soothing bath soak


A couple years ago I shared how to make your own chocolate peppermint bath salts and today I've got another great bath product for you!


I love making my own bath products, it's so simple and they make great gifts!  The combination of lavender and oatmeal make this soothing bath soak a relaxing way to end any day. Oatmeal has amazing benefits for your skin and is something that most everyone already has in their kitchen! I like to grind mine up fine in my food processor before adding to my bath salts, you receive more of the benefits that way.

  • 2 cups of bath salts
  • 1 cup of oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup of lavender buds
  • 10 drops of lavender essential oils


These bath salts in Mason jars would make such pretty gifts, and look so nice sitting out on your bathroom counter. :) You could even set up a little make-your-bath-salt station for a fun girl's night in like I did for my Favorite Things party last year!

      Every once in awhile you've just got to soak in a bath... my husband doesn't get it. Poor guy is missing out. :)

    I can't wait to try this! I took a bath on Valentines' Day for the first time in such a long time, I forgot how much I loved them!
