With Valentine's Day around the corner, you might be thinking about what to get for those special someones in your life beyond a glitter coated heart-shaped card, a box of chocolates, or a bouquet of roses--all wonderful, natch, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to shake things up. And let's be honest, they've probably already used the treats you made them for the holidays! I like to think of Valentine's Day as a time when we can try a little tenderness, as the song goes. That includes pampering the people that fill your corner of the world with love, light, and happiness.
And who knows? If you want to treat an extra special someone to some TLC, the aphrodisiacs mixed into these bath salts might just make things a little more interesting. The clove and cinnamon oil are antibacterial and add a warming energy to your bath, while the rose petals bring a touch of romantic glamor as well as skin-softening and toning qualities. Adding rose oil and powdered cinnamon just takes this delectable soak over the top!
Ingredients:
1 cup Epsom salts
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup rose petals
30 drops cinnamon essential oil
30 drops rose oil or rose water
10 drops clove oil
Combine ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container indefinitely. Makes about 1 cup. Enjoy!
