Aide Bodycare: DIY Organic Bath Salt Bar

You’ve heard me ramble on about Aide Bodycare many, many times before… enough to know that there never really will be a ‘last time’ ;). On my last visit to Michelle’s shop, she had a new feature that had me really excited: a DIY Bath Soak Bar.

We all know I love a good bath and DIY. So naturally, I was pretty stoked.

The Bar comes is loaded with epson and himalayan salts, tons of essential oils you can mix and play with, botanicals (I’m a big fan of the dried roses), oatmeal and more.

  

I’ve always been a huge fan of her pain relief muscle soak bath salts for a while now, and my love for it only grew after I broke my foot and royally messed up my leg (it still swells randomly and gives me trouble some times!) so I was pretty excited when she told me that all the ingredients were included in the bar. I opted to add some organic oatmeal to it to help soften my skin (I love a good oatmeal bath) and some dried rose petals because, well, they smelled fricken amazing.

Disclaimer: this is was the best bath I’ve ever had. Seriously.

  

It was sooo relaxing, had a light scent of roses, peppermint and eucalyptus and did wonders for my skin and muscles/pain. And I won’t lie, there is something so satisfactory about the fact that I made it. (Okay, with Aide Bodycare’s specially treated ingredients, but still, I mixed it all up real good with that wooden stick!)

The best part? It’s $10.
Not kidding.

For those of you who aren’t local, you can still shop her entire collection of soap, skincare and bath products online at her website or her Etsy store!
  

(P.S. I’m totally taking her Soap Workshop next weekend and I am so excited!!!)

If you’re looking for your next summer read, this If you’re looking for your next summer read, this is it! ☀️🛳️📚
In Too Deep is the second book from the Love at First Sail series. Molly was one of my fav characters from the first book, so naturally I was really excited to read her story.
Tropes & things I loved about this book:
• Top tier banter
• Rivals to lovers
• Forced proximity
• Fake dating
• A playlist woven throughout the book
Plus, @shellythornewrites is a local author!
You can read this as a standalone, but if you’ve read Cruising first if you’ll appreciate Molly’s journey so much more. 🫶
