Even if I buy high maintainance jewelry it's so uncomfortable to wear it all the time

I’ve never had that problem in my culture we were waist beads and the same type of beads on our bracelets and we never take them off

What kind of jewelry are you getting that's so uncomfortable? Maybe try switching to a simpler classic Tiffany bracelet and wear only that? That's what I do I just wear my engagement ring and a Tiffany bracelet. And I'll go through phases where all wear a necklace all the time but it has to be a short chain or it will cause problems when you're doing your hair or sleeping

Holy crap there's people out there just like me. I used to spend about an hour to an hour and a 1/2 on getting ready and makeup everyday. When I was doing this I never did any outside beauty treatments. Then I decided that I wanted to start doing these outside beauty treatments. I get hair extensions, nails/pedicure, lip and cheek filler, eyebrow microblading, lash extensions, tan, waxing and or hair laser, lip blushing, I'm sure there's a few others I'm forgetting. Once I started doing all this I barely wear makeup. There's actually some days that I leave the house without makeup and I would have never done that before. Not only that the time it takes me to get ready now is down to maybe 15 minutes. Doing all these extra beauty treatments really does make the difference.

I used to get lash lifts and lash tints because I have naturally dark hair and blonde eyelashes. The third time I got a tent and lift my eyes burned for 3 hours and I couldn't leave the salon because my site was blurry They had to douse me and eye drops and told me sometimes they experiment with different levels of perm and tent and if they accidentally get it in your eye it can mess your eyes up. I just want to give a PSA because no one ever told me that until I was crying in the salon thinking I was going to be blind. They told me that lash extensions don't have the potentially blinding effects that the lift perm does so just a PSA to anyone who is thinking about it you can get natural looking fake lashes you just have to tell them you don't want them as long, full, etc.

[@LoryBelle]

Married people do it all the time, and beyond that so many other people have a necklace/bracelet/rings/earrings they never ever ever take off. I will say, it’s hard for everyone who doesn’t wear jewelry when they first get engaged or married to get used to wearing their wedding bands, or engagement ring. It was super weird for me to get used to wearing my engagement ring and I would fiddle with it all the time, my husband gave me a hard time about it cause there’s a silly myth (that neither of us truly believe in) that messing with your ring is a sign you’re not confident in the relationship. He gave me a hard time cause he lives for giving me a hard time, but we’re both very sensory people (adhd & likely on the spectrum) so we’re both prone to fidgeting. Unsurprisingly, when we got married and he finally started wearing a ring too - he had an even harder time getting used to it than I did and messed with it nonstop!! I gave him a super hard time about it, obviously. Payback, yknow? But yeah, it’s funny because the exact reason it was difficult to get used to is the EXACT reason it’s difficult now if we don’t have our rings on. Sometimes I take my rings off to clean them, let them soak in soapy water while I’m in the shower, and if I forget to put them back on it’s like there’s no balance in the universe, it bothers me SO MUCH to have no rings on. My husband is the same way, but he doesn’t think to clean his I have to pry it off him to clean it every so often lol.

It helps them not have to worry about putting in roller sets or pin curls since they don't have the same dexterity or hand coordination as they did 60 yrs ago 💖 So they can just dampen the hair and brush/comb through it and it has the same styling effect as using curlers. It also gives volume and body to the hair. Some people's hair doesn't take well to chemical curling or straightening solutions, so make sure you test strand it.

Sad to hear this. I hope your daughter gets better soon. When loved ones need attention we often give our all without sparing a bit for ourselves. It's normal and I'm sure you're doing a great job! I can share a tip I always use for my hair. I comb, brush it down with some leave in conditioner, light moisturizer and dry oil of choice (my hair is quite straight), then put in a low ponytail. I then make sure to tie it down tightly with a silk or satin scarf (you can use any material except cotton). I do all the errands, household chores and sleep with the scarf on and only take it off when I'm leaving the house (Use a shower cap in the shower). Your hair stays neat and flat without you having to deal with it for a number of days. I have pushed for a week with this before washing. Since it's covered, no dirt gets on it nor meesy dry bed head from the pillow. Hope it helps! Good Luck!

