Just Mirror Things: What I Think I Look Like

As humans, we spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. Whether it’s to fix our hair, perfect the winged eyeliner, or just check if there’s anything stuck in our teeth – mirrors have become an integral part of our daily routine.

But have you ever stopped and wondered what you actually look like? Sure, you know the basics – two eyes, one nose, a mouth… But what about all those other little details? The things that only someone else might notice?

In this article, we’re going to take a humorous and slightly absurd dive into how we perceive ourselves when looking in the mirror. Be prepared for some laughs and some potentially uncomfortable truths.

Looking Good First Thing In The Morning Is A Lie

Let’s start with something simple – no one looks good first thing in the morning. Not even Victoria Secret models wake up with perfectly tousled hair and glowing skin.

Yet somehow, whenever we catch ourselves in the bathroom mirror at 7 am after a night spent drooling on our pillows (hey it happens!), we still think that maybe today is going to be different.

It’s not always your best reflection staring back at you; dark circles under your eyes illustrating last night’s lack of sleep and puffy , swollen cheeks making more appearances than Beyoncé on tour.

(And let’s not forget those bedhead vibes which leave us resembling Mufasa from Lion King.)

Long story short – Regardless of who wakes y’all up (Prince Charming included) give yourself time before shaking cobwebs off those beautiful cocoons.

Finding Clever Angles

I don’t know about anyone else but when taking photos I tend to stick my tongue out randomly by default– please tell me you’ve never caught yourself doing it too?? Okay Nevermind…Moving ahead

Anyway…

Do people really stop and think why they take one specific pose? Not exactly! You direct your body in a particular angle because it may hide something you aren’t happy with or emphasise aspects of yourself that you really do like.

Angles are mighty fine friends to have, whether taking endless selfies, boasting about a new haircut or trying to prove those gym routines – never underestimate the importance of knowing where to aim them at.

This even expands further than still photos; who else experiences this phenomenon when watching videos back in which unexpectedly runs off midway from being deterred by their appearance after receiving an unfortunate notification.

Be selective with your angles and don’t let anyone make assumptions based on pesky corners cough cough camera rolls can stay exclusive.

Queen Of Camera Filters

Filters were created for a reason – Enhancing what we consider not edited features (Don’t lie … you’ve totally slapped on some Snapchat Crown filters…Remember I’m watching lol)

Thankfully, technology has evolved enough that there isn’t just one universal filter used across all content creators claiming better appearances but now various options throughout applications offering different colour tones, brightness settings , blur effects etc.

The human eye might register blemishes whereas most filters automatically smooth them out leaving behind perfectly airbrushed skin- What’s not to appreciate?

Next time someone checks my phone whilst scrolling through beautifully lit selfies i’ll have so much more information explaining how these things work.

Styling Tricks

Did y’all know tucking your shirt neatly inside your jeans makes you look slimmer?

Regardless of who said this was true its abundance cannot be denied as a trick embraced over decades tracing way back to Marilyn Monroe.

Other easy tricks include belted waist emphasis instead of making full use of oversized clothing and experimenting with unique hairstyles bringing out prominent facial features …

For instance sporting shorter haircuts resulting in longer looking necks placing agreed focus points onto head/ facial areas.

I’m picturing a photo-shoot already, long hair being eradicated and replaced with Bob cuts paired with big earrings

Styling depends upon personal preference but there are certain tricks that work well for all body types. However the art of dressing comes from embracing your physique rather than focusing heavily on masking less appealing areas because in 2021 – We’re ALL Beautiful!

The Perfect Outfit Narratives

Genuine confidence appears when we feel confident enough with what we have put forward visually to accompany it. A good outfit assists you toward feeling like everything is falling into place as if completing the final piece in puzzle

As soon as clothing choices reflect mood/lifestyle/origin/stature – It suddenly becomes impossible enforcing one default appearance norm by embodying freedom of choice through fashion creativity which provides infinite versatility enabling such vivid & authentic outlooks regardless how weird they may appear.

The process doesn’t always mean figuring out outfits most fitting – more so every aspect can compliment the individual creating a spitting image given time. Remember those items only brought because marketers marketed them well? Explore further!! Pair some tops or jackets aside pants considered staple together unveiling new perspectives made previously still undiscovered yet strikingly wonderful

Exuding personality through clothes should be deemed an everyday occurrence adopting I am who I am mantra.

