Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
- The green glass container holds regular old "Ivory Liquid" Dish Soap that is my thrifty "bubble bath"!
- Ivory Liquid is great for my sensitive skin....
- The little glass container is pure Coconut Oil...solid because in the cooler months my bathroom is not above 75 degrees :(
- I use Coconut Oil as a moisturizer all winter....try it....it is amazing!
You COULD buy 1 envelope of Lavender Bath Salts for $5......
Yeah....right!

I have these cute little transparent box/bags that I scored at AxMan Surplus for 25 cents a piece.... because they have advertising printed on them....No problem.....I just covered it up with a folded piece of scrapbook paper!
I Hand wrote a little message on the card......
Filled a ziplock bag with the bath salts...Found A spoon....
Some tissue paper.....
A pretty ribbon.....
And I have a pretty nice little hostess gift....for a pretty nice little price!
Now THAT is Sweetwater Style....
I bet I could use the little folded gift bags from this post too!
hmmmm
what about adding a coordinated candle and matches too?
Read the tutorial for making these HERE
Planning all these projects has stressed me out....I think I will go relax and take a bath!

That sounds like a wonderful "recipe", Mary. I always use Dreft for bubble bath for the little girls...the pink liquid for diapers. It is hypoallergenic and they smell wonderful and their skin feels like silk. I never buy the commercial stuff either. This bath salt recipe is one I would try. I have been using olive oil on my skin because I am so sensitive to everything commercial I have tried. I have not tried coconut oil yet though. I think I will give it a try. xo Diana
Thanks for the recipe.... it looks easy and I'm sure it smells great.
I also love the packaging ideas.
Thanks for posting.

Mary,
I also have sensitive & dry skin ... and I have all those ingredients in my home right now ... I just might be soaking later on today! Great gift idea as well.
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog about the museum putty; I really appreciated that you mentioned you were pinning from my post as that was such a courteous FYI to me as the author ... I'm going to **try** and hold myself to that "standard" when I pin as well. Thanks so much for being a great blog reading / pinning role model.

I love the idea of giving this for gifts. I can think of all sorts of pretty jars and stuff I could make. Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe and gifts. I didn't even know they made lavender epsom salt! Thanks for sharing at this week's BFF Open House.
I make my own bath salts too but have never added coconut oil. I will definitely be adding that in my next batch! I love your ideas in this post-thank you!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
These are fantastic! I've been meaning to try to make my own bath salts too but haven't yet. Thanks for the motivation & inspiration, I'll be trying this soon!
What an AWESOME gift idea! I'm an using this for Christmas!!
I love this idea!!! It would make a nice little Christmas gift for a neighbor, or a fun stocking stuffer! :) Thanks for sharing on Fancy This Fridays... by the way... SOMEONE has a feature!

I've never seen lavendar epsom salts before. I'm going to have to look for those so I can make this. One of the best parts of winter, a nice warm bath.
Oooh! Looks fantastic! I would be delighted if you would link this post to Spa{ahhh} Sundaze. (http://www.projectpossessed.com/spaahhh-sundaze/spaahhh-sundaze-116/)
How much is a "little" coconut oil?
Thanks for sharing, what an awesome gift idea!! New follower from Mom Blog Monday, I look forward to reading :)
You can just use lavender essential oil
