Wow!
These are great resources...
Here's my contribution: (Fancy Bath Salts; my sister gave it the name below) Relaxation Potion 1 part Baking Soda 2 parts Epsom Salts Lavender Essential Oil - until you reach the desired scent Eucalyptus Essential Oil - until you reach the desired scent Rosemary Essential Oil - until you reach the desired scent You can add colorant as well. I suggest the one available at M's. I usually just leave mine white. It's the scent that I love... don't need any color. I usually put two or three times the amount of lavender than the eucalyptus and/or rosemary. Mix all the ingredients in a metal bowl with a metal spoon and spoon into your jars... you can use anything from pint on up It is so lovely. Maybe it can be grouped in a basket with other bath items: a washcloth, lotion, etc. |
wow, I think all my ideas have already been posted so if they are repeats so sorry.....I'm also thinking there are mixes out there that you can make a bunch and then scoop enough into a pint jar--so portion sizing--like for drink mixes, seasonings etc
