About This Quote
This quote is a common expression used to describe a woman who has lost her sparkle and beauty. Women often find themselves losing their glow when they get older. This is quite common for women, especially if they have children. They no longer do fun things and can’t just sit around doing nothing because they have to get up and go to work. Instead, they must start doing things that don’t really interest them just so that they can maintain the appearance of being young and beautiful.
