Homemade Lavender Bath Salts

As holiday gifts for some women at work, I made some lavender bath salts and put them in little clear jars with locking lids. It was pretty easy to assemble, and makes a quick but lovely gift. The salts work great for a soothing bath or foot soak.

To make the salts, I mixed together:
- 1 cup coarse-grain sea salt
- 3/4 cup Epsom salt
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 10 drops of 100% pure lavender essential oil
- dried lavender (collected during the summer and dried since then)

In a large bowl, I mixed together the salts first, and added baking soda to the mixture. I distributed the oils throughout the mixture while mixing with a spoon. After taking the dried lavender flowers off of their stems, I added them to the salts. There was enough to make 4 jars of bath salts.
