Helene Meldahl combines mirror selfies with her love of art

A few days ago my good friend Kim alerted me to this adorable artist on Instagram. I must've been living under a rock because I wasn't aware of her work. Well, better late than never.

Most girls are addicted to taking selfies, and Helene Meldahl is no exception. However, the 27-year-old Norwegian artist has taken the game to a whole new level. Her self-portraits are fresh, quirky, creative and they remind us all to have a little fun.

For more than two years, Helene (aka @mirrorsme) has been filling her IG account with unique mirror doodles. Using chalk, markers, and a little imagination, she creates delightful environments before snapping away. Initially drawing on mirrors with her lipstick to leave cute messages for her roommate, the drawings evolved from small to elaborate illustrations. Check out some of her clever selfies below.
