This quick and easy DIY lavender rose bath soak turns a regular bath into a relaxing, spa-like experience. Make a batch and treat yourself to an indulgent soak or package the mix into cute jars to give as a gift.
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a special treat for you and it doesn’t involve anything chocolatey. If you’re in the mood for that, you can check out these amazing chocolate truffles or this paleo chocolate coconut tart, but today’s post isn’t about food. It’s about self care!
One of my favorite ways to practice self care is taking 30 minutes 2-3 times a week to take a relaxing bath. I had completely forgotten about taking baths for a while and just recently got back in the habit, out of necessity, taking epsom salt baths to help soothe sore muscles. But once I started back, I was quickly reminded just how relaxing and rejuvenating baths can be. I love soaking in the warm water while reading a book (or scrolling through Instagram). <— And yes I know having my phone in the tub is a horrible idea, but I still do it occasionally.
Bath soaks are amazing at relieving tension and relaxing tight muscles. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, I highly recommend trying an evening bath with this lavender rose bath soak or even just epsom salt and a few drops of lavender essential oil.
This particular bath soak is uber relaxing and soothing on several levels.
Plus, the mixture is so gorgeous with its shiny salt crystals and specks of pink and purple throughout.
So, if you need me I’ll be in the tub soaking with a few candles and a a good book… or my phone. 😉
PS — When using this soak, I highly recommend putting it into a muslin bag or mesh sachet rather than dumping the mixture into the tub with you. I took one for the team and experimented with this and it was kind of a mess. Plus having to clean the tub afterwards totally killed my zen vibe.

These are incredible! I love the Rose Milk one. I love the smell. I made some with the Love Spell dupe and it was awesome. I used purple rose petals and a little purple mica in a coconut milk and oatmeal base with grey sea salt. It was pretty awesome too.
I’m so glad you’re loving these DIY soaks, Evangeline. The purple rose petals sound devine. Thanks for sharing!
Lavender bath salts are beauty, skincare, anti-stress, wellness, mindfulness and spa products.
I love using them!
