I'm having a mirror problem in my new house... Poor lighting and a lack of actual large mirrors mean that I head merrily out in the morning with liner on one eye, or my hair standing up on end. Or a worse-than-I-thought zit on my chin. Or hairier armpits than I realised. Or... you get the picture. And then I get to work, where by ten o'clock I need to pee and I look in the mirror there and say "GAH!"
I took a picture of my bathroom mirror to show you what I mean. Sam wanted to know if we were taking selfies to a whole new level. We are standing in the bath in this pic, which is the only way to get close enough to the mirror. The shower is behind.
I suppose I could move the big mirror to a better lit area where it can actually be used for looking at oneself in. But it's looking SO PRETTY where it is.
It's a hard life. But having no idea what I look like is so good that I'm thinking of having the loo mirrors at work removed and replaced with paintings.
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

That is a horrible thing to discover you THINK you look fine, but then NOT!
Full length mirror in the bedroom is my rule of the day before going out. I dislike those kind of surprises!
but what if we ALL had no idea what we looked like? We should have an international no mirror day!
