Bath and Body Care

Lavender Bath Salts

Autumn is here and winter is on the way. It is time to make sure that we take care of our skin and body. Bath salts are a great way to do just that. You will be getting two recipes for a refreshing, relaxing bath soak. The first recipe is for Lavender bath salts that will refresh you and melt away any stress that you have been feeling. I don’t always get a chance to soak in a tub, but when I do I love the scent and feel of lavender on my skin.
