Shimmery lavender salt soak just like the spa! This bath salt recipe is easy and so luxurious! Makes a great DIY gift idea too.
I think my favorite thing about Minnesota winters is that it is perfectly acceptable to take a hot bath every. single. night because it is so darn cold outside and the need to get warm to the bone is real! I LOVE taking hot baths and one thing I MUST have in every bath is some sort of bath salts. I have been making my own bath salt recipe variations for years and they take my baths to the next level and really give a spa experience in the comfort of my own home (without the spa price tag!).

Combine 1/3 cup epsom salt, 1 tablespoon dried Lavender Flower, a few drops of lavender essential oil, and ¼ teaspoon shimmery mica powder (adds a lux spa feel but is optional) all together in a small bowl and cover until ready to use.  Add to a hot bath and soak for at least 20 minutes.  This will allow your muscles to relax and reduce stress and tension in your body.

Tip: if you or a friend happen to grow lavender in the garden, save the flower stems!  I did this for the first time last summer and have been so happy.  It took only a few minutes to tie bunches together, cut and dry.  So far they have lasted perfectly, especially the coloring, and smell just as amazing as they did while growing.

    I could use this right about now. A nice bath with some bath salt would be nice. I think lavender is great for relaxing too. I’ll have to make this soon.
