MOMMY TIME = SPA TIME



Last week Susie Harris has been sharing her update on one of her bathrooms in her home. Oh some different looks than most I have seen. I have fallen in love with the simple things she has shared and one was her sugar dispenser..oops her bath salt dispenser. I thought gosh I need to start giving myself mini spa nights. So over the weekend I bought some bath salts from Walmart and soaked for over an hour with candles and my new Better Homes and Garden Magazine...oh it was a nice getaway from the world. Afterwards I went a surfing on how to make some bath bubbles cause all the types I buy don't last long at all. I found a few I am going to try and thought I would share what I found.

I love my soaks in the tub! They are far and few between these days. Kelsie is always knocking on the door and coming in, wanting to join.

Thank you for sharing your recipes! I'm into aromatherapy and enjoy making my own mixes of things! One bath product that I recently discovered and LOVE is: "Village Naturals Sleep Therapy Foaming Mineral Bath Oil." The bubbles last the entire bath which is wonderful and it smells fabulous! I picked it up at Walgreens when it was on sale. And what's great is it's 94.5% naturally derived!
