How to choose a mirror for your bathroom

-

2013 is nearly over and – once the small matter of Christmas is out of the way – you’re probably looking ahead to 2014. A new year of new beginnings (in theory, at least).

Home renovations are always popular in the new year, with homeowners overhauling the look of their abode in the pursuit of ‘something different’. Bathroom renovations are particularly popular, being one of the easier and quicker (if not necessarily cheaper) home overhauls.

-

Yesterday (that’s October 19th 2013, future readers – hello, by the way), something truly remarkable happened – the word ‘selfie’ was named the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year, narrowly defeating ‘twerk’ (a topic for another time…or not).

The ‘selfie’ is a beautifully simple concept that involves a person taking a picture of their own face without the assistance of anyone else.