Also helps if you have more matured skin that doesn’t breakout, a skinny face and body and hair that is manageable. If people who didn’t look like her did the things she did they’d still have to worry about messy hair, body hair (East Asians have less hair or less visible hair), blemishes and hyperpigmentation and also jewellery is so incredibly uncomfortable to wear constantly and if you wear it long enough, unless it’s pure gold, silver, platinum or titanium, it’s turning green

[@katgreer6113]

No to the jewelry one but yeah. Going to the dermatologist also helps with your skin if you have the money for it.😪

[@thejava.witchiswhispering]

I need someone to teach me how to exist this way, so that I can raise my daughter to exist this way. I grew up to a mom who was low maintenance to be low maintenance lol

[@throbbingleg1555]

me too dear. but as they are saying do it. budget well and do all.

[@Ichigo-dh9rd]

Take notes from the comment section, earn money and go for it. I just got a lip blush (thanks to the comments) and it's a game changer. For the first time I felt confident enough to take off my mask lol

[@mayararibeiro6988]

This is soooo me! -I get my hair cut and straightened in a saloon every two months so I wake up ready everyday -I get gel on my nails so I jist have to do them like once a month -I have microblading so I dont have to worry about my eyebrown at all -I have lasered everything so I dont worry about shaving or whatever -I invest in really good skin care so when I want to look nice my skin is already prep and O can wear little make up

[@Emily-df9dk]

I only ever file my nails, never clip. I swear it makes them stronger and beautiful

[@estefanialondono7167]

I am so lazy, I dont do make up altogether hahaha

[@where_is_my_money_now]

I'm high maintenance in my skin care but I don't buy make up or I won't need to go to the Derma for treatments. I buy expensive clothes for the quality of fabric, but most of them literally lasted me more than a decade. My oldest piece is from my mom from 2 decades ago that I still wear on formal occasions mixing it with different tops 😂 Same with shoes coz other than comfort, the cheaper ones gets worn out easily. I usually buy gold for jewelry coz they look good with almost anything, the cheaper ones I bought already tarnished.

[@sallyperrie3007]

Yes. The better your skin and hair the easier it is for you to look great

[@hurricanejaney]

i never wear makeup at work because i sweat a lot and it’ll just get smeared/sink into my pores, and i also usually wear my hair in a protective spiral bun with a scrunchie. my skin has never looked better and my hair is curled when i take it down 👍 laziness ftw

[@Mary.G.]

Please do a video about jewelry 🙌🏼

[@eagelskater]

Only place I want to be high maintenance is with my hair and skin care because I've never had the money to do those things correctly. My fiance will also have to sit through me doing the care on him too. He has a big beard and I love it so I want it to be healthy so it doesn't cause him skin issues or discomfort because he's had to shave it off a few times because he couldn't keep up with it but he likes it too so I'll just do it after we get married. He lives far away only reason I'm not doing it right now. If I get to pamper myself then he's along for the ride too because he needs tlc too.

[@opotatoqopotato467]

I totally understand this but on a smaller scale… it’s just being prepared and lightening your workload in simple ways

[@r_.rileeyyy1588]

Such BEAUTIFUL skin I'm actually amazed. It looks like freshly risen dough wtf 🤤

[@sirenwantsbodilyautonomy]

I thought I was the only one who never took off jewelry😂😂 good to know there are others lmfao

[@ellianaleah9512]

EXACTLY. All my jewelry is on me 100% of the time. I literally work so I can pay for my jamba juice addiction 😩

[@tiamelancholyjeoncockity]

Me, I literally have the same bracelets, necklaces, and earrings on for years and never once take it off unless I want to change to a new one or a piece falls off or breaks.

[@elid2975]

I do the exact same thing with the jewelry 😭

[@asmanc21]

Can you also do ur jewelry collection videos version.?

