Combine botanicals with additional skin-loving ingredients to disperse your bespoke blend of essential oils safely into a bathtub. In my (Nordic) part of the world, a warming soothing soak is exactly what’s called for during this hectic month of activities with social engagements, gift-making and extra shopping all around.

This lavender bath tea is in the bag and ready for the tub.

No bathtub? Luckily, this combination also makes for a fabulous foot soak.

(There’s still time to make a few of these products as holiday gifts)
