What you’ll need
1 cup Epsom Salt. You can order here.
1 cup Himalayan Sea Salt. Here.
1-3 Tablespoons of Dried Flower petals {optional}. Here.
Glass test tubes. Here. There is nothing like gorgeous packaging <3 I used these.
10-20 drops of Essential oils. I use Young Living and order through a friend. You can order it here
Mix equal parts Epsom salt and Himalayan salt (depending on how big you want your batch to be.)
I love the way the pink Himalayan salt looks because the crystals are a bit bigger.
Mix 3 tablespoons dried flower petals per cup of salt.
I try to include my littles in projects like this because they love it so much.
Add 5 drops of your preferred essential oil per cup of salt. I used a combination of different scents.
You can also use empty oil bottles. The salt will draw the left over oil out of the bottle. I just took the caps off and tipped them in the salt for a bit.
Mix until combined then pour in your test tube.
Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!! <3
