A Twist on Shower Melts

It’s cold and flu season and I have shower melts on the brain.

 

Shower melts are a wonderful way to open the airways with steam and essential oils when you are congested and don’t have time for a warm soak in a tub.

 

But they are also great for other uses too! Ever feel like you can’t wake up in the morning and need a little energy boost?

 

How about a warm soothing shower to relax you before a much needed night sleep?

 

What about a luxurious shower before a special date night to make you feel pretty?

 

Or even a special part of a self care routine?

 

Today I’m here to give you all those options! Your showers will never be the same!

 

Basic Recipe

1 cup baking soda

½ cup epsom salts

Water in a spray bottle

 

Mix baking soda, epsom salts and essential oils together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Add your choice of oils, coloring and even flowers. Then spray water into the mixture a little at a time until it is the consistency of wet sand.

 

Pack the mixture into molds and let dry overnight.
