So the only cord I have is the single power cord going into the monitor.

USB ports are powered strongly enough for the Pi, and it powers the monitor via the AC plug.

Only downside: the cord itself is only about 4 feet long. So if your mirror isn’t going right over an electrical outlet, you may have to wire in an extension cord yourself.

Monitor cord and pi power supply are stored inside the mirror housing
