There are all sorts of tips and tricks that people use in order to enjoy their shower routines. If you’ve never heard about why you should attach a clothespin to the shower, you’re in for a treat.
With essential oil and a wooden clothespin, you can turn your shower into a luxurious experience that feels like you’re at a world-class spa.
Choose the Best Essential Oil
Depending on the kind of experience you want, you need to choose an essential oil that’s right for you. Some of this may depend on whether you want to take an invigorating morning shower or a relaxing evening shower.
Here are some popular essential oils:
- Lavender, which can aid in sleep and relaxation
- Chamomile, which is calming with an herbal scent
- Rose, which can reduce anxiety
- Vetiver, which offers a woody scent that can boost the mood.
- Citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit), which can be invigorating
Of course, if you have another favorite, go ahead and use it.

Apply the Oil
There’s a reason the clothespin should be wooden – so that it absorbs the oil. You don’t need to soak the clothespin. A few drops should do the trick. You can always reapply the oil for your next shower.
Then, clip it to your shower, as close to the showerhead as possible without it getting wet.
Enjoy the Magic!
As the steam from the hot water approaches the clothespin, it will release the scent. Think of it like a diffuser inside your shower.
Take a few deep cleansing breaths so you can truly appreciate the aroma.
