How to Make Rosemary Lavender Bath Salts


Have I mentioned how much I love to pamper myself? Not that I get to do it often, but still, I can dream.  I don’t get to do “spa days” often (think maybe once a year, sigh.) Instead, I’ve found ways to make my own spa products for much less money. This Rosemary Lavender Bath salts recipe is so easy, with only four ingredients, but it smells great and feels so relaxing when mixed in with a bath.

You’ll need Epsom salts, rosemary AND lavender essential oil, cornstarch and if you want them to be colored, food coloring.

Step 1: To make the bath salts, pour one cup of Epsom salts into a medium bowl. Add 5 drops of each of the essential oils to the salts. If you like a stronger scent, feel free to add a few more drops. You can easily add up to ten drops.

Step 2: If you would like the bath salts to be colored, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the food coloring of your choice. We used yellow.  Stir the salts until the color is blended.  If you use the food coloring, allow 30 minutes to an hour for drying time. Spread the salts out on a piece of waxed paper for drying.

Step 3:  Stir in 1/4 cup cornstarch. Add the salts to 8 ounce mason jars.

These salts make great Christmas gifts during the holidays. Just add a tag and a pretty bow and you’re good to go.

Guest Bath: Before and After

Image
Happy New Year! There will be posts all over blogland about New Year’s resolutions and setting goals and all of that productive stuff, but I didn’t feel like talking about that today, so how about a fun Before and After?   We can get organized and make resolutions later.  Actually I’m not much of a resolutions girl. Now that Christmas is over,  I can finally get around to showing all my rooms since we jumped right into the Holidays just as I was getting finished up.  My roommate, Rhonda, uses this bathroom and I got it looking good for her.  She loves it and I’m really proud of how it came out, especially since I didn’t gut it, but worked with what I had.  I will probably give it a new vanity one day, but for now, I’m totally happy with it. Here’s a reminder of where this bathroom started.  Pretty blah and uninspiring and it definitely needed a little repair and painting. The After looks pretty darn good , I think.  It’s amazing what paint, adding beadboard and molding, rugs, painting ...
