There are all kinds of tips and tricks that people use to enjoy their shower routines. If you’ve never heard of why you should attach a clothespin to the shower, you’re in for a treat.
With essential oil and a wooden clothes peg, 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 should choose an essential oil that is 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 help with sleep and relaxation
- Chamomile, which is calming with an herbal scent
- Rose, which can reduce anxiety
- Vetiver, which provides a woody scent that can boost mood.
- Citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit), which can be invigorating
Of course, if you still have a favorite, go ahead and use it.

Apply the oil
There is a reason why the clothespin has to be made of wood – 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 shower head as possible without getting it wet.
Enjoy the magic!
As the steam from the hot water approaches the clothespin, it will release the smell. Think of it like a diffuser in your shower.
Take a few deep cleansing breaths so you can truly appreciate the aroma.
