Billie Eilish has opened about an activity that she likes to do in front of the mirror.
The musician warned that her confession might come across as 'TMI' for some people, but remained unapologetic about how she blows off steam.
Despite her 'TMI' warning, Eilish was unapologetic in making it clear that she has desires and wants of her own, hoping that by sharing her activity, it will help break stigma around body image.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish opened about how she takes self love to another level.
Eilish was honest and frank about her desires and sexuality, telling Rolling Stone she'd be happy to have her 'face in a vagina', as well as opening up about how important 'self pleasure' is to her.
It's not just a case of unwinding or relaxing after a stressful day, the Oscar-winner explained that for her it's also about building a positive relationship with herself and her body.
If you hadn't guessed already, Eilish revealed that this means sometimes engaging in a spot of 'self love' in front of a mirror.
While that's undoubtedly a good way to de-stress, for Eilish it also had a deeper significance, in addition to just being 'hot'.
Explaining why she does it, she said: "Partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had."
"I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful…"
She added: "I have learned that looking at myself and watching myself feel pleasure has been an extreme help in loving myself and accepting myself, and feeling empowered and comfortable."
Eilish opened up about how female desire and sexuality is often demonised, shamed, fetishised, or pathologised by society.
This included speaking about her own experience about how being comfortable and unapologetic in her sexuality and desire has sometimes left people 'uncomfortable'.
"My experience as a woman has been... It’s seen in such a weird way," she said. "People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it.
She added: "I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change.
"You asked me what I do to decompress? That sh*t can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real."
