3. Aspen Dreams Bath Salts
This scent is very woody, and is suited for soothing your muscles and
relaxing in the tub. It is very masculine in scent, I think. I enjoy this
after a long day at work, it makes me feel comfortable and content. Women
love it as well as men do.
The ingredients are:
2 cups of Epsom salts (or a mixture epsom/sea)
2 tablespoons of baking soda
essential oils:
5 drops of rosewood
2 drops cedarwood
2 drops Chamomile
a nice jar with a tight fitting lid
To make the salts:
Mix the salts and baking soda in a bowl very well.
Mix oils in a small cup. Take them and pour them evenly over the salt.
Mix the two very well.
Let sit for over an hour before placing in a jar and sealing.
If you are going to color these use yellow and red to make a light brown.
