Citrus Bath Salts

Give mum the gift of relaxation this Mothers Day with some homemade Citrus Bath Salts. Homemade Bath Salts are really easy to make. My youngest (Miss 12) made and photographed these for me to share with you. They would also make a lovely gift to give to grandma, friends, teachers at the end of the school year or simply for yourself. A hot bath with bath salts are a lovely way to end a long and tiring day.

You will need:

EPSOM SALTS – these can be found in the beauty aisle at the grocery store.  Epsom salt is not actually salt, but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulphate. Long known as a natural remedy for a number of ailments, Epsom salt has numerous health benefits, as well as many beauty and household uses.

ESSENTIAL OIL – add essential oils to make for a lovely scented atmosphere in the bathroom, as well as help to invigorate your senses and focus your mind.  Read more about which oils I use.

COLOURING (optional) – we don’t colour our bath salts as my preference is to keep it as natural as possible. However, you can a drop of food colouring if you prefer.  Purple with lavender oil, orange or yellow with citrus oil, green with eucalyptus, etc. If you do choose to use food colouring, use it sparingly so you don’t colour your bathtub. And just in case you’re concerned, a few drops of colour will not dye your body!

AIRTIGHT CONTAINER – store the salts in an airtight container. You can find a great variety here.

LABEL – if you like, add a handwritten label to your jar. Citrus Bath Salt: Contains epsom salt and pure essential oils of citrus bliss and grapefruit. Add 1/4 cup of bath salts to warm bathwater; wait until dissolved, and enjoy!

Hi Katrina: Love making my own bath salt for gifts and always looking for new ideas. My youngest and I are making some for the staff at our local hospital. One thing – I have just learned that not all Epsom Salts are at the same. Some are natural and some are manufactured offshore. I am only interested in natural epsom salts and there are only a few places you can buy the natural ones.

How interesting! Thank you for this extra bit of information – I will certainly make sure my Epsom Salts are natural when I make bath salts in the future 🙂

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
