I have never felt so stressed as I have since becoming a mom. I love my kids so incredibly much that I tend to worry about them all the time!

So many moms can relate to that feeling, I know. That’s why it’s so important for us all to indulge in a little me time.

Lavender is one of my favorite scents to use when I need some stress relief. I love to use dried lavender, fresh lavender and lavender essential oil – or any combination thereof!

Here are some of my favorite DIY lavender beauty products:

  • Lavender Sugar Scrub Cubes
  • Lavender Bath Bombs
  • Calendula Lavender Salve
  • Sandalwood Lavender Bath Sachets
  • Lavender Chamomile Goat Milk Soap
  • Dry Skin Balm with Lavender

Today, I want to add a recipe for Relaxing Lavender Bath Salts to that list. The ingredients will relax your whole body while detoxing through your skin as well.

    Just the fragrance alone would be sooooooo relaxing. When my lavender begins to bloom again, I will definitely have to try this.

    Would love to grow my own lavender even if is only for my own uses. Any ideas how to get started now? Can’t afford to keep having to buy the lavender buds, am on fixed income. Could then make lavender products for daughter and grand daughters also, save us all some green stuff.
    My first project will be making the lavender bath salts. Great tutorial. Will come back to print out other lavender projects you mentioned. You have me hooked.
    Grand Junction has it’s own lavender festival but not until July. There are several successful lavender growers/farms in area.
