Having a bath at the end of a long day, is one of my favorite things to do. If you had a physical day doing manual labor, bent over working in the garden for too long (raising my hand!!!) or just had a tough work out, epsom salts in your bath can help ease the soreness you might experience.
Lavender is known to be a calming scent that is perfect to use before heading to bed. Lavender essential oil is used in this recipe as well as lavender flower buds . Either harvest your own dried lavender from your garden, learn how to grow your own lavender plants with winter sowing.
