Over the next 28 days I will not look in any mirror or reflect surface. I hope that it will get me over my vanity of looking in a mirror almost every second of every day.

Day 26: Article
So this was suppose to be an interview day but no one that I contacted could get back to me for me to write about it. So once again I'm doing an article instead of doing an interview. I found this article on the Daily Mails online newspaper. The article is called Women turning their backs on mirrors to ease constant pressure of having to look good. It was written Tamara Cohen back in August of this year. The article talks about how women are embracing the new trend of 'mirror fasting' to avoid the pressure of always having to look good. They say that those that have tried it have felt liberated and that is true because I'm having that feeling through my own project. Ms. Cohen was able to talk to Autumn Whitefield-Mardano, Kjerstin Gruys and their experiences with their own 'mirror fasts'. She also talks to
Dr. Phillippa Diedrichs, who is a psychologist that deals with appearance. Her opinion is that 'mirror fasting' is just another way to obsess about one's appearance. I hope that you enjoy this article that I have found for everyone.
