Hello Bloomers!
Life gets busy. Between work, family, and all the daily to-dos, it’s easy to put yourself last on the list. But self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. Taking time to unwind, breathe, and focus on yourself can do wonders for your mind, body, and spirit. And for me, one of my favorite ways to slow down and recharge is with a warm, soothing bath.
A few years ago, I stated making homemade bath salts. I did some research to learn a bit about the benefits of essential oils and epsom salts. When combined, they create a powerful duo for relaxation, pain relief, and overall well-being. And, they're really easy to create, cost-effective, and make beautiful, thoughtful gifts for friends who could use a little pampering as well!
DIY Lavender & Rose Petal Bath Salts
This Lavender & Rose Petal Bath Salt blend is one of my favorites. It combines Epsom salt (great for soothing sore muscles), Himalayan salt (rich in minerals), lavender (for relaxation), and rose petals (for a touch of beauty and indulgence).
Ingredients:
2 cups Epsom salt
1 cup Himalayan pink salt
1 cup baking soda (softens skin)
1/2 cup dried lavender flowers
1/2 cup dried rose petals
2 tbsp argan oil
2 tbsp jojoba oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
6 jars (I used 7 oz glass jars w/ bamboo lids I found on Amazon)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, and baking soda together.
Add the dried lavender and rose petals.
Add the argan and jojoba oils, and drop in the essential oil.
Mix well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
Pour the bath salts into individual jars
How to Use: Add 2 scoops to your bath under warm running water. Stir the water with your hand to help dissolve the salts and release the aroma. Then, soak, relax, and rejuvenate!
A Thoughtful Gift for Your Girlfriends
Self-care is even sweeter when shared! These homemade bath salts make beautiful gifts for friends, sisters, or anyone who needs a little pampering. I tied with ribbon, a small bamboo scoop and gift tag for that extra touch!

Pair with a candle, a handwritten note, or a face mask, and you have a perfect “just because” gift that encourages your loved ones to take a little time for themselves.
Make Time for You
Whether it’s five minutes of deep breathing, a quiet cup of coffee, or a luxurious bath with homemade bath salts, prioritizing self-care is a gift to yourself. So, slow down, light a candle, and treat yourself to a moment of calm. You deserve it.
