She captioned the post: “Oh god let this be a lesson to us all! I just got home and could smell burning from upstairs..
“My vanity mirror I use everyday and leave everyday on my dresser must have been in direct sun light and it’s burnt and melted my window frame with the reflection of the sun.
“So so lucky I came home when I did… god knows what could have happened!”
