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.

Give mum the gift of relaxation this Mothers Day with some homemade Citrus Bath Salts. Homemade Bath Salts are really easy to make and make a lovely gift.

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 🙂

DAY 11 - 14 Day April Home Refresh ✨ RESTYLE ONE DAY 11 - 14 Day April Home Refresh ✨ RESTYLE ONE AREA⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chances are, you may have a space or corner in your home that’s looking a litte drab. Perhaps it's paperwork on top of side tables in the hallway, clothes + books in a corner of your bedroom, a blank wall that needs a picture, or a piece of furniture that’s no longer working for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little bit of restyling and organising can help to freshen and brighten up this space. Even just spending 15 minutes can make a big difference! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What space/corner in your home needs a little attention?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Check out today's email in your inbox with steps on how to restyle one area.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨ Task: Clean + Tidy The Shower
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know me, I like to organise all types of areas! Junk drawer, utensil drawer, dirty washing- I even organise the shower.  Especially with 3 teenage kids there can end up being quite a bit of product lingering in the shower. Organising makes the shower easier to clean too! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My kids like to keep all their body washes and face scrubs in the shower and just add to it, they also each like a different type of shampoo. So there are a lot of bottles in their shower. I like to keep all products up off the floor to make cleaning as easy as possible. I had an over shower holder, but it would rattle and then went rusty. So when I saw the iHook Shower Caddy I was eager to try it out!

✨ Task: Tidy Pantry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have just recently given my pantry a makeover. I like to keep all items in my pantry in containers, I throw out the bulky packaging and this utilises the space in my pantry really well. I’ve removed all the Tupperware from my pantry and replaced with OXO, which you can purchase in my shop @organisedhq (currently up to 40% off). I have put the old containers I was using away for my twins as I am sure they are going to be moving out sometime in the next few years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do have a lot of containers- I like to cook, bake and create and share recipes with The Organised Housewife community. I like to always have everything readily available. I am absolutely loving my new pantry! So easy to see what food levels I have and what needs replenishing in the next grocery shop. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've filled my pantry with a lot of different sized containers to suit a variety of food. There are specific containers that fit particular foods perfectly! I've created a cheat sheet to help you know what container is best for which foods! Free download in the link in my bio 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did you go with today's task? What do you struggle with in your pantry?

✨ Task: Clean Three Windows
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I must admit that cleaning windows is one of the cleaning tasks that I regularly neglected in my home when the kids were younger. It was a hopeless cause to want to have sparkling clean windows when there were curious little fingers around. Purely for my own sanity, I stopped worrying about having perfectly clean windows inside, but when they were clean they looked so good! I think with kids it’s OK to lower your expectations of having a spotless home. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My fave window cleaning tools are from @organisedhq ✨
