The Gift of Relaxation


Is it weird that mason jars make me so happy?


Homemade bath salts are one of my favorite go-to gifts.  They are easy to make, inexpensive, but still have a homemade touch.  We always have the ingredients in the house, and enough mason jars to give away, so they are a great last minute gift idea.  I've given them as stocking-stuffers, to new moms, to brides-to-be or to friends who just deserve a little something.





Here's what you need to know.  You could do this with just epsom salts and your favorite essential oil.  I like to add some variety by also using baking soda and Himalayan Pink Salt.  Check out the recipes below...


Tell me that is not the biggest thing of baking soda you have ever seen.
Grapefruit and Himalayan Pink Salt
1 and 1/2 cups of Epsom Salt
1/2 a cup of Himalayan Pink Salt
6 drops of grapefruit essential oil

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until combined. 


Lavender Detox
1 and 3/4 cups of Epsom salts
3 Tablespoons of baking soda
6 drops of lavender essential oil

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until combined.
