I make my own bath salts. I buy epsom salts in bulk from the bulk food store, it usually costs around .40/lb. I add a couple drops of essential oil (my fav is lavender) to the salts, and mix them up really well. The salts should be fragrant, but not overpowering. I store them in a tupperware container until I'm ready to use them, then I add about a cup of salts to my bath water.

We've made them like lottaLove too. One difference is that we've added a tiny bit of food coloring to some. It only takes the slightest bit to add color, and no color transfer to skin or tub so far.
