Hi Sloppyflow, not very long...I am not pretty so looking in a mirror is a chore I hate...I actually put on the little bit of makeup I wear without a mirror, only use a small hand held mirror to put on mascara...and my hair? Well I barely have any...I choose to keep it short, very short, about an inch in length...it is so much easier because of my naturally curly, (kinky, ugh!) hair! But I've got to tell you I have two beautiful daughters and it's amazing that everyone says they look like me...I don't think so...see my avatar...my babies need no make up or nothing and their naturally curly hair is nothing like mine...they can use it straight or curly and it is always beautiful... ~G~

oh, no, I could not face the mirror. Because it says all truth about my face and body. I am not what I feel about myself without mirror. I feel myself young, but mirror says that be careful you are not as young as you are playing role of naughty people. ah I became old and mirror tells me this truth. It meant I spent a little time in front of the mirror.

Hi, sloppyflow! As of now, I will spend at least 5 minutes looking in the mirror just at myself... But, when I am washing my face or doing my hair, I will be in front of the mirror about 10 minutes. I may take five minutes on my face. And 10 to 15 minutes on my hair. When I was younger, I would spend a lot of time in the mirror. But as I have gotten older, that changed.. I also am in the mirror when I brush my teeth too.

Not very long I dont think. I spend about 10 minutes straightening my hair and about 5 minutes putting on my make up. So a total of about 15 minutes.

When I was younger, I used to spend 30 minutes-1 hour in front of the computer.. but things suddenly changed, i don't spend too much of my time in front of the mirror anymore.. now? i'm only spending 5-10 minutes.. once i'm done fixing myself(putting light make up, combing my hair and dressing up) then i'd go.. i'm not the vain girl i used to be anymore..

I spent to much time in the mirror when I was still single. I use the mirror everyday for about 15 minutes going back every now and then to check how do I look like and if I am already satisfied with the way I look. I do that everyday but most especially if I have a date or when I need to go to the mall. When I got married, I rarely use the mirror. I only use the mirror about once or twice a week and for only 1 to 2 minutes as maximum. It is not that I can't give time to myself or I no longer fix how I look but it's just that I have graduated from the time when I was very vain. When I can't go without having a final check with myself. When I can't afford to be unprepared or when I just want to impress others. Now that the only person I need to impress is my husband I have learned that the most important praise is the one coming from your better half. So I just feel more simple now than before because my husband loved me no matter how I look. Besides he kept on telling me not to prepare to much so that I won't be grabbing others attention. I am not pulling a leg here because that came from him.

I stay in front of the mirror only once or twice a day. After washing or showering in the morning, I come to my mirror to get hair combed, and dressed, to start a new day. Whenever going out, mirror helps me to check if there is anything wrong. Actually, mirror is for others as well as for myself. Decent appearance is a sign of ego, and respect to whomever I see and whoever see me.

Well I don't calculate how much time I spend in front of mirror. But everyday in the morning after taking bath I spend around 10-15 minutes. I even shave thrice in a week which requires about 20 minutes daily. Whenever I am going out I stand for about 1-5 minutes in front of mirror. It is not that I am just standing in front of mirror, I check my hair style, then apply perfume that's it. bye
