Ingredients are very simple:

2 cups Sea Salt

2 cups Epsom Salt

15 drops essential oil (I usually use Lavendar)

food coloring (optional)

 Lavendar oil has a very relaxing scent.  It is one of my favorites.  In fact, one of my dreams is to operate a Lavendar farm someday.  I grow it on my patio, which is something I will get into in a post later on.  Some other choices include a citrus blend  (energizing) or eucalyptus (relaxing).

 Pour the salts in a bowl and add the oil drops.  The drops are strong and are not meant for direct full-strength contact, so mix them in carefully with a wooden spoon, not your hands.

 You can add color to your salt for decorative purposes. I usually leave mine plain white, but I used a green/blue combination here, so that you can see how it works. I used 2 drops of blue food coloring and 2 drops of green.  Then, I mixed it through, just like I did the scented oil.

It takes a few minutes, but eventually you get a nice even color.  Store the salt in a covered container.  That’s it! Easy, wasn’t it?
