After a long day....

Day 1 of Semester 2 in the books. The spring semester of the school year always feels like it is over in a heartbeat. Im excited to start the craziness that is my life once things get rolling. Us theatre nerds are putting on Antigone, the cheerleaders are heading to competition, my Modern Oratory team has an academic UIL meet on the 13th, starting a Event and Wedding plan course in Feb, helping community theatre in March-May, not to mention that I have 4 preps this semester and we just got the ok to move into a beautiful new home! ***SO many posts ideas!!1**** But after a 2 week vacation, its always super sucky to get back into the groove of a 7-4. So with the hubs out of town until Friday, a home-spa night was needed.


For a relaxing bath, I wanted to use some of the lavender bath salt left over from Christmas gifts.
This salt is amazing!!! I promise I refuse to EVER buy bath salt again. I also happened to have, and used, lavender essential oil I purchased from the Becker Winery in Wimberely, TX. It makes me smile and think of having wine with Mark in Fredricksburg on New Years Day 6 weeks before he proposed. I watched every sip I took that day, sure that the ring would be in the glass THAT time. But I wouldnt take back being surprised at The Driskill on Feb 4 for anything.


The recipe for the salt is easy:
(1) cup of epsom salt
(1) cup of sea salt
(10) drops of lavender essential oil
(3) drops of food coloring




Mix the above mentioned ingredients until the salt is evenly coated, pour into a pretty apothocary jar, cover with lace and ribbon. This is a picture of the gifts I gave to my family for Christmas. My little sister, Dominique, had the great idea of simply using the salt as an air freshener. Stir it up whenever you need to refresh the scent. :) Thanks Doodle!!
