As adult women, we're better able to protect ourselves emotionally. We understand we don't need to spend time with people who don't make us feel good.

There's no doubt that shows on your face.
People don't want to look at you and think, 'Oh, it must have taken her so long to get ready!' It's not as exciting to imagine. They want to imagine your life being - well, the opposite of what it sometimes is, where getting dressed is very regimented, you know? People don't want to know that.
