Recently, I’ve been hanging out with a bunch of high-maintenance girls. I mean, I’m pretty high maintenance myself: I constantly shop, I’m on the lookout for new trends, I’m obsessed with makeup & hair products, and I am always in the mood for a mani/pedi! But like everything else, high maintenance comes in many forms.

Let me walk you through the different levels; at least from my perspective.

LEVEL 1 – NO MAINTENANCE

These are the people who don’t feel the need to get ready. Getting ready is either a nuisance or an unnecessary task. They see no point in getting ready for everyday activities like going to school, going to work, etc. They can wake up and literally be dressed and out the door in 10 minutes! Mani and Pedi? That’s uncalled for; it’s so useless to them! The good thing about “no maintenance” people is simplicity. It can sometimes be a huge ordeal to pamper one’s self, so it would be nice to just leave the house without a care about your appearance. Also, some people are really lucky and don’t even need maintenance. The bad side is when they become too comfortable and might even get too lazy to shower or even brush their teeth. (I knew people like this! Yikes!)

LEVEL 2 – LOW MAINTENANCE

Low maintenance people do a little more but they still like to keep things simple. They are minimalists and do as little as they possibly can. They don’t need to go above and beyond; they just need to look decent. This can be a guy who keeps his hair as short as possible to prevent maintenance, or it can be a girl that combs out her tangles in the morning and leave the house without styling her hair or wearing much makeup. This is also nice because a girl can just throw her hair in a bun or ponytail, put on some powder, leave the house in jeans and a tshirt and still rock the casual look. A lot of girls, I’ve noticed, pull off the “low maintenance” look pretty well; especially at the gym!

LEVEL 3 – SEMI HIGH-MAINTENANCE

These are the girls (like me) who constantly check their makeup in the mirror, do their hair, shop for outfits, and of course pamper themselves with pedicures, trips to the spa, tanning, etc. I would usually consider this high-maintenance but the thing that separates this category from high maintenance is that we would only go so far to maintain our looks. It’s not an everyday thing…sometimes you’ll catch us in ripped jeans and a casual tee…except it might be with high heels too! I find this category to be a mixture between casual and “dolled-up.”

LEVEL 4 – HIGH MAINTENANCE QUEENS

I have seen the most high maintenance girls that make me feel like I’m low maintenance! I’ve seen girls that spend time doing their hair everyday or go to a salon to get their hair styled few times a week. These girls are usually willing to shell out money for surgical procedures like breast implants or nose jobs. They would consider botox or hundreds of dollars worth of creams and ointments to keep their skin looking young and refreshed. These are the kinds of girls that you will NEVER catch without makeup, undone hair, or in sweats. And if they are in sweats, it’s probably Juicy Couture or some type of velour sweats. I call these girls the true  high maintenance queens! I always thought I was high maintenance but I am nowhere near it! 

Hope this article was useful! =)

Yes I’m about to off on a tangent. And once you read the entire blog, you will see why I am so frustrated at the moment.

Very recently, I started a job and on my first day, I had to plaster advertisments around the building. I didn’t really know where things went since it was my first day and I was extremely nervous since I wanted to make a great impression on the manager.

There was a custodian sweeping the floor in the building and he saw me standing in confusion, thinking about the perfect placement for the ads. (I’m quite a perfectionist at my jobs so I understand that it might baffle people to see me standing there for a good minute, staring at the wall) 

He had a very friendly demeanor but on the other hand, he also seemed a little “off,” in his facial expressions. For example: His question sounded very friendly, yet his entire face was grimaced. (Not a very appealing expression if you ask me.)

He laughed and asked,

“Do you need help Miss? You look sorta confused.”

I proceeded to say,

“Well, I’m looking for a good spot to put the ads and I’m not quite sure where it looks best. [laugh] It’s my first day so I want it to be perfect.”

I didn’t expect him to help me. I didn’t want sympathy and I wasn’t trying to pull a damsel in distress act. What I wanted for him to do is what I expect any normal person to do. Laugh, walk away, and leave me be. But instead, he grabbed the ads, put them in a random spot, and before walking away, he added:

“Wow, you ARE a girl. It’s the easiest task, yet you make it hard.”