[@EmmaMendez]

I work with expensive jewellery and still recommend that you do not shower with jewellery or clean. Clasps can loosen, general tarnishing etc

[@salambo6512]

Lash lifts are so amazing

[@coalminersgranddaughter]

I wake up, take a shower, put on clean clothes, brush my hair and leave. I am lower maintenance than a guy lol

[@TheIamyourmother]

Same but add in sunscreen and maybe a quick braid depending on the day's tasks. My bf spends longer getting ready than I do, just because he spends 5 minutes blow drying his hair and putting gel in it.

[@wyclefohara4169]

My acne scars, rosacea skin, and frizzy hair could never 😔

[@prettyrat.]

Take showers in the evenings and become even faster lolol

[@TheIamyourmother]

@@wyclefohara4169 realizing, on a fundamental level, that 99% of people who see you don't particularly care how you look is very time-saving life skill 😅 I know it's not as easy as simply saying that though, and everyone's confidence and comfort levels are in a different place. My acne scarring and active breakouts will always be visible even under makeup, unless I put foundation all over my neck and chest my rosacea shows anyway, and if it gets too humid my hair will be a hot mess unless I slick it back Grease style so why waste my own time 😂

[@Ri57490]

It makes more sense for women to not waste time trying too much on appreance. Women have more to worry in life and have more difficult lives, so we should enjoy any free time we get by doing things we genuinely enjoy, and not fussing over uncomfortable things such as eyebrow threading, high heels etc. Women are naturally beautiful as long as we are somewhat healthy and have basic hygiene. Whereas men need to put more effort to look better. Even when gaining weight, women gain weight in the hips and thighs (most of the time), whereas men gain weight in the stomach (most of the time)- so fat men look worse than fat women. Men have less of an excuse to be fat. Women have periods, give birth, menopause which makes weight fluctuate.

[@azucarcortez3505]

Girl samee 😂.. getting my lashes done with my press on nails. Yet do my skin care routine to maintain a nice base for my makeup 😭idk I feel you tho ahaha

[@NaomiMJS]

This is what I’m talking about, this is smart and time efficient

[@naadi2000nr1]

My life since i was 6 years old, still working towards it and i will achieve it!

[@objectiveviews2949]

Where do you buy your jewelry?

[@joydaniellaperriwinkle2551]

I get the jewelry thing cause I do that but it bothers me you take showers with it on- like that’s all. But why not just take it off for showers? Idk 😅 have a great day everyone ❤

[@idiotsandwich4912]

Some mascara, little bronzer and highlighter with a little brow action makes me look way better and it’s so fast

[@AmberW28]

I have hair down to my bum that is naturally curly. I do daily scalp massages and have a weekly routine. It takes longer to brush and more care to deal with, but even if I roll up out of bed without makeup or jewelry, someone will usually still tell me they wish they had my hair. I'd say hair and teeth are what do it for people.

[@ddg80sbby]

Yes! Many of my luxuries are actually investments that save me time, effort, and money. What's more luxurious than feeling at ease? 😌💅

[@ellyrenee]

Exactly!🙌🏻 and boost my confidence SO much

[@klataface]

I should really appreciate my eyelashes more 😅 your skin is so beautiful! I'd love to know what your go-to products are!

[@kimmo4674]

I wear my jewelry permanently too but it’s very dainty and i can’t feel them it’s great!

[@krisrose219]

Such perfect skin

[@waitingpatiently]

*tells us about her lash lift* Me: * doesn’t know what to look for and doesn’t look like anything special. *

[@wyclefohara4169]

It means what it means. Her natural lashes got lifted, that's all. Probably no change in thickness, volume, length, colour, etc. Maybe she doesn't want to look like she has mascara 24/7 🤪

[@ChialukaGold]

Omg this is literally what I’ve been describing. It’s the lifestyle I want😂 waking up not having to do much bc of how much effort you put in weeks ago

[@sherryzmezzo]

That makes sense to me. It's another way of being prepared.

