My newest thing... bath teas!

Bath tea! What an exotic concept... but really pretty simple. Sounds luxurious and it is. Here's what I did...

Mixed up the ingredients... Magnesium sulfate... a fancy name for good ol' Epsom Salts
Sodium Bicarbonate... ordinary baking soda
Powdered Milk
Dried Lavender Flowers
Oatmeal
And voila... Lavender Oatmeal Milk Bath Tea!!!

OK... but to package this delightful concoction, believe me the smell is heavenly!

Found a small tin at Michael's and some small organza bags...

I filled the tin almost to the top with the loose tea, scooped one lavender colored organza bag full of the mixture and placed it on top of the loose ingredients... closed up the lid, added a tag with ingredients and directions, tied with silver elastic string and tied a tiny wooden scoop to the side as well... super cute!

To use the tea, you hang the organza bag filled with the "tea" to the faucet while the water is running to fill the tub, making sure the water runs through the tea bag as the tub fills, then plop the bag into the tub as you soak.

Afterwards, empty the "tea bag" and let it dry, and, using the wooden scoop attached, refill for your next luxurious, aromatic soak...

Ahhhh... relaxation at its finest!
