- This feels very intimate.
I would think, of all the BuzzFeed videos I've done,
I've never brought you guys inside my shower.
(rock music)
- I was sitting at the bar the other day,
and this girl was telling me that she was very stressed out
so she had an orange in the shower
which completely took me by surprise.
And I was very intrigued by it.
And, apparently, last year people were doing this.
There was a lot of articles talking about this,
so I figured, why don't we actually try it?
- I've never heard of this,
but I'm very excited to do it because I love oranges.
I love citrus.
I also love hot showers.
- I've done a shower tea, which is very nice,
just having a nice warm tea in the shower.
I've also taken like eucalyptus essential oil
and just dropped it in my shower,
and that is actually very pleasant.
- I definitely think this is going to be weird
because I just like to go in my shower really quick,
do my thing, and then leave.
Especially because I'll be eating an orange
which I don't like to eat anyways.
- I'll buy into any, like, self-care bullshit
'cause I'm like basic ass white girl.
But, like, what is this supposed to do?
(rock music)
- Ideally, first thing in the morning,
grab the orange from the fridge, so it has to be cold.
- Get the hot shower ready, which is no problem.
- With the water running over you,
begin to peel the orange with your hands.
- Do not worry about the juices getting on you.
Be messy, actually.
Oh.
- Let's do this, question mark.
- I'm grabbing my cold orange from the fridge,
I'm getting the shower nice and warm.
- Okay,
(water running)
doing it.
(water running)
- Ah, fuck.
- There is something very satisfying about
peeling something
and just throwing the rinds down.
(water running)
(cheerful music)
- Oh, smells instantly much better in here.
And my shower already smells pretty good.
(water running)
- I know I'm supposed to peel the orange,
but my other hand is holding the phone,
so I think I'm just gonna like pack it off.
(water running)
(cheerful music)
- The contrast of the cold orange
and the warm shower is very pleasant.
- Really messy, like, the juice is running down my arms,
but because I'm in the shower,
I don't care about being messy.
I can just rinse it off.
- Mmmmm.
(water running)
- I did it.
(water running)
(cheerful music)
- Hmmm.
- Completely unchanged.
I feel neither sexy or relaxed.
I just feel full.
- I thought it was a pretty cool activity, however,
I wouldn't do that often
because it felt like a waste of water
and then I had to clean up the orange peels
and that sorta thing.
Other than that, I thought it was pretty cool,
and I did find it to be very relaxing.
- I actually really enjoyed having that citrus smell
while I was peeling the orange in the shower.
It was very soothing, very relaxing to have that smell.
- Feels like you're eating an orange in the shower.
There wasn't anything transcendent about that for me.
I mean it's kind of cool to have something like cold
in a hot shower, I guess, but like that's pretty minor.
- I like it, and I would try it again.
- I'm actually very curious to try it again,
but with another fruit that I like.
Since I am not crazy about oranges,
I think I'll like this a lot better
while I'm eating a strawberry or raspberry.
