THE POWER OF THE MIRROR

Imagine a mirror. A literal, physical mirror. A glass that has been designed to provide a reflection and not one of those circus mirrors that distorts one’s image. We like the circus mirros for fun, for laughing at the silly reflections they give off— the sudden image may make us took as wide as we are tall or as skinny as a pole. Those are good for a laugh. But you would not want that kind of a mirror in your bathroom when getting ready for the day.

Mirrors are interesting and with all of the time I spend in so many different hotels and venues, I have noticed numerous differences in mirrors. They are not all equally accurate. There is the factor of light— the kind, amount, and quality of light in a bathroom plays a determining role in the value and accuracy of the mirror. And why do we use mirrors in bathrooms? For feedback! We need information. Does my hair look combed? Are there any zits on my face? Did I wash away the toothpaste? Is my makeup on right?
