Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and you want to make something special that will delight mom on her special day. This homemade lavender milk bath mix is so easy that you’ll have it ready by May 8th, but you better hop to it!
What you’ll need:
1 ½ cups Powdered Milk
½ cup baking soda
½ cup cornstarch
½ cup Epsom salts
10-20 drops of the essential oil of your choice
What’s so special about these particular ingredients? Consider the essential oil: lavender is considered to be especially calming, but rosemary, citrus, mint, almond, and honey all have such lovely scents that any one of these choices is perfect. Powdered Milk? Milk baths have long been considered to be very soothing to the skin. Why, even Cleopatra enjoyed milk baths and claimed that the practice was the reason for her beautiful skin. And we know that mom works really hard, so the addition of Epsom salts is perfect for soothing sore muscles. All in all, a perfect combination.
Once you have all of these ingredients on hand, mix them all together and spoon the mix into a pretty glass jar, make a pretty label that includes instructions to use ½ cup of the mix in the bath (more or less, depending on amount of water in the tub), and wrap with a pretty ribbon, yarn, or baker’s twine. That’s it!
