my life when I can decorate our home the way I want; no kids, no dogs, no cats, no guinea pigs.  I can have the colors and decorator pieces I couldn't have before we became empty nesters.  There's no right or wrong to this stuff.

Re: High or Low Maintenance?

Just because I'm aging surely doesn't mean I should give up!! I love to dress up, wear makeup, have a chic hairdo, etc. I won't leave the house unless I'm wearing makeup.
