Metrosexual

My father doesn't believe in using excessive toiletries - not even deodorant, in fact. He just washes, and I've never noticed him smell unpleasant despite an active outdoor life. He cringes when he sees young men picking up skin products in Boots. "Don't do it!" he mutters to me. " You don't need it!" And then he envies me my fresh and youthful skin. I'm 33.

Sometimes, when I'm going through the bathroom cabinet looking for something to tame my hair with, I think I have too many styling products. Sometimes, I just think I haven't found the right one to control the unruly hair I also inherit from Dad.
