Start your day with some self-loving with the ELI (Eco Light Inside) mirror. The glow-in-the-dark digital mirror projects the ego-stroking message (or confidence-boosting mantra, however you like to see it) "I Love Me."
"The photo luminescent material creates a glowing effect similar to the glow in the dark stickers we all played around with as kids," New Launches explains. "If you feel low maybe a little bit of self love could help you out."
The glowing digital mirror, by Sotirios Papadopoulos, also comes in a Fingerprint version. Papadopoulos has previously been featured on Trend Hunter for his Full Moon Credenza which also uses photo luminescent material; see it below.
