Mirror, Mirror...

I carry this mirror in my handbag, no idea why as I never get it out to use...maybe due to the fact I'd feel consciously vain or just don't feel the need to look at myself whilst on the go!

Either way, is it fair to say we may often believe the outer casing to be more beautiful than the reflection the mirror shows?
"Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them", famously quoted by Paul Morand.

Therefore surely happiness is looking in the mirror and liking what we see.
