25 Things Only Low-Maintenance Women Will Understand

We know what makes a high-maintenance woman—a full face of makeup at all times, the perfect outfit and matching heels for every occasion and, of course, it takes her a good long while to primp before she leaves the house.

But how do you know if you’re a low-maintenance woman? Take a look at the list below. If you find yourself nodding in agreement and saying, “Yep, that’s me,” over and over again—then you’re probably a low-maintenance woman!

1. Yoga Pants Aren’t Only For Yoga

If it were acceptable to wear yoga pants to work, you’d have an outfit for every season.

2. ‘I Woke Up Like This’

When you actually spend more than 15 minutes getting ready (shower included), the compliments come flooding in.

3. Aching Feet Are Not Your Style

Sneakers and simple flats are your footwear of choice.

4. Only When Absolutely Necessary

Your only pair of heels live in a desk drawer, and are only used when you’ve got an important off-site meeting.

5. No Delays For You

You don’t wear anything shiny or with buckles to the airport so you can breeze through TSA like a celebrity.

6. No Muss, No Fuss

You only put on lipgloss if you’re feeling fancy.

7. Dry Shampoo Is A Must

A few spritzes of dry shampoo is all you need to freshen up your ‘do—no conditioner or hair dryer required.

8. The Best Kind Of Uniform

One pair of jeans with multiple tees last a whole week.

9. Such A Money-Saver

You buy your toiletries at the drug store. And they work just fine, thank you very much!

10. Bat Those Lashes

Your morning makeup routine consists of mascara and…well, that’s about it.

11. Au Naturel

Eyeliner? Keep that optical saber away from my eyes!

12. Asking For A Friend

Wait, there’s a difference between primer, concealer and foundation?

13. Seal The Deal

You have a single “interview outfit” and panic when you have to go in for multiple rounds.

14. I. Can’t. Even.

You don’t get excited when your friends suggest meeting for a mani/pedi.

15. No Thanks

Jewelry? One more thing to take on and off each day.

16. The Tousled Look Is In, Right?

Bobby pins and hairbands are the most effective “hair-taming products” you own.

17. Thank Goodness For Online Shopping

You avoid the mall like the plague.

18. So Cozy

Your PJs consist of tees and boy shorts.

19. Gets The Job Done

The contacts you spent gobs of money on sit in the drawer because glasses are way easier.

20. But, Really—Why?

You don’t get how or why other women choose to spend three hours at a hair salon every four weeks.

21. Back To Basics

And eyebrow threading? Tweezers work just fine.

22. Very Punctual

You’re never “fashionably late”… because you don’t spend 47 minutes curling your hair.

23. Ulterior Motives

You only go to the gym so you can change into your comfy clothes.

24. You Could Live In Them

You attend events where the dress code = jeans.

25. Hit The Road!

You’re always up for last-minute trips because you’ve got the travel staples down, and can fit everything into a carry-on—BOOM!
