DIY lavender bath salts


Want a change from flowers and chocs to give to mum this Mother's Day? 

Why not pamper her with these homemade bath salts?  Made with Epsom salts to soothe any aches or pains (please see http://40plusandalliswell.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/been-out-christmas-shopping-restore.html and lavender buds for tranquility, they make an ideal gift to give mum a little spoiling.  

DIY lavender bath salts

You will need
Epsom salts
Lavender buds
Reusuable muslin bags 
Air tight jar

Place a couple of scoops of Epsom salts in the jar.  Add a layer of lavender buds and continue until the jar is full. Label and decorate with a ribbon if you wish and give it to mum with the muslin bags.  To use fill a muslin bag and place it in the bath (this prevents the lavender buds clogging up the bath).

Happy Mothers' Day!

Please see my 'sister' blog for the #blog post and yoga video-  http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/qualities-cultivated-by-yoga.html This blog post was included in the online paper 'Yoga Vitality Magazine'- http://paper.li/Yoga_Vitality/1336524135?edition_id=03e5d680-2499-11e7-802f-0cc47a0d1605#/ In recognition of Earth Day on the 22nd April, in this blog post I offer my thoughts on how the yamas can give us guidelines for looking after the environment.
