Variety in life (for girls?) (5)
I believe the answer is:
spice
'variety in life' is the definition.
'spice' can be an answer for 'life' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'variety in' bit.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spice that I've seen before include "Flavouring substance" , "Eg, turmeric" , "Aromatic flavouring" , "eg Mace, ginger, Posh" , "Pungent substance to flavour food" .)
