Messy Vs Optimised: Are You A Gwyneth Or A Winona?

Holly recently came across a theory online about Gen X icons and former besties Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder. It centres around the idea that must of us fall into one of two distinct categories of women who exemplify dramatically different lifestyles and worldviews. In one camp are the self-improvement junkies, in the other - the flakes. Who do we identify with, and what's it like for the Winonas living in a world made for Gwyneths?
