Make Your Own Bath Salts
Basic Bath Salts
A few drops of essential oils lets you create your own bath salts. Alter the scents to alter your mood. Lavender is soothing, while peppermint will wake you up!
- 1 cup Epsom salts
- 1 cup sea salt
- a few drops essential oils of your choice
This can be a fun one for kids to mix up and give as gifts to family and teachers.
If you cannot find essential oils at a local store, I found them to be quite affordable at drugstore.com, inc. (Affiliate link: I do make a bit of money if you follow that link and buy them there.)