And don’t fret over wearing something unusual drawing attention for being unique due to different demographics- flaunt colors, patterns and funky accessories shamelessly conveying character towards audiences proving just how much impact outfits actually have within assessing personalities instantly whilst boosting adeptness / channeling style intuition at same time

Mirrors Are Deceptive

Have you ever been shopping at stores equipped w/I local mirrors deceiving customers?

Wearing coats bought you left behind checking tags for size en-route home then realizing it’s not quite what imagined creating sudden panic/ already cut off sales tags to avoid returning product altogether

It’s as if a funhouse mirror went on holiday and decided to spoil innocent shoppers resulting in vain lies shattering confidence like fragile glass leaving self-love scattered all over the hard-floor.

Make sure it’s not just me having experienced this phenomenon because I’m pretty certain there aren’t enough rugs for us all desperately trying picking ourselves up following an embarrassing trip due clothing properly fitting but causing images representing otherwise..

Reflections: Fun Using Alternative Measures

Mirrors are great until they’re not. Unfortunately even after laughter induced displays of choosing chocolate cake over lentil soup, inevitable uncomfortable waist-band fittings or those familiar soundings occurring whilst muscles break down from constantly working out – Some days it feels harder seeing good attributes glaring back at you rather than bad.

Consequently, implementing alternative approaches should be sought when aiming for positive reinforcements towards appearance selves which doesn’t always make using scales/mirrors the quickest road available leading toward witnessing improvements obtained multiple ways i.e skill-development , fitness / relationship progression (however let’s leave societal issues alone momentarily…)
Self-esteem & Positive mental health gained through success heeds longevity with far greater outcomes albeit possible requiring more work initially

As someone once wisely articulated – A better feeling wearing smile compared to standing before reflective surface stressing- Perception Is Key!

Reflecting upon previous failures shouldn’t coerce people into relying solely Mirror-dependence; resorting towards seeking fulfillment elsewhere however seems realistic yet challenging.

Good light can save your life!

Let’s face it – lighting is everything! What might appear clunky placed within shadows could shine vividly incandescent given right positioning hence naturally …light helps significantly in defining what we see reflected inside the mirror.

Poor lighting sources accentuate worst aspects and drops signals our brain assumes making entire outlook appear a bit bleak

There was one time when visiting coffee shop lit dimly…let’s just say I resembled a monster mummy people ought never saw if it weren’t for zombies randomly appearing at Halloween parties and scaring people with clumps of hair emanating from their scalp..

But enough personal stories…

Next time stepping in front reflective surfaces, good lighting should be prioritized – highlighting areas liked including those more difficult looks within outfit or hairstyle you experimented previously.

Raise your curtains or alternatively order some lights- regardless what method undertaken; have full understanding Good Lighting breeds Great Confidence=Success

Revealing Tattoos

Tattoos are art pieces showcasing creativity whilst occasionally unfolding sub-stories many aware unaware existed. Of course majority who dare marking permanent parts human body conducts research against negative consequences however once ink smeared onto skin debates center notions regarding social acceptance when openly displayed.

Experimentation Leads To Discovery

Say you’ve never tried something which contradicted everything assumed before noticing a healthier/ attractive / youth reviving presentation unfolding?

It’s all about exploring options and seeing what feels right. Most times we get so used to routine purposes within our daily lives it is easy to forget that perhaps trying out various perspectives/approaches rather going along with same repetitive regimen could yield unforeseen bonus perks hence refusing change futile

Recall initially replacing brown eyeliner daintily framing your bottom lashes w/I daring dark coloured bold strokes adorning upper lids looking fantastic making eyes appear more alive?

Something similar likely happened when experimenting varied outfits , hairdos or even opting for occasional eyebrow tinting .

Needing changes doesn’t necessarily have equivocal meaning behind growing dissatisfied feeling growing sick repetitive routine cursing trajectory established fate instead remaining hopeful initiating wider-eyed glimpse into possibilities waiting unexplored. You might stumble upon clearer reflections proving rewarding journey by end of day following unforgettable discoveries
