Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist Review

I bought this for my sister for her birthday in September, and of course I tried it out first!  I liked it so much that months later when asked what I wanted for my birthday, I had to add it to my bday list.

What is it?
The Pillow Mist sold by Bath and Body Works is just what it sounds like - a mist for your pillow!  They come in various scents and each scent is supposed to help you in a certain way due to the aromatherapy quality.  I bought Lavender Vanilla - which is the Sleep variety.  "Lavender soothes and calms the nerves to relieve tension. Vanilla soothes away stress."  That sounds like a great way to help you fall asleep doesn't it?

How does it work?
You simply spritz it on your pillow and allow it to dry before bed.  When you lay down at night you will suddenly smell the fantastic scent!  I love the smell of lavender and I do believe it soothes me when I breath it in.  I spritz it all over my pillow and for about a week I don't have to reapply.  Generally I just re-spritz after I wash my sheets.  The small glass bottle should last you a long time, which is good because it cost $10.

Why I like it
Every time I spray this on my pillow, I do feel like I'm able to relax quicker and fall asleep easier.  I don't know if these ingredients really work the way they claim, but I do know that I enjoy closing my eyes and concentrating on the good smell.  Then I drift off with less trouble then I have when my pillow isn't spritzed. 

The smell is subtle enough that it doesn't make the whole room smell.  If you are worried your husband will be annoyed by it, don't be!  My husband has yet to even mention the smell and he always mentions things like that.  When you first spray it, the room does smell for a few minutes, but once the pillow dries, you'll find you have to actually lay your head on the pillow to notice the smell.

So buy it!
Get this for yourself, your spouse, your daughters, or your friends.  Spray it on your pillow before bed to help you drift into sleep a little quicker!  Spray it on your guest pillows too!  I'm sure they'll enjoy it.  This is a really cool idea and many girls and women out there would probably love this.  Enjoy!!
