Simple but Elegant Bath Salts

1/2 pound Epsom Salts
1/2 pound Baking Soda
1/2 pound Sea Salt
1/2 tablespoon Sweet Almond Oil or Jojoba Oil or Oil of your choice
1 - 2 teaspoons essential oil(s)

Mix all ingredients in large bowl and then knead with hands until well blended.
You only have to let this mix dry out a couple hours before pouring it into fancy jars, labeling it, and tieing it all up with a pretty bow to give away to a dear friend.

Awesome Moisturizing Bath Crystals

2 cups Sea salt
1 cup Kosher Salt
2 Tablespoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon Glycerin
1/2 Teaspoon vitamin E oil
Essential Oils or fragrance oil

Mix all ingredients together well, add your Essential Oils (say 10 drops or so). Let the mixture firm up for about 3 days - or at least 2 days at the least. Now, just draw a warm bath, pour about 1/2 cup of these AWESOME Moisturizing Crystals into the running water, and enjoy! Or, pour into a clear fancy bottle, tie a fancy ribbon on the neck, and give as a gift!

Now here’s a really neat gift idea! Easy to make and much appreciated by friends and family:

Ingredients:

Mason jars or decorative jars (usually found at 2nd hand stores or Wallyworld)
Dried herbs from your garden (or store)
Sea Salt

Just miss a combination of the dried herbs with salt and pour into jars. Decorate the jar and let it ’stew’ in the cupboard for a week or so before you give it to a family friend or loved one. There are a lot of various ideas of herbs or combinations you can use… from unusual spices/herbs to the more common ones that everyone knows about.

Simple, frugal and easy!
