Sweet Dreams Shower Spray

Aromatherapy Bliss in a Bottle

Let’s face it: not everyone has the time (or patience) for a bubble bath. Enter the shower spray—the bath bomb’s cooler, more efficient sibling. No worrying about slippery debris underfoot, and you still get all the aromatherapy benefits. It’s like a spa experience for your shower, minus the cleanup.

Before we dive in, here’s a quick disclaimer: I’m not a licensed aromatherapist, doctor, or any other sort of certified professional. I’m just a lover of good smells and solid sleep. Please be mindful of allergies and reactions—your skin and nose will thank you!

Aromatherapy Benefits of Each Ingredient

• Lavender Essential Oil: Lavender isn’t just your sleepy-time bestie—it’s also antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial, making it perfect for purifying the air in your steamy oasis. Its calming properties are thanks to compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate, which interact with your brain to ease stress and encourage restful sleep.

• Vanilla Extract: Vanilla’s warm, luxurious scent can help ease restlessness and anxiety. To me, it smells like luxury in a bottle. Plus, it adds a touch of indulgence to your nightly routine.

• Coconut Extract: Coconut extract is more than a tropical treat—it’s known to enhance mood and relaxation. It’s like a mini mental vacation every time you take a whiff.

The Recipe Ingredients:

For a 3 oz plastic spray bottle (usually I recommend glass, but

• 20 drops of lavender essential oil

• 1-3 teaspoons of vanilla extract

• 1-2 teaspoons of coconut extract

• Vodka (or grain alcohol) to fill the bottle

Instructions:
