After a long, hectic day, there’s absolutely nothing much better than a hot bath– other than, of course, a hot bath improved with aromatic bath salts. It’s surprisingly simple to make your own custom bath salt blends to suit your needs (like relaxing sore muscles or softening skin), then scent them with your favorite vital oils. As a completing touch, use food coloring to make your salt blend a pretty, calming color.
