Eucalyptus Spearmint Bath Salts

Eucalyptus Spearmint Bath Salts

I love this scent combination when my body is feeling tired. But buying it at the store is much too expensive. So I figured out how to make my own eucalyptus spearmint blend. I placed the salts in a jar I painted with dots. It's all green, in honor of my spring fever.

Approximate Time: 5 minutes

Supplies:

• 1 cup Epsom salt
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 3 drops spearmint essential oil
• 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 2 drops green food coloring

Instructions:

1. Pour the salt and baking soda in a small bowl. Mix together.
2. Add essential oils and mix well.
3. Split the mixture into two even batches.
4. Place the second half in a separate bowl. Add food coloring to bowl and mix well.
5. Tilt a glass jar and pour a little of the plain salt in. Pour some green salt in. Repeat switching until the bottle is full. This will give you the neat, multi wave effect.
