Lemon + salt in the room
⏱️ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Slice the Top 🔪
Place your lemon or lime on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top quarter of the fruit to reveal the juicy segments inside, creating a little cup or bowl out of the fruit itself. Alternative option: You can also slice the lemon into quarters or an “X” shape without cutting all the way through to let it bloom open.
2. Fill to the Brim 🧂✨
Place the sliced fruit onto your small glass dish or coaster so it stands upright. Pour your coarse sea salt directly onto the exposed surface of the fruit, filling the top area generously. The salt will immediately interact with the citrus juices, activating the natural deodorizing process.
3. Strategic Placement 🛏️💨
Set the dish in your bedroom, office, or living room. For the best aromatic results, place it somewhere with slight airflow—like a nightstand near a window, a desk near your computer fan, or a bathroom counter.
