How do I get rid of the extra space on the Dropdown menu?

So I made a navigation bar with a drop down menu on hover but the problem is that the items in the list have acquired some extra padding on the left side out of no-where how can I remove the padding(I tried inspecting but couldn't find anything ).

HERE's the Problem : PROBLEM

THIS IS WHAT I WANT : HOW IT SHOULD BE

THE CODE:

Just add .unfixed ul {padding-left:0;} to your style sheet to remove the default padding of 40px from the left of dropdown menus.

ulhas padding by default so just reset it by adding padding:0 to your nav ul li ul

        <p>Hi! I'm Jaya, I love fashion and believe that there is no easier way to express yourself than through your clothes.</p>
        <br>
        <p>Clothes aren't only an expression of who you are but are also a very good medium to share a message with people you meet. Fashion, through its passing conformities, helps to bridge the greater transitions of the process of social change. Life
          isn't a dress rehearsal; it's the one and only life you've got.</p>
