There are few things
that rival a nice warm bubble bath to reduce stress and find comfort. I have always advocated a nice soak in the tub and recently have found with the stress of moving, relocating the business and trying to keep up with orders, lectures and shows that I am in need of the healing powers of the bath.
I have also found that you can easily turn your tub into a spa like experience easily and cheaply. This recipe is not only sweet smelling and fun, it makes a great gift that although it smells like a cookie has absolutely no calories!
The added benefit of these salts is they are full of magnesium sulphate. This mineral reduces stress and eases muscle tension and inflammation.

Sugar Cookie Bath Salts
6 cups Epsom salts
1 Tbls. canola oil
4 drops vanilla extract
1/2 cup unscented liquid soap
1 tsp cinnamon
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. I have cookie sheets that are never used for baking and I used those, but I still lined them. Spread the salt on the sheet. Place oil, liquid soap and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Pour the wet mixture
over the salts. Sprinkle the cinnamon lightly over
all the entire mixture. Allow to air-dry until the moisture
is completely gone. Store in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep
in a cool and dry location.
To use: Add a scoop into a warm bath and
breath deeply. (When gift giving be sure to include a scoop!)
This sounds perfect for a hot bath on a cold winter night! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
