We’re always on board trying out new hacks around the house, especially when they make a standard shower feel like a trip to the spa. Which is why we’re off to track down sprigs of eucalyptus right now. Because, according to Pinterest, hanging the stuff in your bathroom is the next big thing.

We had a special VIP come to stay at our house (aka my mom.) I made this eucalyptus bouquet for her shower instead of a flower bouquet I would normally do for her room. Details #ontheblog 🌿💚 (link in profile) #theunexpected #eucalyptusshower #eucalyptus #nofussmama

The idea is simple: gather the fresh herbs and tie the stems together, then secure it behind your showerhead and out of the direct stream of water.

It’s not all about the style cred though, it also boasts a heap of health benefits.

Happy Earth Day!! Enjoy and protect all of the wonderful things Mother Nature has to offer. We only have one planet and it's our duty to take care of it 💚🌏

The steam (and heat) releases the essential oils in the herbs, which helps to fight brain fog and stress, acts as a decongestant, boosts the immune system and wakes you up in the morning too. And for the night-time showerers among us, you can swap the eucalyptus for dried lavender (an epic relaxant).

If you don’t have access to the real stuff (and foraging for it isn’t your jam), a few drops of essential oils in a dish will also work a treat.
