Day 11: Links Day


So Today is a day of links for my topic. I will write a little about each link I put down on today's blog post. There should be around 5 links that are posted. The links will focus on "Mirror Fasts" for they have become a growing trend in America.

Link 1: Mirror, Mirror... OFF The Wall. - This link is what inspired me to go without mirrors for 28 days. Kjerstin Gruys did a 365 or a whole year "mirror fast" and it was pretty interesting when I read it. It made me realise that I needed to get control over my vanity before I let it control me or get out of control and never be able to return to normal.

Link 2: Is 'mirror fasting' really a good idea? - This was a recent article done by DNA or Daily News &  Analysis. They talk to Christine Morgan form the Butterfly Foundation about "mirror fasting". She says that it gets the focus off your appearance but every one's problems really start in your head. They also interviewed Kylie Stevenson and her experience of going without mirrors for only a week. You can learn a lot from the pair on "mirror fasting".

Link 3: Mirror Fasting: The Latest Beauty Trend? - This is an article that came out this past August. It quotes the from the first believed movement on this topic in the Guardian. It also talks about bloggers like Autumn Whitefield-Madrano and Kjerstin Gruys. Continued in Part 2.
