I have a mirror in my home that I, uh, really want to replace. And I’ve been thinking about, uh, getting a new one for a while. I didn’t actually throw it away because of its sentimental value because I bought that mirror when I was a kid with my dad. Uh, we were renovting our house, and I only got to choose my mirror because I was a kid and my parents knew that I wouldn’t like, um, that decoration when I grew up. And they were right, actually, because that mirror is, um, not fitting in, uh, my room’s aesthetic right now. Uh, because its frame is, uh, in pink and it has purple dots on it. It’s rectangular. And now I don’t like rectangular shaped, um, stuff in my room. I really want to replace it for two reasons. First, I don’t like, uh, its look and its appearance. It really ruins the vibe of the room because I redecorated my room five years ago again. And now my room is in white, uh, and green colors. And the pink mirror doesn’t really fit in. And the second reason is it really got scratched and, uh, chipped over time. And now it has spots, uh, on it. It has different stains. And it’s hard for me to clean it every day as I have a lot going on right now. Uh, so I want to get a minimalistic, um, mirror that, uh, and I want it to be white in frame. And actually, I think plastic would be a good choice because it doesn’t require cleaning every day. Ah. So I want to change my mirror in, like, two months because I have to, um, save some money for it. And I have to do research to find a, uh, good mirror that’s also cheap and also good in quality.

I have a mirror in my home that I really want to replace. I've been thinking about getting a new one for a while now. I haven't actually thrown it away because of its sentimental value. I bought it when I was a kid with my dad. We were renovating our house, and I got to choose my own mirror because I was a kid, and my parents knew I wouldn't like the decoration when I grew up. And they were right, actually, because that mirror doesn't fit in with my room's aesthetic anymore. The frame is pink and has purple dots on it. It's rectangular, and I don't like rectangular shapes in my room anymore. I really want to replace it for two reasons. First, I don't like its look and appearance. It really ruins the vibe of the room because I redecorated my room five years ago. Now my room is in white and green colors, and the pink mirror doesn't fit in. The second reason is that it's really scratched and chipped over time. It has spots and stains on it, and it's hard for me to clean it every day with everything going on in my life. So I want to get a minimalistic mirror with a white frame. I think plastic would be a good choice because it doesn't require daily cleaning. I want to change my mirror in about two months because I need to save some money for it. I also need to do some research to find a good mirror that's cheap and high quality.
