Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

I just read a story about a woman at UCLA who is not going to look in the mirror for a year, including covering her wedding date. And she blogs about it in a blog called Mirror, Mirror Off the Wall.

Here is the link to the story:


The story says some women look in the mirror 70 times a day.

Do you look into the mirror often? Do you like looking in the mirror?

Your thoughts?

    I look in the mirror every time I wash my hands. The mirror is behind the sink. I don’t go out of my way to find one. It is just there. When we are camping I look for a mirror about twice a day.

    I wouldn't say I like to look in the mirror but I often do as our mirror at home is above the sink. You wash your hand and you just automatically look. Same at our office.

    Love,

    I think that's just silly. People should look in the mirror because sometimes you see food on a shirt or dress that you wouldn't notice if you didn't. Ask me how I know? Or maybe it's just because I'm messy in the kitchen with cooking, etc. I don't think I'm vain for checking my clothes/teeth/hair:).

    I think that's an interesting challenge to go through. As said above, the mirror is above the bathroom sink, so yeah, I look in the mirror a few times a day. Also, Chess prefers that I keep my appearance to a certain standard so I do check how I look throughout the day, but not obsessively.

    I guess I can understand, because I do know quite a few women who are super self-absorbed and vain. Those kinds of women drive me bonkers. That being said, What the heck?! Your commenters above me are right: Something in your teeth, on your shirt... and is she going to go vampire and cover all the mirrors over her sinks?

    I am not obsessive about looking in a mirror during the day but will use it to touch up my lipgloss etc.

    My Master made an interesting comment during a conversation with me the other day. "the mirror ALWAYS lies and serves only as a reminder of what lies beneath.".

    An interesting post as always, thank you, Florida Dom.

    Take care, Sky

    Florida Dom - I am not sure how to edit my previous post but I misquoted my lovely Master. His words were - "The mirror ALWAYS lies. It will always be a reflection of a shell and serves only as a reminder of what lies beneath."

    I have gained a sense of self pride based on my appearance and I am learning that my pride will come from inside myself.

    Sorry about the double posts!

    never if I can help it. ever. I even use a tiny mirror to put on makeup so never see the whole package. I loathe mirrors.

    Wow that's a huge thing for me. I look into the mirror constantly. Mostly because for most of my life I hated how I look and yet 2 years ago I began actually liking what I see.
