DIY Homemade Herbal Bath Salts

I'm a huge bubble bath fan. It's one of my favorite parts of the day. Getting to listen to your favorite music with candles, incense, and the perfect oils. I have been making herbal bath salts for a few years now, so I thought I would share my recipe with you guys so you can try it at home! It's so easy and takes no time at all!

Whenever I'm at Whole Foods I'm always tempted to buy their bath salts but they are so EXPENSIVE! Making them is so much cheaper it's insane.
