6 poses you’ll need when you forget your deodorant

Now and again we all do it: leave the house and it’s not until we’re too far to turn back that we realise we forgot deodorant. Cue discreet poses throughout the day to check we still smell fresh (and setting a reminder on our phone to throw a bottle of Dove Compressed in our bag when we get home – takes up barely any room and we’ll never forget it again).

    The Coat Swing Around.