[@tarafenwick7988]

Yes...get lash extensions and brows done. All I need is tinted sunscreen and lipstick with some blush

[@sirenelectric143]

I cringe everytime I hear ppl say they don’t take off their jewelry…EVER I used to work at a jewelry store, with nice quality jewelry. It’s not true when brands market their jewelry as being able to be worn to sleep, the shower, swimming….the truth is you can do that with most real gold pieces. You shouldn’t though and that’s the difference. It’s just really rough on your jewelry. If you have pieces that have diamonds or multiple diamonds on it you will wear away at the prongs (the metal holding the diamonds) and you can loose the stones or you will wear away the finish faster (if you have white gold). The clasps can break, or your pieces can get damaged as you sleep. Yes it may not happen right away but it can happen and fixing jewelry can get really expensive really quick. Easiest nicest things for your jewelry is to go by the rule “first thing to take off when you get home, last things you put on in the morning”

[@kkbyday520]

So true about the high quality jewelry. I had these Alex & Ani bracelets on since they were given to me as secret Santa gifts years ago (two different years too). I need to finally replace them but I missed all the sales 😂. I'm gonna look for some more though.

[@rowenaryder3934]

I'm the same way about jewelry! I can't stand taking it off it's just because a part of me I recently started getting into hair care and I need to get into skin care

[@lucieerazimova5260]

I feel validated! I get lash lifts and get ny eyebrows styled every 4 weeks so that I can sleep 30 minutes extra every morning and not have to do make up. Same with my hair, I use high ene hair products and spend 3 hours taking care of my hair - but only once a week.

[@aspynk1198]

I’ve been wearing high quality jewelry since I was a kid & now it’s a habit to sleep & shower with them on

[@lisalilleseth5366]

Yes girl!! Real gold only 😊

[@marysolnarvaez5743]

Makes sense especially the jewelry part 😂

[@stephanievizzi9147]

Brown tint, lash lift and tint, good quality products and consistent skincare routine, good nutrition etc. makes such a huge difference in overall appearance and also how you feel

[@MissEricaBarnes]

This makes so much sense. New goals. Lol

[@daebak_hana]

Laser hair removal literally changed my life. I going to do more areas this year

[@marshmellowbear5663]

Exactly. It is the passive investment that keeps giving back in the form of extra time saved everyday so I can lay around like a beautiful amoeba ❤

[@christaphobia1613]

I felt this in my soul

[@oliveoiljns308]

Lolol I feel this. 1. I do my manicure and pedicure with polygel full extensions with design and toes with gel polish once a month MYSELF , foot mask every other and it lasts the whole month unless maybe one breaks then I take them off and put a clear on until my next set. I feel a broken nail is tacky 🤷🏽‍♀️, same with my hair, I'll do a deep conditioning once a month or a protective style every other month for three weeks then wash and leave out and curly for a week 2. I don't do makeup, only if I'm going out to something big and it's a simple il makiage foundation (I feel it's expensive but worth it and it lasts me A LONG time), liner and mascara and lip gloss 3. I'm lucky to have really healthy looking skin, nails and hair, but it's probably because I mostly only drink tea and water and a whole avocado every day 4. And the jewelry as well, none of my gold jewelry are less than 14k, but I do switch my earrings every other month

[@stardust.7507]

No but literally me with my earrings!! I hate putting on jewelry in the mornings so I just keep them on and change them when I'm in the mood for it 😭✋

[@Balgees24]

Agree 100% especially when I'm coming to vacations. I didn't like fake lashes too just left them for weeks.

[@AyyoShyGurlTv]

Microblading and eyelash tinting will help. Maybe instead of using a blush everyday, you can get your face tinted with permanent makeup by a licensed pmu artist professional!!:)

[@Sara-mu9wi]

I inspire to become exactly like you💕. I‘m on my way.

[@AmandaDixson]

I literally do the same thing. If I am going yo wear it, I might as well look good if I am going to die in it.

[@chinnjk]

Wow never thought of it this way but I really felt this lol

[@sunshinemademoiselle1419]

Omg i am so lazy at theses things too! I'm not good at makeup, so the dermopigmention on my eyebrows was LIFE CHANGING. And worth every bit of my money because it was quality and the result stays natural. I wish i had it done when i was 10yrs younger so i could be more self-confident on my appearence 🥲 High quality jewelries is a must, in my entire family, we are too lazy to put on/take off jewelries... so it's all waterproof or no jewelries at all.

[@P-CRUZ]

Best way to live. Take care of your future self.
