With the Moen® Aromatherapy Handshower With INLY™ Shower Capsules, you can make this dream a reality. This innovative showerhead transforms your daily shower into a spa-like experience that will help you relax, rejuvenate, and reinvigorate.

Benefits of Aromatherapy Showers

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses essential oils to improve physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils are concentrated extracts of plants that contain powerful therapeutic properties.

When inhaled or applied to the skin, essential oils can have a variety of benefits, including:

Reducing stress and anxiety
Improving mood and relaxation
Boosting energy levels
Relieving pain and inflammation
Promoting better sleep
Strengthening the immune system

How the Moen® Aromatherapy Handshower Works

The Moen® Aromatherapy HandShower is equipped with a special chamber that holds INLY™ Shower Capsules. These capsules are filled with 100% pure, natural essential oils. To use the aromatherapy feature, simply insert a capsule into the chamber and turn on the shower. The water will flow through the capsule, releasing the essential oils into the air.

You can customize the aromatherapy experience by selecting your preferred level of fragrance. The handshower has four settings: high, medium, low, and off. You can also choose to use the aromatherapy feature only occasionally, or for the entire duration of your shower.

INLY Shower Capsules are made in France and contain 100% pure, natural essential oils. Each capsule is designed to last for one shower and is available in a variety of spa-inspired fragrances, including:

Zen Time: A blend of lavender, vanilla, and tea tree, essential oils that promotes relaxation and helps you unwind after a long day.
Energetic Morning: A blend of lemon, cistus, and scots pine, essential oils that invigorates and refreshes your mind and body.
Sweet Morning: A blend of geranium, vanilla, and Red Berries, essential oils that harmonizes your body and mind.
Tropical Day: A blend of Lemongrass, neroli, and vanilla, essential oils that will pump up your day, with the sweet fragrances of the islands.

To use the Moen® Aromatherapy Hand shower, simply follow these steps:

Place an INLY Shower Capsule in the designated chamber.
Turn on the shower and adjust the water temperature to your liking.
Select your desired spray setting.
Enjoy your aromatherapy shower!

Tips for using aromatherapy showers:

Choose essential oils that you enjoy and that offer the benefits you’re looking for.
Start with a low intensity of fragrance and gradually increase it to your liking.
Be mindful of your skin type. Some essential oils can be irritating to the skin, especially if used in high concentrations.
Be sure to clean your Moen® Aromatherapy Handshower regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have any concerns, be sure to talk to your doctor before using aromatherapy showers.

The Moen® Aromatherapy Handshower With INLY™ Shower Capsules is a great way to elevate your shower routine and experience the benefits of aromatherapy. With its patented INLY™ Technology and a variety of spa-inspired fragrances to choose from, you can create a truly personalized shower experience.

What Goes into a Bathroom Remodel?

May 16, 2023

This is a quick outline of the steps of a Master Bath Project:

THE PLAN

First you need to decide what aspects of your existing space you like and don’t. Think about what you would like to keep and what you would like to add.
Next, set up estimates with at least 3 reputable companies, such as JJ Kokesh and Son. Take this time to go over all of your wishes for the new bathroom so that the estimator can create the most accurate bid.
When you receive the bids you will want to read them over carefully and decide if they addressed all of your design requirements. Choose the company that works the best with your design and your budget.
Sign your estimate and contact your contractor to begin choosing all of the products for your remodel.

DESIGN TIME

The next step (by far our favorite) is choose all of the elements you will need for the remodel – such as faucets, tile, vanities, wall color, and flooring.
We always recommend as a first step for our clients to choose 10-20 pictures from the internet that inspire them or reflects what they want in their bathroom and send those to us.
With a good sense of what design the client is looking for, we begin to choose faucets, vanities, wall color, lighting, tile, flooring, and shower trim.
We have a great selection of showrooms all over St. Louis to send clients to choose fixtures, tile, tubs, and lighting.
Lastly, we offer recommendations to designers we work closely with for those clients that want or need more assistance in the design process.

Once all of the design elements are chosen, we begin to plan the actual timeline of the remodel by:

Ordering all of the parts
Obtaining a permit
Scheduling with the Contractor

Photos are from a master bath remodel in Webster Groves with ES Construction Services. We updated the pipe size to accommodate the new bathroom and integrated it with their existing boiler system.

DEMOLITION and INSTALL

– Both the Plumber and Contractor work during this time to remove all the design elements that won’t be in the final project.

– The Plumber will then begin to run the new water and drain lines per the new layout – this is also a great time to upgrade any old plumbing since all of the wall are open. They will also set any showers or bathtubs.

– Next, the inspector will come and inspect all of the initial plumbing and work the contractor has done such as electricity and new walls or layout.

– The contractor will then begin working on:

Moving electricity
Drywall
Building out new walls or finishing the changes to layout
Laying the floor
Setting tile

– Another inspection will happen after all of this has been completed to make sure everything is to code and installed correctly.

– The Plumber will come back and begin the finish work, such as:

Setting the vanity, hooking up drains, and installing the faucet
Connect all of the shower & tub trim
Set the toilet
Final test on all of the water and connections

– The contractor will do his final work such as installing lighting, finish trim, painting and hanging all shelves and hooks.
– Then the inspector will be called for the final inspection.

Lastly – ENJOY your new bathroom!