First of all, I can take a joke. I’m pretty good at reading people, and if he laughed at the end, did a little friendly hand gesture, or even if he said it in a joking manner, I would still be offended but I would not let it affect me. This guy said it and looked at me with narrowed eyes like he truly religiously believed it. He was DEAD SERIOUS.

Plus I’m not stupid. I can read between the lines and sense his underlying tone. I’m not mad that he practically insulted me, but I’m mad at him insinuating that all females are stupid. 
People like him constantly surprise me with their idiocy. The fact that he was using “females” as a metaphor for “stupidity” just irks me. He said it as if they go hand in hand.

I looked at him, rolled my eyes and walked away. I was so worried about my job that for a quick second, I excused it. But you know if I could turn back time, you know what I would’ve told him?

“Um…yeah I am a girl. And wow, you ARE an idiot. Opening your mouth when nothing useful really comes out.”

If only, if only…

This sexism needs to die, seriously. Some of the beliefs that still exist in this world just amaze me.

Just got a spray tan! It was amazing, hides all my flaws. haha

Here is an outfit I put together. I like things a little off and mismatched so the top is just perfect!

NOTE: That’s Andrea’s (my roommate) bed behind me. I can’t angle my camera to face my side of the room since it’s in a weird corner. =/ One day I’ll put up pics of my side! haha

The shoes are really cute because I’m not the kind of person who can sport full on gladiator shoes, so these shoes have a touch of gladiator but it’s not overwhelming.

The shoes are from TJ Maxx, the top is a random top from a boutique in Downtown L.A., and the skirt is from Forever 21! The whole outfit costs about $35! =) I love bargain shopping!

I tend to do a personal update once in a while! Well, you all probably noticed but I have TWITTER!

Follow me! I am constantly updating it and I promise to include some deals and specials from when I go shopping! I love having it on the website because even when I’m not blogging, I’m still updating! Would be cool if I could set up a cam thing where I can just picture message it and update my cam automatically. Hmm…wonder if that’s possible. I’ll find out! lol

I just went to LA and had fun shopping in Melrose, Burbank, and just the general LA area. I played with my sister’s yorkies: Prince & Coco! They are so adorable!

I’m excited because I’m going to Disneyland again this next weekend. I have to remember to bring a camera this time so I can take my own pics!

I was looking through all my old pictures from years ago and I found some from when I was 14-17!!! Wow time surely flies! Here are some of the pics I took when I was a camgirl around 2001-2003. 

My Oh My, I have changed. It’s always fun to look back at your high school pics and laugh to see how much you’ve changed. I used to go for that dark lipliner look too! Yeck!

haha but If I find some more, I’ll def. post them up.

I know I promised I wouldn’t give in and buy anymore gadgets…but…

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW IPAD COMING OUT? It’s amazing and so cool. I really didn’t want to research it because knowing Apple, they have a way of sucking you in. They’re just so damn good at it.

But my friend couldn’t stop raving about it so I just had to look it up. It looks like a large Iphone or Ipod Touch and is packed with features like Safari, Youtube, Mail, Photo, Video, etc. Kind of all your basic features. It’s purely touch screen but because the screen is bigger than a phone or ipod, it looks very easy to type on. Check it out for yourself on the Apple website. It’s thin, sleek, very handy (about the size of a standard magazine) and best of all, it’s only $500! I actually think that’s a pretty good deal since it has nearly all the standard features a computer or laptop has. I didn’t think I would want something that didn’t have a keyboard (100% touch screen scares me) but it looks so handy that I’m very excited to hear more about it!

I looked it up on the Apple website and the most appealing feature is their new iBooks feature which allows you to download books and read it on the screen with options to adjust the lighting, font, and format while you’re on the page. Every time you turn the page, the page actually turns and you see the animation! I like how all your books are stored on a bookshelf. It makes you more excited to read because of all the vivid colors and animations.

Let me know if you get to snag one!
