Works For Me Wednesday-Spa Bath On A Budget
Image from Coastal Living
Sunday night was one of the most relaxing nights I’ve had in a long time. I went to a spa! No…it’s not what you’re thinking. I didn’t drive to the nearest pampering spot, I just walked into my bathroom! (My sweet husband got my bath all ready for me!) We are working VERY hard to pay off all our debts, so a spa trip is not in the budget. But, I’m not the least bit upset. Want to know my secret? Well you’ll just have to come back tomorrow!
No… I wouldn’t do that to y’all!
Here’s spa recipe on the cheap:
Ultimate Relaxing and Skin Softening Bath Salts
(This is enough for two baths, but it’s great to double if you have something to store it in.)
2 Cups of Epsom Salts (you can find large bags of this at any big box store or drugstore)
1/2 Cup Baking Soda
5 Drops of any essential oil ( you can find these at any health food store or Whole Foods, they are very concentrated so don’t add more than a few drops)
Start your water running and pour in about 1 cup of your bath salts. (Swish the water around while the tub is filling to dissolve the rest of the salts.) Light a few candles, put on some relaxing music and enjoy your spa bath that cost you less than a quarter!
Come back next Wednesday and I’ll share more budget friendly spa recipes!
Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for more Works For Me Wednesday ideas.

I love to take baths, but haven’t done that enough lately. I did finally have time last week when I had the house to myself and then the CAT started meowing at the door-she would not stop!
Your post has motivated me to give it another shot!

Sounds wonderful! Is that 1/2 Cup baking soda or 1/2 a box?

Have just returned from a wonderful trip to Phuket, stayed at West of Eden in the northeast part which is less hetic than southward areas, great resort and wonderful bays. We rented a cycle for only 500 baht per day and would drive around the total area. So many tremendous places to dine, our favourite spot was Thai Food Heaven which had the most fantastic view over the beach, the staff was quite nice and the food so yummy, we went for sunrise cocktails. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time in Phuket City and will be back for Christmas.
