Okay so listen — I’m not gonna act like this little bottle of spray is some magical potion that’ll solve all your problems. It won’t pay your bills. It won’t text your crush back for you. And it definitely won’t stop your mom from yelling when the Wi-Fi goes out. BUT.
It does make life feel, like, 10% better.
And sometimes, that’s all we need.
So let’s talk about my current obsession: peppermint essential oil spray.
She’s simple. She’s fresh. She’s like a cold breeze on a stressful day.
And honestly? She’s kind of become a personality trait for me now.
Wait, Wait… What Is Peppermint Spray?
Okay, real quick — it’s literally just peppermint essential oil mixed with water and a teeny bit of witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. That’s Pour it into a spray bottle, give it a good shake, and boom — you’ve got a cool, minty spray that helps you feel fresh and awesome!
It’s like if Vicks had a hot cousin who wore cool outfits and always smelled amazing. That’s peppermint spray.
How I Use It (aka How I’m Now That Girl Who Sprays Everything)
Let me give you the run-down — not the aesthetic version. Just the real stuff.
1. When My Brain’s a Hot Mess
You know those days when your mind feels really busy, like having lots of windows open on a computer, and one of them is playing music but you don’t know where it is? That’s me daily.
I just spray this stuff in the air, take a deep breath, and suddenly it’s like my thoughts line up and go: “Okay boss, we’re ready to work now.”
2. When My Room Smells Like Regret
Did I forget to do laundry? Yes.
Did I eat chips in bed again? Yes.
Does my room smell like a gremlin lives in it? Kinda.
Like "oh wow, someone here uses essential oils anJust one spray — yes, only one — and everything suddenly feels better and smells amazing! drinks lemon water." Lol.
That’s the little story I tell, and it really works!
3. When I Need to Feel Like I Have My Life Together
There’s something about spritzing a fancy-smelling mist on your pillow or your face or literally anything and pretending like, “Yes, I’m thriving. I go to therapy. I own matching socks.”
4. When I Get That ‘Ugh’ Feeling
You know when your body just feels bleh? Like, heavy and tired and kinda cranky for no reason? That’s when I spray this on the back of my neck and arms and just sit there like some kind of exhausted Greek goddess.Minus the sugar crash.
5. BUGS HATE HER
No seriously — bugs absolutely can’t stand peppermint. One spray on your legs, arms, or windows and those little flying freeloaders go, “no thanks” and leave you alone. This spray is the reason I can sit outside in peace now. Bless.
Okay but How Do I Make This Thing?
It’s literally so easy I could teach it to a goat. Here’s what you need:
🧴 Stuff:
1 spray bottle (preferably one that makes you feel aesthetic, even if you’re not)
1 cup water (distilled if you’re fancy, regular if you’re lazy like me)
1 tablespoon witch hazel or rubbing alcohol (helps mix the oil with water)
10–20 drops peppermint essential oil (sniff test: do what feels right)
💃 Steps:
Add water.
Add witch hazel.
Drop that peppermint in like you’re seasoning a vibe.
Spray it. Breathe. Be cool.
But Let Me Be Your Dramatic Friend for a Sec:
Okay. A few things you need to know before you get too excited and spray this in your eyeballs or something.
❌ Don’t use it on babies or pets. They are too soft and innocent for peppermint.
❌ Do a patch test. We love skincare that doesn’t give us rashes, thanks.
✅ Use real essential oil. Not some fake “mint fragrance” from the dollar store. No shade, but also… some shade.
Last Words Before I Go Re-Spray My Couch Again
Look. This isn’t some overpriced, overhyped miracle product. It’s just a little DIY minty mist that makes things suck less.
You’ll use it when you’re tired.
When you’re sweaty.
When your room smells off.
When you’re stressed.
When you’re about to throw hands with life.
And somehow, it’ll help.
I don’t know how to explain it. It just… works. And it feels good. And that’s enough for me.
So yeah. Make yourself a bottle. Spray it. Smell like a fresh breeze. Pretend you’re at a spa, even if you’re literally sitting on the bathroom floor eating instant noodles.
You deserve to feel a little better. Even if it’s just with some peppermint and water. 💚
Wanna add glitter? Make a cute label? Gift it to your friend who always smells like mystery? Do it. There’s no rules here, babe.
This is your minty world now. We’re just living in it. 😌
