March 8, 2016

By Barbara O'Reilly

Supplies

Epsom Salts: 2 cups
dark chocolate: 40 grams
Himalayan salt: 2 tablespoons
cacao: 1 tablespoon
almond oil: 30 ml (coconut oil would work great also)
bicarb soda: 2 tablespoons
vanilla extract: 1 tablespoon
mixing bowl
glass jar: I recycled an old 350 gram candle jar (learn how to clean them out here)

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all your supplies.

Step 2: Combine all your ingredients apart from the chocolate in a mixing bowl and stir.

Step 3: Use a grater or vegetable peeler to crumble the chocolate in.

Step 2: Stir again and pour it into your jar.

And that’s it. I am going to give some to my lovely lady friends in the hope that they will give themselves a bit of me time this Easter, you should grab yourself some me time too!
