Scented Bath Salts

Scented Bath Salts 

1 cup epsom salt

1 cup sea salt

2 cups baking soda Essential oil(s) 

10 drops food coloring (optional)

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl, then add 4 teaspoons of essential oil in any fragrance or combination. Stir. You may also tint the bath salts if you so desire by adding 10 drops of food coloring to the bowl after you add the essential oils. Stir again. Store bath salts in a tightly capped container for 2 to 3 days before using. You can also divide

the bath salts equally between 2 large bowls, tint them different colors,

and then carefully pour them into a clear container, making what appears to be "sand art". Or tint one red, and scent both containers with peppermint oil, then layer it in a clear container and wrap with red ribbon.
