Slightly more so for women than men, it's the time spent in front of the mirror that might need the greatest reduction in order to have you leave the house on time. [Blink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blink-eye) by Twodesigners is a lighthearted looking glass that integrates a hidden backdrop, ideally displayed when you've taken too long fixing your hair.

At a few inches deep, a lovely wooden frame holds a rear panel and a reflector in front, providing a functional wall-mounted surface for observing your own image. Should a partner or family member remark that you're running behind schedule as you shave or apply your makeup, he might press a button in the side of Blink by Twodesigners, revealing a ticking clock and a message that reads "Hurry Up!"
