Do you ever? (Light hearted post)

NEVER EVER look in a magnifying mirror

You have been warned xxx

Yes, all the time. I am convinced aliens have invaded my whole body/face etc because the me inside looks nothing like this. I am slim, gorgeous, sexy etc till I look in the mirror and the exact words in my head are: “Who the hell is that?”

No, only have one mirror which is kept in a drawer

When I meet old friends I haven't seen for a while, I think they look old only for a few minutes then they seem as ever.

On "working from the office" days, I've always put full makeup on and dressed professionally in a suit etc. Since working from home, I haven't put makeup on once and, when I can be bothered, I'm dressed in leggings and jumper. The outgrowing haircut and grey roots don't help matters either. I realised how haggard I look when Facetiming family and I see that plain faced, dowdy little woman in the bottom right hand corner of the screen!

Yes my house must be haunted. Every time I look in the mirror an old lady steps in front of me.

Actually, my bathroom mirror is quite flattering, it's not until I see a photo of the finished result that I realise it was lying.

Huh! I see my father.......

And do you ever meet a school friend you haven't seen for years, and think "doesn't she look old"?

This is a good laugh. My hair was such a sight this morning luckily my OH was still half asleep.
I see my mother too, she's there every morning. Why did I put that mirror by the stairs?

Lucky you only seeing your mother! First thing in the morning I see my Gran!!

Hetty58 and LullyDully I share your pain

There is an old lady in my mirror , not sure who she can be. She catches me unaware when I don't prepare myself first.

I think 'Mother? What are you doing here?'

Witzend My reading glasses are a curse! I don't look too bad from a distance, but my word close up with my glasses on, not a pretty sight. And first thing in the morning is particularly challenging. Luckily, my husband also wears reading glasses, so I don't frighten him too much when he first wakes up, before he puts them on. ?

Thanks for that Littleannie a great start to my day . This really tickled me - I laughed so hard it made me cough ?!

I try not to look in the mirror first thing in the morning

When I have done so accidently I then feel very sorry for my OH who has to look at me!

Yes and wonder who the old person is looking back at me.

Yes, but more so if I’ve been daft enough to look at my reflection with my glasses on.

(Same applies to dust, can’t see it without my glasses.)
