One of my new favorite blogs is called Rawmazing. In a fairly recent post she listed a recipe for Stress Relief for the Winter Blues which included Epsom salt, coarse sea salt and essential oils. I decided to give it a try because.....I have a new bathroom!
Ok so I just painted a wall and got some new towels and mats but it feels like a new bathroom. Like a spa bathroom.
Mainly because it's so clean and there are no toys, Tylenol bottles and lipstick tubes strewn about. I expect it will stay clean at least through the week.
I looked on line and there were so many additions you could make. A few included:
Food coloring
Castile soap
Avocado oil
Any other oil
Baking Soda
Citric Acid
Borax
Glycerin
I decided to go with the essential oils that were listed on Rawmazing and add in a bit of olive oil for moisture.
Spa Soak
Ingredients
1 cup Epsom salt
Hanful of Kosher or sea salt
2 Tbsp bath oil, I used olive oil
Essential oils:
8 drops peppermint
4 drops eucalyptus
4 drops lavender
Directions
1. Mix all ingredients together in a small jar.
2. Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup into running bath water.
p.s. I just tried out the spa soak last night and it was amazing. The oil makes you feel silky and the essential oils are like aromatherapy. Very relaxing. I hope you enjoy!

oooh I love your bathroom, so pretty!
Thank you! It looks so much better with just the new pictures, towels and one wall painted. Like a whole new bathroom but on a budget! I meant to take a "before" photo and forgot.
What a refreshing idea. I love a good soak and have never thought to make my own bath products. I love it!
