Lavender Bath Salts With a Twist

WI Cheesehead's Note:

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.
