Bath Salts: Lavender Mint

Bath Salts: Lavender Mint – Homemade Bath Salts Recipe.

Bath Salts: Lavender Mint

Nothing says I love you mom on Mother’s Day like a homemade gift of lavender mint scented bath salts …

 

packaged nice and pretty in a mason jar, of course.

 

And, no, this gift doesn’t say, Mom you smell stinky and need to take a bath. Pronto.

 

Nope. Not at all. This talking bath salts gift says, Mom I love you so much that I want you to pamper yourself with a nice, hot steaming lavender and mint scented tub. And, yes, please let me pour you another glass of wine …

🙂

This mason jar project is so easy you can whip it up in 10 minutes. Tops.

All that’s left is to package it up in a mason jar. I cut out a piece of lavender paper to fit the wide mouth lid (just trace the lid onto a piece of paper) and added a small wood scoop, lavender ribbon and faux lavender sprig.

Oh, and be forewarned, this gift will elicit many, many hugs and kisses from mom.

    Lovely post! I adore bath salts a lot. I also love the smell of lavender. This would make a great DIY gift idea as well!

      You know what, they came with a canister set I use for flour and sugar ans such. You might check Etsy. That’s where I typically find unique things!

      I found mine at Michael’s craft store. But I’m sure you can find it at any craft store.

    How long can this be stored? Does it go bad? Does it have a shelf life?

    Thanks!

      I have noticed that the Epsom salts can start to clump, especially if there is moisture in the air. But they can easily be broken apart and will still work. So I’m guessing it could have a very long shelf life. I wouldn’t know. My daughter loves baths and uses these up faster than I can make them! 🙂

        My friend when making bath salts layers it on a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and bakes at 250 for 15 min-stir every 5 min
        then lets cool and puts in airtight jars-this prevents clumping

    This would make perfect Christmas gifts! How much should you put in each bath? 🙂

      I’m thinking about a tablespoon or two. Depends how much fizz you want! 🙂

    How much do you use per bath? It’s probably to each their own but is there a minimum starting point?

      I’m not really sure – perhaps a tablespoon or two per bath? My daughter is the bath expert! I’m all about the shower. 🙂

    Hello!! for your “Lavender mint salt bath” could I use epson lavender salt instead of just normal epson salt for this recipe? or do you think it would be too lavender-y then?
    thanks!

      Absolutely! And you might not need the lavender scent then … or you could use less.
