Ah, a nice hot bath after a long day. Is there anything better? Probably, haha. But, for some of us during a hectic week it’s the best we are going to get.
Relax and unwind with this super easy bath salts soak recipe that will add the perfect ambiance to your well-deserved bath.
Making your own bath salts is a little bit more upfront than buying a single container, but you can make a lot more batches and customize each one to your specific preferences. Which is awesome because a budget is a budget. But a budget doesn’t mean you can’t give amazing and thoughtful gifts to your friends.
The best part of all in my opinion is you know exactly what’s in them. A lot of companies intentionally don’t disclose what’s in their products- scents, colorants, preservatives, etc because they are terrible and toxic for you. That’s why you can have total peace of mind making your own!
These make wonderful gifts for family and friends. If you know someone’s specific scent preferences you could handmake them the bath salts of their dreams! How thoughtful.
Customize these, have as much fun as you want! The possibilities are endless. Below I put some of my fave extras to add in, such as dried lavender buds, and dried eucalyptus and peppermint leaves!
