The oxygen bar is not all its cracked up to be

So we take Grandma for her mother's day manicure and they tell us to feel free to use the oxygen bar while we are waiting.

Apparently the air we breathe only nets us 20% oxygen, but our own personal nasal cannula tubes will get us a whopping 65% when attached to the brightly colored bubbling beakers of scented oxygen.

Hey! It's free - why not?

Here are our choices.

1) Peppermint - energize
2) Lemongrass - clear the sinuses
3) Lavender - relaxing
4) Rosemary - clear the sinuses
5) Cinnamon - clarity of thought
6) Chocolate - forget what they said about this one

I choose lemon grass because I like lemon and the girl chooses peppermint.

Twenty minutes later we are both duly unimpressed and the girl is dizzy from breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Later we read we are supposed to do it for 30 minutes for full benefit.

Oh well - we live - we learn!
