i love to give a fun homemade gift to my kids teachers, so why not make something to help them relax after a long day at school that also smells good!!
Start off of with Epsom salts, I get the plain kind that does not have any sent to it, but you can most defiantly get a scented kind if you wish it just costs more. I also add in a bit of baking soda, some food coloring, and fresh rosemary.
Recipe
2 cups of Epsom salts
2 Tbps Baking Soda
3 Springs of Fresh Rosemary Pull from the stems and ripped or cut
10 drops green food coloring


Mix all these ingredients in a large bowl with a spoon getting everything "green" from the food coloring. If you do not have fresh rosemary you can early use dried, or leave it out all together, but I love the smell of it and it really adds that extra touch of amazing.


At this point you can also add in drops of essential oils such as peppermint, lavender, or any other scent of your choice.
Place in jars make sure to fill all the way to the top!
Here is a video on not only how to make the bath salts but also on how to decorate the jars!!
Lastly decorate your jars, adding in some fresh rosemary to the decor so people know what is in the jar and the scent you used. Now you have an amazing gift for your kids teachers that was super cheap and fun to make!!


P.S. i double the recipe and kept a bunch for my self :)
