But what if I need to brush my hair? Sam encounters #mirrorlessmonday

Sam B

It’s #mirrorlessmonday at the University of Guelph.

What’s that?

“Mirrorless Mondays: A campaign to promote and educate the University of Guelph community about positive body image, self-love, and Health At Every Size.”

Some, but not all, of the mirrors in our university centre washrooms are covered over with paper featuring body positive messages.

I like it! Does your school or workplace take part in mirrorless Mondays?

  1. I like the concept, but covering the mirror, to me (and I may just be seeing this all wrong) seems to reinforce the idea that women don’t want to look at themselves, so let’s hide what we look like?

    1. It’s just striking, a good way to get your attention. I’m glad they didn’t cover all the mirrors. I had a meeting with the Provost and messy hair!
