Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...

I've noticed that as I have gotten older I am becoming more of a girly girl in the sense that my apperance is something I am putting more focus on.  I give myself weekly facials, experiment with fashion, put more effort into the way my hair looks (i've relied on ponytails way too much in the past!), and over all mirror time has increased.  Does this mean that as I get older I become more vain or just a shift in priorities?  Have you noticed a difference in your mirror?
