Another super-easy-but-seemingly-super-fancy gift you can make yourself today. Look, who doesn’t love bath time? Especially in this freezing weather (remember when I was in Australia last week? Ah the good days…) So put that bath lovin’ to good use and make some holiday candy cane style bath salts to  give someone that extra fun, but still natural and non-toxic, bath treat this year. As well as being a lovely festive gift, epsom salts in your bath can help to relieve muscle tension, pain, joint inflammation, headaches, abdominal cramps and sore feet. A myriad of benefits! So give this to a bath lover or maybe someone who’s having a physically tougher time for some healthy, christmassy relief. They’ll sure thank you for it.

Ingredients

2 cups of Epsom Salt
1 cup of Salt
1 cup of Baking Soda
10 drops of peppermint oil
5-10 drops red food coloring

Instructions

– Add the salt and baking soda to a bowl, adding in the peppermint oil drops and mixing well.

– Transfer half the mixture into a separate bowl.

– In one bowl, add the red food colouring and stir until well combined and an even pink/red colour throughout.

– Transfer your salts to a jar or bottle, alternating between red and white layers until full. Decorate as you wish!

So easy, so christmassy, so fancy, so cheap. And honestly, doesn’t it just feel nicer to give something beautiful that you made yourself. Help your loved ones unwind this year with this easy peasy DIY, or maybe just treat yo self this Christmas 😉

Until next time, stay magic y’all.
