I had always been led to believe, one day you will look in the mirror and see your mother. I must of skipped a generation, the only person I see is my Grandma

Depends if I've got my specs on or not.

Every time I look in the mirror something has either appeared that I don't want or disappeared that I do want. Lines, blemishes, broken veins, extra chins, the odd hair needing to be plucked out. Hair from my head has disappeared, teeth have disappeared, my waist has disappeared. Apart from that, I am absolutely gorgeous! grin

roses snap I've been off colour the past two weeks and medication is just about turning it around to feeling somewhat normal again but looking in the bathroom mirror nearly gave me a massive setback so same as you with some BB cream and the locks brushed through and clipped up neatly instead of looking like "not to-night Josephine"

Have you ever looked in a mirror in passing and wished you hadn't?I did just that today, and saw a little pale worried old face looking back at me! I have had some sort of virus this week and can't stop coughing, but didn't realise I looked THAT bad.I went off and slapped some tanning moisturiser on it. Now it looks like a little worried old face [but tanned.]I think I give up.
