Lately I have been trying to make a conscious effort to take a little bit better care of myself both physically and mentally. It is so easy to just get stuck in the rut of being a mom and constantly putting yourself last.
So sometimes when the husband is home at night and I get a little alone time in my own house, instead of just drinking wine and browsing the internet (pretty much what usually happens) I have been getting creative with different beauty treatments and I turn my bathroom into a mini spa for like 25 minutes, since that is usually all the time I get before little people come running in ha. It leaves me feeling relaxed, refreshed and just better in general.
I recently experimented with Pink Himalayan sea salt since it is a natural detoxifying agent and I loved the after results!
Benefits of Himalayan Salt:
- Helps draw out toxins from your body
- Improves air quality (so even putting an open jar next to your bath would be wonderful too)
- Improves energy
- Deep cleanses the skin
What you need:
- 1 cup of Himalayan Salt (can be found in bulk at your local health food store)
- 1 can of coconut milk (only ingredients should be coconut milk & water)
- 6-7 drops of lavender essential oil
Directions:
Add all of ingredients listed above to a warm bath. Hop in, sit back and relax :)

Ooh this sound so lovely. I already enjoy a lavender and salt bath but the coconut milk sounds even better! xxx
This sounds great! Thanks! Maybe combine the two - relaxing in this WITH the glass of wine ;)
mmmmmmmmhmmmm I want to do this.
I use the salt with oils and my favorite scents as a scrub using olive, avocado, and almond oil. I also read about the beneficial effects of oatmeal in the bath. I put some in a blender and made a nice powder out of it. It's a natural softener and easy enough to do for your baths. What do you think about using it as a facial mask, the oatmeal that is, with the DoTerra lavender and deep blue?
This sounds absolutely amazing! I loved that stuff! I think I may have to give it a try.
I love salt soaks and scrubs so this sounds wonderful! No matter how natural the lifestyle, we are all exposed to chems and toxins so using a salt scrub or doing a salt soak should be part of every bodies beautiful skin routine.
Which brand of coconut milk do you use? I cannot find any without guar gum!! I prefer organic with only coconut + water and have had no luck. Thanks!
