1 cup epsom salts (sea salts would be preferable but are $$)
1/3 cup lavender buds
3-4 drops lavendar essential oil
Put in food processor on Puree until it is a nice grey/lavender
I've been tossing a handful in each bath!

I make mine with fine sea salt, bits of rosemary, rosemary essential oil and pure virgin olive oil....very soothing and your skin becomes silky smooth
