I would like to think that I am a low maintenance person. I'm not one of those girls who needs a 2 hour advance notice to go somewhere because she needs that much time to get ready. And when we're having a girls night out, I'm usually the first one done. I only wear makeup to work just to look professional and even then, I wear a minimal amount of it (usually just primer, mineral foundation and sometimes lip gloss). I'll also wear makeup on very special occassions. On a typical day, my max prep time is usually 30 minutes (a lot of that time is spent looking for something to wear).
This may sound gross but in elementary and high school, I used to go to sleep in the same outfit that I was going to wear to school the next day because I wanted to get the maximum amount of sleep possible. I started working right when I turned 16 so sleep was very important to me at that time. It used to boggle my mind in high school when I hear about girls who would wake up at 4 in the morning just so they can have enough time to get ready for school. WTF?! Conceited much? So yeah. I'm pretty low maintenance.
I want to attribute my low maintenance attitude to the fact that I just don't care about what people think of me. But then I would be lying. I'm low maintenance because I'm lazy. I'm just too lazy to take the time to try look good. I've gotten so lazy that I'll actually spend money just so I can be even lazier.
I have gotten procedures like Lasik for my eyes so I wouldn't have to wear glasses or contacts, to laser hair removal so that I wouldn't have to shave every day. These procedures cost money but I am willing to pay it because they make my life easier. It's one less thing I have to do every day. So you see, even though I'm generally low maintenance, it's in a high maintenance kind of way because I'm willing to spend the money if it saves me time.
