“Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?”
It’s you, trust us, it’s you. And you deserve to feel that way while looking at your reflection every day—because feeling loved and uplifted starts with ourselves, right?
Psychologically, looking at our reflections in the mirror helps us develop our sense of self and allows us to shift our perspective. It also helps us feel a sense of connection with our entire body and can even serve as a mindful meditation method.
Since mirrors do direct attention to appearances, it’s one of the home items that people are upgrading to match their aesthetic as they get into home decoration during quarantine. Here are some mirrors from online shops that we recommend for your reflection revamp.

The classics will never go out of style, just like this full-body black-framed mirror from Greenery MNL. What’s more is that the shop’s delivery service helps displaced jeepney and UV drivers by enlisting their help in deploying and delivering their mirrors within Metro Manila.
