Another frustration came to light (hah) last night: I was on an overnight trip to YOW and ended up at the downtown Sheraton. A magnifying mirror was thoughtfully provided...

positioned in JUST the right spot so that your face was backlit when trying to use it. Argh. So many bathrooms have absolutely abysmal lighting! Everything's top down, or from behind, making applying a little make-up next to impossible. I almost always end up plunked down on the floor near the window instead!
