Hey everybody,

I don’t know about you but I’m certainly in need of a retreat already and its only March. Although I would like to just jet off to some exotic island and relax, I’m needed here at home and I do have an 8-5 that I kinda need to show up to on Monday. So to bring this fantasy closer to some sort of reality, I make my Sunday bath time a huge production in relaxation.

I choose Sundays because it’s my day to reset and get ready for the week ahead. Your workweek might look a little different from mine so choose a day or time that works for you.

So once I’ve finished any chores and cooking for the day, I make sure my bath “experience” is in the evening around 7pm. I gather everything I need like my cell phone, blue tooth speaker, candles, sparkling beverage, and any other bath time accessories. While the bath water is running, I light candles around the tub to create the mood lighting. I find a relaxing playlist of Jazz or Spa Sounds on youtube and lock the door. I’ve picked up several fun face masks and have turned into a major Bath Salt and Bath Bomb girl. I’ve even gotten my husband a few of them. What better way to soak away your troubles and get ready for whatever the week has to bring.

On my journey to finding the perfect bath experience I stumbled across this Bath Salts recipe you can try at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 Cup Epsom Salt

• 1/4 Cup Baking Soda

• 1 Tbsp of Jojoba Oil

• 20 Drops of White Tea Ginger Essential Oil

• 20 Drops of Rosemary Essential Oil

• 2 Tbsp of Dried Lavender

• 2 Tbsp of Dried Rosebuds

Here’s how to do it!

In a large bowl:

1. Combine your Epsom Salt and Baking Soda and mix well.

2. Add the jojoba oil and stir until blended

3. Add a few drops of the colorant of your choice. I chose a grape violet to give it the soft blue tint

4. Add the essential oils and continue to blend

Finally add your dried lavender and rosebuds!

Now find a cute container to put your creation in and you’re done!! This combination smells so good and I hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

Until next time,

-K
