This isn't extravagent but it is natural and smells nice!

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!

You can also use many combos of scents. The possibilities are limitless. I've also ground up a handful of coco shea butter and things like that into mine, and have also used powdered milk in different mixes too. Makes your skin very very soft! It's a recipe definitely worth tinkering with.

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
