You wake up very late in the morning. You’re late! You have a big meeting starting in a few minutes and you haven’t even washed your face first. Of course you will skip breakfast, you are late. Of course you won’t sit down to read the morning paper, you’re late. All you want to do now is walk into your office and be ready to face a crowd of colleagues, superiors, and potential clients. You want to be there, right there and at that moment. But not yet, not yet…

You can skip breakfast and you can skip your normal morning routine of reading the newspaper. But you can’t skip a bathroom routine. You can even skip the bath, but not that one, you have to, you just have to look at yourself in the bathroom mirror. Especially now that you are about to be in a very important meeting, you have to be presentable, and that includes your physical image. You just can’t look presentable when you have all the marks of a (seemingly) good night’s sleep. And the only way you’ll know if it’s okay to head out now and run to your office or if you still need a little (but much-needed) sprucing up is by looking in your trusty bathroom mirror. The mirror in your bathroom will tell you what to do, and by it you will know if you can run. That’s how important personal hygiene is, that’s how important the bathroom mirror is.

So you can always buy meals at the take-out counters outside your house, and you can always peruse your office supply of newspapers, and you can always (though hopefully not) put off bathing, but you can never, no. have a bathroom mirror. It seems to be as necessary as the bathroom itself.

The bathroom mirror comes in a wide range of designs, shapes, sizes, and of course, colors. There are the simple but beautiful wooden or metal frames, among others. There are the frames with intricate designs. You can have a bathroom mirror that is big enough for you to check your whole body and of course there is also a bathroom mirror that is big enough for you to check your face. Most bathroom mirrors are designed to sit on the bathroom wall, but if you have a larger space, you can have a bathroom mirror that reclines to your desired angle. Of course, there are special mirrors, such as the common bathroom mirror that is also a medicine cabinet or medicine cabinet. And since a bathroom is almost always wet, there is the anti-fog bathroom mirror which, as the name suggests, eliminates the problem of precipitation on the mirror when the bathroom gets too humid. The important thing is that you have to find the one that suits your taste, your bathroom (space), and of course, the always important budget.

A bathroom mirror is so important that all you have to do is look at it (and yourself, of course) even though every second that passes means you’re late for work or school. But then again, you can always get up early and not curse every second while you’re in front of your bathroom mirror.
