Aren’t we women all born multitaskers? You could tell us to cook up a meal while watching TV and gossiping with our BFFs about who wore what at last night’s party, and we’ll do it all without any hassle whatsoever.

If you ask us to give you advice on relationships while we’re doing our manicure, we’ll still manage to give you the best possible tips than anyone ever gave you.

But probably an area where we fall a tad short is getting dressed up for a party after a terribly long and tiring day at work! Worse still, when our friends break the news about the “most happening” party in town only an hour before the party starts.
