Making my own bath salts

I've been reading the Parsimonius Princess blog and loving all the frugal tips in it.

One recipe she provided is for bath salts.

Here are the ingredients:
  1. 1 part baking soda
  2. 3 parts Epsom salt
  3. 6 parts sea salt or kosher salt
  4. 10 drops of essential oil
  5. a few drops of food coloring
I can't wait to make this. She recommends making it into gifts, which I agree with. However, this becomes one more product for Nature Isle Farm!!! yipee!

Nice Skin product recipe



I honestly think that this recipe and the resulting product make sense for the face.

MAKING MORE ESSENTIALS...

Today, I was able to make a new bottle of body/hair oil, moisture mix for hair, and three containers of body balm.

The body balm consisted of
  1. 1/3 coconut oil
  2. 1/3 olive oil
  3. grapeseed oil
  4. castor oil
  5. black castor oil
  6. 6 drops clove bud oil
  7. 6 drops lavender oil
  8. jojoba oil
They are currently in the pantry where I hope they will solidify. If they don't...well, I'll be able to use them as body/hair oil. They are in old Jason body cream containers.
