    glass orniments with Bath Salts. My therapist gave me this idea last week. they look so nice in a basket on the tub, or anywhere in the bath.

    Ladies, may I suggest using the clear acrylic bulbs for the bathroom instead. Just in case you have little ones who may think they are a toy.

    BTW - Great ideas!
