State of Affairs

An old boyfriend of mine had a funny way of judging women. He’d peer into their handbags. “State of her purse equals state of her bush,” he’d singsong.

While he was a total prat, the theory does make sense. If you are anal enough to clean out your bag every day, you’re probably organised enough to book monthly Brazilians.

I, personally, have a standing Saturday appointment at the local salon. My handbag, on the other hand, has about seven different kinds of currency knocking about beneath lipstick-kissed Tesco receipts from 2002, half empty cigarette packs, a few magazines, three pairs of sunglasses, a jumper and at least six lighters that I can never find when I need them, so clearly I’m the exception to the rule. Anything to prove that man wrong.

As someone who can rarely be bothered to iron her dress, but makes time for three layers of moisturisation every morning, I’m thrilled with the new site everythingunderthedress.com. With products ranging from Fashion First Aid to Holistic Silk, the website carries a range of cult beauty products, lingerie, wellness and fragrance products. Perfect for product junkies and lingerie addicts.

And the men who love them.

To celebrate the launch of everythingunderthedress.com, they're offering a special discount offer for all our lovely Urban Junkies subscribers. Just enter the promotional code UJPR01 for a 15% reduction on anything you buy before October 31.

That guy has a shit theory. People may not understand me, but Like EC, my bag is a right mess and a time capsule. I avoid wearing silk blouses so I don't have to iron. Among other domestic crimes, like all the accumulated newspapers and magazines all over the floor and on every chair, and piled up recycling because I couldn't be bothered to separate it yet (and I am also embarasssed by the amount of wine bottles) I would say that pampering myself is the only real routine I've got, no matter how late I am. Since I know I am a busy girl, I've had laser hair removal done, coincidentally in Brazil. But even back in the day I wouldn't miss a wax. I know people leading tidy lives that don't even always have smooth legs, let alone other areas. So there!
