One of my favorite ways to relax and unwind is to take a hot bath with homemade sea salts, which are extremely cheap and easy to make compared to what you would find prepackaged at the store. Here is a basic recipe that will make one cup of bath salts, but you can always increase it to make a larger batch.
Ingredients
1/3 c Epsom Salts
1/3 c Sea Salt
1/3 c Baking Soda
15-20 Drops of Essential Oil*
1. In a large bowl mix together equal parts of Epsom salts, sea salts, and baking soda.
2. Add the essential oil(s) of your choice. My favorite mix is equal parts of lavender, orange, and beramont. But you can always stick by with a simple blend of lavender. And if you are feeling adventurous, you can add some grounded up dried herbs* as well such as peppermint.
* Always make sure the essential oils and herbs you use are safe to use on the skin.

Thanks! Sounds great! I printed it out.
Great Blog! Fun to read!
Thanks for the advice, I guess maybe I do need to change the writing background. I like baths too – you can also try epsen salts in a bath – the magnesium absorbs the impurities in the skin.
Wow! Is that all it takes to make them? I guess I always assume something so devine has to be difficult! :0)
Thanks for the info!
