Bath salts:

1 1/2 cups - Kosher sea salt

¾ cup - Kosher table salt

¼ cup - Baking soda

1 or two – 1 quart jars. (You can make a scent for each jar)

2- 4 drops of Essential oils of your choice (lavender, orange, peppermint, etc.)

After trying to figure out what to bring as a gift to my sister-in-law after she had her second child this month, I decided bath salts might be nice for the momma. I knew she didn’t need any more clothes or toys at the moment. She has a toddler who decided to start potty training himself this last week while she balanced caring for a two week old. This momma needed a nap and a good warm relaxing bath. Hopefully, my brother will put both kids to sleep after making her a nice dinner. J

My first stop on my visit was my sister’s house.  Which turned out great! Her two little boys helped me whip up a triple batch. Two jars went into the goodie bag for our sister-in-law, and the other stayed with them. The boys will use it in their next big bath. My sister is looking forward to sharing hers with some friends that are also moms. 

The bath salts went over great with my sister-in –law!

 

While I was visiting, I had an afternoon with my eldest niece who is 9 ½ yrs old. She and I had a mini pedicure session after we whipped up a double batch of bath salts. We soaked our feet in the amazing bath salts while we gave each other a pedicure. She took home the other jars to share with her mom. Super Fun!  Of course we ate ice cream to go with our pedicures.
