Easy Bubble Bath

Soap Flakes or Grated Soap--2 cups

Water--1 gallon

Glycerin--1/4 to 1/2 cup

Shampoo or Liquid Dish Soap--2 cups

Essential Oil of Choice

Mix the soap flakes, water and 2 tbsp glycerin in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally until the soap has dissolved. (Store this liquid soap in a covered container, used as an all-purpose soap or hand soap.)

In a bowl, add 2 cups of this mixture to the rest of the glycerin, shampoo and essential oil.

Pour into a one quart container. Store covered at room temperature.

When you're ready to bathe, add about one cup to your tub as it's filling. Remember!

Use no more than 30 drops of essential oils to 1 oz of carrier (bubble bath)! (15 drops being very safe.)

Lavender Getaway Bath

For a soothing winter bath, put 2 tablespoons of lavender buds (Lavandula angustifolia) and 2 tablespoons of finely ground oatmeal into a small muslin bag or a piece of cloth.

Secure tightly with a string or rubber band.

Tie the bundle with the string or a piece of ribbon so that it hangs under the faucet of your bathtub.

Once the bath is full, try rubbing the bundle gently over your skin.

Both the lavender and the oatmeal will work to soothe dry skin
