Discover the fine line between "high maintenance" and essential self-care with us, as we dissect the stereotypes and celebrate personal well-being without the guilt. While our drinks may be mocktails this time, our discussions are as real as they get, weaving through personal triumphs and the societal implications of our choices. We've all faced that moment at a dinner party or a work event where our routines are scrutinized—join us as we share stories and debate the fairness of these labels, questioning whether the act of taking care of oneself genuinely warrants the stigma of being 'high maintenance' or if it's a mere projection of outdated societal norms.

It's time to redefine what it means to be high value in our eyes and in the eyes of others. We shed light on the subject, we navigate the complex terrain of personal maintenance decisions, advocating for the autonomy to invest in ourselves without reproach. From grooming habits to demanding the best table at a restaurant, we analyze how these choices reflect our personalities and the invisible lines that separate confidence from vanity. Let's raise a glass—filled with whatever suits you—to embracing individual definitions of self-worth and dismantling the prejudices surrounding high maintenance behaviors. Join us for a conversation that might just change the way you view your mirror, your closet, and even your next spa appointment.
