Cathartic Crafts: Rose Bath Soak

Hello! and welcome to my second Cathartic Craft blog. This is a mini-series within the Self Care blogs where I teach you how to make easy crafts designed to improve your wellness. Up first is my DIY Coffee Scrub. This scrub was the perfect addition to the relaunch of The Blooming Babe and is one its video is one of four launch day videos you can find on my IGTV.

I love DIY soaks because most of the ingredients can be found in the kitchen, they are quick to make, and it can turn a regular Sunday into an at-home spa day. I started making this soak in January and after starting my pole dancing classes. Rose bath soaks are great because they reduce stress, help reduce insomnia, improve circulation, and reduce swelling and bruises. Best of all, all of the ingredients are in your kitchen :)

Ingredients:

• I 1/2 cups of Epsom Salt

• 1/2 cup of Himalayan Pink Salt

• 1/4 cup of Dried Rose Petals

• 1 tbsp of Baking Soda

• 5 - 10 Drops of Rose Essential Oil

• measuring spoons, cups, and a mixing bowl

So, how do you make the scrub? Check out the video below for instructions and tips!

A few key items from the video:

• ALWAYS do a skin patch test to ensure you are not allergic to any ingredients

• Use coarse Himalayan Pink Salt for longer baths

• Have fun :)
