Two Reflections...

Is it just my mirror that is deceiving me or does anyone else have two reflections?
Let me explain...
Regularly your bathroom mirror is an asset best used to see your relection.  It helps provide your exact image as you apply makeup, floss your teeth, pop your zits, pluck your eyebrows, fix your hair and choose your outfit.  It never lies, its reflective, its always honest.right?

Unfortunately, I am having a hard time believing my mirror at home.  Lets just say we aren't speaking right now, thats just how I deal with liars. You see, I have found that I have two reflections.  There is the one I see on a regular basis, day in and day out in my bathroom mirror and then there is one that creeps up in car windows, on the sneeze guard, in the dressing rooms at the mall, on my digital film, my rear view mirror etc. etc. and what I have found is that these two reflections are not at all similar.

As I take my last glance into my bathroom mirror (on most days) I look to see that my makeup is in place... check, my blush makes my cheeks glow... check, my hair is more or less fluffed and perfect with that "I didn't spend much time on my hair" kind of look... check, my outfit isn't horrible... check and I hey did I loose weight? (even though the scale is telling me otherwise).  I swear I leave the house looking like Gwenyth Paltrow and find myself less than hour later catching a glimpse of danny devito in the sneeze guard at Subway.  First thought after encountering Danny "whoa something must be wrong with this sneeze guard".  Then the next glimpse I catch is in the grocery store freezer section in the door as I innocently open it up for some frozen veggies and instead see my head to toe look through the slightly streaked glass. The next thought that crosses my mind... "is it possible to gain weight from my house to Smiths?"

More or less the real shocker is a photo.  Like the old saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words."  My picture's thousand words are more along the lines of "runny mascara, food in your teeth, flat hair, fat face, whoa are those my two thighs or a pair of whales resting together?"

I'm always shocked to see one person when I am out and about running errands and a whole new person when I get ready in the morning in the comfort of my own mirror.  Its the case of the girl with two reflections.

I don't really have a huge solution to the problem , other than I am going to keep investigating into this mysterious mirror issue until I get to the bottom of it.

But until I do may the mirrors at your home tell the truth, the pictures that you are smiling in look as good as your smile in your bathroom and the mirrors at JCrew be the true deceivers.
