am I going to have to use two outlets to power my mirror?
Put one of these in. All your power needs and only one wire leading out of the mirror to one outlet.

@Mykle1 damn, hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!

I use a travel charger. It has an AC outlet for the monitor and a hefty USB socket for the Pi. Plus, you can plug other things into the USB sockets (such as LED lights).

Wish I had found this a while ago!!! BUT I will order one anyway!! :)

I like this idea, too. Question: Does it have a power switch of some kind? I ask because when I shut down my mirror there is still power to the Pi. In my case, that means the fan is still running. The power switch allows me to shut power to the mirror without pulling the plug and allows me to power on the mirror without having to plug it in.
