Tip: Keep your bathroom mirror from fogging up
I don't know about you, but my morning routine has been crammed into the shortest amount of time possible. Which means there's no time to spare between showering and eye-makeup application to wait for my bathroom mirror to clear.
Luckily, I happened to find this easy and cheap tip -- seen recently again on Apartment Therapy -- to keep my mirror clear (and my eye-makeup evenly applied)!
Clean your mirror in the normal fashion, and dry thoroughly. Then, in a medium sized bowl (or your sink with the stopper in), mix hot water with a splash of vinegar (AT recommends two tablespoons of vinegar to a quart of water). Wipe this mixture over the parts of the mirror you want defogged, and let dry. You're done!
The de-fogging effect isn't permanent. It lasts about two weeks in my house, so I've added it to my regular cleaning regimen to help keep everything clear.

Another trick is to simply blow on the mirror with a hot hairdryer to defog it. 30 seconds or so will usually give you a large opening.
