Lavender Bath Salts With a Twist
"You don't necessarily need to use all the essential oils, but it does make a nice fragrance and the lavender is relaxing. Although the peppermint is supposed to be energizing! So maybe they cancel each other out! LOL Rosemary is good for sore muscles."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Watertown, Wisconsin
I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
