The reason I looked high maintenance

4/28 Edited to

... Read moreOver time, I've realized that looking 'high maintenance' doesn't have to mean spending a fortune or endless salon visits. One of my favorite natural hacks is drinking fennel seed tea daily; it's an old-school remedy famed for its benefits, such as supporting breast enhancement thanks to its phytoestrogens. While results can vary, incorporating this tea has been a gentle addition to my routine with noticeable effects. When it comes to nail care, press-on nails have revolutionized my approach. They look just as polished as salon manicures and often last longer when paired with the right glue and a UV lamp. This saves both time and money while maintaining a chic appearance. Facial care through gua sha was initially just hype for me until I followed a targeted face map technique. Consistent use helped define my jawline and improved my skin's circulation, giving me a natural contour without invasive treatments. For skincare, I swear by a simple turmeric mask made from plain yogurt, honey, and turmeric powder. It’s a DIY alternative that has replaced expensive microneedling sessions for me, delivering an even glow with consistent use. In addition, adding a couple of drops of glycolic acid to my body wash smooths skin texture, fades dark spots, and reduces body acne—making it a practical addition to daily self-care. Lastly, I depend on internal support like Rosabella Moringa Gummies that work from the inside out to keep skin fresh and radiant. These holistic approaches collectively prove that looking high maintenance is not about extravagance but about smart, effective, and affordable self-care strategies.

For a long time I wore ‘low-maintenance’ like a badge of honor. I grew up with boys, so I thought caring about how I looked was shallow — but the truth is, I just wasn’t taking care of me for me.
