Essential Oil Soothing Bath - Valentines Day Gift

I have to be honest, this blog was titled Essential Oil Bubble Bath but when I tried it I saw very few bubbles so I changed the name. This also works as a shower gel.

Still way better than store bought and safer too! By using essential oils and other natural ingredients you know this will be gentle on your skin. Kids will love it too. You’ll help them get ready for a great nights sleep by adding lavender or other soothing and calming essential oils to their nightly bath.

Here is what you’ll need-
1 cup unscented castile soap or baby soap ($7.99 for 16 fl.oz)
1/2 cup vegetable glycerin ($8.09 for 16 fl.oz.)
Note: Castile soap and vegetable glycerin are sold at Whole Foods or Life Grocery.

15 drops of essential oil. You could use Lavender but I used Calming Blend which is a blend of Lavender, Sweet Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood and Vanilla Bean Extract. (It smells so good you can use it as perfume!) This relaxing blend helps to calm and soothe feelings of stress, excitement and anxiety. Perfect for an evening bath.

Find a pretty container - I found one at Target for $3.99. It’s supposed to be used for olive oil but it’s perfect for a this wonderful bath blend.
