Homemade Scented Bath Salts

PERKI GUEST POST!
Here it is our first guest post. I'm so excited because crafting is what my sister Natricia and I do for fun. 

By Natricia Perkins





What your need:
Extra virgin olive oil
Epsom salt
Essential oils
Small or medium jars
Narrow spatulas or spoons
Paint and stencils to decorate


Decorate your jars with paint or stickers. Label them and be sure they are clean and dry before you begin.


Step 1.
We filled our large bowl half way with Epsom salt and added the olive oil until it was a paste. Be careful not to add too much or your scrub will be runny.


Step 2.
Portion the mixture into your jars with a small spoon or spatula. Fill it only half way.









Step 3.
Add your choice of essential oils to scent your creation. I chose Peppermint for one and Lavender and Lemongrass for another. Measure by drops carefully into the jar. For the small jars 4 was enough. If you want to mix your scents find a ratio and add drops sparingly.






Step 4.
Add the last portion of the salt- olive oil mixture to fill the rest of the jar.



Step 5.
Screw the lid on tightly and shake to ensure even distribution.



Step 6.
I tied a bow on this one to give it a special touch.





What a great gift, especially since it was for me, wink!  

Thanks Natricia!
