Orange Dreamsicle ... what scents do to us!

MMMM Orange Vanilla ... scents ...

Some new bath salts.. sniff what does that smell do?

Soaking in a hot bath is a wonderful feeling. Adding bath salts can enhance the whole  experience exponentially! Do you have ..sore, tired feet from standing all day, or a stiff back from working at your desk or the gym , these salts can help improve the way you feel and help  ease away the tension. Not only do they come in a large variety of soothing fragrances, they also offer many other benefits including certain healing properties!!!! I know when I get done working out or after a long day at work.. I look forward to using these! 

According to Huff Post Healthy Living:

"If you're looking for a little pick-me-up, you may want to forget the cup of coffee and opt for citrus instead. Scents like lemon and orange are not only well-known for their Vitamin C properties, but simply sniffing the fruit can help boost energy and alertness. Talk about a real superfruit!"





Vanilla... hey they also say that:

 "Vanilla may often be used as a synonym for "bland," but this scent is anything but when it comes to our happiness levels. In a study published in the Proceedings of ISOT/JASTS 2004, researchers found that taking a whiff of vanilla bean elevated participants' feelings of joy and relaxation. The results were measured through mood mapping, which included emotions ranging from happiness and stimulation to apathy and irritation."


The wonderful salts include Pink himalayan Salts !
Which are known to Promote better sleep, detoxify, and so forth!

According to Wise geek:
"Bath salts open the pores to purify the skin, cleansing away dirt, sweat, and toxins. They aid in the healing of dry skin, making skin softer and more supple. Salts can help improve common irritations such as insect bites, minor rashes, and calluses on feet, as well as more serious skin conditions like athlete's foot, eczema, and psoriasis. High quality salts may also help improve the appearance of scars."



Each of these batches is handmade! Supporting small businesses is an awesome thing to do. Treating your family to healthy handmade alternatives is also an awesome thing to do! 

It Has been said that bath Salts made with Essential oils offer the added benefit of Aromatherapy. Some soothing scents have been shown to induce calmness and promote relaxation in many people . 





Till next time, Bree

Snow day..Apple Orchard Scent.Migraine Info...Bath Salt..

Apple Orchard

Well this snow day was designated soaps and salts and awesome information on Apple Scents! Mmm the wonderful scent of and Apple Orchard! 




According to Huff Post healthy Living:
"Apples may mitigate a migraine.
You know what they say, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" -- and that may be more true when it comes to headaches. Research has suggested that the smell of the crisp fruit may actually help ease a migraine. One 2008 study showed that those who found the scent appealing had a noticeable reduction in headache symptoms as well as shortened migraine episodes. Previous studies on a green apple's odor have also found the scent may help control feelings of anxiety during stressful moments."



Pure Ingredients also help you! 

A Blog I recently read published information that:
"The smell of spiced apple, Dr. Schwartz says, is especially effective. In studies of healthy volunteers under stress, it has brought systolic blood pressure down an average of three to five points and in some instances has lowered diastolic blood pressure as well.”"




Pink is my favorite color. 
According to Bourncreative.com:

"The color pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others. Pink represents friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability. Pink is the official colorfor little girls and represents sugar and spice and everything nice. Pink is the sweet side of the color red.Nov 15, 2010 "




These salts today are fine ground I have also done course. I love the different looks for both! I would love to hear which everyone likes best!  
When making and packaging I try to do metal,glass, and BPA free for plastics when needed. 
I love essential oils and such.  



Mason jars have been the perfect option for us! Who doesn't love these cute reusable containers! 
There Are a million ways to reuse these when your salts are gone... including buying a refill in a bag from Sweet Suds By Bree! However if you like to upcycle these I suggest this awesome blog post from Huff Post :




So from start to finish this was our haul of goodies we made today! 
My storage room smells so good right now...

Bath Salt... I tell you.... my whole kitchen smelled heavenly!

Today was all about making bath salts!
We made Almond Lavender, Purification Citrus, Peppermint, and Melon Ball!

No artificial colors!


According to the Times Of India:

"The benefits of bath salt are many, and go beyond mere exfoliating dead cells to make skin soft and supple. A nice long soak in a tub sprinkled with bath salt releases muscle tension and improves common irritations such as insect bites, minor rashes, calluses on feet, while working on serious skin conditions like athlete's foot, eczema, and psoriasis. "


According to Homegrownandhealthy.com:
"Himalayan salts are said to contain 84 essential minerals that not only make skin baby-soft, but also efficiently detox the entire body."


So take time for you! Be happy, Be healthy, Be Amazing!




Thanks, Bree
