Jenna Ortega reveals what she does to achieve ‘mental clarity’ and it’s ‘awkward’
Jenna Ortega featured on Vogue’s recent “In The Bag” episode, walking viewers through the items she tends to carry with her. Like most, the actor’s go-to items included the basics, like a wallet, sunglasses, a journal, a book, and more.
However, one interesting product that the 22-year-old revealed was a bottle of Persephenie Smelling Salts. The “Wednesday” star shared that she recently got this item from her makeup artist.
Ortega added that the smelling salts are meant to help with mental clarity. She candidly stated that using the product is a “bit awkward.” She noted that if people aren’t aware of its usage, they can find it quite “suspicious.” However, the actor continued that it is “just salts” and shared that it “feels like a shot of espresso.”
The “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” actor further explained why she had been using the product. She revealed that she gets “brain fog really easily.” Ortega continued, “I get very confused when I’m tired and whatnot.” She then stated that the smelling salts are “actually really beneficial” for her.
Furthermore, Ortega revealed another interesting item in her bag. She shared she had been carrying a harmonica in her bag as of late. The actor explained that she began practicing as she thought she was going to “need” it for a job.
However, she noted that the project ended up going in a “very different creative direction.” Nonetheless, Jenna Ortega may have added a new skill to her belt. Other items in her bag included a Death Grips hat, headphones, eyedrops, and more.
